11 Struggles People Who Look Young For Their Age Will Understand

I can't tell you how many times people have been shocked to learn my age. Granted that 23 is still very young, but I've been turned away from an embarrassing number of bars. I also remember giving my car keys to a parking attendant when I first interviewed for my job here at POPSUGAR and getting asked if I was old enough to drive. He thought I was 15. And that's only one of many occasions in my lifetime. I wonder how I'll feel once I actually do stop looking "young for my age." But until that day, here are 11 struggles I deal with on the daily that all of you baby faces will be able to relate to.
