High school students in live-action films and shows very often look older than their real-life counterparts for a very good reason: they are often played by actors who are old enough to have finished high school. This can sometimes result in a paradoxical effect: teens that look more like actual teens (either with real teenage actors or in animation) are described as looking "too young" (see Reality Is Unrealistic). Conversely, actors in their early-to-mid-twenties, especially those who make their name in these kinds of shows, often have difficulty being taken seriously playing characters their own age.
