Looking young?

Has anybody ever felt that they look a bit too young?

I'm quite short for my age (5'7''-5'8'') and with regards to facial features, I look young, but I find it slightly repetitive and annoying when people mistake me for a middle schooler when I'm in the sixth form (especially annoying when you have a job..)

Well, I'm 17 but still a little baby-faced, so I know what you mean. I have a friend in year nine, whos in the school jazz band with me, and I was talking to him at school one day, when all his friends started tormenting him about me being his girlfriend, and when he told them not to be silly, and that I was in 6th form - they simply wouldn't believe him. they were insistent that I was in their year, and they'd just never noticed me before!
Kind of depressing that he's 13 ^-^*

I've been given the kids menu at Pizza hut- which is meant to be for under 12s, and then been asked by someone else if I was just starting high-school! The audacity of it all! This can sometimes be nice though- being thought of as young, that is.

I'm 18, but I look about 14 (check my pic) and my physique is about similar to a 13-14 year old...it's awful especially if you are a guy when you look like a tiny boy compared to your far more muscular and well built near-men peers...

I used to hate looking so young, I think from now on it'll be more of a compliment though! I'm 19 and 5 ft and have a roundish face, and hardly wear make-up (it'd probably make me look like a kid dressing up!) When I was 18 a girl who was probably the same age asked me for ID for the national lottery when i was buying it for my mum. Sigh. I work in a bar and a *customer* said to *me* 'have you got any ID?' What a joker. Grrrrr!
It's definitely not delayed puberty, since I started my periods in primary school.
My boyfriend is 25 and still gets asked for ID (for booze not the lottery!) sometimes, he's really glad as it shows he's still fresh faced and sprightly!
Sometimes I do worry that people might not take me seriously enough in a job but by the time it really matters I'm sure I'll have a few odd wrinkles.
