Congratulations, you got average grades in school and your parents thought you were a genius.

>excel in school to the extent that you never have to study or work hard at anything
>become exceptionally lazy and never learn how to work hard at or finish things
>become completely inept as an adult and unable to actually do anything practical with your intelligence
many such cases. being heaped with praise for being "such a super smart kid" at a young age and allowed to stagnate instead of being put into intensely difficult advanced coursework is one of the biggest mistakes of the US education system.
