Child prodigy, it sucks.?

Since i was 5 years old i have dedicated all my time to basketball. I have had personal coaches paid by my parents %26amp; have won at the national level at many ages. My high school team won state championship last year. I am ranked at the top 50 at the highschool level even though i am a freshman, %26amp; am considered a child prodigy since the age of 12. The problem is that people feel intimidated by my presence %26amp; i dont know what to do. My only friends are some of my teammates Whenever i walk into a room, like the cafeteria, people stare at me. I started taking mixed martial arts 1 year ago because Older guys than me always want to start fights %26amp; try to beat me up. As a result I have been suspended from my schools 3 times. The principle told me if it happens again, i will be expelled from the school. I dont know why they pick on me so much. It's not like i am short or cocky, cocky maybe a little but not that i go telling people that i am better so i dont see what is the prob what should i do??

OK you will face a lot of problems like this your whole life. What your suppose to do is just be yourself. Don't let them change you. Expecially in the big leagues you will have to deal with certain thing like this,or worse. You just stay true to yourself, but being cocky is just another sign of insecurity. Try to watch what you say sometimes to certain people. Its ok everyone seems to have a certain cockyness in them so don't feel bad about it lol. Don't go looking for revenge on these people either, because one day you will be better than them. They are just haters lol. But if they try to fight just tell the principal whats up he/or she can help. If not then just learn to ignore there comments.
Reply:Ha. Thats a funny story. If you really wanted an answer to this you could have said "People are jealous of me, so they beat me up. What should I do?" Instead you had to make up a gay story trying to impress people. You would have just asked your parents or somebody anyways you jackass. Report It

Reply:I don't believe you.
Reply:Regardless of the 'prodigy' status, after the first incident you should have brought it to the attention of both your parents and the principal and explained the problem. If the fights continued, you should, again bring it to their attention. If the principal is suspending you, then he believes you are somehow involved or at fault. At this point, you're at the 3 strike limit.





So, you should get to class early and leave school late (later than the older guys who want to pick fights). Find something to do after school, when not practicing, that keeps you away from these older guys. There's got to be something you can do to avoid them. Also, don't hang around where you know you might run into them.





Keep telling yourself that once you get out of High School, none of what's going on now will matter (other than your grades). So, focus on getting higher grades. If you happen to make it to the NBA and actually make lots of cash as a star player, great. If not, you will need the grades so you can go to college and get a degree; ultimately, so you can get a good paying job if the NBA doesn't pan out.
