&gt; Are you sure?<p>Well, of course, all of us deal with pride and so part of my motivation to type up the story is that I&#x27;m proud of what I&#x27;ve accomplished, yeah.<p>&gt; Being a smart fellow, you must know that your experience is not evidence that this young man was not &quot;pushed&quot; too much and that he will &quot;be fine.&quot;<p>Of course my experience is not evidence of someone else&#x27;s experience.  However, I have experience being homeschooled, and entering college early, so I think I have a degree of ability to relate to Ahaan Rungta&#x27;s situation that others in this thread do not.  I think my contribution to the thread is to provide a counter-point to those who were decrying his parents for pushing him too hard, or depriving him of a childhood, which can only be provided by personal experience.<p>Additionally, I think my story demonstrates the variability of how children, within the same family, respond to environmental and parental stimuli.  My sisters were fine starting school early, I wasn&#x27;t so much, and if I would have lived at home during my first year of college, instead of in a dorm four hours away, it would have been different.
