I feel like there's a lot of stigma associated with being average. Not to have a boomer take, but I think that telling kids they were gifted and talented because they read more chapter books than their peers was a mistake. Whenever the topic of "gifted kids" maybe not being so gifted comes up, these former accelerated readers get extremely defensive about it. They are usually upset that they used to be special, and now they're just normal and blame gifted and talented programs for building up their egos. To the former gifted kids who are upset about no longer being above average, I have one thing to say: You're 28.
Realistically, you and I are probably pretty average, and that's okay! Admitting your place in the middle of the bell curve takes off a lot of pressure to be better than everyone else and allows you to lighten up a little bit. If you're a normie and proud, you'll love the following average memes.
