    I look so young. I'm 21 and I look like I'm 15 or 16 at best. People are surprised to learn I'm in college, and have my own apartment. I even sound young so sometimes somebody will call me and ask for my mom! looking young and sounding young is a bad combination and it makes it hard to find a girlfriend thats around my age too because I'm sure girls look at me and think I'm too young for them. I've had more then one person calling me a liar and forget buying alcohol or anything else that you have to older to buy because they think my drivers license is fake. One time I was buying cigarettes (I know bad for me) and they had 3 people looking over my drivers license and holding up the line of people behind me it was so embarrassing! I even hate putting pictures up online on myspace or here because I'm afraid they are going to think I'm lying about my age. People tell me I'll like it when I'm older but I hate it right now if I at least looked 18 it would be ok.

    does anybody else have this problem?

    When I was in high school, I looked way older than I was, and I was able to actually buy alcohol without getting carded. It was sweet!

    A little bit I guess. I think I'm starting to get more manly now though.

    biloved86, I feel your pain. People are surprised to learn that I'm a senior in high school when I tell them. They always have shocked expressions on their face. I'm usually mistaken for way younger. It sucks. I absolutely HATE when people respond with "You'll like it when you're older!". Thanks, I'll enjoy it in about... what? 10-15 years or so? Awesome! It gets me really aggravated.

    Well I think I look my age, but I don't sound like it. I get those phone calls all the time where people ask to speak to my mom. I say "I am the mom!" Have you tried changing your look a little bit to make you look older. Sometimes just a different haircut can do that.

    I work in a liquor store and I sometimes have a few older folks ask me if I was old enough to work there. Usually they quiet right up when I open my mouth and talk in my usual powerfully deep voice.

    The only person I've had to turn away because I've thought his ID was fake was a guy from some other country and his ID had the details written with ball-point pen. Maybe that's how they do things over there but that doesn't cut it here :grin:

    I've tried different looks and I don't like girly things like make up or jewelry, it doesn't work.

    Oh yes I certainly look younger than I am. I'm 21 too and I still get people telling me I look like I'm 17-18. I hate it too, for the same reasons. I'm sure I don't attract many girls my age b/c they think I look young. Unfortunately for me, I tend to like girls that are a couple years older than me, so looking young is not a good thing.

    I also hate it when people say I'll appreciate it when I'm older, uh maybe, but I don't think I'll care at that point.

    And I don't like makeup or girly clothes, which probably only helps make me look younger. Oh well, what can I do?
