[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We're short, Asian and young-looking and we've all had the opposite problem. People thought I was a teen mother when I was pregnant with my first in grad school. My 13 year old daughter is taken for an 8 year old. For the longest time, I was not taken seriously at work. People who are outside of the norm will always have a harder time. Try to tolerate it, since you can't change it. [/quote] I have a friend whose 10yo daughter looks like she is in kindergarten. My friend doesn’t like when her DD plays with the younger kids. 10yo has friends who look like they are in middle school and definitely in puberty. It should all even put by middle school. There was a girl in my son’s grade who was super tall. She must have been 5’6” in 4th grade and maybe 5’8” at the end of elementary. She stopped growing and is normal tall height in high school. Blake Lively and Tyra Banks got teased as kids for being tall. [/quote]
