A 15 year old 8th grader?
I don't think the space program is going to suffer any significant setbacks due to the loss of this fine young man.
uh- most kids are 14-15 by the time they are wrapping up eighth grade. Meaning that you should be turning 15 atleast your freshman in High School. I was 14 leaving the eighth grade. I was not the youngest, but far from the oldest.
I guess things are different all over.
Where I grew up, junior high was 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, and the kids were 12, 13, and 14 years old. (Generally speaking.)
High school was 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, and the kids were 15, 16, and 17.
You would have to have been held back at least once to be 15 in 8th grade.
