Just curious - do you have a child in middle school? I've seen some incredibly high-IQ kids be every bit as wrapped up in self-esteem issues and worries over boyfriend/girlfriend/popularity/etc as any other kid, whether or not they were appropriately academically challenged. We even had a group of "AP kids" who were in trouble with the law a few years back.
My first roommate in college, a nice full academic scholarship guy, had already been arrested for a felony before he started college.
He had to serve a few days in jail over winter break.
