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
....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.
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
