A third of them are larpers, another third are legit, but super depressed and hate their life, and the other third are geniuses(if u go to a competitive school u sometimes see some literal academic demons. They r scary ngl ๐)

when some kid says โmy non-profit raised $100,000 for sick kids,โ you can be fairly sure mom and dad donated $95,000 and grandma coughed up the rest.

genuinely LARP; some strategically maneuver the truth, have access to private tutors, have more externally help, their family connections help introduce the initial doors.
extremely extremely very few ppl are rare geniuses; aka terrance taos of the world. even Terrance tao came from a affluent-ish family where he didn't need to worry abt his food or other concerns so he intellectual-maxxed & professor-maxxed lol.
