    I'm 17, and with long hair people think I'm really young. Although with short hair people assume I'm much older. I'm now middle length hair, and I'm 5'7, so middle-ish height, hmm.. idk how old I look *cries* :frowning2:

    I'm eighteen. I have teenage complexion, so I don't look ridiculously older or younger than I actually am.

    I think my voice reveals more about my age than my appearance. I tend to talk in a lower, more mature voice when I first meet someone or am talking to an authority figure. But if I'm projecting, or sound excited, my voice can go pretty high and make me seem fifteen, I'd wager.

    I'm also slightly short (slightly!), so that may affect my appearance too.

    I'm 13 and when I tell people that they rarely believe me. They usually think I'm 15ish IDK why though because I am SHORT. I guess I do act pretty old and I am in some hard classes. People overestimating my age doesn't really bother me though. The thing that gets me is people thinking i am a guy. I mean, sure, I have short hair, but I also wear pink and have boobs. People are so stupid sometimes.

    I'm 20 and people keep asking me what I did after I got out of college! I've been told anywhere from 25-35. Someone said 37 but he was pretty drunk.

    I'm not yet 17 (two months!) but the other day I got asked if I wanted to go out for some drinks with the new girls at work. I was like "errr how old do you think I am?" and the go "Oh...23, 24??" I just said "I'm not even 17!!"

    So yeah - I can look up to 7 years older then I actually am!

    15. Sometimes I get pegged for as low as 13, sometimes as high as mid-20s. LOL. It didn't do me much good with my ex, though - I was 14.5, he was almost 18. Neither of us knew how old the other was till later. ><

    I am 18 now, but back when I was 15 the librarian thought I was pushing 30! I don't know what was more embarrassing; the fact that she thought it or the fact that she told me to my face!

    As far as I know, I am fourteen.

    However, I have been given a kiddie menu once, and was often mistaken for being in sixth grade when I was in eighth.

    In contrast, someone once thought I was my mother's boyfriend.

    i once in the same day managed to buy a child's bus ticket (putting me at under 16) and buy alcohol from a shop which stated they would id anyone who looked under 21...and they didnt id me. So yah...im thinking that is a fluke and i look younger than i am.

    I look a lot younger than I am. It's a mixture of my face shape, hair colour and the way I'm short and skinny. And I've finished growing now as well.
