People have definitely said to me I looked 15/16 :v
I tried to grow a beard multiple times but it never really turns out good.

Eh, I'd say cooldudez likes this  When Dora isn't available to watch, Pornhub is his solution.

People always mistake me as a high schooler. one person thought I was in 10th grade last year even though I was 20 at the time.

Ironically, when my grandma came in while I was streaming, she said about you, "Who the hell is that old man?  " EDIT: Sorry if this looked like a random bump I only made just to act like a C-word. I only accidentally found this thread again.

I have received a number of comments over the past few years about looking younger than my actual age. It's quite annoying, because I personally think I look like i'm 19 years old, especially considering the fact that i'm 6 ft 1'. I don't get it. * When I was in Year 8, a kid in the grade below me approached me as I was about to walk out the school gate. Kids in Years 7 and 8 were going on a school excursion to the cinemas, so there was a big group of kids there (which I was apart of). Anyway, he asked me if I was in the same grade as him. I've always been self-conscious about myself, so his comment peeved me off and because I thought he was being a smartarse, I just ignored him. Twenty minutes later, he asked me the exact same question at the cinemas. At that point, I told him that I wasn't and then he never went up to me again. * I did ten-pin bowling as a school sport back in Year 10. When I was at the AMF bowling alley one day for sport, I was having a conversation with one of the teachers and she was surprised when I told her that I was in Year 10. She thought I was in Year 7 or Year 8.  * When I went to a wildlife park near Hobart back in January 2017, I got into the wildlife park for free, because the receptionist thought I was under 16 (which was the cut-off point for having to pay a fee to enter the park). * I went into an ANZAC Day march in Wollongong a couple of years ago and there was a volunteer handing out pamphlets to kids who were watching the march. I was handed one.  * Sometimes when I go to my local newsagency or pay for fuel, women who serve me at the counter call me "darling". I'm an adult now, I don't want to be treated like i'm still a kid.

Ive been mistaken for anywhere between 16-21 by different people so I guess that means I pretty much look my age.

I didn't even know "darling" was a term used to address kids. To make sure, I looked the definition up, and it's used to address beloved people.
Sometime in the second half of elementary school (grades 3 to 5), my art teacher would call us "darlings" and the boys didn't like it. So maybe it IS used to address kids?

It's usage might be slightly different in the US, but down here at least, most people use the word "darling" to address a child or just a young person in general. It can be used to address beloved people as well, however it's generally not as common.

A door knocker asked me a few minutes ago if I had a child, because he thought I looked a lot older than my age. How can I receive a comment about whether or not I have a child, when I more often than not receive comments about looking younger? He was probably just talking BS though.

^^ Haha it happens 
. . .
I'm always thought to be younger, I'm almost 19 but people usually think I'm still in secondary school, they like to ask if it's school holidays now or how my exams were. It's always been this way and I used to really hate it, but tbh, I don't really care now. It's a plus that people never check for my ID when I go out and order student meals, because I forget to bring my ID half the time or I'm just lazy to dig for it, but I still get to save $$
It's funny though, because I do a lot of my work online, I communicate with some people through voice only and they always think I'm older, like 25 or something I've once even had someone guess I'm in my forties

Haha. Your lucky that you can get away with forgetting to bring your ID with you! I never forget to bring my ID with me now, but just after I had turned 18, I had a really bad habit of forgetting to bring my ID to bistros and clubs. It took me quite a while to finally get in the hang of taking it with me everywhere. Now I never forget it! It's interesting though how people's perception of age can drastically vary from one another. I mean, when you think about it, it doesn't make any sense for someone to look younger and older than their actual age. You wouldn't think it would be possible. I think I could get away with saying that i'm 17, but that would probably be pushing it and i'm not sure if I would ever want to try to lie about my age!

Well, 2 years may not be that much of a difference looks-wise if someone is a late teen or young adult. At least around here, it's pretty hard to tell who is in what year once they start college. 17, 19 or 21, even 23, they all look similar.
