      The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a “Cultural Exchange Opportunity”.

        Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don’t know, it’s a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

        Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn’t even want me to know, let alone take part.
