Im sick of people asking my age

I know other people complain about the same problem but Im 25 now and people say I look 10, others say I look 15 but Ive had no higher than this. Its so weird as I have a twin but she looks her age according to people, then again we dont really look alike anyway. My collegues at work say that I look about 10/12 and that they couldn't believe it when they found out my age. The thing is I get sick of kids asking how old I am and talking about me like today I was walking down my street and saw some kids (16/17 year olds) who looked familiar and heard them say 'omg its her, shes 25' another said 'is she 25 she looks about 9?' then one of them said 'excuse me do you mind if we ask how old you are' I told them and they said 'ok thanks' then I heard talking and laughing. I wouldn't mind if it was just a one off but its regular Ive not a clue how people who I dont know find out my age and I hate the way they look. Adults are not so bad once they know my age but Im sick of being asked how old I am! Any advice:o: Btw it doesnt help that I have the confidence and social skills of a 10 year old but yea I just feel like a freak.

You complain now, but when all your peers are turning 50 and crying over looking so old...you'll be loving your young age-defying look :cool:

Get a tattoo...... On your forehead
Hey, don't worry about it! I get asked if I want a childs ticket on the train still - doesn't bother me - cheaper public transport! :p: looking young isn't all bad!
Ignore them - who cares about what randomers in the street think anyway. I'm sure you look great anyway, so shrug it off and ignore them. Be happy that in 20 years everyone will be be green with envy at your youthfulness :biggrin:

I'm 21 and look about 12, maybe even 10 at times haha :smile: Like everyone says, (hopefully) it should really work in your favour when you're 30, 40, 50!

Don't worry there is somebody out there for everyone, but sadly in your case it will have to be a paedophile
i dont understand how you can look that young? Are you really short?
I don't even get ID'd for drink anymore and I'm only 22 :'(
