The other day I commented on a youtube video about only having one exam left and some one replied to it with something along the lines of "Why are you sitting exams, no offence but you look about seven...". This comment effected me more than I was expecting it to. I know the profile picture I had was a few years old but not so many years that I actually was seven. A friend of an old crush of mine once said I looked 13 (this was when I was 15) which fair enough I didn't really care about that comment but the fact that this stranger on the internet said I looked younger than my littlest sister (who is 10). The comment both angered and upset me (but only just a little) because why would someone go out of their way just to make a petty comment like that, it's the sort of thing they could think but it doesn't necessarily need to be said out loud. It upset me a little because it made me think...do I really look that young? Obviously not seven, but if I look young for my age? When I'm older I'll probably look back and wish I looked younger but right now I don't want to, I want to look my age.
Not younger, maybe older but at least 16.
