Y do Asian teens look exactly or slightly younger while Western teens look slightly older thn d actual age?

Question

I hv tis cuz fm the States who come visited us few yrs ago w his family and some of his buddies. He's the same age as my younger bro but he and his buddies look so much older than their age.

Answer 1

It's not just asians that look younger, in my experience all non-american kids are smaller and look younger than american kids. It's a combination of the processed foods americans eat plus the types of make-up and clothing they wear, as well.

I am american and visited England as an exchange student. All of us Americans looked older than our British counterparts.

Answer 2

Well I hv noticed that too that the American look older than their age that is due to some food they ate. Well I guess in overall we asian look cute and bubbly.....so we stay young....hehe

Answer 3

I guess they just tend to age more quickly (at least appearance wise) then asians. Could be due to factors such as the food, environment, lifestyle etc.

Answer 4

because americans stress themselves to much it makes you age fast.asians dont have that problem like we do.

Answer 5

I dunno about the guys, but the girls TRY to look older with all the makeup and how they do their hair and stuff. Maybe the guys do too, but not with makeup. :P

Answer 6

Your right but i cant explain it

Answer 7

b/c of enviroment and culture
