How old are you, but how old do you look?

Off topic really quick but do you like the X-Files? I recently saw that Simpsons episode with the alien in your avatar and it was absolutely beautiful I love the X-Files

I sometimes wish I would look my age or older, I mean I try to but I'm short and chubby and just too cutesie to be in my 20s.

I'm 12, and people say I look like a 5th grader.
I'm going into 8th grade ...
 
I'm 17. A lot of people mistake me for being older, and I was repeatedly asked this year if I was graduating lol.
 
I'm 20 now, but I've been consistently mistaken for around 3 to 4 years younger than what I actually am.

In 8th grade, I was mistaken for a 5th grader. To add insult to injury, it was at the rising-6th grader orientation at our middle school. I was supposed to lead around these little kids (who were taller than me), and one of the elementary school teachers thought that I was one of their kids.

In between 11th and 12th grade, I was mistaken for an 8th grader. I was taking classes over the summer and was taking a test at the high school, and as I was finishing up, someone asked me if I needed help getting out of the school or if I was lost.

In the summer after freshman year at college, I was at a local store and someone asked me which school I went to. When I told them I was in college, they just said, "Oh! I thought you were in high school."

I'm 20 but I always get ID'd in bars because I look younger than 18. I even got ID'd for an energy drink when I was 19 (you have to be 16) because she thought I looked about 15. No idea why though.. I don't think I look that young

im 14 but i think i could pass as 15 (i can get in 15 movies....hehe)
 
I'm 17, but I look about 13. There are literally no advantages to this appearance. xD
 
I'm 16, and people usually assume I'm like 15 or something. Before, it used to be worse, like mostly when I was 13, since I looked really young and hadn't really hit puberty but most people had so... xD But now I think it's a bit more obvious I'm 16 since I look a bit more grown up and I'm not so short anymore. ^^

Edit: That being said though, if you're one of the people who said you look younger than you actually are, it'll be better off in the long-run, like when you're an adult. :)
