[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]

:shock: Is that what you took from all of this?  As I said it is not impactful to my kid to be younger but YMMV. He does not care if he cannot drive or have a beer.  He is fine. Thank you for your faux concern or whatever you were spewing. Yes, life sucked for you.  Sorry. You are not my kid and I cannot take the burden of what went wrong with your life. [/quote]

Most kids aren't waiting till 21 to have a beer, lets be real.  Saying you should hold your kid back so they can drive first makes absolutely no sense.

If that poster dropped out of college due to anxiety, it has nothing to do with age, it has to do with a mental health issue that regardless of age needed to be treated.  If anything where were the parents noticing their child had anxiety and helping them get it treated.  Being older doesn't stop these issues.[/quote]
