I turned 14 in december of my 8th grade year and I was never held back so your mileage definitely varies. My daughter is 16 and a sophmore but was held back due to parish age stuff. There may be some county kindergarten age requirement shenanigans going on.

This dude is walking around with some serious "They won't get me on anything" swagger. Douchebag.

I graduated 20 years ago, however that was high school stuff. NO ONE was having sex in 6-8 grade.

Just dropping this off here. Three of my favorite shows right now.

I guess that's because they technically call minors having sex on tape kiddie porn? Mr. Pond teaches middle schoolers and from the stories he tells, they are definitely not the same as we were at that age.

And they keep repeating over and over…

I watched an episode where Jabbar and Max got into a fist fight because Jabbar actually had the nerve to want to sit with other people at lunch once and a while instead of spending EVERY WAKING MINUTE with Max and Max was all "HELL NO". And Max's parents were fighting for Max's point of view. This made me want to…

I'm with you. I've watched a few eps here and there and have been ambivalent about it, but now everyone's all crying and I'm like

And this has caused me to youtube the commercial to terrify my kids with, then to fall into the youtube black hole of 80's videos. Someone helpfully put up all of the I Love The 80's shows.

Dear god those photos came out big. I apologize with these biscuits and gravy waffles.

I made brownies in mine the other night. You can also make this bacon jalapeno tater tot sandwich thing:

That was a very important distinction that you made there.
