<p>SO yea this has been an issue for nearly my entire school life. I have always looked atleast 3 years younger than I actually am. Im 18 and people lose their shit when I tell them I'm graduating form high school. The fact that I'll be going to college this year gets me a little worked up. I will look so out of place :'( And it doesnt help that I cant grow a beard.</p>
<p>Anyone else face this problem?</p>
<p>I Look 3 years older than i am.</p>
<p>People always tell me that I look like a 20-something. Lol</p>
<p>I’m graduating from college and I still look like I’m 16 (AND I’m going to be teaching high school for the foreseeable future). My best advice is to dress maturely and well. Clothes that fit well do wonders towards making you look older. You won’t be the only one who looks young.</p>
<p>I’m eighteen and I basically look my age (no one is surprised when I tell them how old I am), but I could pass for a few years older if I wanted to. </p>
<p>I look way older than I am and/ or I just act mature for my age. People always think I’m ~25, even back when I was 15 
Which is worse? People think I’m dumb because I’m in HS and look 25…</p>
<p>That feel when you look your age.</p>
<p>Like high school awkwardness, this is just one of those things you’ll have to wait out. In a few years, it’ll cease to be an issue. People will either assume you’re a college student, or that you’re an extremely smart high school student. Either one is nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of older ladies would kill to look three years younger so count your blessings ;)</p>
<p>I look young too- my mom always tells me I’ll appreciate that when I’m older and everyone else is aging.</p>
