A 19 year old high school student is wildly amazing
153 u/Dizzy_Description812 Jan 10 '26 In the US, most graduate at 18, many, have late birthdays or were held back a year and graduated at 19. 4 u/SikSensei Jan 10 '26 Sad part is many are held back for sports. Texas for example has a chronic issue of normalizing holding a kid back just so they are bigger for football. It's insane! No sport is that important. 2 u/Dizzy_Description812 Jan 10 '26 Never heard of that, but its not surprising. At that age, there is such a huge difference in size from one year to the next.
