Can I ask you something, Nika? Why should you care what people think? I've quit caring what people think a long time ago. Life's too short to please everyone and you know what else? Today's not the day I'm supposed to please you, so you're gonna have to wait until the 28th of next month, as your name (based on the alphabet) doesn't come up until then. :giggle: :P

I have that exact same problem. I look 12. I am 19. I get people looking at my school things and saying, "Aren't you a little to young to be in college, buddy?"
And I agree. Some things just never have been, aren't, and never will be funny.

Just tell them if they were as smart as you, they would have been in college at your age, too!:giggle:

It's different when you look younger from something medical. It kind of hurts.

I understand. There was a guy here on campus who had to go to his doctor to give him hormones of some kind because he looked 14, excluding the coloration on his upper lip. He was a casual friend of mine and had confided in me about it. Saw him about a year later and he started looking more mature and I only hinted at him in a conversation that he's looking better (he knew what I meant).

the same thing happens to me. i'm 38 years old, am 5'2" and only weigh 117 pounds. oftentimes people think i'm in my mid 20s.

They are called growth hormones, i used to take them, but i could not deal with the side effects.

I was always much smaller than all of my classmates. I came up with a reply that has worked for years: "A dime is smaller than a nickle, too, but it's worth twice as much!"

Honey -- take it as a compliment! Twenty to thirty years from now, you'll wish you looked younger when everything starts to sag.

Seriously.

When you tell them you age, add a ;) and they'll get the message. :cool2:

I look young not because of my skin or wrinkles or whatever but because I have a petite body, from being born pre-mature. My body size will always remain the same, no matter how much I age.

I like that quote. Mind if I use it?
 
I just wish people wouldn't assume age based on how someone looks, period.

Not at all! Be my guest. I'm 5' tall and weigh 90 lbs. Try commanding respect from a classroom full of college freshman at that size!:giggle: That's where attitude comes in handy!:lol:

I don't know about you but I even get people looking at my I.D. and thinking it's a fake. "That can't possibly be you." Actually, it can. Cause it is.

Thanks so much. Wow, I'm not sure I could handle a classroom full of students. That's why I'm sticking to tutoring. <big smile>
 
I hate sarcastic tutors.


Once me and my 'terp was in a lesson at college. The teacher suddenly annouces we'r watching a video, (none ofthe videos here have subtitles or CC)

so my 'terp asks the teacher how long will the film be, so she has an idea, the teacher goes, 'why? do you want some popcorn>?'

this made both me and the 'terp really annoyed!

this same teacher acts like im a ten year old. cos before the 'terp told me what the teacher said about me, i cant remember what it was but the teacher went, "n o no no, shes lying she lying" omg how embarrassing!!

I'm sorry, some teachers are just mean.
 
I'm sorry. That teacher wasn't nice at all! And the worst part is you want to give them a piece of mind but you can't cause they're your teacher.
