Rarely do people get my age correctly whenever they try to guess my age. As far as my knowledge goes, the age range that I have collected from other people goes from 13-24. I really get surprised when people guess near the ends of that range as I personally think I look like my age. There are many factors that go into their guesses. For starters, having a height of 5'3"-5'5" doesn't help as I'm one of the shortest people in my university (I'm willing to argue that at least 75% of the world's population is taller than me). Another reason why people tend to get my age wrong is because of my baby face/facial hair. Facial feature-wise, my face looks like the same as I was 10-12. I don't how it is but it is. It probably might have to do with the fact that as unnatural as it seems, I don't get acne or blemishes on my skin. My facial hair is also added alongside my face because whether or not I have facial hair, I could be depicted as either as a high schooler or a senior in college.
This image is so true in so many levels, granted that I'm not the only one who has gone through that, but I can't stress enough how people guess my age simply based on whether I have facial hair or not. A few weeks ago, back when I decided to shave my facial hair, I had to go to an adviser for assistance with my financial aid Just the other day, a senior in my university came up to me and asked if I was ready to graduate at the end of the semester. When I told her that I am still a first-time freshman at university, she got embarrassed and told me that I looked exactly like one of her friends. I had to laugh with her because I wasn't expecting such scene, but as I stated, people who don't know me will have a hard time knowing my age based on my current appearance at the moment.
). I don't understand it, I think I look 18 haha
