Why is it some people look old before their time and others stay young looking even though they are not young? Scientists have found something they are calling the "Peter Pan" gene...

I have been blessed with the Peter Pan gene...don't know how it happened since others in my family look older than they are, but I am glad that I can look as young as I feel:-)

    Well, when you hit your late 20's and beyond, you will be quite happy to look younger than your years.

    When I was in my 20's, married and with two children, I used to get pretty irritated when people would call me "little girl." That woud tick me off big time, lol...but now, it doesn't bother me at all.

    I see other women my age with wrinkles, etc...and I do not have any:-)I am happy, lol...

    When other's who are the same age as you start looking old, you will be the one everyone is jealous of because you are going to be the young looking one:) What a great feeling that will be!

    Older people could stay, or get buff if they worked out:-)
