I mean, it was probably the worst for their boss lol

Reminds me of something out of HBO's Industry

Nah, still going. No way I'm suffering through a British summer. Idc what I have to pay, I'm going.

I say you should do it. You always hear about young Brits moving over to Australia and having a great time. It's a beautiful country too.

you're missing out on being disgusted!

This always sent my dad into a stress-ridden spiral lol. The most common sense way is for dad to take daughter into the men's toilets. It's totally normal and no one will react. But my dad use to get so worked up about this that he'd start to recruit other women to take me into the women's.

Two words. Skiing holidays.

This would be completely alarming to 99.9% of people

I'm a late June baby and was held back, but not for academic reasons. I'd say there are pros and cons to both. First of all, since I was the oldest, lots of kids would ask me why I was in their year. Some kids even assumed and asked if I was dumb. I was sometimes made to feel "other". Kids would jokingly call me old, etc. I remember even a teacher saying well since you're the oldest, you must have more wisdom than the other kids (who says this to a 14-year-old?)This was not all the time by the way and I did have friends. It's just something I could brush off my shoulder and it wasn't bullying or anything like that. But I am saying, this sort of stuff does come up. On the other hand, if you do put your kid in the right year, she will be a lot younger than everyone else. She will be completing her GCSEs at 15, completing A Levels at 17, and leaving to university (if no gap year) at barely 18. I am grateful that I was completing these challenging things at the age I was at as it allowed me more time to mature. Overall, I'm glad I was held back a year because I got to make the friends I have anddd it didn't affect my adult life whatsoever lol. I've also witnessed the younger kids of the year hanging with the kids in the year below. I really don't think it matters too much.
