I'm 26 years old, not 14!

I think I look about 17. My brother is 2 and a half years younger and we look very similar which can get annoying, because it makes me look younger. However, the facial hair allows me to look older, but when I shave it people say I look like a baby. >:c

...I turn 24 next month.
 
Before I changed my hair I guess I generally gave people the impression that I was a few years older than I actually was. Now that I've changed it, I guess I look younger--but they never did really indicate if I look younger than I actually am or younger than what I looked like before which seeing as how I looked older before doesn't explain much! It doesn't bother me at all. Hell, I wish the bouncers at the bars thought I looked older so I didn't have to be ID'd!

Ok, so maybe not a bar. But next year at the fair if I have a beard going I might just try my luck. I've known a few people who've done it so it shouldn't be hard!
 
I get ID'd for alcohol which I accept and expect because I'm pretty short, however I got ID'd for an energy drink the other day.

In the U.K. that's an age of 16.

I'm 22.

Yeah.
 
All the time unfortunately. When you're short you have to deal with everyone thinking you're in Elementary school. They worry about you too much, and it's embarrassing when someone else has to reach for something for you. That was the majority of my High school Freshman-Senior year. I'm 4'9 so i get constantly annoyed by people thinking i'm young or whatever. But then again, at times it can be very helpful ^_^
 
I'll be 23 in a couple months, but thanks to my height, people still think I am around 16/17 years of age. It's not fun, especially when I have my daughter with me. Those judgy stares and comments, man.
 
I'm 22, and without my facial hair, I pass for 18. With my goatee, I've gotten 24. And I look my age with my 5 o' clock shadow.
