I've been confused countless times for a middle schooler when in reality I'm a senior next year. So here's the perks and problems of having a baby-face.
Perks:
-You could be forty and people would think you're in mid-twenties. Thus, not spending money on products to reduce aging.
-Dating younger guys/girls and no one noticing the difference.
-People constantly assuming you're friendly and saying you're cute.
-We get to be immature more than others. (cause the baby face. duh!)
-And also, shopping at the kids' section without getting judged.
-Getting child ticket at the bus, or at water parks etc.
Problems:
-You'll be asked to show your ID at bars, pubs, nightclubs etc..
-Constantly confused for a high-schooler/Middle schooler etc.
-Feeling rejected by your friends/colleagues because they consider you younger.
-People saying "awwww" to anything you say, or when you laugh.
-Dressing formal in order to look order, but you're still considered a "cute little thing"
(story time: I'm an MUN advisor, which means I'm responsible of young delegates,mine were 8th graders, this one guy comes up to me and asks for my advisors ID, thinking I'm 12, and not believing I'm 16.)
-Being underestimated and never taken seriously.
-People looking over you shoulder, searching for supervision. (Another story: I gather all my delegates before heading to university at school since the direction was kind enough to get us a bus. So this one time the responsible of the secondary classes came to check if everything's good, he then asked "isn't there any advisor here with you?" and I looked at him with a straight face, then cleared my throat. he apologized but still.)
-People's jaw drops whenever they know your real age.
