Abstract
Research data from sixty adolescents identified as gifted students in secondary schools provided insights into their educational, emotional and social development. Both females and males were highly sensitive to societal pressures. External influences of adults were perceived more strongly by females, while influences of friends and peers were perceived more strongly by males. Case studies of one female and one male show sex differences representative of the total group of respondents.Keywords
