    I'm sure some of us have been mistaken for being years younger - or perhaps older - than we actually are. How old/young do you look for your age? Does it bother you to not look your actual age? Ever run into any problems, such as trying to get alcohol hehe? 8D

    I think I've looked older than I actually am for the most part, but I'm also pretty short. In a school uniform I used to look younger because of my height. That and my blazer was too big and would hang over my hands P;

    I think I look my age. My face definitely isn't young, but I don't look too old. I'm short compared to many of my classmates, so maybe from a distance I might look 12 or something.

    Nope not at all. I'm 21 and everyone thinks I'm 14 or 17. Whenever I tell people my age they're like "WHAT?"

    I'm 20 years old, & I've been mistaken for many different ages, ranging from anywhere in between 10 -16. I don't really find it annoying, however some people are very rude.

    I'm always mistaken for being a year or even two higher than I really am for some reason.. Even as a freshman in High School people always guessed I was a Junior or somethin. Never really knew why

    Most people tend to think that I'm around 18 years old, when I'm actually 16. I'm guessing that it's mainly because of my height.

    I'm a senior in high school and I still get mistaken for a middle schooler by relatives. I don't know if its because of my looks or my small/skinny frame, but it is kind of annoying. I guess I wont have to worry about looking too old when I get older though. Sometimes it has it ups and downs, but mainly it causes people to treat me more like a child even though I'm 17 and going to college this upcoming fall. <-< I am probably going to dread how people will think of me there...

    As for problems due to this, there was one time where I was almost not cleared to run a race because of a race official. For Regionals my freshman year, a race official was checking all of the girls' entries and checking identification and one of them stopped at me and interrogated me about my age, because he said I didn't look like a high school runner. The regional race I went to has very strict rules that for the seeded races only high school students can compete and he accused me of lying about my age since I didn't appear old enough. This caused a 20 minute process of re-evaluating my submission forms (manually) and finding my mom out of the HUGE mass of people to show him my ID as age proof. I almost missed out on running the race because of this, and it was really stressful because I spent so many months training. Thankfully after the race I felt better and got over it, but looking back at it, it always bothers me.

    I think I look younger than I actually am, but some people mistake me to be older. I was at a thing with my mom once and someone asked me if we worked at the same place. xD

    I think I look my age but people always tell me that they thought I was 17 or 18 which is kind of annoying.

    In the past few years I've started to finally grow into my age I think, when I was 16 - 18 a lot of people said I looked 14ish. But now, even though I still sometimes get carded for rated R movies hehe, I think I'm finally starting to look older, which is nice. I mean... I don't want to look super old, but being constantly told I look like a child or freshman was no fun c;

    I've always been evaluated as a year or two older, just my height and I dunno maybe a serious face or something.

    I think people, as far as I'm aware, think I'm older than I actually am, I don't know, I've never questioned it! I don't really care about age in most cases (except where drinking and smoking's concerned, that junk's pretty serious).

    Up until a couple of months ago, everybody thought that I looked like I was 13 years old. Cry.

    No, I don't look my age at all. People always tell me I look like a kid. Well, it's kinda expected though because I'm short and my face is kinda childish looking haha

    People tell me that I look like I could be 17-19 and I'm 16 years old. I'm quite the opposite of my twin XD
