Why is it that most everybody thinks I'm under 18?

Well in case you're older than that, then you should be happy with their impression. Means you have a young, playful soul that will never grow old. : )

I'm 16 years old.  Glad to know that not everyone blames the more idiotic questions on this site exclusively on the younger set.

It clearly states "under 16".\n\nYou are not under 16.\n\nJust make sure you have your ID on you for his sake.

You are considered an adult by law at the age of 18.  However, even the government knows that 18 year olds aren't very responsible since that legal drinking age is 21.\nI believe you are considered an adult when you start acting like it.  When you can support yourself on your own, behave responsibly, and own up to your own mistakes.

I'm getting the impression that you're kind of young.  At your age this is a perfect kind of question to ask your dad or parent.

Answer from an old fart. You're 13, Im 55. Even though I'm much older, like you, I want others to see me as I see myself. They see me as my occupation, my age, my looks; none of those is me.\nThe few people who really know me see beyond that. It took many years until they could.\nPeople who *really* know you will be able to see you as you really are, but it takes patience.\nNo 13 year old has patience. Forgive my geezer point of view, but stick it out. It will get better, unless you're a jerk. Then it is not a good thing if people see you as you really are.\n\nDick

You dont have proper age verification.

After several years of chatting it is possible to aproximately tell the age of someone. Of course, there is the mistake factor besides that someone can always play on you purposely, and there are always marginals. Usually, I make mistakes when I have a preconcept or when I am afraid of mistaking, in which case I give some years more. The key is to be intuitive and watch for signs, gaps, thoughts, etc. Or simply, start never asking the age, and start your inner guessing game... It will become as easy as determining the sex of someone, and quite enjoyable once you get the grip of it.\n\nWhat I do is divide into groups: under 15, 15-20, around 20, around 25, around 30, and above 35. Then I try to sort the person into a group. Takes a couple of lines of chat, and no rush... By the way, you can make your own cathegories :P\n\nUsually, younger chatters do not undertake the iniciative in chat. They stick to stereotype questions and insist for answers. They get confused easily, and run out of chat material. They often use the plz, for example asl plz... One can always take over the convesation where wanted. The around 25 cathegory, which is your  person's 23, are people who are obviously not under 20, and do not have the "seriousness - complexity - iniciative" or way of thinking - if easier understood, (dont hold to the exact words) of those around 30. They are mature, yet not experienced...\n\nPeople can always lie about what they say, but can harder/never lie how/the way they say what they say. (Only some 5% of people are nature-born liars...)\n\nThere are always more hints, but the overal idea is that you should use your intuition rather than be conclusive. If you are not into all this, you can always use the cam... :P\n\nHmm, who would lie to have 23?\n\nWhat age would you give me?\n\nFrom your question, I can conclude that your age... :P

Thats all open for debate now. Some say 13 and some say 18.\nThere is a lot of adult stuff that is for adults only and a lot of people who are really bad online. Just like the mall you have to becareful of whos around you and what you say and do.

A lot of people assume a child is very young, like a toddler, and a kid is anywhere between about 8 and 12. In fact, they both mean the same thing, but a kid would sound more mature.
