How to deflect "how old are you" questions?

<p>What’s wrong with you? Just tell them your age. I got scolded for my age when I was in Iraq. I was the youngest guy in the unit (I was deployed when I was 18). Everybody was old enough to be my father except for a select few. I received some nick names like one of the nicknames I had was a title of a song that came out the year I was born and etc… But I didn’t let it bother me because usually people make fun of each other as a sign of “acceptance” and all that other stuff. </p>

<p>Almost everybody is the same age in college anyways if you’re the “traditional” college student. The only problem I see is if you’re the thirty-year old hitting on the young college girls mentioned above.</p>
