This Is F***ing Stressing Me Out…

Take the offer. 1 grade won’t hinder your friendship tremendously. You can still be friends with them outside of school (if not in school). As long as you don’t isolate yourself from those friends, you should be ok, while also getting the academic benefits. Your relationship with your friends is in your control. On the other hand, this is a 1 time opportunity; you may have many different friends throughout your lifetime. It’s not everyday you get the choice to skip a grade.

Each chapter of your life has different friends, and they rarely come with. Maybe this one is reaching its end.
I would take the offer, better to move faster than others than waste time being told things you already know. I didn't learn anything until fifth grade. I was able to do algebra while the other kids were learning addition, and the reading and counting classes bored me out of my mind, but they just left me where I was and didn't take me out of the system.

However, be careful in social interactions. One mistake, or even just being manipulated, could haunt you for a while.

If you're really attached to your friends, though, just remember things change. I've been to five different schools in nine years, and the old friends make way for new ones. The more you reset, the more you know what you want out of a friendship, and the closer you get with new friends.

Nothing in life happens for a reason, it's a messed up game of randomized pain. If you get an opportunity, seize it. Not many people can. Better to leave some people behind than back down from greatness.

If I had had better options, I could've taken college math as a high school freshman, maybe even before that, but I'm only doing it as a sophomore in two months. You might get a chance like that, go for it.

Friendship is more important.

I'd stay with my friends if I was in your shoes

I'd take the offer.
My best friends are several years ahead of me, and that doesn't affect our friendship at all.
But think about it this way.
On one hand, you get less school, but less time with your friends in school, but you still have the outside of school stuff.
On the other hand, you could get more time with your friends in school, but also more time in school.
It's your choice

back down

Less school

Plus you can hang our with them at lunch and met up outside of school

I can only hangout with one of my friends and I am not too close to them

Oh

I like school.

Same

that’s tough, idrk

If they're really your friends they'll find a way.

At the same time though, what are your goals for your future?

If you're not planning on going into college skipping a grade won't really be impressive anywhere else.

Unless you just really want to get out sooner.

How often do you see your friends outside of school and what are your life goals right now?

I see one of my friends outside of school every once in a while, we aren't that close anymore, but the other who I'm really close with...We don't have each other's number or address so we haven't been able to talk outside of school.

Sounds like you're not super close to them already. Maybe this opportunity would allow you to make some new friends too. Maybe ones that are more on your level intellectually or share similar educational interests.

Think about it. Skipping two grades in school would give you more challenging work. This way you don't have to be bored in class all day and have something to do. Also les school and less stress. You could probably still be friends with your friends outside of school or even in school depending on your grade. Also I think skipping two grades because your smart would look good on college applications. Another thing is that you can still make new friends. I understand that can be hard but I think getting out of your comfort zone will be best. Especially since you said you only had the two friends. I understand everyone has only some good friends but I personally think it's best to have more then two friends even if not all of them are close with you.

Skipping one grade** I messed up the numbers when I wrote this

I would not leve your friends, but if u want to get into college faster? Idk it’s up to u, all I half to say is keep your friends close

I like school, but I don’t want to be bored because for me it’s all “been there, done that”. Teach me something new damnit!

Well maybe you can learn some new things outside of school?

Or skip the grade, and just like be sure to hang out with your friends a lot

stay with friends i think
