The age is appropriate because they want to judge the experience by how old the person is. The requirements to the 18 years old are different than to 35 years old. The picture makes sense when you apply for client-facing jobs. Most of the times those pictures you attach are like a passport-style pics, so you can't really judge on the person complexion and height by looking at it.
It is funny how now I see that parenting is hard. Back in Russia a lot of parents tell you that you are average, a drop in a sea of other talented people, and parents usually show you what flaws you have since you are a kid. So you grow up with a lot of insecurities and pretty much traumatized for the rest of your life. In the US though most parents say that you are a genius from the day you are born. So you grow up not being able to face the failures and imperfections of yourself. So where is the balance? It is tricky I think and what works for one kid and might enlighten and inspire him/her, might completely ruin the other.
