15 People Who Show What Happens When Puberty Hits You Like a Truck

Puberty likes pulling jokes on all of us, and we never know the outcome. Some of us look at old photos and shudder at the sight of an awkward teen full of pimples. Luckily, it’s all water under the bridge now, and the horrors of these teenage years are forgotten.

Bright Side found 15 people who finally got their long-awaited lucky ticket.

1. “I lost weight and got into fashion. My face shape also naturally changed toward my late teens and early twenties.”

2. “Everyone who was mean to me now regrets it and tries reaching out.”

3. “My 13-year-old self and me (22) now”

4. “Starting to get confident again.”

5. “From very awkward teen to very confident woman!”

6. “Not super drastic but I started taking care of my skin and hair more.”

7. “Shaved my head, learned to do eyeliner, and got contacts this year. I’m glad to finally see a difference.”

8. “Lost weight, started taking care of my hair instead of using damaging products, and aged, obviously.”

9. “I ate like a monster as a kid but I’ve learned I’m sensitive to sodium and that really helps with the puffiness.”
