Like anything that is different, he was probably marveled and treated differently by both his peers and his family. Firstly, which peer group would he even belong in??? His group was ever changing and grew rapidly because of how quickly his mind developed (or rather his ability to understand/retain information). Although it must have been great for the most part, I am sure there was a handful of peers who tried to make him out as a bad guy because he was a prodigy (jealousy is a sin). 
His family probably knew better than to treat him differently but I'm sure they gave him all sorts of special treatment....So in the end, although I have a strong dislike for such a waste of resources, I can understand why he'd want to take his own life. We, humans, are social creatures and if we can't be "normal" or follow some type of normality in society then we feel like outcasts. Brandenn probably felt that no one; not peers or family, would be able to understand how he feels, that he didn't want to burden them with his thoughts, or maybe even that he could be afraid that he's selfish for wanting to be like everyone else. 
Personally...I could understand it. I have always thought that suicide is selfish and wasteful but in this one instance, I would do exactly what Brandenn did.]]> 2017-04-26 01:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/prodigy/wish/168264028 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/prodigy/wish/168265478 2017-04-26 02:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/prodigy/wish/168265478 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/prodigy/wish/168265536 If a prodigy was a product of nurture we would arguably have a lot more than the few we do have. I'd theorize, since it's rare, that it's more a mutation-an evolution (not like the x-men)of sorts that creates such a person.
