Okay, so what you are saying is that we are still guessing on Elliot's age. He's around Robbie's age, but how close is unclear.

As for graduating in the US it really depends on the person. I graduated college at the age of 21. I also graduated high school at the age of 17 (birthday after graduation) while most of my classmates were 18 which means at minimum they graduated at 22, but the problem with that is the MC isn't in his or her senior year.

They are between years, so they have a minuimum of one more year of college (unless they are a second year senior or a super senior as a believe they call it, which I don't see Pixelberry doing except in cases where they specifically state it such as with James . . . who wasn't exactly a normal second year senior, because he didn't have the normal situation that brings that about, but he was one).

With the age the MC was when his or her parents divorced, there is a minimum of 8 years between Elliot and the MC unless the MC's mom and Todd were cheating on the MC's dad and the MC's mom was already pregnant with Elliot. . . in which case there are some major issues to address, because pregnant while getting a divorce causes some special legalities. So if Elliot is fourteen, which is probably the youngest we can go with being close to Robbie's fifteen, then that means the absolute youngest (barring the above situation which is unlikely) the MC can be is twenty-two and it's far more likely, logically, that the MC is at least one more year apart, simply because most, but not all, people don't get married five seconds ater a divorce. That would put the MC's likely age at twenty-three or twenty-four. But let's go with the idea that the MC is only twenty-two. That would mean after a most likely maximum of three years of college the MC is a year or more older than the average student in that year of school. This would imply that the MC was either held back a year, started a year later, or skipped a year between high school and college. These days it takes a lot to have a student held back a year. It happens, but not super often. The skipping a year isn't all that wise if you have any scholarships, but people do that some of the time. I guess starting a year later is probably the most likely answer, but that's only if the MC is actually 22 and not older, which is far more likely.

Anyway that's where the numbers in the game take me and it's really messing with me when they say the ages they have after the time gap before the divorce.
