I'm 23 now, but I still look like I'm in high school, so I still have to put up with it. Eventually, you just learn to let it slide, unfortunately.

That's terrible! I know it probably won't stop for me either, I'll probably look the same at your age as well. I have achondroplasia, or acute dwarfism. Every woman in my family stopped growing at 15-16. My mom and Grandma shop in junior's. People still ask my mom if she is 21 when she buys alcohol. She's 48!
EDIT: well of course you are required to check ID, but most people don't beleive her age.
