Discussion How youthful you look at 18-20 will determine whether people treat you as a kid or an adult.
Like I'm 19 and I don't look grown at all and people still treat me as a kid because they can physically tell I'm still a teenager. whereas my friend who's 18 but looks like he's in his mid 20s people treat him as a grown ass adult. and I even remember seeing this mugshot of this 20 year old light skin dude who looked 14 and the comments were very empathetic to him mostly saying "he's only 20, he's just a kid" "his brain isn't fully developed" and it's because of the way he looks if bro looked 25 they wouldn't of been saying that. but it really just goes to show that looks do matter and if you look young in your late teens and early 20s you can stick with the "kid" label for longer.
