Im 14 and I look like I am 10?

[Anonymous]

I just turned 14 this summer and I am not allowed to wear makeup till the 9th grade but i am going into 8th grade this summer. And I look like I am 10 years old! I'm 5 ft I have curves and I am really skinny and i have so many freckles that i don't look very good with makeup either! (I have tried on makeup before) And I am so short I am tired of looking like a little kid I went out to eat yesterday and the lady that showed me to my table gave me the kids menu with crayons -.- and I seen some cute boys there that were probably my age and just because they were taller they got adult menus. I just wanted to slap her because to me that was offensive. And my sister tells me all the time that I don't look my age and that i look like a little kid and I am not wearing high heels to make me look taller either because they would literally kill my feet.

Listen, hun, I will be turning 19 this November, and people think I am 12. My friends give me shit for it all the time and even guys I've dated in the past have commented on it. I have a lot of freckles, too, and I work at Sephora and I am very knowledgeable about make up. I can assure you when you are allowed, you will be able to wear make up. Go into a Sephora when your parents let you wear it, and the ladies there can help you find out what look you're going for. You just have to find what make up looks best for you. I'm short, too, 5'2, but a lot of guys and girls think short girls are cute. I also have a round face and big eyes, so basically I do look 12. But I have a mature body, and you're only 14 and still haven't fully matured into a woman. Your time will come. In my experience, men love a girl with a cute face and a hot body. It is kinda sucky looking so much younger than you actually are, but treasure it. Don't take it for granted, because you won't be young forever. And for all the people that give you shit about it, just remember that by the time they're 40, they'll have crows feet and turkey necks, and you'll look 25.

Very true!

Yep. Twenty years from now, your friends that are teasing you are going to be asking you what's your secret for staying youthful looking, meanwhile they're spending thousands of dollars on botox, age repairment creams and masks, collagen supplements, and make up every month to look good as you. I see older women walk in my woek everyday looking for the next best thing to make them look 15 year younger. And you'll just tell them you have no secret, it's natural. I'm telling ya!

If you think makeup is the answer which its not wear natrual makeup? I think its best to stay young while you can because once you look older there's no going bacm and then you have lost your whole child hood so stay cute and young whike you can until you reach like 21 then maybe you should start to not look 10

ye when i was 15 i looked 10 years old. and when people did stuff like that, o mentioned how young i looked i just felt like there was no hope for me and that i would look like a baby for the rest of my life and id be alone. i fooking hated it... so after depression seeped into my bones i went to the doctors and got testosterone jabs to get me to go through puberty... and that fucked me up as i didn't recover properly so i had low testosterone and had the libido of a 80year old fml... then i took steroids and the PCT brought my libido back to normal and i finally feel a hnt of happyness at 20years old :D actually i felt happy at 19 so ye. being a teenager fucking sucks for some, especially when you feel like an outcast.

Since you have curves you do NOT look like you're 10. :)
As for your 5 ft, my wife doesn't even reach 5ft. (4 ft 10 and she's not a dwarf nor a child! ) She's a teacher. She scares most of the 6 ft guys in her classes. But it happened often that new teachers thought she's a pupil. and reacted accordingly. It was usually a big joke, of course.
No, she doesn't wear make up, nor does she wear high heels.

When she goes to a movie and it's R- rated, they often ask her ID card.

You might think looking young is a bad thing, but when you're older, if you still look young, everyone might look old compared to you. I mean like when you're 25-30. Anyways honey, if someone tries to do something like give you the kids menu, then you try say in a straight face... "you give the kids menu to 14 year olds?"

[sean1234]

OH and people thought I was 18 when I was 27.

Don't worry, physics and maths of 9th grade will straight away make you look like a granny. You see my face? Do you believe that's a newly 14 year old? Cuz I look like 16 or 17. 9th grade passed so much stress you see. Don't worry, the school will work on taking away your childish face :)

Relax everyone is a different size and gender. Also thats not 10 years old there's a sophmore girl in my writing class and one that sits next to me in Biology. Its totally normal. Also if you think the height of boys matters this is not true. Also the classes Im talking about are in 9th grade.

Dress more mature. Be happy for your good genes when you're 30 and most of your friends look like old geezer you'll still look youthful.
I'm turning 25 next Sunday and people still guess I am anywhere from 18-23.

Every teen ages at different rates. Don't worry about this, everything will come at the right time. FYI why slap someone for an honest mistake?

Use it to your advantage and be bad. Nobody ever suspects the short little baby faced girl
