[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many studies out there saying that kids who are redshirted generally turn out happier and more successful, such as this one. https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/academic-redshirting/ [/quote] This is exactly why I wish I hadn't been redshirted. It's put pressure on me to try to succeed, and if I'm not successful in life, it'll seem like I messed up. I would've happy with a modest lifestyle, but since I was redshirted, great things are expected of me, and it doesn't feel good to have that kind of pressure on you.[/quote] Seriously, you attribute all that to being redshirted? There are a million ways that parents can pressure their children to succeed, but that certainly seems like the least of it. If they'd pushed you into school early I guess you would've felt pressure from that. When you enroll in school has little to do with what your parents' expectations are.[/quote]
