Answer 1

hi, first of all, ask a few questions:
1. is your attitude as a 25 yr old lady??? or your head is still into your childhood?
2. do you wear makeup??? if so, its proved that older people uses less amount than teenagers and colors are little darker,
3. your clothes are always too messy, or with "cute" figures on it, do you always wear light colors? try some dark (I'm not telling you to look like an old woman, just make your appearance a little bit serious.
4. You don't need to be tall to look older, its the way you use accessories too.
5. Increase the amount of friends of your same age. Don't leave the younger, just try new things.
6. TRY TO UP SOME WEIGHT, people skinny looks so much younger. Getting more pounds is not necessary eating more, you can look different depending on the clothes you wear and how you wear it...

hope this will be useful.......

You prob don't really look 15, head to a high school and take a look around. They still have baby faces. People just say that because you are cute and small. Expierement with make-up, try not to wear clothes you would have picked out when you were 15, sophisticate your style. No hoodies, sweats, baby tees, tenis shoes, or tiny purses. Where heels, try a low parted pony tail, and use medium sized bags (large will look strange because of your size) By the time you hit 25 you will start blending in with the 20 somethings better.

Answer 3

Just enjoy it! I looked older and never got carded until the day I turned 21 and that was only because it was a new law that the bars had to be sure all the customers had there Id's on them. I felt so terrible, I'd been going in there for the past 3 years and they weren't to happy with me but I hung out with older people and i acted older. Maybe choose different friends or friends that act older.

Answer 4

just the way you carry yourself and act should show your age.

I'm only 19 but I present myself very well and even though I look very young people often think I am older.

Also I'm not sure if you are male or female but the way your groom yourself also helps.

girls shouldn't do make up like skanks and men shouldn't do weird things with facial hair.

the way you dress can also give a wrong idea to your age.

since you are 21 you should dress maturely but casual.

maybe you should look into a new group of friends since you are an adult and they are not. you likely act really immature around them since they're immature at 16.

Answer 5

I think u should enjoy it .. it gonna be great when you'll be 31 n you look 25 .. .. but if u don't like it .. act like in your age n have some grown up style .. being short is not the problem it just u need a lil more faith on your self ..as they say shorter look younger !! lol

Answer 6

enjoy it while it lasts! I used to be like you. Ive always looked younger than my friends and wanted to look older. Now im 32 and definately look it, and sometimes i feel i look older. Maybe youll look 30 when your 50, that would be cool.

Answer 7

I am 31 years old and still get carded everywhere I go. It does get annoying sometimes because people don't take me seriously. Oh well, i will really enjoy it when I am 40 and barely look 30!

Answer 8

Enjoy your self now, Do you know how many people want to see in the way you look? I was in the very same way, I still remember when I was 23 and I was still showing my ID to get into the disco and the pubs.

Answer 9

i have the same problem
i try dressing more age appropriate
try to look like a grown up
then to establish an older group of friends
not much you can do with minors

Answer 10

Where clothing thats better suited to your age and act your age, facial hair also does wonders for the vertically challenged.
