Looking too young

Scroll to see replies

I'm 21 and look more like 17/18 I think :mad:

Always get id'd everywhere I go. The other day I went along to a meeting with a supplier for work, they thought I was on work experiance, and they had the bloody cheek to ask me when the 'real' engineer was turning up.

What did you do? When they offered it to me I laughed and ordered a pint of lager.

I declined and asked for an adult's menu :p:

Great idea with the drink though! :yep:

I've been ID'd when buying a lottery ticket, even though I'm 20. I'd say it's quite hard to estimate my age, it depends what I'm wearing and how I've done my hair etc.

I'm nearly 20 and got ID'd when buying a lighter not long ago. Really not happy about that one. I'm regularly ID'd in clubs. Lots of people say I look young, but I guess it'll be a bonus in the long run :smile:

I was in my library getting books for uni and the librarian approached me and asked me if I wanted to join a reading group: For children aged up to 13 :eek:

I told her I was 18, she looked at me like "Riiiight you keep telling yourself that dearie"

I'm 17, depends on my haircut for how old people think I am. When I have a buzz cut people think I'm about 21, I guess I look around my age with my current hair (see profile pic).

Pre-brace and contacts people thought I was like 14 and I was 16, now I'm 18 and starting to look my age, when my brace is off hopefully I will look my age properly

I've had people (only about two or three) mistake me as University age. Which, in fairness, would only be a year away if I went in '09, but I'm only 17 and I feel like I'm going to "age" a lot in a year. But seriously, I don't look older than I am... or younger, even.

Actually, there's someone who still thinks I'm at Uni, doing English. What's he's done is assumed I meant Uni when I said college (as in, Sixth Form), and that I'm doing English when I meant amongst other things. Now it's going to look like I've lied. Oy, vey.
