"Are you in middle school?"

"ahaha, no, I graduated high school a year ago!" - me, last year. (now we're going into it being 3 Septembers since I was in 12th grade.)

Well, it's been awhile, hello. Not much in life going on. Usual work stuff. Though, what I'm here to talk about? Not looking my age, so.

Well, to be honest, if you looked at me first glance, you'd think I'm in middle or high school. And in real life, it happens all the time. I'm given fliers to things for students, because I look like one. Last year, someone even asked if I'm in middle school at some store that's no longer open... well, to be honest...I'm getting tired of that.

I'm going to 21 in December. I want to actually look my age. I know looking young has advantages, but. I just want people to not think I'm in middle school/high school when they look at me. I'm probably going to always be mistaken, but one day, maybe when I hit a certain age, I'll look it. Who knows?

I feel your pain man... as someone who has a feminine face, no facial hair, and a rather short and slim build... I often get mistaken for a middle schooler... or worse a girl O_O

I have that same problem myself... seems people think I'm younger than I'm actually am. Although I do shave regularly when a beard starts growing in, I'm still trying to grow in a mustache, which seems to be only happening a little bit at a time.
