Relating to adults (Score 1)

How well do you relate to teenagers vs. adults?

I was placed in advanced/gifted classes from the 2nd grade to high-school, so I was always expected to communicate in an "adult" manner. I talked almost exclusively to adults and like-minded kids for years. Even my Karate class was with mostly older teenagers and adults. When I was with normal people my age, it was hard to find common ground to talk about. I feel one of the reasons many geeks drink and use drugs is to turn off their inhibitions and communicate on a more normal level. Cause when you're drunk, you don't speak so smartly.
