I'm flying alone today, I'm 15. The only ID I could find is my 8th grade middle school ID and the photo on that card looks nothing like me. What should I do? I don't have time to go get a state ID today. Do people traveling under 18 even need an ID?
 
They never do look like the holder - but it looks more like him to other people than it does to him. It's likely to be passed without more than a glance - airport staff are used to recognising people from apparently unalike photos - seriously!

By the way, in the UK ALL children going overseas must have their own passport. It lasts for 5 years. Imagine a 10 year old having a passport with a photo of him at 5 years old. It still gets him round the world OK, including into the USA, where the immigration agents are stricter than most I've ever come across.
