I was lucky in that my high school had a program that wasn’t a totally miserable waste of my time, but even in there most of the vaguely ambitious kids become ambitious kids at different times, get lonely, and fizzle out.
Primates need friends.
Would anyone be interested in a weekly or biweekly Google+ hangout? I’d set one up if like, 3 people felt like joining.
Edit:
So we’re doing this. Any preferences on days?
Google + has refused my attempt to get an account, because I am too young. Is the age limit 18? Do I need to get another account (and lie about my age) or is there a way to change my age in their system?
If these are resolved, count me in for weekly meetups.
It’s probably safest to get a separate account and lie about your age, since there are scare-stories going around about people having all Google services blocked, because their age contradicted Google+ policy (while Google+ account creation with too-young age was still possible!).
This.

Count me in. That makes 3.
Huh. That’s weird.
You can definitely lie about your age, but I’m not finding any obvious age-changing features.
