Eighth grade is about 13-14 and Ninth grade is about 14-15 where I live, not including the outliers who stayed back or something.

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

I laughed and I'm not even sorry, but I feel you because I always look OLDER than I am. Which is tough because the people I think are hot are five to ten years older than ME, and I look the part even though I'm not.

I don't know how that school system works, how old would you be to be in those grades?
1st= 7
2nd= 8
3rd= 9
4th= 10
5th= 11
6th= 12
7th= 13
8th= 14
9th= 15
10th= 16
11th= 17
12th= 18
You can also skip a grade if the school board permits due to academic success, and you can also be held back a maximum of three years.

Funny, I was a year younger than all of those.

It's kinda similar to us actually, except reception is for 4-5 year olds, year 1 is for 5-6 year olds and it goes all the way up to year 13 (very last year of school if you stay on at sixth form), which is for 17-18 year olds. But year 12 and year 13 students are sixth formers or college students and it never used to be compulsory to do those two years, I think it is now though.

I feel you Kabby, I was once about to enter to my volunteering class (teaching to 12 year olds), and some guys asked me: "oh, are you a student?" I was seventeen at the time. :'(

I also look/looked a lot younger than I am, and since this bothered me, I've let my beard grow out forever since. Now my family members complain that I look too old.
@Moy: That's rough, and I don't really think I'm in the position to offer love advice. What I do know is one should never really say someone's out of their league unless you're certain they are actually taken. What kind of motivation are you giving yourself, dude?
My day has pretty much been my ♥♥♥♥ sleep schedule, since I went to sleep right after I made that post and only just now woke up.

Yeah, people have always given me the impression that I look a couple years younger than I am. However, I'm not as fortunate as brando, as my redneck genes keep me from being able to grow much more than a neckbeard and pedostache. So I usually have to shave every few days.

Today was pretty cool, actually. For school I had a small presentation on contemporary art and music and I'm pretty certain that the whole class actually gave me their attention. A lot of the previous students had problems keeping their attention. I'm not sure if it's just because they know that I take those kinds of things seriously or because they were legitimately interested in what I had to say (I don't speak if I don't have to). The next two periods were simply review because I'm still in school until the 19th, and fourth period was Wind Ensemble where I got to hang out and just talk about normal stuff with my fellow senior instrumentalists all together. Usually, we're in different groups of friends, but the underclassmen had to practice our graduation music, so we basically get to do this for the rest of the year.
When I got home, I remembered that I didn't even have to worry about anything due for the next 4 days again because tomorrow is a school-day long presentation for seniors about drinking/drugs/texting and driving (because yes, some people are that dumb) and Monday is a day where traditionally, every senior skips. I know most of the teachers oblige with it; not sure about administration, heh.
Finally, the Marching Band Banquet. For those of you who didn't know, I was in a competitive marching band for my entire high school career. Tonight was my last banquet, and probably the last time I'll see this exact group of people that I got to know over about 5 months last year, and more for those of us that joined concert band.
It took awhile to get started, but I found my circle pretty quickly and we started talking about what we usually do. As soon as the actual ceremonies began, my focus was locked.
There was a round of thanks and applause for everyone in the organization, an awards/scholarship ceremony for several band members, and a video presentation reflecting on the past year, and for the seniors, their past few years as a member.
Throughout the whole thing, I felt a little melancholy; I didn't get any awards and didn't have as many cuts in the video as some of my friends. I try not to care, but I guess everyone has a bit of selfishness and bitterness. I did think a lot about what I could have done differently over the years; maybe I could have asked about joining in middle school, maybe I could have tried out for drum major(student conductor), maybe I could have joined other performing arts groups like a lot of my friends ended up doing.
We heard our marching band show near the end of the video and that lightened my mood a bit, actually. It sounded a lot worse than I remembered it sounding earlier in the school year, when we were performing it. I heard others point it out as well, and I guess that's a testament to how much we've grown since that season. A lot of my friends ended up taking music-related classes, and again, other performing arts groups (chorus, drama, winterguard, etc.), plus our director gave us a harder selection of music for both of our concerts; I think it helped hone our musical senses a lot, even if a lot of us still don't know a lot of the terminology and vernacular of music(or just choose not to bother learning them).
We definitely don't just suck at marching and playing, because our performance at Disney World a few weeks ago was exceptional.
... I tend to be contemplative. Sorry if I rambled a bit.
