Appearance

I am starting college in September (aged 16-19). The problem is that I look and sound like a 13 year old. I can't physically change my face so what can I wear to make myself look somewhat older.

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit insecure. I also have what may be considered a 'babyface', but I like to tell myself that as I get older, I will still look younger for my age which always makes me feel more confident. Also, everyone develops at different rates and while you may feel that everyone is noticing your features, they are most likely not as perceptive as you may think. I think that you should choose clothes which you feel comfortable in and confident rather than what might make you look older, as confidence is beautiful and when you feel good, you look good.

Good luck for the beginning of college! I hope that helped.
