: You are doing right! Open your mind! Don't trust authority, question it. Be a thinker (but remember what happened to some great thinkers who were "too far out in front".)

Yeah, they discovered relativity (Einstein), quantum physics and microminiaturization (Feynman), DNA (Francis and Crick), etc. Society didn't know what hit them. Hopefully society has advanced to the point where it has a place for smart people. If you have ideas, run with them.

: That's why you need school.

If school is holding you down, read The Teenage Liberation Handbook. If it's not, then are you sure you're learning enough? Are you sure you can't just finish the standard curriculum and go on to better things?
