<p>I’m 16. 17 in October. I think I look pretty close to 16, most of my friends do too. Once we were in Wal Mart and I bought a rated M video game (Call of Duty 4 - which you have to be 18 to purchase). Never was asked for my driver’s license, so I guess I looked 18+ haha.</p>
<p>When I was younger (14), I looked 16, but I think that recently my age caught up to my looks. Back then there were girls that were 14-15 that were telling me they were 16 because that’s how old they thought I was. When I told them I was 14, they were like…“oh…me too”. </p>
<p>A lot of my friends tell me I look like Lucas Black. If you don’t know who that is - it’s the QB on Friday Night Lights and the main character in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.</p>
<p>According to people who are actually in high school and know my grade, I look like the age I’m supposed to look. To people in high school who don’t my grade, I look about 2 years older. </p>
<p>To people not in high school (adults who I volunteer with), I look like I’m a college student. I personally think I look about 2-3 years older than I really am.</p>
<p>Alot of people used to think I looked two years younger than I am.</p>
<p>However working this summer at the hospital someone thought I was a medical student. Though it probably had less to do with me and more to do with the professional clothes I was wearing.</p>
<p>I am 16 but I look twelve. I hate it. When I go to church the adults try to send me to Sunday school. Some people feel I am not old enough to drink soda. Boys pass me by and my parents still baby me like an infant. I want to grow up.</p>
<p>I wasn’t going to post in this thread, but I’ve been volunteering at Stanford for the past few days and five people have asked me what college I go to. I think it’s because I’m “tall”.
…5’7.5"? haha. I don’t know.</p>
<p>I look super young b/c I’m skinny and I have small shoulders. I’ve told people I’m a senior and they’re shocked (I look like a soph/junior) Sighhhh!</p>
<p>Yay for captaincy and presidency in lots of clubs then. ^_^</p>
<p>I look older than actuality. When I first meet someone, they assume that I’m senior in college. They always are shocked when I say I’m a senior in high school.</p>
<p>I’m 17. People who first see me take me to be maybe 18 or 19. In countries with a drinking age of 18 I’m always served. I’m usually carded in America. People who talk to me for a while after meeting me tend to assume that I’m 21 or 22. This isn’t because I talk about quantum mechanics or anything, I just always come off as an older person through conversation.</p>
<p>Oh, and I appear 18/19 at first glance because of facial hair, and possibly my demeanor. I’m only 5’ 9".</p>
<p>I’m 16, and the guess usually is around there - anywhere from 14 to 18. Ditto on the conversation thing as ChoklitRain, not anything about intelligence but through simple conversation I’m perceived on the older teenage years.</p>
<p>And height IMO has little to do with how old you look, I’m average at 5’11 and I’ve gotten 14 a couple times (rarely now), and I’ve seen some of my shorter friends with certain facial features get called as old as 21. IDK, maybe it matters more for girls.</p>
<p>EDIT: I also find that (although this is obvious) the way you carry yourself, composure, posture, etc, somehow matters quite a bit from what I’ve seen.</p>
