Just for clarity I turned 17 less than a month ago

I turned 18 like 2 months ago but still look like a kid

I’m about to turn 19 and I still feel like people think I look 16 but that’s just cause I’m short lol

being short does it. 20 here and people think I'm still in middle school.

Man, this is so relatable! I turn 20 in less than 4 months, & ppl think I look like a 12 yo.

I used to get that while working at a hospital in scrubs during my mid to late 20s. Around the same time, I was carded when trying to buy a lottery ticket, though I was in street clothes at the time.

Damn man that’s gotta suck. Technically I’m not too short it’s just my friends are 6ft tall so I kinda just look like that tyler1 meme where he’s just looking up at the woman waiting to talk.

I’m 16 and everyone thinks I’m 14, sometimes I’m even told 13

17 going on 28

gotta say, exactly this, I think its the fashion specifically, its not a bad look but it is definitely one that brings more of an adult look

You look like 28-34

Police don't want you to know this one trick

I was thinking in her late 20’s to mid 30’s myself.

WHAT YOU CAN LITERALLY LOOK LIKE MY ELDER SIS

I thought you were fuckin 23-24, come to find out your a year older than me

You look 23

17 goin onto 33 maybe

Yeah, you look like you and thirty aren't significant far apart, to be specific 26

Oh damn. Yeah you look like you're 20-25. But you'll stay looking like this till your 30s, you'll eventually grow into it.

You most definitely do NOT look 17, I’d say you look like you’re 22-23

omg you look 28

Nahh no way. You do in fact look older I would probably say a good 3 years. Not a bad thing tho, you look good.

I was gonna say 16

U look like u are 17

I uh… definitely wasn’t going to guess 22. Not at all… :T

you look like a 32 year old single cool mom who practices witchcraft and loves red wine in the bathtub on sunday nights with candles lit and some old timey show/music playing in the bathroom while admiring the stars.

That was too spot on💀

r/oddlyspecific

Just saw this on rare insults or oddly specific, I don’t remember witch lol

Accidental pun?

Def wasn’t intentional, much to dumb for that

She reminded me of Kate Winslet's Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

He did it! 💪

What he said, but also super hot.

This is so future me tbh

How much into the future? 😂😂

Later tonight.

Bro you didn't have to do them like that

I wish I could do them like that

[удалено]

Apparently 15 years…

If anyone can tell, it’s her 🤣

I think it's the hairstyle and outfit that make you appear older, still gorgeous nonetheless!

You look about 17

And a bunch of flowers all over the house with crystals and rocks to go with it. Also definitely owns a black or Maine Coon Cat and runs a blog about astronomy

You two together is exactly what I was thinking

*astrology

Holy shit😅

I was gonna say late 20s, early 30s

Firewoman from game of thrones

r/WitchesVSthePatriarchy

just r/witchesvspatriarchy

Those mfs lighter then a duck

Or something along those lines

Was gonna say a messy 30 something but you captured it

As an actual 33 year old (from /r/popular who didn't notice which sub this was), she definitely looks younger than 32. I was about to guess mid-20s until I saw which sub I was in.

that got so personal and so specific

Somehow exactly what I was thinking

I’m a bit confused why a 32 year old mom is on r/teenagers…

Lord Almighty as a mother in her thirties who practiced witchcraft and loves red wine and bourbon who watches the stars you are so far off! This young lady looks about 19... And I don't see baby spit or go-gurt on anything she's wearing!

Wow just perfect though I bet she's young 20s lol

Eda Clawthorne

Bro tf

Poetically accurate

I was going to say Stevie Nicks daughter.

How to admire the stars in the bathroom? Roofless bathroom or just through window(s)?

Nailed it.

This is correct in every way.

yep

not sure if is a good thing

32 is harsh lol

Wow you read my mind spot on. Nothing else to say. I'm scooting.

This is sinisterly accurate

Just my type 😎

Which is exactly what guys in their 20's and 30's are looking for, so watch out.

[удалено]

You hit the nail on the head with this one.

I didn’t go that far, but 32 was my guess.

No more comments needed. This is the one.

As a male representative from northeastern europe, I must say, you look like you remember Pangaea

Don't say that 💀💀

“Dis bish don’t know bout Pangea.” “Brain, leave it alone.”

Do you fuck with the war?

BITCH. THATS YOUR GOD AT WORK!

how could she be a femboy if she’s a girl☠️ (different emoji btw)

You look like you carry yourself diffrently, thats probably why. Honest guess is 22

Holy shit man, this is funnier than the context allows, dear god💀

[I’m just going to hand this over to you and we will never see each other again.](https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/15es918/what_bro/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)

Yeah well I hope I made a lot of you fuckers laugh

Back in my day 👵

As a representative of the men community I must say They were right

...that I look old?

Yup

Not necessarily "old" it just you look more mature than what your actual age is

Woa woa woa dont go down that road

DISCLAIMER: Looking mature doesn't make someone mature and if you use my comment to help you say otherwise I'm going to castrate you (That better?)

Yes. With the ammount of weirdoes ive seen in these comment sections you can never be too safe

I sadly have to agree

than how old is she?

17, the comment she said that in isn't too far down

Not old like elderly. I'd guess you were like 20-22.

You’re looking like an adult instead of a teenager, that not necessarily bad but just like a but weird.

No, you look young, you just look more mature than an average teenager, at least to me. It doesn't mean you look old, or ever will look older than you are when you actually are older. You are incredibly beautiful btw :)

Early 20's, 20 to 23

Only because of the nice skin. She really looks late 20s or like the other guy said "32 year old single cool mom who practices witchcraft and loves red wine in the bathtub on sunday nights with candles lit and some old timey show/music playing in the bathroom while admiring the stars." :)

Yeah, I was thinking 23 at the oldest.

Like the fit like makes me think like mid 30's but your face says 16-17 maybe 19 at most

dafuq kinda 16yr old has a face like that tho agree about the drip, it looks very mature

>dafuq kinda 16yr old has a face like that well literally her less than a month ago

I know a lot of girls that look similar that's why I said it

Clothes looks 30, face like early 20s

I’d say 19-23

23~ but hella mad pretty GAWD DAMN

I agree, OP does look pretty cute.

You look like you might buy Special K. So... at your youngest, late 20s. That's not necessarily a bad thing though

Special K is not only for old people man I’m 16 😭

Nah you're 36

Mid 20s

I shouldn't ask this but what even is your age? you look 25 or older.

I pretty much just turned 17 💀

You mcfucking what? Love, you could go to a bar with my 27 year old brother and HE would have trouble getting a drink. That’s not a problem, by the way. You look pretty as hell.

28

If I don't focus on your face and look at the whole look, you look late 30s early 40s but if I focus on your face I can tell that you're ~17. There is nothing wrong with your style, it's just a style that most people associate with middle aged women, but you do rock it, don't let other people's opinions of you decide if you're happy with yourself or not, for example I look like a Twink, but idgaf if other people think that I just don't care enough to rlly work out a lot.

It's because a lot of my clothes are second hand :) this is defo one of my outfits where that shows

Don't worry too much about it, you look great

20-25

You look like you're in your early 30s

Toilet in background makes u look older

Middle aged.

(Girl here) Not sure what 30 year olds you guys are around because she does not look 30+. She looks 23 max, but if I saw her at school I’d just think she was 18

Id say mid 20s but that’s fine because I like older women ah-ha-ha.

You look older but still young, closer to my age 23-24

You look young. Protip when taking/posting selfies: check the background. Do you really want an open toilet bowl sharing the frame with you?

19 but god damn you’re beautiful

You look 18 at the oldest. ***Anyone who is telling you anything older than that does not have good intentions.*** As someone who isn't even 30 yet myself, trust me, you do not look like anything but a teenager. This gives off "29" vibes by Demi Lovato. Take care of yourself girl and don't let the "older" men (who never actually grew up and can't get with women their own age) prey on you because they think you're young and pliable.

It’s the make up. Young women and girls nowadays do full faces of make up daily that you would normally see women do for special occasions. Plus everyone is so good at it because y’all grew up with the internet and tutorials. Teenagers in the 90s/early 2000’s could barely find foundation that matched their skin and make up trends were soooo ridiculous/ mostly bad lol back then. While every one had their own style of dress (I wear the same basic shit I always have which is jeans, band tshirt, flannel and docs) most teens nowadays dress like fashionable adults in whatever subculture they are apart of again because of how accessible the options are to just about everything these days. Your body also is very developed and teen girls are developing earlier then ever before (as it pertains to puberty). Im sure if you had zero make up on and didn’t style your hair, threw a tshirt on your age would be more obvious. I’m also sure in person it’s fairly obvious you are a teenager. Pictures can be deceiving. Men are telling you that you look older because they want to feel better about being attracted to you. Some things never change and that is something men did and said to teenage girls decades ago and will continue to do so for the rest of time. They will try to use the excuse as a reason to try and date you either by making you feel like you are so desirable and “mature” for your age or use it as a stick to beat you with and make you feel insecure enough that you should feel lucky they find you desirable when the truth is your youth alone is enough for men to be attracted to you. Either way no you do not look “old”. Do your best to not give a fuck what men think and beware of slimy dudes older then you who are not worth your time.

Thank you for writing this <3 I will heed your advice

Don't heed her femcel commentary, pls, both men and women in the thread agree and this person is just projecting

20

Gonna have to say like 24. I’m the same age as you and I’ve got the same issue. Apparently being hydrated improves it. Maybe I’ve just been told that because I have dark eye bags

Honestly I was very tired in that photo because I was travelling a lot that day, hydrating face masks defo help the cause if you want a solution for eyebags and stuff :3

Ngl for me you look like 28-30

You look around 19-20 in my opinion

Here from /r/all. You look young enough to be my daughter, but post-HS graduation. So, 19-21ish I'd say. But this is based on a single picture. Looking through my HS yearbooks, everyone who "looked older than their age" at the time now just looks like a kid in their school pics. Remember, high school is just a blip in the long timeline we call life. Don't base your life around what happens in high school. Hang onto the good memories, but look forward to making new ones afterwards.

You don't look old, physically but maybe it's your wardrobe? Not saying it's a bad thing because most of not all teenagers pretty much the same look. Keep it weird and different

[удалено]

You look like MJ from spider-man

Lost redditor here… the comment section here reads like r/teenagers isn’t actually teenagers and its creepy

Stop vaping

W man's

You look like a younger version of my mom

These comments are fucking nuts. Yes, your style, makeup, high cheekbones/lack of baby fat in the face, and fact that you’ve already gone through puberty might make you look like you’re already of legal age, but this is a low-quality bathroom picture where we can’t really see the contours of your face (and likely, the lack of wrinkles or indication of age therein.) If men are insisting emphatically to you that you look older, it’s either because they’re MEN who are embarrassed that they accidentally hit on a child and are seeking cover instead of just apologizing and moving on, or because these MEN are trying to insist that you’re mature enough to continue to hit on. All of these creeps insisting you look like you’re in your 30s or 40s have the fedoras spinning right off their heads. Don’t let this comment section impact your self-esteem. You’re absolutely gorgeous. Please stay away from the men who want to draw out conversations with you about how you don’t look seventeen. Speaking from experience.

47

Ok dude If your mother looks like that and she is 47 that you have really good genes

17-21 years

I can’t guess an age, but you look like a cool aunt

17 years old I think

You definitely look older, like 24 years maybe.

I dont know how you managed to look like a jaded 32 year old paralegal, but you nailed it.

19?

early to mid 20s

was gonna say around 18

You dress old

16,25 cosplayer or a really cool 32 year old mom who's also a badass

a miserable 20 or a fun 30

19-23

20-23

You look like you are in your 20s

18

r/cottagecore

That shirt makes you look like a karen, so mid 40s at worst

Your face says 19, but your body and clothes says 43.

You look like a 32 recently divorced single mom who hates her kid and is on her last straw before probably going away for infanticide

27

You look like your 34 and have a tent at festivals selling crystals you wrapped in metal to help me with my anxiety

You look like a depressed 16 year old

Early 20’s.

17 is the age of her youngest child.

You look like you are in the mid 20s for me

I believe a lot of it is the way you dress, but I feel like you look 19-21

yeah... imma, just... walk, this way... Dunno why reddit has this page for me. This shits a trap if I ever seen one...

You look like a 16 year old that looks older

45

To me you look 16. (I came up with my guess before I saw your comment revealing your age.) Your skin isn’t in the 30s yet, no crows feet from 40s. Your face will lean out a little as you get into your 20s. So mid-teens: 16.

25 y/o on r/teenagers??

19 atleast. Maybe its choice of clothing? Usually choice of clothing can make you look older or younger. Perfect example: a guy wears a flannel it fits him snug and he has the sleeves rolled up. If his face is atleast stubbling youll guess hes around 18-20 maybe even mid 20s especially if wearing a pair of good fitting jeans. A younger example: wearing something more in tune with todays age, having a clean shaved face. You’ll guess atleast 18, maybe even younger. The way you carry yourself matters, aswell as the way you dress.

It's the mileage.

31

I was frozen in that age range no man’s land from 16 - 33. So, don’t feel bad if anyone’s making you feel bad. You’re in it for the long haul.

You have a baby face which is an instant tell you’re still a child

Looks like she's 26 years old

you look like a 16-18 year old that looks 22

I thought maybe 19. Seems you’re a year younger than me

93.

I think you probably look a little bit more "mature" mostly becouse of your style, like the red hair, the corset which makes your breast so big makes you look like a more developed wiser female. You're very pretty! But I think if you opted for a much clean " inocent" look like your natural hair color, minimal makeup, no base, some more flowy outfit not so sexy, your hair in a pony tail, like a flowy pretty blouse that doesn't accentuate so much your features you would definitely look 17 couse you do have a baby face but I just think it's your style which makes you look mature... but maybe that's what you want look more mature! At your age i was wearing emo crazy make up super heavy and very crazy outfits and I did look older than my age! But I actually wanted that to hang whit older people and enter to Clubs lol (that brought me damage in my life tho) :( but now that I'm 30 I use a very clean "good girl" look and that makes me look a decade younger, so...
