Intelligence and genetics? I feel like I'm destined to be a loser…?
Here it goes… My parents are far from the brightest people in the world. My "father" left high school before he’d even finished 9th grade (claiming that he was dyslexic), and my mother left at the end of the 10th grade. Unfortunately, since neither of them even got close to completing their secondary education, they’ve both had low paying jobs ever since. Cleaning houses was my mother’s fantastic career, and my father followed the path of the cement pouring, brick laying landscaper.
I don’t care if it sounds horrible, but I’m so ashamed to have been born to people who do hardly anything to contribute to society. Even my brilliant sister only reached the 10th grade, before dropping out to clean toilets at the local high school. I just don’t know what to do; whenever I think about my friends at school, I realise they’ve grown up around intelligent people who have helped enrich their education and I’ve been raised around losers. They’ve got parents who are doctors, lawyers, nurses and engineers… Siblings who are studying for great careers in uni…And then there’s my family.
I just always realise how effortless things are for them at school! They’re just so intelligent, and catch onto concepts so much easier. I really do envy them and the bright people they’ve got for parents. I fear every single day that I’m going to become the next person in the family line to be on my knees scrubbing toilets.
So, is intelligence really determined by genetics? Because if it is, I truly am ruined.
Come on, you are coming across as very defeatist. There are many things that affect your success in life. Just because those around you aren”t where you’d like to be doesn’t mean you should slate them or assume defeat. If you believe you will fail you are sure to do just that.
Believe it or not, many of those at your school probably do Not find it effortless. Some maybe do but that’s a minority. Most of us have to work hard to get good grades! My mother was a music teacher and my father a quantity surveyor, and I always have had to work hard for my grades. I am doing a uni degree now and yes it’s hard work! If it was easy there would be no value in the qualification.
If you truly want to do well you can do it. It may be harder for you than for some, but believe me it will be harder for many than it is for you. Millions of people the world over don’t get the chance to go to school At All.
Best of luck to you

Just because the people in your family never got anywhere doesn’t mean you can’t. Remember you and you alone have the potential to be something if you really try. Graduating is easy (well for me at least, school was kind of a joke to me). Just have faith in youself, is there anyone telling you that you can’t finish school? Probably not. Just study hard and believe in youself and don’t let anything get you down. Good luck.
P.S I’m not sure about intelligence bieng genetic but it sounds like your parents and sister are just lazy.

Sometimes we feel that we are destined to be losers. But if we struggle to be the opposite we will.
you realise that some people have grown up around intelligent people who have helped enrich their education and you have been raised around losers. They’ve got parents who are doctors, lawyers, nurses and engineers… you said this, I agree this is true but this is diffiinitly due to some learning these people take from their parents or some observations from their behavior. Now I can say to you if you stick exactly to what your parents do and believe, you will be like them exactly. But if you refine their behavior and accept what you believe that it is true and do what is true then you will win. And this is the only way to become great.

i don’t believe so. but you surely have many of their (limiting) beliefs/mindset. i have had exactly the same experience. like my parents couldn’t help me with maths homework when i was 10, it was too difficult for them. try being around successful people and adopt their ways of thinking.

Yes, most of your intelligence is inherited by your parents. Therefore it is genetic. There are people who are born more intelligent than others that learn faster, easily remember more information and more than others etcetera. You are born with the mental abilities you have, and that is also genetically predetermined. IQ is also genetic, you are born with what you have and it never (unless your brain is brain damaged) changes.
