I think young people may lie about their age because they want to do stuff that they aren't legally old enough for (getting a particular job/getting into clubs etc) or because they want their opinions to be taken more seriously. They may say they're younger than they are to get concessions on fares or entry fees or to excuse behaviour. (I cant actually remember that far back!! ) Older people may also say they're older to get seniors discounts or they may say they're younger simply because they dont want to seem old. I reckon your age is just a number and its no biggie... I dont have a problem with people knowing I'm 55 I dont complain about getting older - its better than the alternative!
