Hi, walkyns!
I don't know that moving to another country would be beneficial or not. People are held back in grades for good reasons. If a person skips a grade, then there has to also be really good reasons to do so because of testing and how the student generally performs in school.
Are you feeling "out of place" in the grade that you're at for certain reasons, please?
Thanks!

yeah I'm feeling out of place in the grade that I'm in , because all my close friends that I used to go to school with they are all going to high school except me , I live in Ma, and I go to a public school, sometimes I don't even feel like going to school because all the students are younger than me I'm always the oldest in the grade =[

If you moved to another country you still wouldn't be with the friends that are a grade ahead of you.

To move up a grade you have to have extremely high grades.
Unfortunately you are the oldest because you were held back. But be sure you are not the only one that has been held back. It happens quite frequently.
Moving to another country is not going to put you ahead either. Actually it may put you behind depending on what country you would move to.
If you moved to another country, which one would it be? Who would you live with ? Who would support you?

I know it's tough feeling out of place, but that's not a good reason to skip a grade. And it wouldn't be allowed if that is the only reason you can come up with for doing so. Why are your grades low? Are you still struggling with the coursework? Do you just simply not do the homework? What is going on? Even if you were to move (I was never able to convince parental units that we should move so I could go to a different school, it only seemed to work when I didn't want to move), the school that you moved to would most likely have you take placement tests. So in order to skip the grades you would have to show that you were ready academically and would be able to succeed in the classes. And if you can't place higher in the district you're currently in, I can't imagine any other district would be that drastically different.

No, a good student is someone who does their very best and does the work. What you're doing is called slacking off.

That's probably a good idea. Unless you want to get held back again.
