Today, I was yet again asked to show my hall pass. I'm 23 and work at a middle school. I've worked here for the last five months, so not only do I look 13 years old, I'm also not memorable enough for my own coworkers to recognize me. FML

I'm sure you'll be glad that you look young for your age when you get older.

With your looks, you can go online and meet lots of guys in their mid 30's. Work it, girl!

Sounds like a pedophile's dream. Look like you're young but still legal!

So do something memorable. Next time they ask, flash your boobs. Boom, instant recognition.

#13, nice thought, but if she really looks 13, that's not usually an option. In some cases, this could mean a dramatic loss of Kleenex.

And "boom" instant job loss. BUT you truly will be remembered! Eh, it happens to me all the time. Usually when I'm grabbing lunch and start cutting the kids. It's funny to hear them start cussing and getting upset until you turn around and smile sweetly and say "but what if I ask really nicely?" Looks of horror all around.

You cut the kids? Holy shit! I knew schools have become like prisons, but I didn't know the staff wielded shivs and shanks.

Well, it is an institution. ;-) But seriously teachers do have to cut. We won't be able to do all we need to and eat during the half hour. Sometimes we can be social and just eat but it's not often.

Grow some damn facial hair then so you won't look like a pre-pubicent teen

Uh op is a girl. That would probably be hard for her.

That's some wonderful advice. However it is quite difficult for women to grow enough facial hair that they are not qualified as hairy lipped, but are not the bearded woman at the circus. Perhaps some dark colored lipstick or cigarette breath would be a better alternative.

Females generally don't care for facial hair.

I'm 17. I thought of it when I was watching butterflies flying around a few years ago and I thought they looked drunk. So I stuck with it. :)

I wonder if you'll be on those ads that say, " 59 year old looks like a 20 year old."

I understand. I'm 26 and work at a middle school and have been mistaken for a student multiple times!

Same thing happened to me my first day on the job at an elementary school, I was told to get back to class. Maybe try to converse with them more often.

Whoa now, there's a huge difference between getting mistaken for a 13-year old and getting mistaken for a primary schooler.

The elementary I work at is K-8. I should have clarified.

Do the teachers not have badges at the school?

When it's small enough, not really. Especially when you're there every day.

Is 1700 students considered small? Because at my school, none of the teachers wear badges unless they're TOCs.

I empathize. I am also 24 and work at a high school and I STILL get mistaken as a 14 year old... And I have been working there for 5 years -__-'.
