I was the opposite. When I was 13 I looked like I was 23.

| I've always looked younger than I am. In high school I would get asked if I was a middle-schooler all the time; by the time I was a senior people would ask me if I was a freshman. Don't remember people asking me about elementary school though, then again, I might not have been too interested in it. |

I have always looked older than I really was.
My neighbor recently said I look like someone who is 28 and I was 18 at the time. That's probably on the account that I have a mustache.
Most of that is given to me because of my interests. Back in 8th and 9th grade, this one Japanese girl I used to talk to alot would always ask me for help on her history homework, and she'd help me on my science homework in return...sigh, but she moved though  , she was one of my very few friends in middle school who has never had bad words about me.

this used to happen to me as well, while in high school once the middle school was looking for me, (i guess someine thought a middle schooler was walking around the high school) and i was told by a woodshop teacher that teaches at both middle and high school that they were asking me to go to the office over the PA system. i had to tell him to tell them (the middle school) that i was a high schooler.
another situation happened at a deli along a county highway, i had went in to get a hoagie (basically a salad on a long roll) and as soon as i stepped up to the counter the owner had got into a panic running for the phone telling me that i should not be in her deli and to get back to school (this was back in 2003, i graduated the school in 2002) before she picked phone up and called the school district i had told her i graduated the school already and all school will tell you is that she graduated already (if they still had my records)
my mistake that day, entering the deli when the local board of ed schools were in session (between hours of 7:30 am to 3:15 pm)
great thing about being short and young looking, I was first in line to walk my high school graduating class into the recreation center of the state college during my high school graduation(they went from shortest to tallest)

yes.  . I have always looked younger. My senior year I was mistaken for a 14 year old. A lady at work just asked me if I'm driving yet, and I'm 18. |

Don't cry! Just imagine how cool it will be when you're 40 and you're still getting carded.

I have always been shorter than other people my age. For years people would tell me that I look younger than I really am. A few days ago I went to a store by myself. The store manager told me I couldn't be here unless I was with someone 18 or older. I didn't have any ID on me and I didn't think she would believe me if I said I was 18 so I left.
Some times it made me upset that I was so short. OMost of the time I like it, though. I tend to identify with kids who are younger than me. A lot of my friends are 2-3 years younger than me. Having a younger face means I look more like them and I don't stand out too much |

Most Latins and asians look younger than caucasian people because of the "prognastia", the high chick bones that streches our facial muscles. So I believe I look younger than the white people, but here it's normal. The problem is not the looks I think, it's the way I behaved, like going to the boy's toillet instead of the girl's many times.  Behaving under the expectative of my age was my problem. |

| I'm a sophomore in high school and I STILL look like an elementary student. I get asked all the time "How old are you?" or "Miss, do you have permission to be here?" Most people think I am 11-12 years old, when I'm 15 1/2. One advantage, though, is I get the kids price at resturants, recreation places (pool, skating rink, et cetera). |

I'm Canadian so elementary goes from grades K-8, and then highschool, there is no middle school in my area.
I have always looked younger, I am 15 currently in high school, if you ever see me... you'll think I look like a 11 or 12 year old. Yet, bullies have called me "little kid" for years.
