Are you sure it's just a few extra pounds? Extra weight makes people look older. I'm male, about 5' 10" and approximately 185 lbs. I workout regularly and have maybe 5 lbs more than I should. If you're female and you don't workout, and your height/weight are close to mine or higher, you probably are too heavy.
I suggest that you lose weight and grow your hair out. Shoulder length and shorter is common amoung older women. Look around and you'll see that they often cut their hair short after having kids and they're often overweight. If you don't want to look like them, a nice body with at least shoulder length hair should do it.

Girl...I feel your pain. I carry myself in way that makes me look older and I am also very tall. I am 5'9 in half. The best thing is to exercise at least 4 to 6 days a week. Mix it with cardio and strength training. Especially if you have extra weight on you. That can indeed make someone look older than they should. The elasticity in the skin starts to stretch due to extra weight and can sag. Also take a multivitamin too with a B complex vitamin and lots of C and calcium. These will regenerate the skin and metabolism, stress levels too and slow the reproductive cells to somewhat slow the aging process. Drink lots of water too. This will help hydrate the you skin cells.

Start doing a few crunches in the morning and strectch a bit, before breakfast. Plus drink warm water with lemon squeezed in it, before your breakfast. This will help you to lose a bit of weight and feel more crisp. Also, you may want to look into creative visualization to improve yourself and your life (try finding a book by Shakti Gawain).Also, maybe you just act more mature than your friends. Do u like your style or do you feel you need a makeover?
If so, your clothes/hair/makeup may be part of the problem. Good luck and have fun creating the new you!

Sometimes wearing too much make up makes girls look older. Try wearing more natural looking make up and working out if your unhappy with your weight, if your not unhappy with it flaunt it girl... there are so many "not so stick thin" rolemodels and women that are considered some of the most beautiful women in the world. don't fret over the small stuff and when push comes to shove, who knows you might even attract an older (not like gramps older) guy that may treat you even better than some of the "boys" that are our age. Love yourself and stay confident and everyone else will see that youthful essense radiate everytime you smile.

Actually most researchs have shown that women age faster than man.This is also the reason why guys usually choose women who are younger than them.Every women wants to look good,who on earth don't want themselves to look good?Even if you look older than your own age,i think it is all right .Don't be too worry about this common problem faced by women.If you are still not convinced,maybe you can try using makeups and beautiful clothes to make youself look younger and aslo have more confident in your own look.Hope you will suceed!!!

Maybe it's the clothes you wear or your hairstyle. You should go shopping a buy something a little hip and then go to the salon and go for a hairstyle with a little bit more edge than you normally would have. Good luck.

Here's a plan: shed these extra pounds, reinvigorate your hairstyle and ... enjoy life - do not take it too seriously. If someone call you "madam, answer politely, "Yes, grandma(pa)?

If they ask you how old you are tell them you are 45. That should do the trick.
