I am currently 15, and ever since I turned 10 I have looked way way older than I actually am. You probably are are like uhhh I doubt it but here are two pictures of me last year, when I was in 8th grade.

It has its benefits occasionally, but usually it just really really sucks. I go to a big school, so you see new people all the time. A SENIOR thought that I was a new teacher at the school. I get offered wine at restaurants, and no guy wants to date me because I look 25. I am also 5’10”, so that adds to the fact that I look so much older. Just yesterday I came to my first day of work at a fancy italian restaurant, and then all they had to do was get the pay situation in check (register me with a bank and such.) I got a call this morning from my boss saying that I actually couldn’t work there after all because it’s a strictly 18+ job and that he didn’t realize I was 15. Does anybody else have this problem and how do I deal with it? It makes me so insecure and I hate how I look thanks to the fact that I look twice my age 😓
