rcollinz13 428 October 2, 2012 Share October 2, 2012 I know how you feel. It's really frustrating being a senior in high school, and having the teachers and students still think you are a freshman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizzyImp 1,838 October 4, 2012 Share October 4, 2012 I think you definitely look your age. I'm almost always getting ID'd for things like cigarettes and beer because I apparently look like I'm 15, when I'm actually nearly 20. I think this kind of thing where people seem to look younger than what they really are stems from movies. You'll almost always see a teenage character being played by an actor that's actually in their early/mid twenties, especially in lead roles where the character has to come across as mature. 2 "My breakfast is plotting to kill me."

Jalaton 155 October 4, 2012 Share October 4, 2012 This happens to me quite a bit, but it happens less now. I'm 15 turning 16 pretty soon and I have people who think that I'm in grade 9 or 8. I think they only think this cause I'm a little bit short, I think that my face looks more 'mature' than that of a 9th or 8th grader.

Rainbow-Crash 101 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 I like looking younger sometimes coz i get into venues for less money and stuff but at the same time i look above my age (which is 17) at times which is great for when im in the city so i guess this sort of thing never bothers me lol Anyway to me you look around 16 to 17 which isnt to far of but in anycase atleast when your older you'll still look younger and as cute as ever Sugar Sprinkles: 1 Everyone else thats the same age and looks older: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubsie 1,123 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 (edited) D'awww you look so adorable. I just want to hug you. :3 Anyways...you don't look 12 to me. Especially in that last one. I honestly have no idea why they would think your 12.. Some people say I look like I'm 18-22... Edited October 6, 2012 by ~Wubs~ 1 I Steam I PhotoBucket I Youtube I Ask Me Anything!

Creamy Arty 6,252 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 Aside from adding to the flood of people telling you you're cute... I have the opposite problem. I'm often mistaken for a 30 something, and that has it's own annoyances. That's a friend of mine. We're a month and 7 days apart in age, but ever since we were 16 he's been mistaken for a 30-something and people would think I'm his kid brother or something. Despite looking like he was 30 back then, I'd say he's aged well. Eight years later and people still think he's in his early 30s. I guess that's what really matters.

TessHM 15 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 (edited) I swear, whenever someone first meets me they assume I'm 16 or something. I think it's mostly because I already have something of a mustache and I'm really tall (5'8, I'm already taller than one of my parents). Though you don't really look twelve, Maybe 13/14.

Mirad 217 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 No. Why do they think you look twelve? And besides, if you have an I.D. (Which I'm sure you do) that tells them you are AT LEAST sixteen. To me, you look like you're 15 or 16, but why are people ignorant like that sometimes? It makes me think...

Guest October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 (edited) You don't look 12, if anything I'd say 16-17, but honestly from like 16-22 I'm pretty sure people don't change overly much. I actually have it the opposite way, when I go into restaurants alone, sometimes they assume I'm older than 21 and ask me about alcoholic beverages.

Marshmallow 1,137 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 (edited) No, you don't look 12 at all. You look about your age honestly. And you look really good by the way. And not kiddish at all! As for me, I'm a 19 year old guy but I'm frequently told that I look about 16. The fact that I can't grow anything close to a full beard yet probably doesn't help much though haha. But it does get pretty annoying when I want to go in bars or buy alcohol. I'm pretty sure there's never been a single instance of when I went to buy beer at the store for which I haven't been carded (except for the few times when I happened to know the cashier) Edited October 6, 2012 by Marshmallow "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."

miygaiya 138 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 When I was 14 (two years ago) I was told I look 17 or so, and now (16) I look 22ish. So I have pretty much the opposite problem you do XD Makes getting physical copies of vidya games easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638 October 6, 2012 Author Share October 6, 2012 Ugh, I'm the opposite, everyone thinks I'm in my mid twenties, when I'm only 16. But honestly you look to be around 17-18ish.... How tall are you? because that could have something to do with it. I am 5'5, which is a pretty average height for a woman. Too tall would be weird and too short would make you look a lot younger. But, i hate looking tooo young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 I have the same problem as you but differently. I'm rather tall for my age so when people see me they automatically assume I'm older than I really am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638 October 6, 2012 Author Share October 6, 2012 First of all, you look adorable. Secondly, you look older than 12, people who are saying that are just weird. However, I too have the same problem. People reckon it isnt my face thats making me look younger but my body. Apparently I got the body of a freshman which is degrading as hell since I'm turning 18 in two months Anyways yeah I feel yah My dad once told me that its great to look young cause when you hit 30 you're still gonna look like you go to college whilst a majority of others will start looking old as anything ^.^ I find it annoying. I cannot even say I am 18 without people questioning me or not believing me. I hardly lie about my age, only when I joke I lie. I have a friend who is 19, and pshh she looks younger than me. She is also very short as well D'awww you look so adorable. I just want to hug you. :3 Anyways...you don't look 12 to me. Especially in that last one. I honestly have no idea why they would think your 12.. Some people say I look like I'm 18-22... Yeah, I do not understand either. When I was 12, I looked like I was 10. I had no breasts, no adult features, and barely hit puberty. 12 year old kids around my town nowadays look 7...So idk where they are getting me looking like 12 from. I also do not wear 12 year old clothing. I wear adult clothing Hey wait 10 years years olds arent allowed on teh forums oh wait youre not 10 well you look like you're 10... Na you look 16-17 to me. Apparently I have a "baby face" so I know your pain... I think. The lady at the lottery place told me she needed to see my ID and I needed to friggin like pull that thing out of my wallet from out of my pants man what a pain... And Im 21 lool I will be getting my ID soon (Thank god) so next person thinks I am 12, 13 or something, will think wrong. I think I look 18. o.O and thats me telling myself. I am waaaay passed Puberty and stuff...so i KNOW i aint kiddish You don't look 12, if anything I'd say 16-17, but honestly from like 16-22 I'm pretty sure people don't change overly much. I actually have it the opposite way, when I go into restaurants alone, sometimes they assume I'm older than 21 and ask me about alcoholic beverages. Oh yeah, I had a from I met when she was 18. She was a Senior and i was Freshy. TBH, my friend looked 15. She was like 18. Now I am a Senior and she is in her 3rd year of college, she is 21 and still looks the same. 15 year old appearance. I guarantee she always gets asked to bring out her ID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacit Moon 100 October 6, 2012 Share October 6, 2012 I don't know.. I kinda feel like you're thinking about this the wrong way. Maybe you're 18 and you look 12. Or maybe you are 12 and you look 18... Maybe people think that you're quiet because you don't have anything to say, but you're just shy. Or you dyed your hair because you just really like purple, but people think you're just trying to be fashionable. uhh.. What I mean is, It really doesn't matter if people think you look older, or younger, or shyer, or.. uh.. fashionabler... I really think that you look like.. well, you! It can be frustrating when people make assumptions without knowing you, but thats just part of meeting people! The people that really matter are the ones that know who you are! The ones that know how old you are, what colors you like, and when you have something on your mind. Looking the way you look, and thinking the way you think are what make you you! If someone thinks you look younger than you are, or that you're shy, or mean, or something else that youn arn't, don't be sad that they don't know you! Tell them! Let them know who you are and how awesome you are! Maybe you'll make a friend!! And if they don't believe you.. ow well.. There are plenty of other people that would love to be your friend! I guess that went a little deeper than it should have But still applicable me thinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcissus 354 July 10, 2020 Share July 10, 2020 Looking younger than your age is a gift. Once people get older they wish they could have such a gift. You have your whole life to look old, but you can only look young once, so enjoy it. I never had that luxury because most people think I'm older than I am.
