...I don't like when kids skip grades because they are missing out on what makes school good for development... interaction.

I skipped 11th grade to get out of High School faster, and because it would have been pointless to go the final year when I would have no real classes, I graduated High School when I was 16.
I developed and interacted more when I got into college.
Now, I have my Associates at 18 and will be moving out this August to UH and learn Architecture. I think if I didn't do what I did (early Graduation from High School), I wouldn't be as well off as I am now. I am now a joke book illustrator on the side of being a full time student. I am finally in good standing with my parents now; we talk and they can trust me, which is unlike how we were to eachother when I was in High School. I learned to communicate with people better, which was a good learning experience for me because I have always been quiet. And being quiet makes a lot of people assume negative things about you, like doing drugs or being a bitch, when I was simply just being quiet. That was who I was. Without college, I would have ended up like all the people I knew back in high school. Either in jail or rotting my brain and body, and that's definately not how I wanted or want to live my life.
By the way Aron, I like the new layout for the site.
