I tell you, it's a terrible thing to be held back in school. When I was in school, I used to be an honor roll student up to 6th grade. Then, I stopped trying once I started noticing girls. In 8th grade, I got held back, and it felt terrible. I wound up having to be skipped up back to my proper grade the following year.
