Every girl has struggled through at least one of these. The only good part about this list is that for most of us the awkward stage doesn’t last forever!
- Getting food stuck in braces
- Having anxiety over which color combination to get for your braces
- Taking out your retainer before lunch
- Raccoon eyes a.k.a eyeliner on both top and bottom of eyelids
- Figuring out how to discretely bring a tampon to the bathroom
- Towering over your boy crush
- Acne that no amount of make up could cover, especially since you had no idea how to do your make up
- Battle wounds as a result of learning how to shave
- Caterpillar eyebrows
- Unavoidable underwear lines because all you owned were granny panties
- Having to rely on your parents for rides, mainly to the mall, movies and you’re friend’s house
- Having a chaperone at the mall, movies and at your friend’s house
- Having a boyfriend you never actually hung out with but being utterly heartbroken when your longest relationship ended a month later
- Picture day, you’re just thankful you can only see from the shoulders up
- Your wardrobe which included Juicy sweatsuits, Coach purses, and Uggs
- School dances, they might as well should have had one for guys and one for girls
- Accidentally forgetting to scribble out your notebook love doodles which included Mrs. (you’re crush’s name)
- Having to read out loud in class while simultaneously praying your face wasn’t turning bright red
- Constantly changing who your best friend of the week was
- Your hair which either had a poof at the top, was scrunched and some form of bangs
- Baby fat even though you hope it’s still baby fat that you have to loose
