[quote=Anonymous]I am a very extraverted adult with a good number of close friends. We moved from the UK to the the US the summer I turned 12. My parents put me in 7th grade - which was the right grade, as in I made the cut-off, but I was one of the youngest kids. I think this was a bad decision. Academically it was a big adjustment - cultural and curricular differences. Socially it was huge. Being younger and less mature intensified it. I am so glad my kids don't have birthdays near the cut-off so we didn't have to make those decisions. Everything worked out fine for me, but my early adolesence was really awful. I would never judge someone for red-shirting their kid. [/quote]
