i have a question about that is getting to
me more and more. I'm 19 years old and i
look like i'm 13 or around that age. It's
beginning to be a bigger problem for me
socially when time goes by.
Mentally it's beginning to be a big
problem aswell for me. I just cant enjoy
life as much as if i looked like a real
20/19 year old. Lately suicide thoughs
come up more and more.
Now mentally i don't think i'm that far
back, when i look at other people from my
age.
I've looked around on the internet but
couldn't find any half decent info on
anything similar like this.
Am i making a bigger problem out of this
then i should? will it correct itself over
time? Or is there any disease that could
cause this problem without me noticing
other side effects of that disease? please
if you have any information for me, that
would be great.
Thanks,
Delik

Get a second opinion...... Posted: 06-27-08 15:29pm
Sometimes people's obsession with their
looks is because they have a distorted
view of their bodies - like people with
eating disorders who are on the verge of
starvation still seeing themselves as
fat.
You should ask other people what they
think. Ask people you know and trust and
ask total strangers. Go with the majority
decision.
I am 40 and I look like I am in my 20's.
Sometimes it leads to awkward situations,
but it's mostly OK.
I feel sure it's something you'll grow out
of. But, get as many other opinions as
you can to check your self-perception.
I'm currently looking for answers for a
similar problem. I am 25 but sometimes
mistaken for a 17 or 18 year old. To make
matters worst my voice hasn't fully
cracked yet. My first thought was maybe
I'm one of those individuals with slow
growth rate or my body just isn't
producing the required amount of growth
hormone.

Well, during puberty the body changes from
child to adult because of hormones.
So, maybe you should ask your doctors for
hormones..
Good luck ^^
