[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, most are 13 at some point during the year. Only summer kids are 12. [/quote]

Only summer kids are 12 for aall of seventh grade.  Unless there are an unusual number of red-shirted kids, kids with birthdays rright after the cut-off, &/or kids who have been held back in a class,the majority of seventh graders are still 12 in early November.

In any case, 12/13 is very young to be drinking & having sex but it is not unheard of nor is it some new phenomenon. Statistically speaking, it's actually less common than it was when most of us were that age.[/quote]

When school starts, almost all the kids are already 12. All kids, except for summer birthdays, will turn 13 while in 7th grade.  So, forsake of argument, we can agree that most 7th graders (sept-June school year) are 13. The same applies to KG. Most kids in KG turn 6 while in KG. This isn't hard to follow. Basic math. Doesn't matter the month, as above poster is referencing, just 7th grade which runs sep-June in VA.[/quote]

So currently right now in November, maybe 1/10 of 7th grades are actually 13.  Most are 12, and some are still 11. [/quote]
