Many people think being gifted is a bad thing. Your labeled a nerd, dork, smarty-pants but think about it... there are negative lables  for everyone and everything. Its apart of human nature to be labeled as somthing. What those people who lable you dont relize is that when your gifted your also creative,artisticly incliened and special. Being gifted has many ups and downs.
Some ups of being gifted is that it helps you with honors classes and college. Also its gives you a +7 on your GPA. But enough with that.

As well as that you also have more of a creative side than others that allow you to think more freely and express yourself in more artistic ways.
There arent just ups being gifted has some downs to. Some downs of being gifted is that you get teased somtimes and people take advantage of you. Another thing is that people expect a lot of you which is a lot of pressure especailly if your a kid. Also when your gifted people take advantage of you.
