Do you think I could look older if i gained some weight?

Question

I'm sick of people always telling me i look 12, i mean even with make up i look really young. i also think that sometimes people can treat me any which way they want cos they think i'm young when i could actually be older than them and they don't know it! and my boyfriend says that i look even younger because i am short & thin and that if i gained weight i'd look older. not that i want to become fat but what do you guys think? is he right??

Answer 1

I think that you will look your age someday, but that day apparently isn't here yet.  I'm honestly sick and tired of people thinking I'm in 10th grade (which I'm not yet).

They keep asking me if I've gotten a driver's license.  

Gaining weight probably won't help, I wouldn't think, but I wouldn't do anything as of yet.  When you get a growth spurt people probably will start calling you by your real age.

And lay off the eyeliner some.

Answer 2

gaining weight wont do anything,  it'll make you look like a chubby twelve year old!  Growing will help a lot.  

Answer 3

When a woman wears makeup people will assume she must be of age to wear it, since younger girls are usually not allowed to use it. If you decide to wear makeup, stay away from glitter or applying any type of make up too heavily, which will just make you look like youre trying to appear older but are really not. Use subtle tones. You can gain wieght, and since females gain as they age and tend to be skinnier in their young teens than later in life, you can weight. The best thing you can do at your age, assuming you are a teenager, is to just enjoy your youth. Youll never be that age again so take it all in and live it up. If there are times where you would like people to take you more seriously, then  appear older in manner, not just in looks. This means sit up straight, smile, have good posture, be polite and treat others with respect, dont get upset if someone treats you wrong, but stay calm in attitude and voice and "shake it off." Behavior is a big indicator of how old you really are.  

Answer 4
