l'm aging fast,, like really fast.

[Vohn_exel]

People seem to think I'm about ten years older then I am, but thats always been the case. When I was younger, the way I acted and carried myself made me seem more mature, or perhaps I just look like an old man. I was never really sure.

Now days people think I'm 35 or so, and tell me I look like my mother. I'm going bald rather quickly, to lend support to your grey hairs, but I have always felt about ten years or so younger then I am. Sometimes even now, I'll almost say that I'm like 15 or 17.

I happen to be sort of mixed. At 20, I'm beginning to lose my hair (in the peninsula style as per my maternal side's genes), but I still can't even grow convincing sideburn let alone a full beard. I do still get carded for the requisite things though, even when I've shaved away the evidence of a sub-standard beard. Oh well..

Meh, I think I'm one of the lucky ones. I look and feel my proper age (just turned 24), and thanks to my genes, I will never go gray (my abuelita is 82 this year and still has dark hair, my mom'll be 58 and is dark-haired, my dad has all brown hair when he doesn't shave his head).

I pitied my older brother. He was nearly 30 before people stopped thinking he was my age, and he's 9 years older than I.

Grey hair? Pfft, wuss. I've had grey temples since I was 15. Not to mention my facial hair has always had a little grey in it. Now that I'm in my 30's I'm preparing for the inevitable baldness that has claimed all my older brothers.

 

[Miumaru]

I already hate young people and I'm not even 20 yet.

I thought I was growing old when I found gray hairs. Then I found out testicle hair is supposed to be gray.

There's a condition where you produce excess skin, and it gives you wrinkles.

There was a 16 year old who looked about 40.

So, fellow Escapists, I just hopped out of the shower and to my horror, I saw a bundle of gray hairs on my hair. I'm nineteen years old, and I just laughed it off as I pulled them out. But that got me thinking, I ask you, have you ever felt like you're aging too fast, or not fast enough?

Don't pull out your grey hairs. Ever. Dye them if you must but don't pull them out. Grey hairs are better than no hairs.

Good luck with that, Snake.

Anyway, I heard that happens to people who've been stressed out.

A friend of mine has just turned 17. He began to bald about 18 months ago.

Alas.. that gene is in my family as well.. It will fall at about 20-30.. young..

 

[Abedeus]

Meh. I'm almost 18, but I've been mistaken for a college student on numerous occasions.

Over six feet tall.
Pretty bulky posture.
Bushy beard, not too big, but something.
Sniper-from-TF2-styled glasses.

Oh, and my dog is a big rottweiler, so that makes me look a bit older too. I mean, what kid would control a 40kg beast with ease?

When I was in elementary school I thought I was aging quickly because I had bags under my eyes, but then I discovered that 4 hours of sleep a night was uncommon.
