    Looking young is bliss. Embrace it. And no, you don't look too young for your age at all. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I agree with the others, in your profile pic you look college age, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

    More broadly though, why would people view it as a "problem" if you looked younger anyway?

    I have that issue. I'll be 21 in a few months and I look like I'm 16 according to most people. People loveeee to card me for cigarettes and then look back and forth at me and at my ID real closely and I've even had people say that my ID wasn't me -_-.

    XD they dont have a problem with it. I have a problem with it cauz people would ask for my ID and not my friends. I went to the Gym for the first time and the receptionist thought that i was 15 year old so she ask me if i had someone with me because the policy says that people under 17 needs supervision.

    -Sorry if i have any misspelling XD

    I agree with everyone else that says that you don't look younger you look college age. Maybe even 18-19 of age, the people that say you look 13-15 must be blind haha :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Well asking for ID doesn't necessarily mean anything. It might be their policy to ask anyone who looks like they are under 30 to present ID. That's how it works with IDing for alcohol purchases around here. Or it might just be an asshole receptionist who wants to make your life miserable.

    As people here have said, you do NOT look like a 15 year old, perhaps some of these folks you've encountered need to get new prescriptions for their glasses.

    I look younger than my sister who is 5 years younger than me. This is what usually throws people off. They'll guess my age somewhere in the teens (16-18) I think? When I was younger, I was mistaken for an older age. Especially when I was in my preteens. That being said though, I currently weigh less and am still the same height as when I was 11 years old - so that might have something to do with it.

    Oh you're so lucky! Just imagine it this way - people will think you're a kid and maybe you can get away with things that adults can't lol.

    You look beautiful. Yeah, people always think I'm younger too. I understand the frustration. Maybe you could wear makeup to look older?

    People tend to give me a year or three more in person. When they call for me on the phone and I answer they ask for my son. I dont have a son, I'm ******** Jr.

    i have the opposite deal, but its not a problem. Looking older is a bit of an advantage at a younger age, i donno why, but it feels like an advantage. You shouldnet worry like these people say.

    I have that problem a lot. I usually get mistaken for being 14 or so. The other day, someone on facebook claimed I looked ten. I"m not entirely sure if they were being serious or snarky though.

    I pretty much hate it. It's hard to get people my own age to take me seriously, but I expect that has to do more with my short height.

    I get people thinking I'm older a lot. I worked on a sailboat for a month, a few weeks back, and when people would come on the boat, they would ask my age. I always told them I was a senior, and they assumed college, not high school. the highest guess was 24. I was stoked.
