so, wait... if it's been five years
...how are they all still in high school?
Time doesn't pass in movies in the same way he does in real life.

Only the people that were snapped and gone for the 5 years are still in high school. Because they're the same age. It's a little ridiculous all the main characters happened to be snapped, but that's the explanation.
shareNot that guy Brad though (Peter's rival for MJ's affections).
There were a few other classmates like that.
They explain that he was younger than them before the snap. So he was only like 10 or 11, and he wasnt snapped. Five years later, he keeps aging but Peter and those people dont. So now they're the same age.
shareBut yet the movie make it seem like they knew Brad prior to the snap when they mentioned him crying and getting nosebleeds. How would they know this if they were originally five grades ahead of him?
shareThey said he was the younger brother of one of their classmates. They probably saw him often enough that way.
shareThe only thing this movie mentioned regarding Brad's past was the fact that he used to cry and get nosebleeds all the time. It never said anything about him being a sibling to somebody. Yeah, the other guy who does the School news with Betty Brant mentioned that his younger brother is older than him but doesn't mean that he was talking about Brad. They're not even the same race.
shareThere's a million explanations one could come up with on why some kids might know about someone 5 grades younger. It doesn't seem critical enough to the storyline for them to take time to spell out how exactly they knew him before the snap.
shareEspecially in a smaller high school and if the kid was popular.
Knowing of someone (in this instance with Brad) and knowing them are 2 different things.
“I keep on getting older, and they stay the same age”
