Same here. I was so insecure as a teen. Plus, I looked like a kid and that's usually the last thing you want as a teen. I do think confident people are more attractive because they shine and they have a certain glow that makes them more attractive. I'm not into egoists and narcissists so there IS such a thing as having too much confidence (it is annoying and it makes you less attractive), but I do think a bit of confidence and maturity is needed.
For reals.
And to jump on the "then and now photo bandwagon"
2006 - I was almost 17 in this shot. Was my senior photo.
2011 - Senior year. I'm 21 here. This was for a friend's photo shoot.
I dunno about you but I think I look better in the second shot. That's just me though, thoughts?
Aaahhhh the beauty of youth. The shiny hair, smooth forehead and sparkly eyes are what age takes away. But age takes it away far more slowly than the unhealthy habits people are talking about in this thread. So stay away from those and you can hang on to this for a lot longer.
Awww, I don't think mine has faded at all yet. I think I'll have it for a while yet.

Go to all the soccer games in my neighborhood and have you translate the swear words for me? Hee.
Actually, I have an Antonio Carlos Jobim CD and some Elis Regina CDs. I will be studying up on them (where they sing in Portuguese).
Yay, I await your arrival!

Unlike most Brazilians (seriously, I think more than 90% of the population here treats soccer as a religion), I do not really like soccer, but who could pass an opportunity to teach swear words to foreigners? Count me in!
By the way, if you like Elis Regina, you should listen to her daughter, Maria Rita. Her voice is incredibly similar to her mother's: she is amazing.

Portuguese is the one with the lisp, right?
Depends on the region. In Portugal, there is a very noticeable lisp, but here in Brazil, we have wildly different regional dialects, not unlike the US. I guess that is to be expected, since this country is ridiculously large and diverse. For example, the city I live in, São Paulo, has noticeable influences from the Italian immigrants (one of them was my great-grandmother, actually).

I could swear this is not the same girl in both of these photos.
But then again, it's the Internet and no one here can know who we really are or what we really look like.
It's good to stay anynomous though because there are many people in the world who would take advantage of innocence.

One can change a lot in 5 years, no?
I am careful about what info I do share. I would never reveal my address or anything like that. That would be stupid as there are people who would try to find me. For what purposes, I don't know but I'm playing it safe.

Many Americans eat processed foods or fast foods, they also lead party lifestyles of smoking and drinking, this could be a factor in why they age quicker. Europeans look younger because we eat organic natural foods and tend not to drink in excess, it just depends on how you look after yourself.
I don't know; I agree that there are a lot healthier choices in Europe. I lived there for a while and I noticed their organic fruit was amazing and there weren't as many fast food restaurants. I cannot say I agree with the "tend not to drink in excess". I drank more in Europe at 16 than I do in America at 22. I did also live in Germany and I'm sure countries vary (not to mention the legal drinking age).

To prove the OP's point, Keanu Reeves is immortal. I dare someone to find me an immortal woman.
