Oooh, I read that. Really, really interesting. I think I've experienced some of that myself, actually. I was always one of those kids who got told they were smart, all the time.

Mostly I believe people, but I'm incredibly paranoid about failing in public view, and that statement about 'would consider cheating'? Totally me in high school.
