No it's a good thing. Now people tend to think I'm my age or even a bit older since I act mature and dress sophisticated but a few years ago I would get mistaken for younger. I'm short so that also does not help. I hate being mistaken for younger.
I would not think it is a bad thing. I hate when people think I'm younger than I am. This guy thought I was several years older than I am and I was very flattered though it was disappointing to tell him my real age because since I'm only 20 and not in my mid 20s he now thinks I am just a kid :( oh well

theres nothing wrong with looking older, people will just respect you a little bit more. heh, I'm 21 and people think I'm 18. So enjoy it and flaunt it.
saying you look like a 20 year old is not bad at all! saying your a 30 or older and almost the age of 18 is bad :/
Not a bad thing. Some people typically look 1-2 years off their age. I did an experiment and on average, I look about 19 and I'm actually 21. So it's not out of the ordinary that you would look 2 years older than you are.
If someone said you looked 24, you might have something to be concerned about.
no. it's only a year or two, I wouldn't sweat it.

Eh, you might age quicker or not "as well," but it's not that big of a deal.
You can either accept it or choose to make a big deal out of it and fret over it, speeding up the process of aging. Or be youthful mentally.I have the same problem
When I was 14 people said I looked 16 and now I'm 16 people say I look 18
It's sort of annoying but I guess it could help if I wanna watch an R rated movie or something or maybe go to a club.no its not bad because when you get older it will be a compliment when people think your older then you really are. When I was 16 people thought I was 14, because I looked young for my age, some people still think I'm younger then I really am and I'm 28
Mistaking you for a year - two years older.. Is it really that bad comon'
I get told I look way younger then I am.. its no biggie.It's only bad if you don't like it. I look way older myself and I like it. Makes me seem more wise, haha.
I wouldn't take it as a bad thing. Afterall I'm 18 and people keep saying that I look like I'm 14. >_<
It's terrible and you should end your pitiful life to avoid such shame. lol. jk
It's two years...lighten up some :)You are almost 18
18-19-20 are looking almost sameGet over it. When I was 16 people thought I was 21.
You age differently at different ages. So maybe it will slow down later and you will remain looking 20 even at 25.
No, its only bad about the time you hit 25 and people say you look 30
stop complaining, most people in their teens want to look older.
No big deal! You'll probably attract older mature men.
Most people are not a good judge of age. When I was 15 I was passing for 21 and now that I'm 29 people many times say I look like I'm 25.
are you wearing too much makeup? cause makeup can age you
not much diff really
I'm 20 and people say I look 15 -.- I think this is worse ...No, it just means that you're less likely to get carded. Which is a plus!
No if you like that its your choice I personally don't like looking 15 at age 17
I wouldn't say so. I wish I looked 20.
Why would it be bad lol
