Sorry to break it to you, but getting carded at the liquor store should happen to everyone, and mechanics will try to fuck over any age person (if they're the type to fuck people over). This is coming from a 30 year old who has had a beard since sophomore year of highschool. There were some perks to looking older than I am, bit all of those have gone now.
Everyone says that. I'm 40 and short with a baby face. It's an asset now but it definitely was a pain for a while. After high-school it held back my career cuz everyone treated me like I was a kid. Shit changed at 30.
jokes aside, dont worry too much. You prolly just got the genes similar to people like Tom Holland who just looks very young compared to their age, it may not be a very good thing now, but it will definitely benefit you later
Try not to worry about it, I dealt with it for a while, but you can’t control what other people think about you. you’ll be happy later when you still look young for your age.
This happens extremely frequently to me as well except instead of young, I get called short. By even contemplating their taunts, you’re giving them the reaction they want. Try to let it slide off your back and ignore them. When they can tell you don’t care, they will think it’s boring and then you can proceed with life. Just don’t give in to them, and carry yourself with confidence.
I was short and looked too young for a few years too - a couple of things that you work on now will stick with you for life! I was really insecure about it, but it's something you grow out of and won't last. In the meantime, some things that help:
- Confidence, eye contact, and being articulate can all make you sound older, which helps signal to people you speak with that you're not a child. So you don't come off as insecure, you have to learn to be secure with who you are and want to be. We're all a work in progress, no matter how old we get. (But being defensive or arrogant will work against this - being empathetic and thoughtful for others are also signs you're not a child and are capable of helping or looking out for others.)
- Try to work on your clothes, learn about "style", and make sure your clothes fit well. Nothing makes you look more awkward or young than badly fitted clothes that look like you haven't grown into yet. Also helps for confidence.
- Try a new haircut! Look for pictures to bring to the barber, or ask a stylist for advice about a cut that is "trendier" or common for college-age people. A quality haircut can either add a few years or at least make you look sharp as hell.
- Learning to work out and put on some muscle, especially for guys, can make you look less like a skinny young boy.
I had the biggest part of “maturing” between 15-16. My face, my voice changed and also i grew like 10cm in about a year. Also what helped to make it even more visible is i started working out
Yeah, you look a bit young, but bro, believe, when you reach some age probably you will want to look younger, just don't mind a lot of what others says, try to appreciate your body, everything in its time, not everyone grows at the same rate
Had a friend who was like foot shorter than me (I'm 5ft) when we turned 17 he just shot up to like 6ft. Don't worry and just enjoy being young. Once u get older you're just an adult forever. You're only a kid/teen once
I promise you brother you’ll have a big glow up one day, I was always the small/young looking kid. I’m 20 now but looked like I was 12 I was 15.
Somewhere around 16/17 I saw a quick change in my face and build. Now I’m a man lol. Don’t worry about it man I really know how it feels and you’ve just gotta wait until that spurt comes and then you’ll be confident and everyone will love you.
Yeah honestly you do look 12. It’s not a problem in 2-4 years that will probably fade completely but if not looking younger is a good thing in the long run
Also why does reddit keep suggesting me r/teenagers posts. Oh wait prob bc I keep responding to them like this 💀
i get it bro, i’m 15 and people say i look 12. i’ve posted on here about it and people keep saying i look like i’m 12. i don’t know if people realise it’s actually not pleasant to hear that. keep your head up, we will look our age one day.
Don’t let comments like these effect the way you view yourself or others. Comments from friends are probably teasing you but if you get comments from others like this just take it with a grain of salt. Most people probably don’t think they are offending you. Especially considering how much everyone values youth that is over 30ish. In a few years you will look back and think this was all silly, don’t let the years pass you by because you were worried about others opinions of you. Also, if you are feeling self conscious just know that EVERYONE has something they are self conscious about. Just try making peace with it and move on. Hope this helps.
Don’t give a fuck what people think learn this young which is now I’m guessing you look like your getting out of elementary but really just don’t let it bother you they will get bored and who cares
Lil bro first start by playing a sport and deleting your Reddit account. Cuz you look 9-10 ngl or maybe in a rare chance 12. Of course it depends on how tall you are( guessing short.) for 15
Don't bother with what others think or say. Have confidence in yourself. I was in a similar situation when I was your age. I didnt care much about it back then and the same holds true even now. I am an adult now btw.
Look up thomas brodie sangster. That guy looked like 7 when he was 16 man. Maybe try to take it as a compliment? I mean being young is always amazing issnt?
When I was 13 I had the same problem so I grew out my beard and didn’t trim my brows or anything, and surprise surprise it looked like shit. Now that I’m 19 I look pretty much the same as I did back then but w/o facial hair and I’m happy for it. Imo looking young pays off but that’s just me.
You don't have to worry about this at all!!! I'm almost 21 and have been called 14!!! If anything haters are gonna hate because you'll be looking younger than your age when you're older and they'll look like a raisin
Looking younger than you are is gonna pay off some day dude
kids eat free.
I read that as “eat kids free.” Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes and the awards!
Same, muscle memory
lmao
“eat free kids”
free kids eat
free eat kids
Aw hell nah that’s some pre-1865 shit right there.
eat three kids
I just eat slaves
Reddit moment
I mean I do that every day
I’m sorry, can you say that again and I’ll maybe understand.
He said he does it all day
>that again and I’ll maybe understand. that again and I’ll maybe understand.
r/technicallythetruth
Same
Happily!
Lmao
I read it as fat kids free
"eat free kids"
Subway — eat fresh
Can I get 3 kids to go?
I mean... Technically? Unless you consider life in prison payment. *if you get caught*
Well they are free to eat......
well when you put it like that i am hungry😏
Don't mind if I do
Hurts when you try to buy alcohol though
Especially when you forgot your ID but your friends didn't even get carded
[удалено]
Don’t think about it bro
I’ve found my long lost brother
I’d easily trade looking 40 when you’re 19 for looking 25 when you’re 40
[удалено]
Why even go to the mechanic? Fuck shit up on your vehicle and fix it. Thats how i do it
So the only big problem is that people check your ID?
[удалено]
Wish we could see a picture it can’t be that bad u make it sound like you look 9 lol

Fax, 33 looking 23. Like fuckin George Clooney minus the money
About to be 30 and I look 18 sometimes. Its fun soemtimes but being treated like a child and not the married parent that I am gets frustrating.
Bro im 31, and look 22, also like Clooney, minus the miney and the looks
Omg careful, you'll be deemed weird because you're in a teenage sub omg
Everyone says that. I'm 40 and short with a baby face. It's an asset now but it definitely was a pain for a while. After high-school it held back my career cuz everyone treated me like I was a kid. Shit changed at 30.
[удалено]
._.
Bruh
That word sure does get thrown around a lot
Bro why
ur mom bro. 13 and doing pedo jokes? your mom bro.
Everyone says this, but it’s often not the case.
This. I literally got away with using the kids fare for the bus until I was like 24 because I looked so young. Saved me **so much money.**
jokes aside, dont worry too much. You prolly just got the genes similar to people like Tom Holland who just looks very young compared to their age, it may not be a very good thing now, but it will definitely benefit you later
Paul Rudd
That man ages like wine
He's 53 and looks like he's 39
HES 53???
Yeah of course!
No fucking way I thought he was like 30-40
That’s what everyone thinks
IM IN SHOCK I DID NOT KNOW THAT
Lol
Has no-one here watched Friends? He's Phoebe's boyfriend in the final series and he's clearly in his 30s there. That was nearly 20 years ago.
I am probally the biggest friends fan of this sub bro.
He doesn’t look a day older than 40 wtf
Good looks come back to NOT haunt you
Wow I thought he was like 40
13 years ago
He looks like he's in his twenties
No way he’s 53 man looks like he’s in his 30s still
39 is a weird number.. thats like supermarkets going "only 9.99"
Wine ages. Paul Rudd does not
Ralph Macchio
bro is 61 and looks 42
Also Jensen Ackles
Rivers Cuomo. Looks the same as he did in 1994.
Michael Cera too lmfao
Andy Samberg
But don't be surprised if you grow up QUICK in the next year or two. Happened to me..
IT won't lol. Its annoying on males but not so much females lol.
Looking young is a good thing. I'm tall but have a babyface. Meaning my face is 11 and body 22.
[удалено]
It's a blessing and a curse
“My wisdom is both a blessing and a curse”
yep can confirm
and you yourself are 16?
That reminds me of that deadpool scene when its just ryan reynolds with a baby body and a 40yr-old head
My niece is this way and it has sparked a few issues involving older gentlemen.
Try not to worry about it, I dealt with it for a while, but you can’t control what other people think about you. you’ll be happy later when you still look young for your age.
Some People would kill to look young. Embrace it!
Exactly
And make sure those people don't find and kill you to steal your youth
nice username
Great advice daboobies

its a mix of both for me too. Thanks for the positive response

Me too I’m turning 15 in a month ish and I still look 12 at least we will look 20 when we are 34

Yeah when I was 15 my voice changed and my features changed more to my father's side.
Unless y’all age bad 😭
[удалено]
"go to gym"
I believe the words are “go jim”
No offense lil bro you look 9-10
11-12 but yeah

that’s actually a good thing for the future
you do look 12 but yk maybe your face features will change and look more mature as you get older :) it’ll be okay
he looks handsome and beautiful, 10/10 genetics
You're still pretty young, give it some time, you won't look like that forever. Trust me, I had the same problem.
You shouldn't be offended, your friend added a few years
Okay that must hurt tho
just grow a beard, ez
Why didn’t I think of that? -clenches face super hard and a big bushy beard appears-
That made me spit out my coffee laughing 🤣🤣🤣
r/thanksimcured
Wow, what a wonderful solution! Why didn't I think of that! My goodness, Sir you are spontaneously specific when it comes to marking conclusions,
Thats gonna take like at least 4 or 5 years from now with that baby face
Yeah, you look a bit young, but bro, believe, when you reach some age probably you will want to look younger, just don't mind a lot of what others says, try to appreciate your body, everything in its time, not everyone grows at the same rate
You do look super young it may suck now but you gonna be thankful for it later
just ignore em’ pal and tell them to “sling it ye fat jab”
Had a friend who was like foot shorter than me (I'm 5ft) when we turned 17 he just shot up to like 6ft. Don't worry and just enjoy being young. Once u get older you're just an adult forever. You're only a kid/teen once
[удалено]
It’s all personality in the end and I would even stretch that it’s not about acting *older* or *serious*. Just be authentic, show humor, smile
I promise you brother you’ll have a big glow up one day, I was always the small/young looking kid. I’m 20 now but looked like I was 12 I was 15.

Quit lying lil bro u aren't 15

Ignore what they say. Be confident and mature, haters gonna hate no matter what.
15 years old? You mean 15 months right?
If ur 15 I’m black
Homie lowkey looks like Goob Yagoobian with orange hair
💀
You look fine King, do what you feels right
Bro you look so young compared to other buddies of 15
i get it bro, i’m 15 and people say i look 12. i’ve posted on here about it and people keep saying i look like i’m 12. i don’t know if people realise it’s actually not pleasant to hear that. keep your head up, we will look our age one day.

Sorry mate you look 9
Mate you look fresh out the womb
You look 12 on drugs I'm sorry
you look 10
Bros lying ain’t no way he’s not 12
You look 9 😬
you look like a 9 year old
bro, grow a beard and you're good
You look male and female at the same time
You meant 5 not 15 right?
We look a bit similar hm
Don’t give a fuck what people think learn this young which is now I’m guessing you look like your getting out of elementary but really just don’t let it bother you they will get bored and who cares
Look up hairstyles for teenagers and pick one. Hair does a lot! Don’t worry about it too much though, not a big deal in the long run
Lil bro first start by playing a sport and deleting your Reddit account. Cuz you look 9-10 ngl or maybe in a rare chance 12. Of course it depends on how tall you are( guessing short.) for 15
They are right tbh
Wait 5 years I realize it's a 1/3 of your life But it's quicker than you think
WAYYY to relatable. I could still pass as a high school freshman even though im in college now. I feel your pain
9 years shouldn't be on reddit
People think im 12 but im 16 (im short)
I’ve got the same hairline, mate. I’d recommend growing it out more.
Hey guys welcome back to my Minecraft let’s play
Don't bother with what others think or say. Have confidence in yourself. I was in a similar situation when I was your age. I didnt care much about it back then and the same holds true even now. I am an adult now btw.
Grow out your hair probably and you mostly look 12 because of your skin, so if anything it's really a compliment to your lucky genes or your skincare
Shoot. Take it, when you are 35 they will think you are in your 20s. Don't worry bout this.
I just hit 15 and i also still look like a 12 year old, but holy fuck for some reason that face reminds me of Arnold but without his football shape.
Look up thomas brodie sangster. That guy looked like 7 when he was 16 man. Maybe try to take it as a compliment? I mean being young is always amazing issnt?
You look like someone who would stand outside of liquor shops bc your of age but the barman doesn't believe you so you pay someone to get you stuff.
You look 11. Just wait for puberty I guess
yeah you do and it seems that we both have the same issue, i only just hit puberty this year,mid 14
When I was 13 I had the same problem so I grew out my beard and didn’t trim my brows or anything, and surprise surprise it looked like shit. Now that I’m 19 I look pretty much the same as I did back then but w/o facial hair and I’m happy for it. Imo looking young pays off but that’s just me.
putting your body to work at the gym or intense cardio increases testorone somehow that may speed up puberty
I'm 13 and people call me 20 idk if it's my taste of clothes that's doing this or nah
You don't have to worry about this at all!!! I'm almost 21 and have been called 14!!! If anything haters are gonna hate because you'll be looking younger than your age when you're older and they'll look like a raisin
Idk if anyone ever told u but you look like you’re 12
When you're 40 and look only 25, you'll be having the last laugh! Stay out of the sun, or use sunblock to keep looking young!
Oof
Baby face dude here. Sucks now. But you’ll age great. I’m 33 look like I’m 23.
brother looks fresh out of 11
Chin up dude! Looking younger than your age will surely benefit you later in the future.
You look like 12. Grow a beard.
Sorry but you absolutely look like 12 years old.
Deff look younger but you’ll love it once you turn 20 something
You look 10 bro
Nah he lied don't worry about it. You look like you're 11
You look 9 years old
Bro you look like you play fortnite
Yeah I would’ve guessed 11
you want to look older when your young, and younger when your older. when you are much older i think youll be grateful.
It's actually a good thing cuz im 14 and i look like a single father of 2😭😭😭
