That is me too!! When I got to high school here in MD, I was quickly labeled "The know it all". Mind you, this was the ACADEMIC magnet for the county.

After a while, I just didnt even care. Teachers pulled me aside and told me to stop answering questions b/c they already knew that I had the answers. After a while I just stopped talking PERIOD.

It's amazing how this stuff STAYS with you for so long.
Sniff, this is why I love GC.. lol.
