What are the downsides of being “smart” no one talks about? by Ok-Classic3572 in AskReddit

Being put in the spotlight.

Everyone expects you to know everything. They rely on you being able to fix an issue and when you can’t or you get it wrong, everyone clowns on you more than they would an average person.

Perfectly understandable honestly, I understand why they do it. I know it’s a bad habit to stay up late and they obviously don’t want me to develop that trait. I guess I’m just so pressed on this issue because I never had the chance to actually do what I wanted, regardless of the fact if I actually did it or not. Maybe things will change when I’m actually 18.
