This could not be further from the truth. I myself was 12 years old and in high school, yet I made countless friends, participated in school activities, and at the same time took the most rigorous classes available and excelled at them.



Yup I’m sure you were getting all the girls, hitting up the parties, playing varsity sports, etc.

I mean, if what you listed makes you happy, then good for you. But for most people I think they require a little more, at least when they’re of average high school age. I was about your age when I started high school and I can’t say that I was doing all the things I listed above. I had many friends, did great in school, joined a few clubs, but that doesn’t mean that I was satisfied or as satisfied as I would have been had I began high school at the same age as everyone else.
