Default Young Guys Table Image

This is an image question, I am 21 and have a relatively baby face. In all of the Casino's that I play at, everyone is really passive with a'lot of checking/calling, not raising someones bet with above average hands such as top two or even one card straights. I raise a'lot pre-flop, sometimes with relatively marginal hands such as AJo or KJs in late or middle positions, because I like to play big pots. Anyways, people seemed to get peeved at this because they can't stand the fact that someone 10-20 years their junior is raising them and cramping the style of play. In fact, this trend leads them to calling me with worse hands, and playing back at me with almost anything because they want to "Teach this arrogant kid a lesson". This tends to give my bets less respect and it seems that I get more people drawing against me with shitty hands and in turn getting drawn out. I know you want more people in hands calling your bets with weak draws, but the game I play in there are usually 4-6 people per flop, it gets frustrating when some random dude catches his 4 outer against you because my image induced him to try to catch his miracle out as opposed to folding. I guess my question is how do I incorporate my style of play into a method in which my bets and raises get respect, instead of people trying to "Show me how to play poker". Random question, its just something that really annoys me.
