Negative points in being a child prodigy? I'm not one, but I know one negative point.. High expectations. People tend to expect too much from child prodigies, imo.

the social isolation is a big disadvantage. nobody on campus would want to hang out with a 14-year-old, unless it was out of sympathy.
