Dear MIMsters: Me Looking Like a Child Has Become a Problem for me

How do I manage this? I am 19 year old. I will be 20 this year. The problem is that I still look like a fourteen or fifteen year old kind because of my baby face and slim physique.

Imagine, I went to church last week Sunday and I was told to stay with the children at the Children’s Church. I took me explaining myself and telling them my age before they knew.

Currently, I’m in the University but I’m still being treated like a child, even by people I am way older than. A lot of people do not believe me when I tell them my age. The only time they become convinced t that I could be more mature than I look is when I open my mouth to speak. Then, they can differentiate between the thoughts of an adult from that of a child.

This is a problem for me because it is beginning to affect my self esteem. I am always very depressed because of this.
