All of this BEFORE the age of 15...then from that point on your extemely sun-conscience?
is judging your parents aging an accurate way of determining how you will age?

Here's some info I found...

Intrinsic aging, also known as the natural aging process, is a continuous process that normally begins in our mid-20s. Within the skin, collagen production slows, and elastin, the substance that enables skin to snap back into place, has a bit less spring. Dead skin cells do not shed as quickly and turnover of new skin cells may decrease slightly. While these changes usually begin in our 20s, the signs of intrinsic aging are typically not visible for decades.

How your parents age is a good sign of how you're likely to age since you've got their genes, and aging is somewhat of a genetic thing.

Repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions and smoking.

Do different clothing materials have an SPF? If so, how high would that SPF be?

I'd say that UV rays can penetrate thin curtain fabrics because what's stopping them? But I doubt they'd be a major cause of premature skin aging, unless you're pressed up against the window for hours. Different cloting materials have various SPF, but you'd be more concerned about premature aging of the face, which you're probably not going to cover up with material. If you want clothing with SPF, then you'll likely want that factor to be as high as possible.
