Is it normal that to be almost 18 and get mistaken for 12 and like it?

I am going to be 18 at the end of July and I always get the kids menu when I go out to eat and people have mistaken me for 11-13 countless times even though I wear makeup. I am about 5"4 which is sadly the same height I was at that age and I obviously have very small boobs. But I guess I am scared of growing up so I like being mistaken for a little kid all the time and most people think it's fine since I'm a girl. But what concerns me is that every time someone mistakes me for that age even though I act annoyed I actually really like it. When I found some of my old clothes from grades 6 and 7 and they still fit I was really happy too even though most girls would be mad. Maybe it's because when I really was that age I was ugly but I have gotten really pretty since then from braces and maybe I want to re-live the time I didn't get to have fun because of bullying I don't know... Should I be concerned that I enjoy people making this mistake so much?

    I'm in my mid twenties and still frequently get mistaken for being 12 or 14. I am sometimes offered a kid's menu, but not always. I usually don't mind, but it can be awkward to explain that I'm a university student and not a 6th grader. Sometimes I just let people think I am younger to avoid the weird conversations and people who think I'm joking, but I usually only do that with people I won't see again. I say it is fine to enjoy it, and hopefully we will look 25 when we are 40!

    Can't tell you how many times I ate for discounted price at all-you-can-eat-buffets.
    One time the waiter was like
    "damn that 12-year old eats like a grown man"

      When I was twelve I ate more than a grown man, but stayed thin as a pin. Ah, the joys of being young :-)

      Another sick paedophile.
      Are there ways of reporting suspected paedophiles to the police via this site?

      no I don't care I think big ones would be annoying plus it's easier to find clothes.

    You sound adorable! 😻
    You should be glad you can get away with looking/acting so young. Being an adult sucks.

    I'm 18 and people often say I look 13 or 14. I don't really like that they can't tell I'm 18 but I do like the fact that I'll look younger when I reach an older age.

    I'm the same, I'm 21 and I get asked for ID to watch age 15 films. My boobs aren't even that small though, 36C? And I wear makeup and never wear like jeans and a hoody. Just got a baby face I guess.
    It's okay, we'll be laughing when we're 40

    I'm in the same situation, but I'm a guy. And let me tell you, if you were the opposite gender, you'd want to fucking kill yourself. When you're an 18 year old male, who looks 13 or 14 and is only 5'2, no girl will EVER find you attractive. I'm probably going to die alone too.
