Sounds like you want to drive our country into the ground. The one distinct advantage the US has is that even though you may be a "late bloomer", your entire future is not decided the moment you turn twelve. If my future had been decided by the time I was in junior high, I'd be a hell of a lot worse off than I am now. I went from a basically mediocre performance in high school (possibly due more to social issues than intelligence), to obtaining a PhD in mathematics. I'm definitely not saying that having this degree means I'm smarter than those who don't have such a degree, but it does show that, in my case at least, my parents were right not to give up on being "110% supporting" of me (Oh, but how I frustrated them when I was young!) In closing, let me just say fuck you, and fuck what you said.
