[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but I think boys are at a real disadvantage if they have summer bdays and their parents start on time. Every example I've seen has been awful... Including my older brother (August bday), my husband (September bday) , and multiple friends' boys (all summer and September bdays) . Every single one of them, without fail, says it was a mistake but to redshirt. Starting these immature kids in today's kindergarten is a recipe for adhd meds, anxiety, and social issues. Maybe you have the exceptional boy, if so, great. [/quote]

Oh GMAFB!

I'm male, have an October birthday, started K at 4 years old, college at 17 and don't experience any of the pathologies you've listed.[/quote]
Cool story, bro. [/quote]

One anecdote deserves another.[/quote] Yeah, your anecdote about how your mommy started you a year earlier than necessary so you could academically gun it and hand as many Chem classes as possible sure proves a point. I'm sure your social life was rich and you were incredibly well rounded with a parent like that. Ah, yes. [/quote]
