Where do people approach you to ask for your yr 9 electives? At school or..some other place?

wow you look like you are in year 8? I guess you won't have any trouble passing of as a child when buying tickets for movies etc...(other things i can't think of):rofl:

Hahah in year 10 i was visiting a school and standing around in the playground n this little junior comes up to me and asks me if i'm a teacher:eek:....i said no but i now curse my slow wit, i should have sent the little bastard to detention or something. my nice beard probably explained that one.:headbang: when meeting new people they generaly think i'm older than my sister (who is 3 years older) and one guy even asked me if i'm in Uni or finished (can't quite remember). I don't mind it, but when you look like you should be in university and your in high school ppl generally think your dumb or smthing.
if i shaved my beard i would prob look my age but i will never shave it! all those guys who boste about shaving - be a man and grow a beard! imo shaving is annoying though a beard does get itchy :)

People always guess me as about 3 years younger than I actually am.

I was once asked if I was looking forward to starting high school, when I was in year 9 :eek:
so no, I don't look older than I really am :/

Nah, i'm cool with it. Though she has tried to convince me to shave and gets a little annoyed when she is seen as the younger one lol. but then again - she has a car n i don't ; she goes to uni n i don't (though i'll be there soon).
Ironically i skipped year 9 so although i look like i should be in uni i'm in yr 12 n should be (age wise) in yr 11 :haha:
