I'm 13 and I still look like a child. I feel like all my friends look mature and older and I still look like I'm 10. I've tried to use makeup and different hair styles but they aren't working. I even stepped up my wardrobe. Nothing will work! Some people say that my long hair makes me look young but I look even younger with short hair. I feel like I'm less appealing than my friends. I feel like a child when I'm with them and that if we ran into some guys that they would pick then over me because I look so young. Please help me!!

I used to feel the same way when I was your age. Now I'm 66 and am so glad I look young!

Concentrate on your personality and your character and general behavior. Don't act like a ten-year-old.

The fact is, you are young, and you are a child. You shouldn't look like an adult at your age, or more mature. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up.

Listen to the advice you've just been given.

Be glad you look younger. Trust me, when you are older, you'll appreciate it so much more!

You are a child. Would your parents allow you o have a boyfriend?
