How old do you look?

Mon Feb 19, 2007 8:57 pm

One of my older brother's friends thought I was 17(I'm 15), but I would have thought I looked younger than I really am. Maybe I don't. I don't know. I'm bad at judging age anyway.

People have guessed I was anywhere from 12 to 15, and are always completely shocked when I tell them Im nearly 20. Its partly because Im short and tiny, and maybe because I have a really round cute kind of face shape. I get carded before buying lottery tickets, cigarettes, movie tickets, anything at all.

When I visited Minnesota, a guy asked to see my ID in order to buy a PG-13 sci-fi compilation from the 70's. I didnt think I'd need to have my ID for a trip to a used movie store, and couldnt buy the stupid thing in the end.

I've always looked much younger than my age, maybe because I've got a chubby face and wear no makeup. For the longest time people kept thinking I was 3-4 years younger than I was. Now I've let my hair grow past my shoulders and it does give me a more mature look, but I still carry my ID everywhere, just in case.
I think I took after my mother. She's an uni teacher, but not too long ago she walked in the bookshop to ask about a course book, and the shop owner thought she was a student.

Hmm, well that depends, actually, when I was in elementary, I passed a test because I was smarter than the other kids, so they sent me one year higher. So now, I'm in Grade 9, but I'm the same age ... of a usual Grade 8. (14) So, of course I have always looked younger than my friends, but not younger than my age...
But now, in parties and stuff, people always think I'm older. Actually, some people from family or parent's friends came home the other day and they were like : Oh! My god, it's been a while Caro, look at you now, all grown-up! You're sixteen since december right?
Me: Huhh, 14.
Them : Oh my god, I woulda swore you were 16, you soo look older than your age, dear.

I guess that answers? lol
And on online games, people say I'm very mature, so until the day I tell them I'm 14, they all think I'm 20.

o_o Woah. I thought you were a lot older than 10! I figured you were about 15 myself. You're very mature for your age. :O

Sophomores are the sneaky, evil kids in high school.

I am too innocent.

I dunno. oO

What do you think?

(from Halloween, which is why my hair (and everything else, in general) looks weird)

And if you already know, don't say what my age actually is- though I'm fairly sure everyone here already does know, so... yeah.

Yeah, I thought the same. People have told me that I'm mature for my age before, too.

Well, I've got chipmunk cheeks and long hair, but I'm pretty tall, so I've heard everywhere from 13-28 in the past few months.

A girl in my Chemistry class last semester heard me say I was homeschooled and thought I had said I homeschooled my kids. I asked her how old she thought I was and she said late 20's. Most people are about that age in the class, but it was odd. Of course, my acting prof said I could pass for 13 or 14 a few weeks ago.

I'm actually 17.

I can pass for about 16, 17 at the most...which is quite nice...

I'm actually 13....

Its annoying though because I'll go to buy a childs train ticket and they all ask me to prove I'm under 16...so I have to show them my oyster photocard. >_<
