Is it normal to look 25 years old at 15?
As a teenager, I almost always looked much older than I actually was. People at my school were always mistaking me for a visitor or teacher because I didn't look school-age. I have gone into stores asking what they'd recomend for back-to-school clothes and as a response have been asked if it is for a son or a daugter. I have been mistaken for being the mother of one of my friends, who is only a year younger than me. I have once asked some friends and relatives how old I looked and most said 25 to 30, even though I was 15 at the time.
I think this is rather weird as I am not very tall, and don't have a very aged-looking face or body. I like to dress in goth-style fashion and have purple hair, all of which I thought were more teenage things.
Is this normal thing to happen?
