You don't look 15. Not to rant on your journal randomly, but I hate people assuming others are young. I don't understand what people expect people of certain ages to look like now a days, but seems like most of them have high expectations. When I was visiting family in Michigan, I had several people (in rude tones) insinuate that I looked like I was 12. In college, I have people ask me how old I am, and I say 19, and they'll often say "Wow, I thought you were like 14!" Jesus. I'm not "short," I'm average at 5'6" so it can't be that. I don't wear make-up (I don't understand the point of make-up when you are young and have very little to "make-up" for), and that's basically it I guess. Make-up is supposed to make older people look younger, not younger people look older. I have people that have spoke to me only online and assumed I was older, and then I have people that have simply seen me in passing and assumed I'm not even old enough to drive. So basically, people expect 19 year olds to look old and not be very intelligent? That's what
( ... )
People alwaysss assume I'm much younger than I actually am. I've had people ask me if I'm one of those really smart young people going to college years ahead of time. When my boyfriend and I first started dating, his friends picked on him by saying things like he was going to jail for being with a 15 year old, which I was rather annoyed by.
Makeup should enhance your features (and your confidence basically), but I don't feel the need to wear it anymore. I began wearing it early in highschool when I was dating a guy who wanted me to look like a porn star. I stopped wearing it when I began dating my current boyfriend. He makes me feel beautiful regardless of what is on my face or body. It's rather sad that I used to let how I look rely on the ideals of whoever I was dating at the time. blech.
Anyhow, I agree that it's a load of crap how people heavily judge others based on how old they look or how old they even really are.
and I'm pretty sure I never said that you "demanded" it. I said you wanted me to because you like (or at least used to like) what I consider the porn star look. Lots of makeup, skimpy clothes, etc. It's all a matter of preference. I've just decided that lots of makeup and skimpy clothes aren't for me, and that I feel more comfortable and myself with a natural look.
Thank you :) I'm definitely enjoying this phase. For the first three sickly months, I despised being pregnant, but it became worth it after feeling the first kick.
