There are no kids my size or skill level at my gym

Combat sport aside boxing is a niche sport in the country I live in much less bjj and because of it theres not much kids my size or skill level. The highest ranked kid is a 1st degree grey and black belt but he's half my height and 1/3 of my weight the next is a girl who is half my weight and 2/3 my height and I wont lie I'm a big person but when I see gyms in America(where I was born)I see kids they are yellow, orange and green who are my size and I wish that I could roll with them or just even train with someone on that caliber. I feel like a kid thats grounded whilst he watches his friends play outside. I have also done some adult classes and the people that are my size are relatively easy. I just want to see where my skill level is. I don't know what to do I'm thinking of stop training with kids all together cause I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of it.

NB: I am a grey and white 1 stripe

Hypothetical question

Lets say there is a kid. he's been training for 10 months 5x every week 2-3 hours . He also teaches kids sometimes and is one of the more advanced kids in the school he has competed twice got 2nd both times he also trains with adults blue or white sometimes purple and rolls with brown and black belts during open mats. What kids belt do you think he is.

For all the kids/teens adults too in r/bjj

I recently got grounded from bjj for school related stuff for 1.5 months since bjj is my livelihood what should I do in the mean time its been 2 days already and I'm already starting to feel crazy anything helps. n/b my mom made me call my coaches on speaker in the store and tell them why I cant train for 1 month or so. I want to know if I'll get worse at bjj and would it be fair if I counted this as timed I have trained. I'm all ears and want to know how to deal with this situation.

Belt color matching no gi rashguards.

Is it a must that in a competition setting that you have to wear rashguards the same or with accents as your belt color.

Do you think I should get promoted?

Do you think I should get promoted?

Things I have done since getting my grey/white belt:

  1. Kept a blue belt in guard who was weaker and smaller than me
  2. Got 2nd in a 3 man division with 1 win and 1 DQ
  3. Can survive without getting submitted by blue belts who go easy on me
  4. Can beat higher ranked kids that are a bit smaller than me
  5. Train 2–3 hours Mon–Sat but miss some days
  6. Submitted a blue belt after they made a mistake (arm triangle but they were probably going easy though)
  7. Can sometimes beat 3rd and 4th degree white belts who are bigger than me
