built those as a kid. nothing to it.
 
the only problem w/ skipping a grade or two is you almost inherently end up slightly weird

you are younger than your peers, so macking girls/guys becomes harder. You likely also aren't playing sports unless large for your age, and clearly academics are likely a focus in the first place so you're also out that loop

i'm glad my dad 86'd the requested multiple grade skip for me out of Kindergarten (mom and stepdad were all for it) b/c i would've been substantially shorter than everyone else, couldn't play sports or would be a straight bum, would be awkward around the older women, etc...

and for what? to start paying bills early? sure, sign me up
 
What shows are you ladies watching

There was a 16yr old girl in my first year class and she was more mature than most of the male knuckleheads (me included). I have a friend who went to university at 14, his mother had to drive him to school. Funniest part is that he did his undergrad at one of the most highly recognized party schools.

he didn't play sports, did he?

if HS was only to educate, i'd completely understand doing that. Or even one grade really isn't that big of a deal

but multiple? probably easier for women than men, but then you still have older guys inherently hitting on them, can never drive in HS, etc...
edit: i guess i'm negating like cross country and maybe golf and other sports where size really isn't an issue

He has a very interesting life rich with experiences. Highly respected and very influential in US healthcare and biotech. Nice guy as well.

no doubt, i mean we all know the fictional Dougie Howser but IRL if you are skipping grades you are more intelligent than your peers and it follows you should ideally succeed in terms of profession or personal finances

At the same time, that same person would still experience growing up with their age group, experience more things t/o youth, and still achieve that same level of success in adulthood. Just a year or two/three older if they don't skip. Not like they won't still dominate their peers academically
I'm also holding Sports to be a pretty big factor in youth, that's a bias yes, but i think they are more important than people realize. Even if the person isn't that good, they can still learn to operate as part of a team, deal w/ adversity and overcoming, pressure, the agony and ecstasy of wins and losses, not be fat, etc...

Skipping a grade and being a well adjusted child aren't mutually exclusive

amen, brother.
but recently I'm noticing my mind seems older than my body.
how is that even possible?

Unfortunately it is possible.

I don't believe in supplements (unless they are on WADA's list) but you might try NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside). ChromaDex is aggressively pursuing real clinical trials with an aim to transition from a nutraceutical (pseudo-bullshit) company to a biotech.

I would never have my kids miss out on growing up but you have to understand that there are kids that just don't belong with kids their own age. I think my friend was one of them.

He's not into sports. He is an MD so he understands the importance of physical activity. He is in decent shape and exercises regularly.

Poor gut health is my guess. I would need to study his body further. I only saw him from a distance a few months ago.
