skipping grades
I would think it would be tough for guys. As it is, most girls mature quicker than boys at least physically. I was pretty much matured by 9th grade and didn't date guys unless they were at least Juniors or Seniors because the 9th grade boys all looked so young.
FWIW my Dad skipped grades and ended up getting married right after after HS graduation which meant he had to elope with Mom to a state in the South that allowed kiddies to marry. Mom was 4 years older so I think technically she could have been arrested for crossing state lines with a minor for indecent purposes. (NTTAWWT, at least in their case) Heck, she had to drive b/c he had no license. Well, it all worked for him because he always looked older and played sports with kids in his grade. But I would feel really bad for the male who is in 9th grade but looks like a seventh grader. That can't be fun.
