When people are young, they want to look older. When people are older, they want to look younger. Go figure.

Some day "looking younger" will be VERY important to you. Once you get into your 30's and 40's, looking younger is everyone's wish.
For now, being 14 IS young. Things are a struggle some times when your friends tease you about that issue, but you'll only learn more about yourself when you hear what others say.
If you wish to look more mature, try a "mature" looking hair cut, wear tasteful make up (not black, in other wards), and ....this is important....behave in a mature manner.
How you look is only one way of looking mature. Your thinking and the way you interact with others will better define your "age."

Oh the looking younger thing will not cash in for years yet, but when it does, it will pay off for decades. I looked young and it got old (LOL) but I finally understood when I was in my late twenties and still looked substantially younger than my co-workers of the same age. My skin is still in good condition for my age (43) and if I keep my hair dyed (I did get gray early) I can pass for a wide range of ages - including my 20s! The longer your facial structure holds up and your skin remains elastic, the longer you can avoid looking "senior" no matter what else is happening with you. And to quote one advertisement - that is priceless!

It's a bit of a pain at your age to 'look younger than you are,' ( I remember it well ~ although I was very tall for my age ), I can really only suggest that you have to ask those who tell you that 'you're lucky,' as to just why they say so!
There are 2 benefits I can think of, as an afterthought for this~
My ex wife was only 4ft 10ins (I'm over 6ft), and she used to get great delight in being able to buy clothing and shoes that suited a whole age range ~ and cheaper too. And, as she got older, she also took great pleasure in being thought of as much 'younger.'

It's a very good thing, trust me! :) I was in the same boat.
When you are in your 20's people will be very jealous of you. Girls who look older when they are 14 usually lose that glamour by the time they go to college. I know several real life examples. People like you look great for a long time.

I'm 14..I look like I'm about 12. Boys like it when girls look younger, because it makes them look really cute and innocent. When I go to the movies and stuff with my friends, I don't have to pay NEARLY as much as they do, because I pass as a 10 year old (what can I say, I'm gifted :D) and have to pay the kids price instead of the adult price. I LOVE being little (I'm 5 feet)..it's so much fun! Enjoy it and don't take it for granted!!

i know how you feel. I'm 19 and i look young too. I am a size A cup too. People would think that I'm 15 or 16. trust me its a good thing because people wouldn't want to look older than their age, they'd like to look younger. well most people would like that but others just don't care or would like to look older. like me i don't really like looking younger than i am, but i just have to deal with it.

People say that cause they know that when you get older(like 40) youll still look like your in your 20s.
I'm about to turn 21 in a couple of months and people say I have a baby face. I really dont care but yeah it does suck sometimes, im gonna get carded for everything.

depend on what age group you in, if you are teen you want to be 20, the 20 don't know what they want, the 30 wish they were 20 again, the 40 they going crazy mid life crisis, the 50 they think they 20 oh well I am tired.

What did you say your phone number is again? No, just joking. Kids wanna be 21, so they can drink n have more freedom and whatever. Adults wanna slow down so they can stay 21, and look like you do, and get guys like me. Thats all there is to it. Basically, you look good, but you want more freedom. Its a win/lose situation, everybody's going through.
