Would you say...?

[Dakota Sunrise]

Ok, this is a very random thread, but I want a lot of opinions so why not? LOL :D

Would you say I look my age? I am 16 (turned on August 16th). Some people say I look older, but a TON of people can't believe I'm 16 (I actually threatned to go get out my learners permit for proof of DOB because one lady wouldn't stop, LOL!:D). Maybe because I'm only 5 ft. tall, or maybe my braces? I don't know. I honestly don't care either way, so speak your mind!:p I'm just curious to see what everyone thinks. If you had to guess, what age would you put me at?

I dug up some *fairly* recent pics of me, but there's not that many that aren't with me on a horse! xd :D

here's what I came up with:

A few days ago:

About a week ago. Ingore my weird expression and happy rocker pose.. I had too much time on my hands and my Avril Laviegne CD playing too loud- it went to my head. xD :D

This is from a few months ago, but I haven't changed much except my hair is a little longer and a different color:innocent:. But I'm certainly no taller, lol.:rolleyes:

I'd say you look young. I wouldn't say younger then 15 though. Your a beautiful young girl! Be proud of the "young" looks! :)

[JackieB]

I'd say you look the age you are. Those are great pictures. You look very happy!

[Vibe]

Hmm.. I'd say you look alittle young, well 16 I guess. :) Still really pretty, I love the rocker pictures, I tend to do that when no ones looking. I dance at the barn with the radio on loud all the time, the horses think I am insane though.. :D Don'k worry I am short for my age too.

[alittleoffkey]

I'd say 14 or 15 at the very least... but I'm terrible at guessing ages. But don't feel bad, no one can believe I'm 21 (they think I'm 16, 17 at the most - I get 14 a lot... maybe I should consider brushing my hair more often :p). I just tell them all that I plan to look at least three years younger than my actual age for the rest of my life. :D

Definitely 16, you look past the "young teen" stage for sure.

[oursarge]

I think you look your age. If I met you without knowing how old you are I'd assume 16, no less than 15.

I'm only 5' tall too but when I was your age I was like a stick, I ate everything in sight especially chocolate and I weighed 70+ lbs tops. I had legs like toothpicks and was straight up and down like a boy. So attractive!!!!! Most of my life I never got to be more than 90 lbs until I got way older then I got overweight, the chocolate caught up with me!!!! I lost weight but I could still stand to loose more.

I mentioned this in another post but you know you look young when you are 21 and meet your future in laws and they get mad at your man because they say he is dating jail bait. When I met them they were cool to me and annoyed at him, when he talked to them later asking them why they acted like they did they said he shouldn't be dating someone in JR high!!!!! I WAS 21 and had a job of my own where I made more money then he did!!!!! OH WELL. I've never been real close the "outlaws". Also when I graduated from high school someone sent me a money order, I went to cash it and they wouldn't believe it was me because I was "too young to graduate", I had to drag out the driver's license.

It used to bother me but now that I'm older I think I look 20 yrs older than I am, I wish I looked younger.

Anyway I think you look your age, I think you look great and I enjoyed the pictures!!!!!! Oh I never got my braces on 'til I was 17. I know this is about you and not me but when I think of those days in a way I laugh, in a way it annoys me especially the jail bait thing, if they ASKED me some ?'s instead of staring at me maybe they would have known what they needed to. I'm real shy still but was worse then. I didn't talk to people unless they talked to me so they made me feel really bad.

You're a beautiful girl, enjoy it!!!!

I would say you look 15 or 16. You are a beautiful young woman. They are all great pictures. I love the color of your eyes. Believe it or not, people saying you look young for your age is a good thing. Cause as you get older, like anything over 30 and people are still saying that.. you will be happy about it. I am 5' and never looked my age. Even to this day. When people find out I have a 30 yr old son, they say *WHAT*:huh:. I thought he was your brother. Believe me it is a good thing to look young.

[luv2show]

I'd say you look young for your age. You're very pretty though! I totally agree with what valleyrider wrote lol. :)

[FatSpottedAppy]

I'd say from those pictures you look 14-16. :)

[KittySawrus]

Where you're in your "happy rocker pose" (lols :P) I think you look your age.
Inthe pic with Beauty, you look younger tho :) but I agree with most in that you don't look younger than 14.

[MyHorseBiggs]

I think you look about your age.

[Cat]

If I didn't know your age, I would guess 14-15 years of age and that is probably due to the braces. Very pretty photos - I love the color of your eyes.

[Dakota Sunrise]

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys!:) xD

Honey, I'm almost 30 and I still get I.D.'ed when purchasing scratch tickets or liquor.

Here, the gambling age is 18, and drinking age is 19.

It's pretty darn annoying and we just have to politely grin and bear it.............and I'm sure we will be happy when it works to our advantage 20 years from now.

[Blue]

15 or 16. :)
