smoke cigarettes. like…a lot.

meth while you’re at it.

or, count your blessings.

I knew a kid who had straight up male pattern balding at 16. by 18 he had a horseshoe. dude looked like he was in his fifties before he was out of his teens.

Hi!!

Not sure of your complexion, but a tan could make you look a bit older.

A hair cut that fits your face shape is another thing that could age you up as well.

Other than that, I say the clothes you wear, but that can be hit or miss.

We wait ten to twelve years.

One of these?

Clothing is a good bet. Someone who’s more up to date on fashion trends may have better advice but button-ups are usually like $5-10 at thrift shops. Any color of plaid with the sleeves rolled up and the top 2 buttons undone is casual enough for most situations.

And if you can grow a beard but it’s slightly patchy, see a barber or cosmetologist that does brow and hair fill-ins with henna. It’ll be a little pricey the first time but ask and pay attention to how they apply it based on your needs then just buy the henna yourself. It’s temporary, won’t hurt your skin, and will get you through the next few years until you can grow a fuller one. It also helps to have it uniformly trimmed and ‘edged up.’ You’d think cutting it would make it look patchier but the trimming will prevent long wispy hairs accentuating the shortness of the patches and having it edged up will give better contrast against your skin.

Stress.

Lifting weights? Dressing more business casual, perhaps. That’s a tough one.

Have kids. The people with kids who are ten years younger than me look twenty years older than me.

I think there is a few things you can do. I do think the best and healthiest thing is to just take it as a compliment, but keep your ID close if your are doing something that needs verifying.

But, if you(or someone), doesnt like it, and it is causing you issues mentally(perfectly valid). Then you can not shave as close or as often, works better the thinker and more consistent your stubble is.

Dress older, this is a lot more expensive, but can look at things like chinos and relaxed jeans with polo shirts or as we are approaching winter more knitwear, you would also be looking at boat shoes or loafers. You may also find that Hats make you look older as well.

The final one is a bit more tricky, your hairstyle. Change that to be a bit longer and “scruffy”(think around the ears a bit more) or if you have a good head shape, go short or bald. This could also have the complete opposite effect as well, and further highlight the baby face though.

Bonus bad idea, get so much sun on your face it starts to go all leathery. May have a slight side effect of cancer though.

Have kids. Hair started falling out by the time she was 2

Just start greying in your teens like I did.
Really people mostly respond to how you carry yourself. Walk around like you know more about where you are at than anyone else and people will believe it.

Give up and instead try to get a role as spider man

start smoking and drinking, cut back on sleep and find a thankless job that over works you while stressing you out and underpaying you while also leaving you unfulfilled. throw in some women/partner that treat you like shit to really speed this up.

You can do it with a toothbrush. Just brush your teeth twice a day and you’ll look older sooner than you expect. It’s actually pretty annoying. You get all kinds of infirmities to help you act the part. Enjoy your youthful good looks while they last.

A good haircut can help. Get one that fits your face better than whatever standard cut you’ve had since middleschool or earlier.

Fat hides change. Get fit.

A lot of the difference between hs and mid 20s is largely about demeanor. How you carry yourself with a bit more knowledge about who you are.
