I have always looked very young for my age, I'm 30 now and people consistently gues I'm 20-22. On many occasions I have been treated in a condiscending way because people assume I'm too young to have any real life experience. Yet I have been entirely responsable for supporting myself for half my life. (Yea I know that puts me at 15, that's another story) During that time I have learned a thing or two. But since I have a "baby face" it's generaly assumed that I have a baby's wisdom. I think that my experience has given me enough perspective on age and what it means that I don't really judge people by their age, but by how they percieve themselves.
