i've always looked younger than my age, I used to hate it, but trust me now i'm older I don't mind looking a little younger..I hope that when i'm old i'll still look younger than everyone else my age haha! usually hair cuts are a great indicator of how old you are...fringes can make you look older. so maybe a new hair style is in order. try different makeup, see what works best for you. shop for new clothes (there's always an excuse to shop) and find something thats right for you. good luck <3333

I'm 5'0" and I'm 18 so I really do feel your pain. There's a slight chance that you will grow a tiny bit more but I wouldn't put your hopes on that.

Wearing more 'grown up' clothes and make up do help (at least in part) with making you look older but personally, I've found the most important thing is how I carry myself - act like an adult and people will treat you like one. Now that I'm 18 (and in the UK where I live, turning 18 is pretty much your passport to everything) I don't care so much because I know I'm an adult and can prove it, even if I don't look like one.

Over the next couple of years, your appearance is likely to change and you'll probably start to look your age or older. Comparing yourself to your cousin will just make you miserable. Whenever you find yourself thinking 'oh she looks so much older than me' remember that in 10 or 20 years time, you'll love the fact that you look younger!
