Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character lies or hides their actual age in order to get around a social or legal boundary.
* '''Straight''': 15-year-old Bob lies about being an 18-year-old in order to serve as a war soldier. He keeps quiet about the general subject for the whole time.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** 10-year-old Bob lies about being 25 in order to serve as a war soldier and panics when someone asks him his age.
** 10-year-old [[AGodAmI Bob claims to be 9000 years old]] when he starts a therapy club.
* '''Downplayed''': 17 year Bob lies about being an 18-year-old in order to serve as a war soldier.
* '''Justified''': Bob's father is old and weak and Bob has no other choice but to join the army in honor of his family. Luckily enough Bob is part of a species in which young ones look like the adults.
* '''Inverted''': Bob, an adult lies about being younger in order to serve as a war soldier.
* '''Subverted''':
** It turns out Bob has an actual ID, proving he's an adult.
** Bob's 18th birthday was close enough to allow for processing time to make the issue moot.
* '''Double Subverted''': It turns out to be a [[MinorWithFakeID fake ID]], pretty well made. He gets kicked out after his fellow troops figure this out.
* '''Parodied''': Bob is a 5-year-old who lies about being 40 in order to serve as a war soldier. Even though he clearly doesn't look middle-aged, he still passes.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob is a 13-year-old who lies about being 18 in order to serve as a war soldier. Turns out he's actually an adult. But he was lying. But then his wriggled back proves he's Really700YearsOld.
* '''Averted''':
** Bob is an adult.
** Nobody lies about their age in order to do something.
* '''Enforced''': "Since we're basing a story off a true one, so why not add one of the events that actually happened?"
* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh boy. This one lied about his age!"
* '''Invoked''': Bob causes something that makes his father age and weaken in order to pursue his dreams of becoming a war hero.
* '''Exploited''': Bob's mother suggests Bob go when his father is sick to join the war.
* '''Defied''': In order to make sure nobody's a minor, the checkers give tests.
* '''Discussed''': "I bet this kid's lying about his age."
* '''Conversed''': "Remember that time Alice lied about being an older woman than she is?"
* '''Deconstructed''': 15-year-old Bob lies about being 18 in order to have sex with Alice. They are caught by his parents, and because ignorance of her partner's age is not a valid legal defense, Alice goes to jail for statutory rape.
