How do I look older?

Question

I will turn 18 in a couple of weeks but I look 14 or 15. I look even younger in my pictures.
While driving a car, its annoying for being asked for license over and over. I'm gonna start university next year so I'm even more anxious!
What do I DO?
Please help!

Answer 1

wear black, go in the sun, dun sleep. u'll look haggard within a year

Answer 2

There are many people out there that are 18 that look 35. So firstly you should thank your lucky stars. Looking youthful will come in handy when you are 30. I do understand your problem, as I have the same problem which works to my benefit sometimes but also to my detriment occasionally. But I also understand that it may be more difficult for a guy. So if possible grow a beard. Work out, get buff and eat more. Dress "older" sophisticate your wardrobe.

Answer 3

This isn't as bad as it seems..yes it is bad now because you are so young...but believe me I have the same problem..I am 22 but everyone thinks I am only 17-18--and I even get carded to buy lighters!!! Imagine that.
You have to look on the bright side--when you are much older you won't look THAT old...so for now I would say just put up with it...everything will work out fine.

Answer 4

RELAX! I faced that problem for years! I was still carded at age 35. It doesn't hurt, however, once you pass 45 and you look 10, 15, 25 years younger than your real age.

My daughter, 25, has the same problem; she's been stopped by TSI for not having her guardian with her--twice!

People have much worse problems, believe me.

Answer 5

I know how you feel. I'm 23 and everyone says I look 15. I get carded when I try to see a fricking R-rated movie and I get dirty looks from old people when I go out with my baby because they think I'm a kid. I just wear extra make up when i go to certain places. i wear darker shadows around the eyes and bright lipstick to make me look older. I hate it, so just be yourself and be thankful that you will forever look good.

Answer 6

I know how u feel. But I'd let nature take it's course. U will look older in time. Besides, people tell me they envy me because I look young. All I can suggest is drinking,drug use, and sun bathing. But all those are bad ways of looking older. When u go to college, u'll look older...stress makes u look older, and that's all college is, that leads to drinking and possible drug use and maybe even sun bathing, and that'll make u look older...so the cycle continues.

Answer 7

Don't worry about it. Believe me, time WILL catch up with you. You're too young to appreciate it now but you will when older and all your friends at the class reunion or whatever are all looking like a bunch of prunes... If you feel like there is a physical problem, see your MD.

Answer 8

you'll get asked for you licence no matter how old you look. I'm 27, I look 30 something and I get carded all the time. It's just protocol. Be Happy you look younger. When you do get older you'll want to look younger.

Answer 9

You can try to grow some facial hair (beard, mustache). Or just enjoy it. When you do get older you'll look yong still and people will be envious. Do you know how much money people spend to look younger? You have yours for free!!!!

Answer 10

enjoy it and grin really goofy in the id/drivers license photos. It will not last forever and when a kid of 18 tells you the do not need to see your proof of age remember asking this question now.

Answer 11

Dont do anything, enjoy it while it lasts, ull be wishing u could look YOUNGER in no time at all. (or u could grow your hair a little longer and wear darker colors like browns and blacks) A little facial hair also helps if u have.
