Heh, yeah. Missguessing someone's age is always an awkward experience. ;-_-

JENIFHER 08-08-2008 06:15 AM

haha, i actully get mistaken for being older. just about around 18. (: im just 16 though . hahaha .

but my older sister gets mistaken for being younger .

rockin904 08-08-2008 07:04 AM

Ditto. I also have been mistaken for being older many time but it's actually the result of lack of sleep and heavy stress and constant thinking. I need a break ....... really.

I get mistaken for 14-15 and I'm 17, so it's not that bad. I have two friends that are 15 and both look like they're older. It's funny when people guess our ages.

I'm 24, and I still get carded for everything :/ ... I like it! :squee:

ive accually been mistaken for being older alot of the time! i hate it when that happens because it catches me off gaurd and takes time to get my ID out to prove that im a certain age. its happened many times at the cinemas when watching a movie: i go buy a child ticket and they ask for ID because I look older than 13 -.- that happened years ago though because im 17 now.

my friend on the other hand, she just turned 18 and she is barely 5 foot tall! so she is always asked for ID poor thing =3

Last year, someone told me that I looked like a 14-year-old (I'm already 17; just do the Math)

I don't really care about being mistake for a kid since sometimes other people think that I'm older than my actual age (people are really strange sometimes)

Some people seem to think that I'm still in high school. I'm in my second year of college, but I'm short and my face is round so it looks really young. It's kinda cool though.

Once, when I was 12, I went into this cab with my mom. I was minding my own business, staring out of the window when the driver looked at me and asked my mother nicely,

"Is your daughter in K2 (Kindergarden Two)?"

I nearly choked and punched his face. Me, KINDERGARDEN TWO!? That'd be just about 5 or 6!

Honestly, I wanted to shove my chest in his face and say:

"DO 5-6 YEAR OLDS HAVE BOOBS LIKE I DO!?"

And my mom couldn't stop laughing and teaseing me when we got home.

When I was younger, sort of 12 - 13 years old people always though I was about 18 or 19 o_o
I had my growth spurt early, so I was 6 foot by the time I was 13 plus I'm very hairy, so had to start shaving young and I have the sort of Homer Simpson, shaving and by the time I dry my face the stubble's grown back, type thing going on xD I'm a guy by the way (in case anyone looks at my avatar and wonders why a woman has to shave like that lol) So... yeah.
Worked out well for me. I used to hang out with older kids and got all my wild stuff out of the way early in life. By the time I was legal to drink and stuff, I was no longer interested as I'd been there and done that xD

Meretricious Death 08-08-2008 02:44 PM

I'm really short, and quite urh...ahem, big for my height and age. I'm 5ft 1 and thats quite short for the girls in my school...all girls school, btw.

I want to be 165cm, that's my dream height...154cm now, 11 cm to go. My mom's 163cm.

Ahh, short Asians. And I look much younger due to my new haircut.

Sometimes being young is good, but it has a lot of disadvantages too.

Getting a part time job is difficult, for one.

Sunariya 08-08-2008 08:50 PM

People only tell that I look younger when I'm standing with my sisters. I just barely turned 18 and my sisters are about 2-3 years younger that me.

Most people think I'm still in elementary school, when I'm actually in my late teens. It gets kind of annoying, because I don't think I'll still look this young when I'm older, so when people say that I can't take it seriously. Oh well. :/

Narcissistic 08-08-2008 09:14 PM


No, I don't think I've ever been mistaken for younger. I am short, but I don't think my face looks younger than I am, although it might be flattering once in a while to be mistaken for someone younger.

As a matter of face, I saw a secret on postsecret once. I believe it said: "I card middle-aged women, because I like to think it makes their day." I believe it mentions something about a club/bar/pub. It's in one of the postsecret books, I believe.

nemesiss 08-08-2008 09:57 PM

people still think im barely 20. while im already 27...

yukiaine22 08-08-2008 09:59 PM

Everyone thinks that I'm a freshman in high school when actually I'm 22.

Sanctuary 08-08-2008 10:02 PM

When i was younger, people always thought I was younger and now, even though my brother and I are four years apart and I'm turning 18 people guess that both of us are 16!

What the fluff!?

Yummeh 08-08-2008 10:11 PM


LOL ~ People usually think I'm like 2-3 years older than I am. D:
It's probably because I'm really tall for my age. o.o
It gets pretty annoying sometimes. D:
But I'll stop growing one day and look like my actual age. XDD ~

People sometimes think my dad is my brother. O___O;;
Shocking ~ XD That's like twenty years younger. lol

RockBand 08-08-2008 10:14 PM

nope never only older since i am so tall lol
but my friend that's going to grade 7 people say that she is in gr.2

Silence 08-08-2008 10:48 PM

I'm sixteen, but I'm often mistaken for being a bit older. I don't know what most people think, though, as people generally don't go around telling me how old they think I am.

Wickedpan-chan 08-09-2008 12:45 AM

Emira 08-09-2008 01:22 AM

I'm not sure how old people think I am. Maybe 14-16.
I am going to be 18 in about a month and a half, and I'm 5 foot.
I got a lip ring almost a year ago, and I think it makes me look a bit older, because this year at a local parade, I hardly got any candy. It was so sad! =(

Ginger 08-09-2008 02:33 AM

Im 17, but im get mistaken for being an 'middle schooler' or an 12 year old. Honestly...! =[

Michy Lea 08-09-2008 05:18 AM

The last time my mom was in the hospital, in January, an old guy kept talking to me, asking me if I go to school with his grandkids or know them or whatever. It turns out, he thought I was 13. I'm 21.

a_shy_girl_1999 08-09-2008 05:22 AM

I sometimes get mistaken for being younger and its fine with me. I'm 25 and sometimes people think I'm still 18-19 yrs old.
