I was in a salon last week and the girl made a comment that i was 16 when i told her i was 23 she had a different look on her face! The fact you look younger then you are is a good thing but you wont appreciate it till your my age. Just nicely mention to them that its not your fault you have great skin and if that all the can tease you about it not worth getting upset over. Im sure your boyfriend can stand up for himself, i wouldnt worry too much love Ms_Iwal

Country Woman agony auntLook at the end of the day when all your friends get older and you have the younger face then good for you, at this age it feels awful for you because of the teasing but in years to come, you won't be the one having the botox pumped into your lines on your face but your so called friends will - ha, you will have the last laugh later.

These friends are just not friends, if they were and they knew you were this upset about it then they would back off.

Your bf and you are fine and that is what you have to concentrate on right now.

If you get the teasing tell them to grow up as it is getting boring now. Do these so called friends have bf themselves or are they just jealous and so they are just getting on the band wagon because they have heard something.

Tell your bf that you don't feel at all immature but don't go out to prove that you are grown up either as you don't have to do that.

Tell him to stop logging onto his myspace if he wants to avoid all the hassle of the jibes from his so called mates as well. Give yourselves some space and just spend some time alone together without all these immature friends.

Don't stress over it, it will blow over once there is someone else they can tease instead.

Keep smiling eh!

nologo agony auntProbably you should ignore his mates.

How dare they judge you by your looks.

There will always be some really narrow minded people around.

What you do should be much more important than how you look.

I know one person who looks like 20+ while being 14, and I know another one who looks like 18 at 30 years old.
