I Look Young For My Age

This has held me back from getting jobs where you have to be 21, from getting rental housing because the landlord thinks I'm too immature, gotten me really dirty looks from other parents who think I must have been pumping out kids as...

Looking young has been an issue for me all my life. Growing up, I was often shorter than my peers and looked significantly younger. When I first started high school, I actually looked like I was about 10 or 11 years old when I was...

When I was around 14 and still in high school, people would think that I was around 17-18. That felt good. When I was 16, I was asked what college I went to. That also felt good.

Now I'm 19, and I hear comments like "Oh, you look so...

I was a preemie baby & I have CP (Cerebral palsy). I use a wheelchair as well. I am 5'3 & 108lbs. that s good thing because I have use my arms to get around . What bothers me the most is that people will always tell me, "You'll...

It eats away at me. I, for the most part, am a happy and friendly guy. I am motivated, going to school, and am really looking forward to starting my career soon. I feel that my age, 26, is perfect for where I'm at in my life because I...

Realistically, I look 8 years younger than I am.  At 41, I have great skin, with no wrinkles or even the hint of them. 
When I tell people that I have a 16 year old daughter, they are taken a back and tell me that I don't...

Today. I did my hair in the exact same style I wore it in high school and most of college.  I am now 37, but I look exactly the same as I did at 15.  I'm pleased in some ways, but a little taken aback.  I feel like at some point, I...

i know that i look young for my age and i consider myself lucky i look and act like i am 17 and that makes me happy pll don't believe that i am a 32 year old mother of two teenage sons

I'm 36, but I've been told I look around 22 or 23. People are always shocked when they find out my actual age.
I've begun noticing in the last few years that people treat me like I don't know what I'm talking about, and don't give me...

OK, for real, I'm not 12. I'm not a kid. I'm not my friends kid. I'M 26 YEARS OLD. I SERVED 2 TOURS IN IRAQ. I'M GROWN!!!
I wish people wouldn't judge on looks. (Not specifically anyone on EP) This is life in general...

Went to a bar last night to see a friend's band play, got carded (as usual), they told me I look about 19. Tomorrow I turn 32. Overall I don't mind the fact that I loook way younger than I am, especially being a musician because 32 is...

Still happens. People assume I'm 12-15 years younger than I am. Which is just fine with me now. Back then, it was such a nuisance to get carded. I tried to make the best of it, but I usually ended up annoyed.

About 10 years ago I was...

Hello, everyone, my name is Joey, and for many years now, I've felt that I look too young for my age.  It all started a few months after I turned fourteen.  I quit growing taller, and I thought my body was just taking a...

I am 20 years old , in third year of university and look like a kid of age 15.

So i was bored and i googled ''i look young man'' and finally came upon this site.

So, yeah. I'm a 21 year old guy from the Netherlands and i'm into my first year of university. Anyway, i look very young for my age. I'm quite short (1...

Every time I am out at a restaurant I get the drink menu (even though I'm 18), because outside of my circle of friends and age group, people see me as older than my age. But when I am compared to someone actually my age, I look younger...

I bought a bus pass from the bus driver the other month when my car broke down. I needed it so I could get to work. I paid for the pass and didn't look at it until I got off the bus at the other end. I had been given a school travel...

I am 17 and people mistake me for a 8 or 9. Yeah. Not kidding. -Sigh- I just can't catch a break.

I've always looked really young for my age. Probably because I'm half Filipino and my mom also looks really young for her age. Not only that, but I'm also pretty short for my age, so people are always thinking I'm younger then I ...
