no, just form good habits and know how to take you time and follow schedules also knowing how to “code” at 14 isn’t gifted its just a hobby at that age unless you’re making money or making projects that you document to show off to colleges.

gifted is a loaded term. It can just mean your parents read to you more, or it means you understand concepts before your typical age group does outside of the bell curve of development

it can also be code for ways of racial segregation in public education by having magnet, gift schools, or charter schools with tax payer money.

so just chill be a kid, be empathetic, don’t be a dick, and understand you have to jump through hoops because public education isn’t there to help you if you are “gifted” and have a learning disability, especially if you are an ethnic group that is darker than sand with a tan.
