I'm 21 and whenever I go places, people think I'm like fifteen. I hate it! I got a haircut the other day and while I was waiting, I told the woman I needed to go add cash to my parking meter and she said "Wow! You don't look old enough to be driving!"
What can I do about this? I can't stand it when people don't take me seriously in public. I don't know if my face looks young or if it's just because of my small stature. I'm 5"1 and 90 pounds.

You definitely don't look 15, looking at those pics and not knowing, I'd probably guess 18 or 19. Look at it this way, in 10 years you'll be glad to look younger than you do. Saying you look young is probably meant to be taken as a compliment by the people who say it to you. I guess you could always try make up and dressing more maturely (whatever that means.) But really, I think you should just learn to take it as a compliment, move on, and appreciate your good genes. [ russianspy1234's advice column | Ask russianspy1234 A Question ]
Xui answered Wednesday December 19 2012, 3:58 pm: You look young but I wouldn't say not old enough to drive. I am 27 years old and I have people tell me I look like I am 20-22yrs and I take it as a compliment.
I will be upfront and honest and I am deeply sorry if I offend you but at 5'1 a healthy weight is 120 lbs. Being underweight can give off a much younger or sickly impression also. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
