Well i am seventeen and i ALWAYS get stuff like:" "you look so young to drive" or "re you fourteen?!"
I know this is a good thing when you are older, but as a teen, it SUCKS. i want people to see me as a seventeen year old.
I drive, i am mature, i am nice. I love fashion, and i am always one of the best dressed.But the problems are: i am 5"4 and really skinny and petite so people see me way younger. And worst of all... i have NO boobs. They aren't growing! I have already talked to the doctor and its all "dont worry the time will come" and stuff like that. but for the meantime, what can i try to look older?

I agree with Jess. When it comes to makeup less is more. You're aiming for intelligence and maturity so go for a light foundation that is your skin tone. If you have light skin i suggest a tid bit of black eyeliner on the outer sides of the upper and lower lashlines and either no eyeshadow or a light color that goes with your outfit but isnt to "out of the way" and noticable. And lip gloss is a great choice to this look! if you have darker skin id go for a light peach or grey (depending on how dark-just make sure its not to dramatic! thats all that matters) lipstick would be okay too. VERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE CONFIDENCE!!! people can sense confidence! Have faith in your appearence and personality- and learn to love yourself for who you are. I have C cups and i'm still not happy with them. the truth is you might always wish you looked like someone else or had a certain feature but as long as you have confidence and are proud of yourself, you'll feel so much better about yourself! trust me :D [ ShEa19's advice column | Ask ShEa19 A Question ]

Okay well you already have half the battle down in dressing well and having an interest in fashion.
I'm 17 myself and not that much taller then you im about 5'5 or 5'6.
Im not sure if you already do this but wearing some cute heels with some skinny jeans can do wonders! it really transforms an outfit and its still casual plus making you look older and more sophisticated.
As for your boobs there are things you can do about that, Buy a push up padded bra for the mean time if you are that conscious about them :)
Make up is another issue. Don't cake it. That will just make you look like you are younger trying to be older. Less Is more. Make sure you're foundation matches your skin tone and is not orange. Go for soft neutral colours like nudes golds browns smokey shades that with open out your eyes.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do only experiment with different styles and make up until you achieve the older look you desire.
Mess around with your hair look up different hairstyles play around see what suits you and makes you look older
Thats really All I can say I hope it helped some how :)
Good luck
