I get it all the time too. Now that I'm in my late 20s, ppl still think i'm in my early 20s. But when you handle yourself well and in a mature manner, they will have more respect for you then someone who looks the age but behave childishly.
So don't let it bother you too much, laugh it off. Have confidence in yourself cos even if they think you're 12, they'll be like woah ... she can't possibly be 12, she doesn't act like one.
Don't pile on too much heavy make-up cos you'll just look like you're trying to hard. I think dressing helps too. Not so much of the cutesy t-shirts and dresses. Accessorize a little. Hair too, If you have it up in a ponytail, you usually look younger.
This is just short-term inconvenience. You'll enjoy many more year of looking young in the future than the pain now.

the same thing happens to me. people always think that im only 14 or 15 but im actually 18. all you can really do is be mature. looks dont matter too much anyway, its all about whats in your mind. dont try to look older, because that will just end up making you look like your putting on an act. just be yourself and your true friends will accept you for who you are.

There's not much you can do to change that. Just be yourself and realize that you can change only you, and not others. Meanwhile, you will likely increase your chances of being respected by acting your age and not letting peer pressure get to you.
Good luck to you.

you cant change it. I'm 21 and people think I'm 25. at least people think you look younger then you do. i have people think I'm older but it could be my height. when i was 15 people thought i was 18 19. it was because of my height
