As you get older, you start to appreciate it when people tell you how young you look, or if a bartender asks for your ID. But when you're young, it sucks pretty hard. There's something disrepectful in the tone... really you're calling someone a child when you do what the guy in the comic did. And people do that. For some reason they think it's okay. You'd never tell someone "Hey, you look incredibly old," but it's okay to do the opposite. Same thing with fat and skinny, and I'm sure I've covered that subject in another comic somwhere else.

But yeah, I look young today and I graduated college in 2000. Back then I looked like a junior high school student.
