My HS experience was interesting. I went to and "gifted" elementary school, so when I went to high school I was a sophmore academically. For three years I took classes with the students a year ahead of me. When they graduated, I was "housed" with my class, but tutored one-on-one in college prep courses.
The unfortunate thing about all of this is that I was already at least a year younger than my class (started HS at 12) and thus at least two years younger than the ones I had class with. My maturity level was definitely not on par and it affected me emotionally. I did not want to be the ultra smart TK (yes my Mom was the head of the math department at my HS.) So I did my fair share of acting out academically--skipping classes, not studying, etc.
