I'm gonna be 18 in a month, but everywhere, esp. where I'm required to shopw my ID, ppl question me. They practically insist that I'm 13 or 14. Freshmen asked me out thinking that I'm in middle school. All through high school, ppl thought i was an underclassman or a bit younger and I'm tired of ppl talking this kinda crap about me. I kno I'm small 4 my age (5' 3.5") so I need them to stop rubbing it in. How do I get them to stop and how do I get myself to look older?

be who you are, just act your age and get a little edgy when someone treats you younger !

dont feel bad...i will be 25 in 3 months and i still look 16. I have 3 children and i get dirty looks from strangers when they hear my babies call me mom.
i have been denied ciggarettes because even with an ID people dont believe my age.
you think you have it bad at 5'3"? i am 5'1" IF i stand up real straight!
i have "chubby cheeks" people think is baby fat.
all i can say is you will LOVE it when you are 30 and still look 20.
dot try to look older, just always make sure to get a new id if you color your hair, get new glasses or do anything that changes you appearence. the closer to "you" that your id looks, the less likely people are to dismiss it.
if the SAME people are repaetedly making these comments, tell them it offends you (but you have to make sure to say it in a way that cannot be taken as a tantrum, because that will only add to the look of you being childish!)

Just be happy that people think you're older now. I used to be the same, and now that I'm 27 I notice that gas station attendants don't I.D. me anymore, not even bartenders do it now, so I must look my age now, which sucks. Trust me, you'll miss it when it's gone, and it will happen too, so enjoy it while you got it.

I'm 31 and still get questioned, enjoy young beauty, and take it as a compliment. when your my age and their still asking about your age, some will feel stupid for even asking, and you can laugh it off. but i truly know what you mean!!!

Act more mature. Stop being annoyed when you are carded. Make a joke about it if you like by saying, "Yeah, I understand. I haven't reached my growth spurt yet."

Get a haircut that looks your age (or older), and stop wearing t-shirts. Polo tees and shirts are better.

Enjoy it while you can. 10 years from now, you'll consider that to be the highest compliment anyone can give you. Trust me on this...
