Any pony feel me?

[rcollinz13 428]

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.

[FizzyImp 1,838]

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.

[Jalaton 155]

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]

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

[Wubsie 1,123]

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...

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]

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.

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

[Mirad 217]

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]

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]

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)

[miygaiya 138]

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.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

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

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

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.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

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.

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

[1mlpfim 70]

So what? I'm 14 and people believe i'm +18! Just because i height

11.25 "! I mean come on, there are adults that are so freaking tiny! oh well... :/

[hana 217]

YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

im 16 and people thinks sometime that im 25 or even more D:

be happy for looking so young, i want to be like you XP

[Tacit Moon 100]

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

[Coffee 4,323]

Well I think you look like your age, so I'm afraid I don't understand why they would think that

[Splashee 28,564]

A common problem for many.

However, you wouldn't want to look older than you are

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I get told a lot that I look younger than I really am, and it's annoying sometimes.

[Narcissus 354]

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. 

[Savy 5,077]

Mmm I feel you on multiple levels.

People say I look around 16, when I'm actually older than that lul.
