Side partings suit me, but my hair keeps trying to go back to the centre!

It can be annoying sometimes though- How am I supposed to do the "cute, innocent, little sister" look now?

I'm just not over keen on playing Mums and Dads any more.I get a lot of stick at shcool for sounding like my mum - I have quite a posh accent which I despise, as I now go to a state shcool. When you hear that your great aunties going to have an operation because she eats and drinks to much it kinda gets to you - the fact that she doesn't care about any diseases and she drinks way too much alcohol. I think it's bad enough watching her suffer with out kids doing it too.JellyxxJelly

I have the same problem, I'm 17 but since about 15, people have said I look about 23 or said so how old is your kid and I was like what.. I'm 15. As I got older I know it's only two years but still the oldest I have been told I look is 23, so you'll probably even out!! lol

What you said about 'fags' and alchohol ruining your lungs and liver is true however you only said that because it made you sound precocious. And then by saying
'Oh, god - You see, I even talk like my mum! Spooky.'
You pointed out that you basically see yourself at the maturity level of an adult when it comes to views on illeagal substances, you may feel like you look older and act older, and perhaps you are mature for your age, but do not get maturity confused with wisdom or experiance. You're 11 years old! Enjoy you're youth! I never had one.

Oh well...Natalie04, why the hell do you want to buy fags and/or alchohol?? Yay, lets all wreck our livers and lungs before we finnish high shcool! I'm sure you're normally very sensible but blooming heck.Oh, god - You see, I even talk like my mum! Spooky.Jelly.

 I have the same problem! I'm 15, but I have been told I look 18 and older. But that could be to do with the fact that I socialise with adults rather than people my own age, so I guess it could be learnt behaviour, it's not always to do with the way you look, but the way you hold yourself infront of other people...
