I was really thrown back. I'm 20 and a 1/2. I told him and he apologized and said he thought I was maybe 15. Talk about a slap in the face. i laughed it off, but wow. I can't believe people take me for so young. I guess in 20 years times I'll be thankful for looking so young.

Replies easilyjaded Posted at 7:58 pm on Aug. 11, 2008 I get that a few times. I'm 20, but I'm only 4'8 so a lot of people assume I'm around 12 years old. It gets annoying! When they ask, I just reply with: "School? I graduated high school two years ago." belizabeth Posted at 10:06 am on June 17, 2008 I'm out of school for the summer so it doesn't matter here.

I'm only 14 and I can pass as an eighteen year old to get in clubs and I can still get on the bus for a child price without having ID on me. That sucks. I'm 16 and my friend and i were trying to get people to buy us drinks, so we told them we were 18.. They didn't believe us lol. But they still bought us drinks :D HOORAY! swtpie Posted at 10:00 am on June 17, 2008 Quote: from AndSoItWasWritten at 9:57 am on June 17, 2008 Maybe the guy was some kind of weird pedo....freaky...even if he meant it in a 'nice' way, that would be weird. are you short or something? that would be the only way someone would mistake it. seriously. I'm 5'4''. The counter thing where all the pharmacy people work in is a couple feet off the floor.
