[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing will satisfy the anti redshirters here.  :roll: [/quote]

I actually really like the anti-redshirters, because it means they would have sympathy for me if they knew I was redshirted. All these years later, my parents still think they acted for the best, whereas I still resent them for not sending me on time.[/quote]

Did your parents ever explain why they didn't think you'd be able to handle school like every other kid?[/quote]

They didn't want me to be among the youngest, which was ridiculous seeing as how my birthday's in September and the cutoff was the new year. This means that at-least a quarter of my classmates would have been younger than me, as there were more than 3 months between my birthday and the cut-off. [/quote]

But that doesn't really answer the question of why. Did your parents struggle through school?

And did their lack of belief in you manifest in other ways too? (e.g. not letting you venture out independently, wanting to "help" with things like your college applications, etc?)[/quote]
