Since you are from China, it is just really natural for us Asians to look actually way younger than our real age. However, if you actually seem younger than your other friends with your same age, look at the bright side. You will thank that when you grow older. When I was 16, my mother told me I look like 12 years old. That relly hurt me ALOT actually. But as I grow old, when I turned 18, I started to look like my age. I somehow thank that I look younger as it is an advantage.

I think that's actually an advantage for Asians. Most really look young for their age. Unless they are really young, I don't see it as a disadvantage. When they are really young, and look younger, they might not get jobs of responsibility because they'd be looked at as not mature enough. But for people who are really old-er, looking young is a definite advantage!
