    I apparently look young for my age... although I never really thought I did. I'm fifteen, turning sixteen this Saturday, five foot six, which I guess is a little short. I'm a junior in high school, but just two weeks ago, I was visiting my freshman biology teacher's classroom and all the little freshman thought I was one of them. >> They kept asking me "Are you SURE you're a junior", and I'd be all "Yes... I am sure". Afterward, I'd recall the story with my friend and he said "It's the babyface" and apparently he was being serious. I guess I don't mind that, I like feeling and looking young, but if looking young gives me issues like people treating me like a child, I will freak. Just saying~

    I always looked older than I what I am. When I was 11 someone asked if I were 14. I don't mind if people assume I look older, I kind of enjoy it.

    Depends on my hair. If it's down, I usually look dramatically younger than I am - unless it's rather longish. If it's short and styled up, like I normally have it, I tend to look about four or so years older. I don't know if that makes me look my age, of it it's four or so years older than how I look with my hair down. My glasses also make me look a little older too.

    I usually group most ages together. I don't know what i should look like specifically as a 19 year old, so I don't know if I look my age. :/

    Apparently, I look much younger than I am. This will help me immensely when I am old enough to cougar.
    omfg lmao!! This is my favorite post ever.

    I look like 17-18 while i am 15...
    Some even say im 13...
    ....I'm confused.

    I look younger than my age. An older guy at work who I had a crush on burst out laughing when I told him I was 20, because he had always thought I was 16 apparently ;_; I've had one person ask me if I went to work after school, but others have asked me if I go to uni, so I suppose it's OK.

    I'm tall so I look mature for my age, but not very much. I never met a person who thought I am over 15.

    When people look at me, or even hear me, they immediately think I'm 14. I'm gonna be 21 in a month and a half. :|

    Others think I'm like.. 22-23 because I look taller than my mother.

    I have found that I look younger than my age, as I look younger. I'm 22, but I could pass as someone in high school on certain days, and other days I look my age. I'm also 5'1, so the height issue also makes me look younger. Either way, I love it. Sure, sometimes it sucks when people think I'm 16, but when I'm 50, I'll look younger! Sounds good to me! Better to look young than old I say!

    I, according to multiple classmates and teachers, look quite a bit younger than my age. At eighteen and a high school senior, and despite having been an infamous student at my school for a year, some of the staff members never saw me before. Taking my not-so-little brother to his freshman orientation for his first year at the school, they had believed I was the freshman.

    On a more recent occasion (just earlier today, actually), two of my classmates asked me how old I was. When I told them I was 18, one actually dropped his jaw in disbelief and said, "I thought I was older than someone in this class for once." He's 16, and the tallest person in the class.

    Even though I'm sixteen, until now I've always had a boyish haircut - It's never been long. Because of it, as well as my shortness and tomboyish personality I'm often confused as a 10 - 12 year old guy... it's quite hilarious actually xD My dad's friends are all "Oh so this is your son."
    A certain someone *coughCalibancough* said:

    you look amazingly like a really bishie guy xD

    I can't remember what I went to see, but It was a R16 Movie, and the dude at the counter was giving me suspicious look and asked for my school ID.

    Unfortunately I have been forced by my parents to have a girlish haircut so now I don't look much like a twelve year old anymore

    Sort of, but I'm much younger since I do have a pretty chubby face and cheekbones! I'm definitely trying my best to look more mature though! D:

    I'm 19 and I apparently look more similar in appearance to a 12-year-old.

    If you could ever see what I look like you'll notice I am very freckly and odd.

    The reason for me looking younger than you think is probably because I'm on the Spectrum.

    Even though I don't see it myself, people say I look 18 or 19, when I'm actually 16. I'm not sure why people say that, but I'd guess it has something to do with my height/body build. I'm tall - 6'3" - and have wide shoulders. I'm not fat, though, which is kinda awkward. I wish I was shorter, and preferably have slimmer shoulders - they're stupid.

    Most people seem to think I look younger than I am. When I was a senior in high school, two juniors thought I was a freshman... I don't see it myself, but w/e.

    Well,since I'm stern and serious,and a little tall,people think I'm older.Generally I can watch movies that have a censorship of 15,when i'm 13.

    I'm 13,and people often think I'm 15 or 16. I am tall,and I'm often with a serious expression though ...

    I look slightly younger than I am, if anything. SOME CERTAIN PEOPLE said I looked 12 years old. Well I don't know how they got that but anyways, younger if anything lol.

    Do you look your age? If so, are you satisfied with this?
    Yeah I look my age, or younger, but not older. I'm fine with it.

    Given the chance, would you change your appearance to look younger or older?

    Nope, the only thing I'd wanna change about my appearance is that I want just a liiiittle bit of a tan, because I have a very pale skin, always did, but my hair is black as well so I look like a ghost sometimes lol -__-.

    If you don't look your age, does it bother you? What do you think it is about you that makes you look younger or older (facial hair, "baby-like face", and so on)?
    Facial hair can do a lot, and like Kura said in a previous post to someone, it can even work the other way around of making you look younger than you actually are, if it grows in a certain way. A little chubbyness would also make you look younger I guess, I'm just a tiiiny bit chubby. But I like it so it's fine haha.
