Do you look older or younger than your actual age?

Physically I think I look younger than I am, but mentally I feel and seem older than I am, so it kind of evens out?
 
i'm 23, i'd say i pretty much look my age, maybe a year or two younger if i've got no make up on
 
Older I believe.
I'm 16, and once during the summer a bus driver asked to see my ID because I had the non adult bus pass. xD

Also at volunteering, people get surprised when I say that I'm only in high school. It might be because everyone else volunteering there is at least in their twenties.

There have been times where people thought that I was younger too though.
 
Younger because of my cheeks. I'm not even sure it's just my cheeks, I think I just have a youthful look about me. I'm 25 and had a 12 year old boy stalk me once and tell me he liked me. It was probably the weirdest/creepiest thing that has happened to me last year. Needless to say, I'm a lot less friendly to people that are younger.
Though, if a 12 year old is telling me likes me, surely I must be doing something wrong lol Maybe I'm too friendly, or sometimes too child like. That was definitely a wake up call for me. Definitely dun want lil kiddies chasing me about, thinking I'm younger than I actually am. And to be honest, I was slightly offended that a kid found me attractive :/
Maybe when I'm 30 or 40, I'll appreciate the youthful look, but right now it's just annoying. There's also the problem of older people not taking me seriously, or thinking I'm a teenager by just looking at me. I also apparently sound young. I had a telemarketer call my house once and ask if he could speak to my parents >.> I was like "erh, I'm 24 and I don't live with my parents", then I hung up.
 
Well I'm 18 and still get ID'd (and yes I'm from England where you can drink at 18) so that might tell you something :3
 
i'm a sophomore in high school and people have guessed 24 as my age. people always think i'm the older sister, between me and my senior year sister.
once, i was on omegle (text/video chat site where you can meet and talk to strangers) and someone said, "well, since you're asian, you could be anywhere between 14 and 42 years old." that cracked me up.
 
I turned 17 last month, ever since I turned 16 my mom said I looked like I was 18 especially when I straightened my hair for some reason
 
I'm 21 and I look younger than that. A guy recently guessed my age as 18 so that was nice >.>

I'm a little over 17 and a half but I have been getting approached by grown ass men, who are like 22-28, hittin on me all the time so I suppose I look older. Teachers always think i've been held back or something due to how old i've looked since ninth grade and it makes me sob when they ask that.
 
I'm turning 19 in 2 weeks... On average people think I look around 15. I've heard as low as 12 before.
 
Def younger. I remember when I was 11, people told me I looked about 8. When I was going in 7th grade, someone tried to guess my age, and the highest I could "possibly be" was 5th grade, according to them. The following year as an 8th grader, they saw my school t-shirt, and they instantly assumed I was in 6th grade and started telling me about how their 7th grade son could show me around and all that..-_-
I'm 15 now, and I've been told I look a bit more my age, but people still get confused as to whether I'm in high school or middle school.
