Wear high heels to make yourself taller, get a mature hairstyle...something sexy but still classy. Maybe dye your hair darker or add highlights to brighten it up. Wear SOME make up. I have the opposite affect, I'm 16 and everyone thinks I'm 20.

My best friend is 19 too and she has the same exact problem. I always tell her to wear heels when we're going out.
I don't know how u style ur hair, but that is an important factor. I hope ur not wearing ur hair in high ponytails or in a ponytail at the top w/ ur hair down in the back...this looks really youthful. If ur even wearing ponytails, remember that the lower ur ponytail, the more mature u look. Also, if ur hair is straight, try to add a lil flavor by adding curls! Curls add volume and women love volume!......well, most of us.
Also, pay attention to ur jeans! Too much flare is not cute! No bellbottoms! Look for either skinny, slim-legged, or boot cut jeans! Too much flare screams JUNIOR department!
Back to ur shoes, don't wear tennis shoes!.......well only when ur at the gym or doing something like that. But try to wear either heels or some nice flats.
And who said u have to plaster ur face with make-up just to look older? Too much make-up makes u look like u don't know what ur doing! A lil eyeshadow won't hurt. Or if u don't want any color, just use mascara and/or some eyeliner. That should do the trick!
My last piece of advice........DON'T TAKE EVERYONE'S ADVICE!!!!! Do what makes u feel comfortable!
I hope I helped! Good Luck!

U CAN ALSO TRY WEARING SOME FORMAL CLOTHES, OR AT LEAST AVOID PROPER TEEN CLOTHES.
GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT 30, YOU'LL LOOK 20-ISH :)

You won't believe this but its really a good thing. When you're friends are older, you'll still look super young! I had this problem myself and it totally sucked! Really not much you can do. If its your figure, maybe a padded bra. Or, like in my case, I had chipmunk cheeks. Put highlighter on the top of your cheekbones and add a peach colored blush to make your cheekbones stand out. Trust me-it WILL get better and someday you might be begging to look younger!

it's more about sophistication i think... so, just do a light dusting of makeup to make it look like u know how to Emphasize ur face!
darken ur eyebrows...that really frames the face. use a neutral shadow if u don't want heavy makeup, and then use black liquid or pencil eyeliner to enhance upper eyelid. black mascara on top. add white eyeliner or white eyeshadow to bottom lid. then sweep a bit of blush on to ur cheekbones. make sure ur skin looks clean, so u may need some powder or foundation just for coverage. if u have nice skin u can skip that. add some light pinkish/rosy lipgloss or lipstick and ur done. as for ur hair, make sure u take care of it. condition it often, and put it in nice styles... if u have ur hair down, make a nice easy Side part. if u put it up, use a thin hairband or side part again w/ ur ponytail.
make sure ur clothes are sort of up to date.... adding some cute flats or heels and a fitted jacket w/ nice jewelry or clutch can add to the sophistication. :) good luck

Dress older, but not like a tart, also use good words and be positive, drop attitude, and start focusing on something, give yourself a goal and people will start to see you are standing and acting like a adult
