Have you ever skipped a grade or been held back? Surprising that the topic hasn't been made before - I searched.
I skipped grade two, I think it was; something easy. Yeah, that makes me a young junior.

i was CLOSE to skipping 1st grade. they were really highly considering it. then we moved here, and we looked around and all the kids were way bigger than me - even the ones in my grade. and they were all older too. i'm young and have a late birthday for MY grade, so they figured it'd be really weird if they moved me up. now i'm taller than some of the people in my grade...still young though. some people in my grade are turning 16 this summer, and i JUST turned 15.

No, I'm in 10th. I'd be glad to skip 11th and 12th though.

QUOTE Some people think I did. In my grade, everyone is older than me. I think I just got lucky. If I were born a couple days later, I would be in a grade younger than me right now. ^I knew someone who missed the date by 3 hours. So they had to be in a lower grade. |

My birthday is at the very end of July, and I'll be fourteen then, but basically all of the people in my grade are already fourteen or even fifteen, so if I did skip a grade or two like I could have, I would be really young. |

I've never skipped or been held back. I don't think I'd want to skip because you're not with people your age. I take honors classes with people that are juniors and seniors and that's still kind of weird.

Yes. My parents skipped me from fifth grade, because we were moving to the United States then, and they are one grade early than me. So, yeah.

Nope. But in 2nd grade, I was one of the smartest student in my class. I had to take those special classes for smarter students.
 But it wasn't enough for me to skip a grade.
