[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This troll is probably the wounded redshirted poster who pops up to say his parents' decision to hold him back a year warped him for life.[/quote]

It's put heavy expectations on me.

If I don't meet the expectations discussed in articles like these, I'll seem like a failure, like I messed up. I would've been perfectly happy with a modest career and a modest lifestyle, but because I was redshirted, great things are expected of me. Why should I want that kind of pressure?[/quote]

I say this with all compassion: get yourself some counseling. Your life’s woes are not because you were redshirted. if your parents have unrealistic expectations, they would have had them whether you were redshirted or not. [/quote]

It's not my parents who have these expectations. It's nature, as well as most objective outsiders, such as the people who conducted the studies I linked.

Out in the real world, literally nobody cares what year you started school. No one. [/quote]
