High school students in television look nothing like high school students in real life ([[Older Than They Look|well, not always]]), for one good reason: they're played by actors who are upwards of ten-to-fifteen years older. This dates back to the earliest days of Hollywood, if not further, making it [[Older Than Television]].

=== Fan
* Although there's generally no actual casting involved, many ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfics involve describing the characters (both existing and new) in terms that don't fit with eleven to seventeen years old. Sometimes there actually ''is'' casting, when the author creates banners or pictures for the cast, and generally uses models or actresses in their young 20s.
** A notable example would have to be ''[[The Girl Who Lived]]'', which references pictures of well-endowed porn actresses in their late 20s as pictures of the main cast all the way back when they were [[Squick|11]].
* Practically all Role Players cast their characters into age
* In the author's notes of ''[[My Immortal]]'', Tara Gilesbie suggested that [[My Chemical Romance|Gerard Way]] (!) should play [[Draco in Leather Pants|Draco Malfoy]] in the then-next ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' film.
