I'm a February baby and started school at four. I never felt as though I was an equal amongst my peers (including all friends) throughout school. Some of that was certainly my personality, but I do credit a lot to my age. Puberty was obviously later than my peers, couldn't go to the bars with my friends until my second year of college, etc.

I never realized that the insecurity I had growing up was related to my age, but looking back on it now, its clear as day to me that it was a problem for me.

I took me until my late twenty's to realize that it was all in my head.....
