"cute little baby face", uuugh Options

[cheri_pi]

so
in first period (chorus) my teacher was trying to get me to try out for this solo
she was like "shouldnt rebecca try it?"
and i was like noooo
and she was like "rebeccas got such a cute little baby face"
and everyone was like "aw yeah :)"
but even though she meant it as a compliment
i took it badly.
because i always feel like i look younger than i am.
i was 14 the summer before last. i went on a plane (alone) to visit some friends in another state
and the flightattendant lady was like "excuse me dear, are you older or younger than 10?" and i was like "aaah im almost 15".
so anyway
back to school.
i talked to my friend about it in 2nd period
and she was like "well it's kind of true. your face and your body..." and i was like "ugh! what a thing to say...
so now im all self-concious
and i was wondering what you all thought?
HONEST opinions.
i photoed myself in a not-very-flattering way
just the way i looked at school today.
oh-
and i REALLY dont mean to be one of those people that says "im ugly" just so you can be told that you're pretty. im genuinely concerned... even though i know its a shallow thing to worry about





i feel really icky about posting this...

Uhmm. You don't have a baby face... You don't have to have a baby face to look younger, either. Most people are self-conscious. Get over it.

[HakunaMatata]

You don't have a baby face, dear. Don't worry about it.

[creamyxlicious]

Don't worry about it.

I gotta say I've been given the same errmmm comments.

I'm a junior yet people are still suspecting me of being a freshmen.
Some even dare to say a 7th-8th grader.

In a way it gets me mad looking younger then I am.
But even if that's true I know I rather be 42
looking 35 then the other way around.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

you look your age darling.
what the hell are they on.
dont feel bad

[moninja]

Uhmm. You don't have a baby face... You don't have to have a baby face to look younger, either. Most people are self-conscious. Get over it.

word. don't be so self-conscious, and don't get caught up with what other people say. just deal.

[Joss-eh-lime]

yeah you don't look younger than 13 at all. maybe these people are just bad a guessing ages like i am. don't worry--looking young is a BLESSING when your 35 :]

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Yeah, you have nothing to worry about. People used to say I looked young for my age, and I still get that sometimes. I'm 17 and I too think that I look younger. I'm not curvy like a lot of women and I have some baby fat haha. See, nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not.

You shouldn't compare yourself to what other people and say and most importantly to what you think other people think of you.

[HakunaMatata]

And something I didn't mention earlier, but it's not a bad thing to look young. Like creamyxlicious said, I'm a junior and a lady asked me what middle school I go to, but be flattered! Around high school reunion, you'll be hotter than all the rest of them.

[*Infinite.*]

- don't be a critic, don't be a critic-

I'm tring to quiet. But to be honest you don't have a baby face at all.

[cheri_pi]

Thanks, all. Yeah, I'm 15. I guessed I looked around 12 or 13, but the flightattendant "are you older or younger than 10?" comment threw me...
:|

[*x1227x*]

^ agreed
dont worry about it like about the people above said.
you seriously dont have a baby face tho. =/ (not tryna be rude) you look like 15. dont listen to what those people say. just take it as a compliment.

[Laughsalot]

ever since i moved to vietnam(which was in june 06) alot of people have thought i was like 16 or 18 instead of 14. but when i was in america people thought i was like 11 when i was 14. which really annoyed me.

[SimplicityGirl]

You look your age. Don't worry so much =] It'll make everybody jealous when you guys hit your 30's and 40's =P

I'm 18 and people still think I'm 12....which is funny and amusing =P

[mai_z]

^^ me too! actually, usually I get 14, so i'm a little better.
Just be confident. or fake it. confidence radiates, and people will feel that rather than look at your physical appearance.

Actually I'm lying, it's more in combination. but still, don't worry about how you look. you don't look like you're 12

[*krnxswat*]

Wtf, you look like you're about 30 years old.

[Stefanny]

Don't worry. Everybody seems to think that you look your age. && your body is fine for your age.

[SWEETiExLiCiOUS]

How could people EVEN say you have a baby face ?

[AngeDeRuine]

Nope, I see no babyface there.

[StubbornFemme]

To tell you the truth, you look older in my eyes in my opinion. You look your about early twenties but there are some people that look kinda like you around where I live look like 15/16yr olds like you. But I understand where youre coming from, well kinda..my best friend for 10yrs has gone through all things youve been through. People think shes 15yrs old when shes really eighteen and she even had worse ones like 12yr old..and she has a body like yours..it just makes me wonder why ppl these days are thinking about ya know? but i think their eyes should be checked b/c i clearly dont see that in you.

[cheri_pi]

ok
apparently i look 30?
whatever.
im getting every age but 15, which is what i am, haha.
soo confusing..

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Not to sound rude but I think if you got your eyebrows thinned and let your hair down, maybe put on a little mascara you'd look older.

[LOWinSKANK]

yeah. i get that sometimes too. but hey, at least we know when we`re 30 or 40 we probably won`t look that way. <3

[mzislandpinay]

yeah. jhus believe in yourself. Be confident with wha you look like. If you don`t like it. If you think you`re lookin` to young. Then change it. No harm in tryin` somethin` new. Don`t like it. Fix it.

hehe have confidence! You`re not "baby" lookin`

[demolished]

pluck your eyebrown. apply makeup. straighten hair. and etc.

it'll make your look older than 10 years old.
