l'm aging fast,, like really fast.

[SenseOfTumour]

I'm 37 and look about it, so can't really add anything personal, but a couple of choice quotes I remembered:

Jon Snow, newsreader - 'I used to wish I had less grey hair, now I wish I had more of it'

Arthur Smith, comedian - 'If you want to know what you'll look like in 50 years time, look at your scrotum now.'

I feel for you mate, but don't worry about it. The more you start stressing, the older you will feel;(it's a very vicious cycle!) As for me, well...
I'm not feeling particularly old.

 

[Broken Orange]

When my sister turned 20, with me being a year and half younger, we realized that we are two decades old. year 2000 seemed so long ago, but was just ten years ago. *sigh*

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Well I know a guy who has had a bit of grey hair since he was 16 and has kept it. It is due to stress so no you are not aging to fast. Although this is coming from the guy who had to start shaving properly when he was 13 but I am sure there is worse out there.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Opposite. I'm nearly 20 and people seem to think I'm about 16 or 17.. I take that as a good thing, it probably means I will age well in the future too.

I'm 21, but I still get ID'd when I want to buy an 18 rated game or booze, and one of my mother's friends thought that I was still in high school. My brother on the other hand, has just turned 18 and (as far as I know) never been ID'd because he can grow a beard at the drop of a hat and is tall.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'm 24 and going gray way faster than I'm comfortable with. Seems like I'm cursed with bad genes from my mom's side of the family, where almost everyone (both males and females) go gray at a really young age. With a little luck those same genes will keep me from ever going bald though.

I constantly feel like I'm older than I'm supposed to be anyway. There's little I wouldn't give to stop aging for just a couple of years.

One day I'm going to grow up to be a scientist and find a cure for aging, just you wait!

 

[MalloClam]

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?

If you're worried about aging too quickly, I suggest moving faster. The closer you can get to the speed of light, the better.

 

[Blair Bennett]

I'm 16, but am often mistaken for someone more around the age of pre/early adolescence. However, that's none too surprising, considering that I have about the same mental capacity as someone that age...also, I'm not particularly busty, which could also be a factor.

However, I've got a friend who's just turned 17 a few weeks ago, and a lot of the time, people think he could be anywhere from age 19-24, as he's about 6'3" and has ridiculous sideburns.

 

[Souplex]

Maybe it has something to do with ethnicity. All of my male Filipino friends have grey hairs and are all around 18.

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

I've had grey hair since I was 20. I'm 24 now and still get carded and asked what high school I go to if I am wearing makeup. Other wise the bags under my eyes give away my age.

 

[DocBalance]

I'm told I look anywhere from 18 to 29 when I grow my beard out.

I was 15 when those comments started. I'm 16 now, and they don't stop unless I shave. It's kind of awesome

You won't be saying that when you're 25. ;P

Pfft, I can't wait to look like an old man. If I woke up looking 60 and still feeling 16 tomorrow I would be cool, not like I care what people think about my looks anyway.

 

[Ericb]

My family's genes kick ass. We simply don't look our age.

When I say I'm 27, people are always shocked. The whole family on the mother's side gets that.

I've had grey hair since I was 20. I'm 24 now and still get carded and asked what high school I go to if I am wearing makeup.

Congrats on coming forward with the age thing. Most girls post-20 just won't talk about it. So stupid.

 

[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.

 

[jmoore4ska]

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..

 

[arsenicCatnip]

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.

 

[ace_of_something]

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.

 

[skitzo van]

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

 

[Daipire]

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

There was a 16 year old who looked about 40.
