[b]Detrimental in some ways?[/b]
- a lot of prestigious opportunities and internships in HS have a strict age-limit and he is always younger by a couple months.

Not really impactful for a kid who is a focussed student and  not a wild party animal. YMMV. -
- his driver's license came a few months later than most of his peers 
- [b]he will probably be a few months younger than his peers before he can have his first legal beer.[/b]

Well, if he drops out of college due to anxiety like I did, comes back later, and finishes later, he won't have to experience that "detriment", now will he? Is that you he would rather have happen to him? I know that I would've much rather been the last of my classmates to turn 21 if it meant I could've had a straight clean path, as opposed to the crooked messy path I had; a path that being the first of my classmates to turn 21 wasn't worth.[/quote]

Most people I know wouldn't have been able to afford that "crooked messy path". If they had dropped out of college, it would've been next to impossible for them to return. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself for dropping out, you should be feeling grateful that you had the means to go back.[/quote]
