I figured the reason why strangers, my parents and many ppl I know don't take me seriously is b/c I look SO young for my age. I'm 25 but b/c I have a baby face and a skinny, underdeveloped body is b/c people think I'm in my early teens. I try to change my hairstyle, act more mature. When I'm with my daughter, everyone thinks I'm her sister or babysitter and my mom is her mom. I know I'm going to be happy when I get older but it sucks when people talk down to me or ignore me. I only had one friend in college b/c I look really young.

If you want to be taken seriously, get rid of your insecurities and start acting like an adult. Doesn't matter how young you look, or how small you are. Hold your head up and talk to people in an adult manner.
There's nothing unusual about young mothers looking younger than they are. Lots of moms look young, and lots of grandmothers look like their grandchildren's mother. You've got a hang-up that you need to drop. People talk down to you, or ignore you, because that's the way you carry yourself. Looking younger than your years didn't stop you from getting pregnant, so stop acting like a child. You're a grown woman now.

Girl! Consider yourself lucky. Undevelopment can be helped, Surgrey if your not happy with your body. But think when your older your still gonna look good and everyone else is going to be old and wrinkly. I'm 21 and some people think I'm like 25 because I act mature, but then I look like i'm 18.
Good Luck!

I look younger too, the last person wanted to know if I was alive in '78. I was born in '68. You know, I have thought that too, that people don't respect me but I think it's due to my personality, although I'm sure looking so young didn't help. I always said- I'll appreciate it when I'm older and I do. I think you need to put those people in their place (I need to work on that big time)

Aww...I know the feeling. But it doesn't matter what people say. It matters what it actually is.People can say you look young or whatever. But are you??...No. I say it's better to look younger than your age than to look older, cause that can be uglier sometimes.lol Let people stare or talk, cause you know the real deal anyway...
