People mistake me for a 12 year old!

20 Comments

I can't stand it anymore!! People mistaken me for a 12-14 year old...and i'm almost 19. I'm a male (5'3")with dark blonde hair, and fairly fit(not chubby not skinny). When I go to resteraunts they ask, "would he like a childrens menu?" I then say "i'm 18". and they go, "oh". Worst part is my best friend is about 5'6" and some people have mistaken him for a college student...and he is 14. WTF is with that??!!! The girls my age talk to him and not me because they think he is the older one. He thinks it is funny. I think 5'3" is about normal...as my sister is 24 5'2" and is married, and some people think she is also 14ish...I just don't know anymore.

    5"3 is really, really short for a guy, average is like 5"10. If you hang out with 14 year olds obviously people will think you are younger?

    5'3 isn't normal for a male, lol. The average height for a male your age is 5'7-5'9. I only know one other guy as short as you and I know a lot of people, lol. Present yourself more adult like, maybe?

    change your style a bit, dressing more mature will cause less confusions. not saying you dress like a preteen but im just spitballing here

    No 5'3 is not average height for a 18 almost 19 year old male.... more like 5'8-6'1. I'm a 14 year old female and I am 5'7 my best friend is a 15 year old male he is 6 feet tall. But it isn't abnormal, just shorter than average.

    I go through the exact same thing. I've never had a girlfriend either and I have no self esteem. I'm always depressed..

    maybe grow a gotee or something, facial hair usually makes a guy look older.

    That’s cause you have a 12 year olds penis...

    In all seriousness, you stop growing at like 22 if you don't want to be short your whole life look into Human Growth Hormone

    Before you’re stuck at that height...

    Did you know that a deficiency in zinc can cause you to stop growing especially in males; so take vitamins daily while you decide weather or not to go the HGH rout

    did I mention that people tend to realize i'm older when I speak...the look can be priceless(i have a deep voice). But anyway, I wear t-shirts, blue jeans, and a ball cap mainly...I'm not going to change my style. I hate wearing things that are "in". I do have faciel hair but it is very blonde and hard to see.

      I'm blonde too, so my facial hair is hard to see and girls make fun of me and say I look like I'm 12. I have no self esteem and never want to be around people...we are fucked...
