When we were in middle school, there was a guy like that (don't tell nobody, but he was actually my first kiss when I was in 6th grade
). He said he had been kept back like 2-3 times, and he also "started school late"
. The sad thing is that he was there when i got to that school, and when I was leaving 8th grade, he was JUST leaving too! He had his liscense and everything...he used to drive to school. I'll be DAMNED if I have a 16-year old 8th grader and I allow him to get his liscense...sheee, that's a privilege!
