Basically you would have to click on this link to answer my question.

I am 17 (Turning 18 in July) and I am just wondering if some of you think that I've grown a lot over the years not. The really early pictures are from like 2005-2006 sort of thing, and that first picture on the top left corner is from 2003. The most recent ones are from late 2010-now.

I am asking this because I don't think I have changed too much physically and emotionally, and in terms of facial expressions etc. I don't really look like a normal 17 year old, and that bothers me.

Feel free to tell me what you think.

What the heck does a "normal" 17 year old look like?

A "normal" 17 year old would have an adult-like face.

You're only a few months older than me, but look several years older than me. Or I look several years younger than I should.

You look normal to me? Your beard makes you look older too. I don't look my age, someone thought I was 17 lol. Looking younger isn't really a bad thing, people pay thousands to look young again.

Pffft. That is so freaking vague that it defies logic.

A 20 year old looks significantly different from a 30 year old. 40, 50, 60 years?

I suspect your worry about "appearing" a certain age has more to do with how you feel about yourself in general than how you actually look.

You look terribly sad compared to your childhood photos.

Why worry so much? You look normal enough for your age, I think your perception of yourself may be a bit off but thats normal enough too
Really wouldn't worry about it

I'm in my late 20's, am going grey, missing quite a few teeth and still get asked for ID occasionally.. So I guess I don't look my age Doesn't bother me in the least, unless I have forgotten my ID...

You are 17? I am 16 and you look WAY older than me.

Then again, I am not known for making accurate judgements about people's appearances.

You look exactly like a 17 year-old going on 18 to me. A little boyish, maybe, but that's no bad thing and you'll be happy about that when you're past 30!
Don't worry about it - the really big changes are probably kicking in around now.

Unfortunately that's true.
