Back while I was at secondary school (2011-16) I found some photos, taken around 2002-2008, of the school, and pupils at the school. I don't know if it was just me, but the pupils, in particular the boys, looked a year or two older than most look now. If anything, I noticed a change in the way teenagers looked in about 2013. While I was in Y7/8, a lot of the pupils at the school didn't appear (hairstyle/facially) that different from those in these photos, but from about 2013 onwards they started to look younger and somewhat better groomed. What happened there?
I'm not trying to cause offence to anyone, rather I'm simply curious if you've noticed the same, and if people simply look "younger" now due to my perception, or if young people actually looked a year or so older a decade ago.
