I Am Short For My Age

And pretty young. Now that I work as a para-educator at a middle school, I get stares from children often. I assume they think I’m a student that just poofed into existence one day, when actually I’m in my 20s.

I guess sometimes I look like a kid. I'm 5"2.

Do they take your seriously or just frustrate you?

@Chickie They take me seriously.

@Chickie I'm about 5'2- 5'3 and look super young already. Some years ago when I went to see my baby cousin at Children's hospital, staff asked me how old I was because kids weren't allowed to visit. ( I guess because the germs or something.) My cousin's grandma asked me why wasn't I in school! lol ma'am, I am a full adult! 🤣Seriously, I get it ALL the time!!

@SW-User Why would they think you're a student?

@MartinTheFirst I don’t know. I even had teachers I work with there ask me many times what age am I.
