This is a photo of me from 2001 aged 12. When I show my friends it they say I look 16.

Do you think I look more mature than my age in the photo?

You definitely look like puberty hasn't hit you full force yet.

Is that a good or bad thing?

Neither. It just means you look more like a kid than a man in that picture, which seems appropriate for the age you were when it was taken.

My teacher described me as a “Handsome lad” when I was 12.

I will let you guys be the judge of that though :|

Makes sense, puberty is when males masculinize.

Post-puberty he’d have shaving stubble or facial hair.

I don’t know any celebs young or old.

I’d say you look like a ballet dancer. That’s a compliment. You look strong and healthy.
