This is a tough question, because, remember, all people are very different. Here's a few reasons that I've come up with: 1. They may be trying to impress someone.

2. They may think it makes them seem "cool."

3. If they look older, they may do it to try to do stuff they're not supposed to do yet.

4. They may have seen someone else do it, so they do.

5. They may think it makes them seem more attractive to the opposite gender.

People may act older than their age due to various reasons such as desiring to be taken more seriously, seeking independence, or wanting to emulate role models they admire. It can also be a way for individuals to cope with and adapt to challenging situations they face in their lives.
