<p>I wish I did...</p>

<p>I'm 16 but I only look like a 6th grader <- can get really annoying sometimes :(</p>

2

<p>Yes. I'm 18 and look it. :)</p>

3

<p>Totally know where you're coming from, I'm 18, but for some reason people ask if I'm 13/14, oh well...</p>

<p>I'm 17 but look... [url="<a href="http://photos-724.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v78/157/40/1092600055/n1092600055_30071724_5211.jpg%22%5Dyounger%5B/url"&gt;http://photos-724.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v78/157/40/1092600055/n1092600055_30071724_5211.jpg"]younger[/url&lt;/a&gt;]. I don't exactly have a voluptuous figure.</p>

<p>neither do I.</p>

<p>hence the 6th grader misconception.....</p>

6

<p>I'm 16 and I look like I'm 13. :>(</p>

7

<p>I'm 18. people usually say they think I'm 20-22ish.
I don't really believe it though. I feel like I look a bit younger.</p>

8

<p>I am 15. I look 15. I do not look 18. I have been asked to get a credit card. No, I do not want one. No, I am not old enough to get one. No, I am not lying about my age.</p>

<p>I'm actually told a lot that I look older, usually when wearing my glasses because apparently they make me look collegiate (no lie, I have been told that, in those words). </p>

<p>People always think that my mother and I are sisters. We have had people follow us in stores showing us to all their friends, like a circus or something. So, no, I am never going into Radio Shack with my mother again.</p>

<p>I bet if we took a poll, most people on CC would say that they look younger, or atleast that is my hypothesis.</p>

9

<p>I am 15. I look my age, if a bit taller. People tell me I've looked the same since elementary school, just older.</p>

10

<p>I'm 18, but I've been confused all the way up to 25. Guess taht's what happens when you're as hairy as an ape and you have middle eastern features...</p>

11

<p>im 17, when i wear my glases i look my age, but without it i lok 14-15</p>

12

<p>I'm 14. I look like I'm 106.</p>

13

<p>"I'm 16 but I only look like a 6th grader <- can get really annoying sometimes"</p>

<p>Same here. It IS very annoying. I'm completely flat, but I just joke about it =)</p>

14

<p>I've been told I look about a year or two older than I am but I think that's bull. You can't really tell 1 or 2 year's difference especially getting into late teens (16-19).</p>

15

<p>I don't know if I have changed, but last year everyone thought I looked younger. Now everyone tells me I look older! </p>

<p>I'm shorty, so basically I believe last year everyone thought I was younger because of my height. But now it is just the opposite.
It's not that I have grown up ( I wish!, but no way!),</p>

16

<p>I'm 21 but people say that I look 14 to 16. Occasionally I get 18 on a day when I'm wear more make-up than usual.</p>

17

<p>People said I looked like a college student ever since freshman year</p>

18

<p>^ man that would be cool :D:D</p>

19

<p>I look very old. People tend to think I'm 5-10 years older than I am since I was 13 (now 17). It makes it worse when I'm taking care of my 3 year old sister. Everyone thinks shes mine.</p>

<p>When I pick up the kids at this elementary school for an afterschool program, one of the kids' friends asked me if I was the kid's father. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted. But even more surprising, the kid himself has a different impression of me. I asked him if I looked like I could be his father... He got upset! hahaha. In his words, I'm "a kid acting like an adult." Many of the kids in the program, ranging from 6 to 10 years old, shared his impression. On my first day, many of the kids asked if I was a new student (they thought I was a seventh-grader). When I said I was already in college, they asked if I was some kind of genius who skipped high school. My own friends also have mixed impressions. Every time I get a haircut, they act differently towards me... one time, I asked what the deal was, and they said I look like I was 30 (I'm 19). I've observed that with long hair (not shoulder-length-long but disheveled-hair-long), people are generally more friendly towards me, presumably perceiving me as younger and more approachable. It's weird. But yeah, in other words, perceptions of my age differ from person to person and are sometimes influenced by hair length. I don't care much.</p>
