Younger than you are - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dawsongirl · 01-08-2003, 12:15 AM

I keep running into people who think I'm 17 (I'm 23). Not that I'm complaining.

Anyone else here get people thinking they look younger than they are?

When I was 13, someone thought I was 15. I dunno... I think some think Im like a year older. I didnt get my liscense until I was 18, and when I was 17 and went to movies..they never carded me.

Being called 17 when you're 23 might not be a bad thing. You'll enjoy being called younger when you get older.

I'm 23, but I look like I'm 18 or 19. At least I don't get carded for lotto anymore.

I am told that I'm about 14.....They say I act like a 14 year old....

Last summer when I was delivering flyers someone said I looked 14. I'm 17. I can see if they judged my age by my height since the average height in one of my classes was 5'6 and I'm only 5'4. I really felt short when the sheet came around for grad pictures and you have to write your height on it. I looked at the height for the girls and saw that it was mostly 5'6 and 5'7. As I wrote down 5'4, I thought, God, am I ever short.

One good thing is I can get in cheaper in movie theaters. One time, my dad and I went to a movie and my dad told the person I was 15 so we could pay less, but of course, I always tell the truth about how old I really am. I never lie about my age.

I get this all the time. People think I'm much younger than I am. I think it's because I dress younger. My parents & siblings "All look younger" too. So I think it's in the genes.

*Melissa* · 01-08-2003, 10:37 AM

Yes, I get that sometimes. Before my last birthday, a classmate of mine asked how old I was going to be. When I told her 20, she didn't believe me, because she thought I looked younger. My own friend told me that I don't even look 20.

Penny Lane · 01-08-2003, 11:04 AM

People always say that I look young for my age. It runs in the family. My Mom looks very youthful too! I'm not complaining!

People are always asking me if my 32 year old daughter is my sister! We look a lot alike.

Faith · 01-08-2003, 11:35 AM

I am 21 almost 22 and people are still telling me I only look like I am 16.

Kay Scarpetta · 01-08-2003, 04:04 PM

No. But today I went to the nurses office cause I had a headache and they didn't believe me when I said I had a headache, cause they didn't think I went to this school. They thought I was in high school. I had to show my I.D! What a bunch of nimrods

Brian Damage · 01-08-2003, 04:40 PM

It's happened to me a couple of times, but for the most part, I look my age...29.
