    • Has anyone ever told you that you're older or younger than you actually are?

    Does it annoy you?

    Flatter you?

    Have any stories?

    I'm 21 years old and I go to college. When people randomly come up to me, they tell me I look like a 18 year old freshman D:

    It does get on my nerves when they tell me this, but I find it funny when they get suprised when I tell them my real age :D

    • I'm often mistaken for being older, which I love. I'm only 15, yet people assume I'm at least 17 or 18.

    • People think I look older than I really am...and once you're past the age of 18 like I am, that's a bad thing. XD

    Last year I was told that I looked 15. Then later on last year, while I was hanging out with a friend and some of his friends, one of his friends asked me how old I was, and when I said '17' he said 'are you really'?

    That and I was told by my own Mom that my sister looked older than me once. :(

    I'm sick of being told that I'm younger than I really am. It's mostly because of my height. At the grand height of 5'2, I'm not exactly the right height for a high school student. And I refuse to wear heels.

    It bugged me a lot when I was little, and it still drives me nuts today. When I was in 8th grade, during the 5th grade orientation at the middle school, teachers mistook me for a 5th grader. That nearly made me cry with frustration. The worst part was that the freaking 5th graders were as tall as me. What the fudge.

    The annoying thing is that people in real life tell me about how I act mature for my age. Or maybe they just think I act mature for "my age," because they really believe that I'm 10 years old or something. I don't know. It's probably not that serious in reality, but it's somewhat of a big blow to your pride (when you're a kid, that is) when you get mistaken for an elementary school kid after you've already gone through middle school.

    • I'm always mistaken to be 18-19, when I'm only 16. It's hilarious to see their reaction, when they find out that I was never held back.

    (7 days! T.T)

    Ignore that.

    • Once someone came up to me and said, "Oh, she looks so sweet! Hon, are you going into highschool soon? It's easier than they say it is, you know..."

    I stared at her and said, "Ma'am, I'm a senior."

    Lmfao.

    Story of my life. -_- Difference is I'm 21 and in my last year of university and I still have people think I'm in elementary school because of my height. @_@ This won't be great when I go to interviews. >.>

    There are upsides to looking younger though as I learned later in life. XD One is eventually you get compliments that you aged better. :P

    • I think that I look my age. Though I guess I get afforded a bit more respect because I'm usually helping people with computers, so they usually aren't so condescending. Or something.

    When I was younger, people assumed I was older than I was, I looked taller since I was really really thin. Actually, I was only 5'3". When I was in 5th grade, some people thought I was in 7th, since at the time I was growing taller and my legs looked longer than my body. >.<

    But, now that I'm 21 and have grown into my body (lol) and don't have freakishly long looking legs, people think I'm younger than I am. Some people think I'm 19 or so, and I always get carded to drink. I understand that, but it's aggravating to always have someone look at me twice before agreeing with me that I'm 21. >:F And I never grew taller then about 5'5" so now I feel short since everyone is taller than me.

    Online and offline, I tend to be mistaken for older than I am. Online, it's a bit flattering, since the mistaken age is about four years older than I am. Offline, I tend to be mistaken for as much as three years older, so.. not so much flattery there.. haha..
    As for stories.. well. Every person I talk to in passing seems convinced that I'm a college student. When I tell them, "No, actually, I'm still in high school.", that's usually the cue for an awkward silence and an embarrassed, "...oh."
