I'm not short, but I'm 21 with a baby face and everyone thinks I'm just a tall teen. I get stared at a lot. Especially when I'm out in town without my husband. People just automatically assume I'm a single teen mom and it's very frustrating.

I'm 24 & someone told me that I look 13. One lady said something smart and I got with her. I'm grown, pay my own bills , married soon to have two kids. It's annoying though

I am only 5' 0" and when I was a nanny I had 3 boys that look a lot like me and I was pregnant with my son and I got rude comment after rude comment and I would speak up! Most the time it was older ladies and I would come back with well how old was your mother when she got pregnant? And then they would usually shut up and apologize. I was 19 when I had my son and people still think I am 14 or 15 and I am 23 engaged, out of school, and pregnant with my second. Once the bump shows more I am expecting the rude comments.

People are very judgemental and for some reason think people are hard of hearing. I one time cussed out 2 ladies in Walmart I was 16 and I look very young for my age and I had.my niece in my arms as she was terrified of public places and my sister was in a dressing room and after listening to them for 5 minutes I lost it... And I still get looks when I am in public with my belly and I'm 22 as well. Ladies will look at my belly then at me and shake their heads. Or just stare of my belly... Needless to day I try and cover up with a large shirt or I'll move behind my mans arm to block my belly because I get self conscious... I liked it more when people thought I was just getting chubby.. It really pisses me off because my daughter was planned, I love her, and I am excited to show my belly off when I am with friends or family but feel like I need to cover her up when I go shopping or on a walk with the dog

I'm only 4'11 and my boyfriend is 6'1. Im 18 and he's 25. If I ever heard anyone say anything about us I'd speak up and tell them off. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and very happy. I get told that I look like I'm 15. When our son is born I'll be 19 and my boyfriend will of just turned 26. Everyone tells me how huge the age difference is between us and we shouldn't be together. I ignore them or I start cussing. It would tick me off if somebody I didn't even know said something about us.

I too am very short. I'm 23 n I'm 5ft. I can't stand when people ask if my son is my little brother. Haha.. I just say...umm no, hes mine. Then they go on to say I'm too young to be a mother and I have to tell them I'm actually 23.. one Lady asked for my ID bc she swore I was 12.
