oh boy. i am doing my student teaching and field experience and my students have to call me Miss.... yikes. what are you teaching???Interesting, so we now have a test we can apply to see if we are "old." When the semester starts, I'm going to have to see if my students start calling me "mister."
Wait...I have students!? Oh dear, I am getting old, and I'm only 23!

Ditto, although in regards to previous posts, most of the time in High School we didn't have to ask permission to go to the restroom. We could just get up, take the pass (if there was one), go, and come back.Man, I'm still programmed to address teachers formally!
My mum is the principal of the primary school I attended, so I still see some of the teachers who taught me as a nipper on occasion, but despite their best efforts to encourage me, I can't bring myself to call them by their christian names. If I went back to my grammar school, I'd have to address the teachers as 'Sir' or 'Miss;' it just doesn't feel right to do otherwise.
Nor, for that matter, do I feel comfortable in addressing those teaching me now I'm at medschool by anything less than 'Doctor <insert surname here>.'
I had gone to see Transformers the other day, and, being a guy, not to mention a bit of a geek, I really enjoyed it. When I got home, I thought I'd check out the IMDB to find out more about the pretty lead female (mainly because I couldn't remember her name), only to discover she's 2 years younger than me
Has anyone else had an experience like that? One where you suddenly realise you're really not a kid anymore?
I'm going to be in a second grade classroom. definitely a jump from where you are going to be. I can't imagine teaching anythign sciency...I'm TAing discussions and labs for the science and engineering level physics 2. I just know I'm going to get at least one student who's fresh out of high school and still programmed to address his teacher formally. When that person raises his hand and asks for permission to go to the bathroom, I plan to look him directly in the eye and firmly say "no." And then after about ten seconds I'll laugh it off.
So what grade are you teaching?

Lol! I really, honestly feel the pain and have been feeling it since I was 20 and found out two of the hot guys in one of my favourite bands were younger than me :o I felt like such a dirty old woman!! I'm sort of used to it now though. I see successful people younger than me and see it as a kick to pursue my own goals a bit more fearlessly, because if they can do it, right...?Now, this is somewhat tongue in cheek, but I thought I'd share a little experience I had the other day that sort of knocked me for six...

When did hot girls in films suddenly become younger than me? Last time I looked, they were all older, by a couple of years at least. If I'm not careful, I'll be a dirty old man before I know it.
To make matters worse, my flatmate decided to tell me I was going grey round the temples. It's just not fair!
Could be worse, I suppose... the new youth pastor at church is just a year older than me, and he's already thinning out on top

A similar manner?
I see 30 as the ememy since I feel it will rob me of what has always been emphasized about me by EVERYONE in my life...beauty.
I have everything else that a woman at my age wants. I'm married(since I was 16) I have three boys, I own my own home, I get to be a stay at home mom.
I just feel that since looks have been so emphasized all my life, if I lose them, I will be nothing.Wrong thinking, I know, but its very much embedded in my mind.
I know there are alot of beautiful woman celebrities over 30 even older, but still I worry.
