Also don't fail the class, but you shouldn't need a 13 year old to motivate you to pass your college courses, right? | ||

I personally think that going to college at 13 is a terrible idea. You completely miss out on your childhood and all the badass things you get to do as a kid. I'm sure he has friends his own age but he doesn't really get to go to class with them at all. All the articles I've read before about kids graduating college early really don't go on to do anything 'that special'. All I was saying was just because you are smart at a young age does not mean you are more intelligent at an older age. Well and i was here thinking that getting a phd at 24 and then following it by getting a Nobel, was something rather special. And to the OP, maybe you could learn something from the kid? Like, he doesnt seem to be such a bad project or study partner? | ||

I think it's interesting that a 13 y/o is in your uni class but it shouldn't really affect you at all. If you do fail and he passes i dont even see the big deal because he's obviously some kind of prodigy and studies alot ^^ | ||

I was fucking scared of all the older kids, who were like twice my age.My advice to you would be to just ignore him and try your best. Don't be too competitive, and aim for a goal that you can reach. Don't let the kid make you feel stupid, even if he does better than you. I also agree that going to college that early is a terrible idea. Being from a typical Asian family, i basically got pushed to skip grades and start college early. Once I got into college, I realized that I never got to enjoy my childhood, so I took a year off to get a job...and play Starcraft. I had sorta the opposite experience. I always felt really bored in school, and wanted to skip some grades. But my parents (who are white) were like "don't stress yourself too much, we want you to enjoy your childhood". So I was just really lazy as a kid. | ||
