I'm almost 21 and people always take me for 15 or 16, because I have a babyface- big eyes, high cheekbones, soft features and what not. And to top it off I like wearing cutesy rockabilly hairstyles like pigtails, bangs, waves, curls, and even bows and headbands so that obviously doesn't help in adding years. I used to hate it, but now I kind of like it. First off, I'll appreciate looking younger when I'm old. Second off, it's kind of funny and entertaining and I like shocking people when I tell them my real age.

Lol. Yeah, funny thing is I used to look older because of my precocious curves. When I was 14, I looked 21, and now that I'm 21, I look 14! Weird.

I'm 22 and always get told I look much younger, like 18 or 19. Its irritating sometimes, especially when you get asked for I.D. at the bar or when going out clubbing. But it can be funny seeing the reactions on people's faces when you tell them your age, especially the ones who are 18 or 19. Its also fun making them guess your age before you tell them and mock them when they get it wrong. I usually just laugh it off though and tell them- when I'm 30 I'll look 21.

I'm 24 years old, but a lot of people think I'm a teenager because of my babyface. I look very young in my face and I guess it doesn't help that I don't use make-up or wear formal clothes.
It may sound strange, but I think that me living in a foreign country has a bit to do with it too. Here, young girls have a face not that different from mine, but once they grow older and become adult their face gets different. Maybe that's why everyone here seems to think I'm younger, my face looks like the faces of local teens. In my home country people have never mistaken me for a teenager so far, while it happens all the time here.
I don't really care much about it, I try to just ignore it, but to be honest I sometimes get a little tired of being constantly treated like a teenager and spoken down to. I'm 24 years old, married, educated and experienced at work, but people still act as if I'm a dumb, irresponsible, inexperienced and insecure teenager who needs guidance.

i imagine you should forget with regard to the bullying. i'm twenty and for the most area, human beings imagine i'm 14,15,16 years previous. I keep in mind i became figuring out to purchase a gown for top college commencement and the revenues clerk concept i became graduating the 8 grade. Yeah. Awkward. even if, i'm satisfied that i look youthful. I preserve myself and that is a sturdy element. My mom seems youthful and my sister seems youthful. As you become old you'll comprehend how a lot of a sturdy element that is. maximum ladies are probable purely jealous because even as they take off each and each and every of the caked on makeup they offer the impact of being like little previous women folk. Ha ha ha. Plus, each and each and every of the ingesting and smoking makes them look previous, so i does no longer complication about it. next time they say something to you, purely say "Jealous a lot?" that often close them up for me. through the way....i imagine your household is ingesting from the Fountain of youthful human beings. Lol..... :D

Yeah, I was the same way. I could get served at 14 then I finally turned 21 and suddenly everyone thought I was 16. I didn't mind it. After 21 it's all crappy birthdays anyway :)

I'm 21 and people think I'm 16-18. I had one coworker once made me show her my ID cuz she didn't believe I was 21, she thought I was 17 at the oldest. I kinda hate it right now, but i'm sure when I'm 30 I'll love it.

Me too. My daughters (16 & 12) show my picture to their friends and ask how we are related and they say I'm their aunty and not their mom. But it kind of bothers me that I don't 'look' like a mom. Oh well, live it up I guess and enjoy while I can until I start to fall apart at the seams. =)

i look really young for my age, and im 41, most people think im early 30's and i got 23 and 24 one time, yes its true, you will love looking younger when youre older, its just when people make a fuss that bothers me, like a really big fuss. i still get carded when i buy cigarettes, and thats funny. enjoy it while you can, and always take care of your body, inside and out, especially your face, always use great skin cream..

I look younger than i really am and usually it's all good fun but occasionally I deliberately dress really smart to actually look my age. otherwise people don't take me serious because they think that I'm still a teenager and all
