    Same goes with me and my family. We don't look anything like our age, when I get to meet different people they would always throw the overused question and would be shocked when I tell them my age. I'm 20 and people always presume that I'm a 13-15 year old.

    Same here, I'm 20 years old, 5'2" and 108 lbs. But it has its advantages; I'm a nursing student and I do clinicals at a hospital near my college. When patients ask me how old I am I sometimes like to freak them out by saying "I'm 14, my mom left me in the break room and I'm really bored so I figured I'd put on this scrub I found and play doctor, it says here that the nurse has to draw your blood, I guess I'll just go ahead and do that for you".

    Your family sounds a lot like mine. When my grandpa finally passed away the people he knew in town said he was too young to die and were shocked when they found out his age. I'm a chick so looking young doesn't bother me but I can imagine how it would bother a guy. Just be patient, you'll look older eventually and you'll be happy when you are 60 and look 30. :)

    I know how you feel. I don't think I've changed appearance wise myself since 14. I'm serious, I'll look at some pictures, and I'm shocked at how unchanged I am - even after 6 or 7 years! Like you, growing facial hair helps a little bit, and I'm grateful I can grow the little bit I can. And I feel you on how it sucks to feel younger than the girls. Within the past few months or year, I've felt uncomfortable about the thought of my old classmates growing up and looking like adults while I still look like a teenager. It just kind of sucks.



    Anyway, as far as your family goes, I think it's great that everyone seems so healthy and active. It's cool that your grandma can move around without assistance at 90 (a lot of people can't do that), and I'll bet it's cool that your dad can do stunts at his age - something I'm sure a lot of people wished they could do. With your family in good shape, it's likely that you'll end up the same way, so there's a plus right there at least.
