Concerning having a boy who is one of the oldest in his class, I can tell you, it doesn't matter -- my sons peers/friends are not quite as old as he is (he's 18, they are 17) but they all hang out together and do the exact same things. Being a few months older than your peers doesn't put you at a different maturity level! [b]However, my DS can now get into a lot more trouble than his friends if they do something illegal, simply because he IS considered an adult, while his friends are still considered juveniles. [/b]And what PP said about hanging out with kids from different grades is entirely true. One of my youngest's best friends is two grades above him.

This is an issue that I considered quite a bit.  I feel like my DS is a bit of a 'follower'.  And, I could totally see this happening, where he is 17 and has his driver's license, but his 16 yo friends do not.  And, getting egged on by his younger friends and ending up in trouble!

This might not be a concern if your kid is more of a 'leader'![/quote]
