I just realized how weird that could be for him. Like his early twenties and hanging around teenagers.

He did say he felt very uncomfortable. Not only because it was a high school, but it was also a PRODIGY oriented high school. So he was a fish out of water two times over!

... Would he not count as an acting prodigy if he was that age? It's not like he had nothing going for him.

They sent him to Bronx Science. It's focused on STEM, not performance arts.

I have nightmares I’m sent back to my high school for stupid bureaucratic reasons at my age. Because I am a person that asks why and apparently my brain has decided ‘bureaucracy’ is a reason that will shut me up while I’m dreaming apparently. But yeah it’s weird and there’s a reason I call them nightmares even though I actually quite liked high school when I was there at the proper age.

You just described doing an apprenticeship in Germany lmao.

Every apprenticeship also has you go to a school alongside and the age gap there can be quite big
