I'm almost 23, but people usually think I'm 17-19... I feel 30 a lot of times though...
I would like to look closer to my age since it would make work and shopping and things easier some times (almost everyone I work with is 35+) but I'm not sure how to go about it while still being myself... so I just sorta gave up there

At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.
At no point in my life has anyone thought I was my age.....I'm always being accused of being way younger......they're even surprised when my kids say "Mom"....most don't think I'm 32....don't mind it much now....but when I was in college and had high schoolers at church hitting on me
The only reliable means for measuring our love for God is to examine whether we obey Him. We may dress the part, act the part, talk the part of being a Christian, but none of these things proves that we genuinely love God. Obedience is the only way.

i get asked out by boys in junior high all the time ...... usually when i am out on the beach surfing...... my sister just laughs about it..... ..... that doesn't bother me..... they are not malicious, they are just boys...... but when middle aged men start staring at me and then hitting on me it freaks me out.... it does happen sometimes.... but luckily i have some very big hawaiian friends, out on the surf break, i can hide behind.... .if RWS is not there....

My sister(17) was being hit on by one of the security guards that works at the shopping center where she works recently. He was in his 40's or so. I kept going by hoping he'd be there so she could point him out to me. She ended up getting him transferred out of there.
No, people mistake my granddaughter for my daughter. That won't last much longer though. We're all getting older every day. It catches up. The ride down the hill is faster than going up.
I'm almost 20. People think I'm years younger (probably because I dress the way I want and not with the passing trends. Sometimes I even put my hair in a little kids style).
It doesn't bother me much. It's hilarious watching people's reactions when they hear my age.
I was at a rink once and a little boy came up to me-
Boy: "You wanna go out with him?" *points to kid sitting against the wall*
Me: *surprised and amused* "Umm...no. I believe I'm a bit old for him."
Boy: "He's twelve."
Me: "Yes, well I'm 19."
I watch as the boy staggers back in shock, stammers a few incoherent words, and then scampers off. A few seconds later I hear a shriek of disbelief. Very entertaining.
I have always looked younger than my age as well. I was 23 when I was expecting our first baby and I got sad looks from little old ladies every where I went. Once I even over heard a lady saying "look at that poor child". I was a little embarresed at the time.
Last July (I turned 28 3 weeks after this) we had our 4th baby and I was sitting in the wheel chair at the hospital door waiting on my husband to pull the van around so we could go home. A little lady came over to me and said "Oh, Honey she sure is cute, but now you have to take her home and take care of her!" You should have seen her face when I told her this baby was my 4th!!!
