STEM Child

These are the unfortunate children born with slightly brighter minds than most, And the unfortunate off-spring of STEM Parents. While most people who do go into STEM fields are quite successful, it is simply not the case with these poor souls. These children are naturally fairly bright and often surpass normal levels of intelligence and comprehension for their age, but as they age they grow into their intelligence, They are no longer exceptionally intelligent children, they're now above average teens and adults. After likely being shipped off to some STEM School or Advanced School of Insert Generic Scientific Term as a child they begin to struggle and fall behind, The work being provided is not the same easy amount of manageable assignments as before in their normal schools back when they still had friends and relationships. The transition has hurt them, and they are hurting on the inside. Their STEM Parents remain totally oblivious to this and continue to slobber over How their children are going to be so wildly successful and brilliant when they go to some University or collage and study Some advanced science crap or some sort of NASA related thing for 4+ years. This continues on until the Child goes mad, Moves out and attempts to live a normal live free from dictation, Or somehow manages to live up to their parents in a painful existence.

Mike: Did you see that kid over there, He looked really stressed.
June: Yeah, he did. Sort of reminds me of a STEM Child. Did you hear his parents boasting about him to all the teachers?
Mike: Yeah, and they were the teachers in the grade ahead of him..
June: Definitely a STEM Child.
Mike: Definitely STEM Parents. Hope the guy is better off in the future.

STEM Parents

These are the types of parents that over obsess about their children doing good in grade school and think that their child is some sort of child prodigy. Usually their child will be a tad brighter than most in actuality, but instead of viewing their child as bright, they view them as some sort of young Isaac Newton. These types of parents are likely going to send their child to some sort of STEM school as soon as possible, and hold little regard for their child's relationships or even mental well being, as to them, these "relationships" are meaningless and friends are not needed to achieve things in life. These types of parents tend to tell their children "mottos" to live by, which in reality is their own convoluted propaganda such as: "Educate, Educate, Educate".
While these phrases hold little actual meaning, In the mind of the parent, they are only doing what is right.
These types of parents often do not realize, or ever truly realize what they are doing by dictating their children's lives with the premise of; Education is Power, and most of the children who fall victim to these kinds of parents never do truly succeed due to the overwhelming amount of stress and ridicule they receive from their parent's dictation and manipulation of their entire childhood and early to mid teenage years.
You can be above average, but just because you are doesn't mean that you are the next Einstein..

John: Hey. Did you see how those parents insisted on how their kid would raise the school's success rate by himself.
Molly: Yeah, I did. Kid looked really nervous, almost like he was expected to do something he was incapable of.
John: Now that you mention it, the way that kid's parents talked about him made them seem an awful lot like STEM Parents..
