Nothing like seeing a 6'1", 190lbs jacked male and have him introduced as a freshman in High School. Or that fresh out of college female who's supposed to be 14 yrs old. We need more shows like Freaks and Geeks and Young Sheldon where the actors are actually the age they are portraying. Don't know about ya'll but I wasn't even 5' when I started High School and weighed all of 120lbs.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one out of the loop

She doesn’t look flat, she looks like my 16 year old friend

It’s tough, because at 16 you’ll have some young women who look almost like baby faced adults, and some who still look like kids. Plenty of women I know have stories of social anxiety or issues arising from being in either camp. Whatever age we are we tend to view other people around our age as looking like adults, and everyone else is either “old” or “babies.” As we age we forget that what was an adult then would be a child to us and remember our crushes through a filter. In film what it really comes down to is sex appeal. 16 or not the goal is to try and get as many people to watch as possible. Casting 20yo+ people gives the audience permission to not feel dirty for having erotic interest in the characters. It’s a way to allow adults to swoon over “teens” promiscuous adventures and not feel dirty. To put them back to where they were in school with peers their age. I’m glad that they didn’t go the route of so many other films by trying to covertly sexualize a “young” character.
