[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of the youngest in my class. I had no issues. My classmates were just that. The only time age came up was when people were getting their drivers licenses many many many years later. It's a big deal because you make it a big deal. [/quote]

Yes, driving, and also dating is where it can be a big deal.  I have two friends who have sons that were redshirted.  One boy was 15 in the 8th grade and the other turned 16 during 8th grade.  If you don't think that causes issues related to crushes, you're crazy.  Especially with the one who turned 16.  He's an 18 year old junior right now about to turn 19.  Next year he'll be 20 during his senior year.  Very few parents are fine with their daughters dating someone that much older.  It's one of the things my friend complains to me the most about because she always wanted my DD to set him with up a friend of hers.      [/quote]

Lol I actually had typed a response on this topic but deleted because I thought no one would care  :lol:  But my bday is end of Sept and my town had an Oct cut off and I went on time. I really thought my parents sent me on time and never looked back and didn’t hem and haw about it, like I did, with my own young for the grade son (who I sent on time). That is for the most part true except I recently asked my mom about it and she said she never worried about it except when she said she had some worry at one point about all these boys being so much bigger than me in middle school. I always liked older boys, so this was not a concern for me  :lol: when I was a sophomore, I turned 15 that fall. My boyfriend was a junior, who just missed the cut off so he was 17 that Oct. (and had his license - in NJ you have to be 17 to get your license). He just drove me around for the rest of HS!  Totally fine with me, lol. Not sure about my parents’ feelings.  :lol: [/quote]
