[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 12/28 and wish my parents had held me back. I was so late getting my license and so young starting college. In addition I was always the small one. My parents have always regretted it even though I was academically advanced.[/quote] You may have experienced different challenges if they had held you back, especially if you were academically advanced. You may have been unchallenged and bored, and never had the chance to develop good study skills, for example. You may have developed ahead of your peers during puberty, if you were older, and felt out of place. Etc.[/quote] Think of it this way - by not being held back you essentially got an "extra" year in your twenties and an extra year between college and when your biological clock starting ticking. That is one reason why I would have a higher bar for red shirting a girl than a boy. (but I would have a high bar for red shirting in general)[/quote]
