I graduated 4 years early, started a year late, and skipped 4th grade (as in didn't go to school that whole year lol). I have regretted not having a normal HS experience though, even though most say they hated it.

First time I kissed a girl, was about 10 minutes before having sex with her when I was 19 and had just gotten out of the AF (gulf war ended). I never got to hold hands, do first dates, kiss etc, went straight from 0 to 60, didn't pass go, didn't collect $200.

I couldn't keep going to school though when I had construction jobs paying $15 an hour in the late 80's instead. I even turned down a full 4 year scholarship like an idiot.

Anyway they really should have schools/training etc for kids that can learn very fast, it's better today then when I was younger but still not great, and if you do skip grades/advance fast you still give up most of your social life. I don't think it's really worth it, but of course at the time it sure seems like it is.
