    I am 30 years old -- people routinely think I am in my teens. I've had people comment that it must be hard to have a baby and be so young (I had my daughter when I was 27 -- I was also very much married) or ask me if I plan to go to college (I graduated from college in '04 and own a business now).

    I guess I am glad not look like I am in my 50's at this point, but I can't help but be annoyed sometimes.

    People have told me I look younger - especially since I lost weight. They are shocked that I am old enough to have a 30 year old daughter. :smile:

    I always get told I look about 24. I just turned 28.

    When I was 24 I walked into a Jamba Juice and the kid working at the counter asked if I went to the local high school and asked if I knew a certain friend of his since I looked familiar. I was like...ummm...I graduated 6 years ago from a different school!

    Most people are pretty right on with my age, I'm 26. Sometimes I get asked if I'm 20-21. I'll take it!

    Well I'm only 20 but people think I'm late 20's for some reason and when I say I'm only 20 they think I'm lying.

    Sad Story-- someone thought my 10y/o little brother was my son. Ouch.

    Hehe, I've got one like this - someone thought my 45 year old fella was my son, and I'm only 41. Must've had a very tough paper round...:wink:

    Younger- got 32 one time but I am 40. I always feel and act like I'm younger than my real age. Ironically when I was 16 people thought I was in my 20's. That worked well for me then too. :)

    I will be 55 next month, but everyone guesses lower. Which I am very happy to say.
