be happy. people always wish to look younger. and its strange that you want to look older. dont worry you will look 18 after 3-4 years.

That's understandable. I had hoped for the other way around, but I always looked older. Let's put it this way - I didn't get carded until I was actually 21. But when I hit 25 I started to look younger and still at 30 I get carded. Go fig.
My best friend deals with the same thing you do - she's 5'2" and has beautiful really long dark curly hair. She's greek and mexican and so gorgeous. But she looks so YOUNG. She has three kids and she looks like a senior in high school! It frustrated her too and some people told her to cut her hair it would make her look older. Her response in the end? MY hair and I LIKE it that way. She turned 32 last month and now she thanks the Lord in Heaven that she looks so young. She'll have a beautiful and youthful face for the rest of her life.
Right now it may seem like it really really sucks. But when your friends are looking a little haggard with age - you'll still be getting carded. :-)
Still doesn't make it all better? The truth is short hair makes you look more mature. A short sexy shag can keep you young and at the same time help you mature a little more in appearance. Your style of clothes matter as well. With my friend, she was wearing extremely youthful clothes because that was the size she was. When she began wearing the more tailored look of an adult, that made a difference in how old she looked. But people still can't believe that she has three kids!

Well, thank goodness you don't look older. Haha. But I would recommend taking a look at your wardrobe. Although we cannot help if we look younger, clothes can always accentuate this. Try looking at Cosmo or a fashion magazine and see if you cannot adapt an older wardrobe.

short, short, skirts and leg warmers are 12.
Appropriate length skirt and boots are 21.
Jeans and pony tail are 12.
Slacks, feminine blouse and a bun are 21.
