here i am, an adult mind trapped inside a 16 yr olds body. i have little to no social skills, as i have spent too much time with my books and machines to learn much of that. my wisdom is well beyond my years, and my ability to show it. however, who listens to me? after all i'm not even 18 yet, i don't have social skills, and if you even comprehend my words by pen, you are quite injured by them. so who'll understand me? who'll respect me? who'll listen to every word i speak and take my jabbing intellect at core value? certainly not my peers, they think that the books are rotting my brains; perhaps they are. certainly not adults, after all who wants to be one upped by a kid? i have been forever doomed as such. one with exceedingly great knowledge and wisdom, but with no means of action.

i live in a family that has a negative income, and what do the laws state? i wish to try and make things better for my family using my great abilities, but law states? why does life have to deal you such bad hands? you can't make a strategy without any strategic card sets...

Slicer, you've changed quite a bit since you've first arrived, two things I can show you from just looking at your post are
1 - Your sig image is small so your not trying to showoff like a small child

2 - Your more courteous and open with others in this posts than the ones you did just 2 or 3 months ago

Now just enjoy not having to pay bills and go to work and stop being impatient and think of the oportunity you have now to refine your skills before you go to college and get that great paying job a few years from now, your only young once bud, relax and enjoy the ride. :)

I think that's why I smoke pot, it lets me fit in with the average person out there. :)

Slicer, I remember when you first came to the boards. Flat out, you were an attention-wanting little kid. Since then, however, you've matured a great deal. When I think of most regulars on this board (Isildur, ZDD, MB, etc) I don't think of people your age, or even people my age---I always see them as fully grown, mature adults. You are part of that group.
Having been in a similar situation earlier in my life, I can tell you these things.
Things do get better once you can get off to college and find people who are like you. As much as you migh say "There's nobody else like me in the world," you're essentially lying to yourself. Admittedly, living in your situation can't be fun, and is probably downright painful sometimes. But stick it out, do the best for yourself that you can, and you'll be much happier in the end.

"not my peers, they think that the books are rotting my brains"
Then they are not your peers. Peers are of equal or similar intellect and interests.

"certainly not adults, after all who wants to be one upped by a kid?"
A truly mature adult would honor the opportunity, as long as you don't do it in a "I'm better than you" way. I know I proved many adults wrong when I was your age, and as long as I was curteous about it (NOT completely so, though--make sure you let them know you're right) they never really had much of a problem with it.

I guess what I'm basically saying is this:
Stick it out--it really does get better. You will find other people like you, people who will respect you, everything.
And remember: As long as you understand what's going on around you, you can make a strategy.

Being social is more a thing of confidance. I reccomend giving it a shot, and I'm sure there are some other guys out there who you can hang with. Just don't be an attention "go-getter", people don't like guys that try too hard for it. Even then, if you still can't find any friends or people to talk to... use your skills to you advantage! Do somethin cool, program a game or an emulator, or a neat app... set yourself up for a great future right now and figure out what you want to do years before the pack.
