<p>I'm 17, a senior. I was getting my hair cut today, and the barber asked "So are you in Middle school, or have you started high school?"</p>
<p>I was completely and utterly surprised. Apparently I look 14, hmm?</p>
<p>Does anyone else look young/old for their age?</p>
<p>I look young for my age.</p>
<p>I look a little young for my age. Can’t really help it though. So I don’t really pay it any mind. -shrug-</p>
<p>I look older if I don’t shave. I think.</p>
<p>When I shave, I look about my age, maybe younger.</p>
<p>I’m 17 too and get 15 all the time.</p>
<p>I think I look exactly my age.</p>
<p>“So, excited about senior year?”
“What… Do I know you?”</p>
<p>I grew really, really fast when I was 10-13, and was the tallest person in my class. Then I stopped growing (5’11") and everybody else caught up. When I was 14 people would ask if I had a license, think I was repeating grades, stuff like that. Now I’m 17 and look normal for my age.</p>
<p>I’ve received mixed responses. Some people think I’m 14, others think I’m 18.</p>
<p>I’m 17, and I could easily pass for 13-14. I still kind of have a “baby face.”</p>
<p>People think I’m a lot older. I was in a suit on a Sunday and in Target and someone came up to me and thought I was the manager… people apparently have mistaken me for a teacher… and when I went to a restaurant with some “business” friends with my dad sitting right beside me the waiter asked if I wanted some beer and he gave me a separate check. Oh, and I showed up to a board meeting of this non-profit organization. After sitting there for over an hour they voted me in. Apparently they thought when I said I was in school they thought I meant as a graduate student (obviously people under 18 can’t be board members of non-profits by law). </p>
<p>I really don’t think I look very old.</p>
<p>I definitely look young. I was the president of the security council at an international conference and my delegates all asked me how I got to be president so young. I was confused because I was a senior. They all thought I was 16. :]</p>
<p>I look older. Not weathered, but a lot of people think I’m at least 21.</p>
<p>When I was at a wedding when I was 14, the bartender gave me a rum & coke cocktail (I had asked for merely Coke). I told I’m 14 & don’t drink, but he may’ve been wasted or something haha:D</p>
<p>I guess that I look older (no full beard or anything lol), since people ask which college I’m in, how I like living away from home, etc. Btw, I’m a rising junior haha. I hope that I don’t look too old, don’t want others to think that I’m like Greg Oden or LeBron James lol :D</p>
<p>^haha, that sounds really funny. Last week people asked me if I worked at a lighting store when I was picking up an order for my mom (I was wearing a polo & khaki pants).</p>
<p>Well, I’ve gotten both. Just tonight, my friend’s dad asked where I was going for college this fall, even though I’m only an incoming junior. But that’s probably because I was hanging out with all seniors, haha. Another incident was my uncle tried to get me into a movie theater for a kids price (11 and under), and the lady actually thought I looked like I might have been 11 or 12, but I’m pretty sure she wasn’t all up there. So really, idk, haha.</p>
<p>For guys, facial hairs make all the differences.</p>
<p>^True, but even when I have shaved (and prior to shaving at all), people have thought me to be older. I guess it depends on the person lol. I kinda have a big head, enhanced by long hair. Maybe that’s why?</p>
<p>What’s my age again?</p>
<p>Young face.</p>
<p>I look older than I am. I’ve never worn make up so people have assumed I was in college since I was about 13 (being 5’11" in 8th grade doesn’t help either).</p>
<p>Younger, I think. Not older though.</p>
