I was one of these kids. I got through HS in two years by doing an entire year of work each summer, graduating just after my 16th birthday and on to college for summer term. I was socially hopeless and without a clue, and it's the best move I could have made. You always win when your peer group is more mature than you are.

Good for you! I wish more kids would do this.
