William James Sides (born 1898, in the United States) is the only son of Boris Sides and Sarah Mandelbaum Sidis. William's father was a Ukrainian-Jewish Doctor of Medicine, and his mother was a graduate of Boston University School of Medicine.

With parents who were both intellectual elites, William James Sides inherited his intelligence and grew up in specialeducational conditions. He soon revealed his language ability when he was less than 1 year old. William could say the word "aluminum" fluently. At 18 months old, this boy could read, read magazines and newspapers. One of Willian's favorite magazines at that time was The New York Times.

Seeing that William was exceptionally intelligent and had the ability to absorb knowledge faster than his peers, Boris and his wife asked him to stop studying. At this time, Boris began researching new preschool education theories, then applied them to the process of raising his son. Thanks to his father's help and close supervision, William's intelligence and language ability became even more outstanding.

When he was only 2 years old, William began learning Latin and Greek. At the age of 4, he was able to use these two "difficult" languages ​​fluently to look up information. At the age of 6, William was exposed to specialized subjects related to linguistics and anatomy by his father. He also had a special interest in logic.

One of William Sides' first and most impressive achievements was being admitted to Harvard Medical School at the age of seven. However, because he was too young, William was denied admission.

Not stopping there, Dr. Boris Sides' son continues to practice to improve his knowledge. William can speak 8 different languages, including: Latin, Greek, French, Russian, Hebrew, Turkish and a new language he created himself.

By the age of 11, William Sides was officially admitted to Harvard University. During his studies, he was loved and admired by many people. Harvard professors were extremely surprised by William's outstanding intelligence. He also easily passed the rigorous entrance exam of MIT.

At the age of 17, William completed his undergraduate degree at Harvard with honors. He was then invited by the school to teach Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and trigonometry. During his four years as a lecturer, William always completed his duties with excellence. He also conducted many scientific researches and contributed many achievements to the school.

As an adult, William is said to have an outstanding IQ, between 250 and 300. In addition, he can also use 25 different languages. It was thought that William would have a successful and happy life.

However, at the age of 21, a storm came and changed his entire journey.

As an adult, William was still under the strict supervision and control of his father. His entire education was decided by him. This caused Willian to suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Over time, the disease caused his psychology to collapse, gradually revealing rebellious behavior.

Not wanting to pursue a PhD as his father wanted, William decided to switch to studying Law at Harvard Law School. Just a few months before graduating from Law, William was arrested for participating in a protest. To "suppress" William, his parents decided to send their son to a mental hospital. They hoped that he would come to his senses and change his outlook on life.

By the age of 23, William had officially escaped the control and excessive interference of his father. However, the incident at the age of 21 caused the "child prodigy" to lose his purpose in life. William did not continue to pursue his education. He lived a normal life, doing manual labor to make a living. At the age of 46, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

William James Sides is one of the young talents who suffered a tragic fate despite his extraordinary talent. Many people believe that the tragic end of this "child prodigy" boy came from his father's conservative way of raising his children. Parents who are too restrictive and controlling will make their children feel suffocated and oppressed, which can have a negative impact on their psychology over time.
