when children who were once considered the "gifted" or "smart" kids in class grow up to underperform academically and (likely) socially. the kid who actually liked doing homework and got all A's when they were nine but by sixteen aren't doing well in school and often feel crushing disappointment at the loss of approval teachers and parents once gave them. often have problems socializing, have poor mental health, and resort to drinking/drugs/other forms of escapism. usually really smart, but still do poorly/average in school.
amanda: didn't you used to get straight A's? what happened?

A kid who was "smart" in their younger years. Often growing up a perfectionist and or having a superiority complex. Who when reaching middle, high school, or collage, cant keep up. Becoming paralyzed with who they could be, struggling to keep up with their past grades and achievements. The kind of person who grows up to have Imposter Syndrome.
Joe was had such good grades back in middle school, now he's just a burnt out gifted kid.
