No I'm not an 8th Grader.

I hate when people ask me how old I am, Ask for my birthday, and then assume what grade I'm in. And then have the nerve to debate with me when I tell them I'm in Grade 9 instead of 8. 

I'll give you some more insight on this. I was born October, 25, 1996. Which makes me 14 (And a half.. :3) years old. When I started Freshman year on August, 9, 2010. I was 13 years old.
In the state of Georgia, There really isnt any 13 year old Freshmans...
I'll explain why

In the state of Georgia, You must turn 5 before September, 1st to start school. I didn't turn 5 until October, 25th, 2001. But. I didnt start school in this State, I started in California. and in California, You must turn 5 before December, 2nd.
So yep. I'm younger than pretty much everyone in my grade.

But the most annoying part? Having to explain it. I always hear,
"WAIT.. If you turned 14 in October? How are you in grade 9!?
And like I said before, some people actually debate with me, trying to tell me what grade I should be in
I know exactly what grade I should be in. But you know how some people are... they just have to make sure you know they're right. 

-Yawn- Been up all night... Felt like ranting before going to sleep. <3
