The girls grew up and became women. Curves happened, hormonal changes happened etc. They learned how to put on makeup, do their hair and dress better. It happened to me and I was so thankful, the clothes t mum chose and encouraged me to wear were so childish
20+ Women Revealed How Dramatically Appearance Can Change Over the Years

Some people prefer to hide their childhood and school photos, while others are ready to share their pictures from the past and are proud of how they’ve grown and matured.
We at Bright Side like the second approach more: if these people were bold enough to reveal their old photos, they certainly have a lot of self-confidence. So we decided to include these women and their transformations on our list.
1. “What did I have to do to turn into the girl on the right? I learned how to apply makeup and stopped going shopping with my mom. That’s all.”
2. “My transformation”
3. Just have a look.
4. Stop eating so much every day? I didn’t know that was an option.
5. “It’s me.”
6. I just had to stop applying my makeup THIS way and grow out my bangs. It’s me at the age of 14 and 24.
7. “My secret is that I stopped going shopping with my mom.”
8. “It’s me at the age of 13 and 29. I don’t get it, why do we have to change?”
9. Well, if you started it...
10. This is me after I moved out of my parents’ house.
11. Something like this...
12. It’s me at the age of 18 and 28. I probably lost about 22 Ibs.
13. I learned to look chic in my childhood.
14. 16 years old and 21 years old
15. “I looked way cooler wearing my mom’s lipstick in the past than now.”
16. “I just replaced my cap with a hat.”
17. What a difference 5 years can make!
18. I stopped using my curtains as a background for my photos.
19. I found out how I can have visible eyebrows on my face.
20. 18 years old and 24 years old
21. Braces are life-changers.
22. Girls, you all look gorgeous but...
Maybe the changes in your appearance have been even more striking? We suggest that the boldest of our readers share their photos in the comments.

magic things that a little bit of self care does to us ?
Yeah! Self care is so important. Our body gives so much to us, we should give something back too
way to go, girl ❤
Seriously?? None of these women were hideous girls! How many teenagers aren’t awkward on some level?? This actually makes me sad because these women are under the impression that they were ugly or not good enough as teenagers... most of us “feel” that way - it’s called hormones... but being human is an evolution. None of us ends the same way we began. I think both befores and afters are beautiful in different ways.
Agreed. tbh i think i actually like most of the before picture, just two of them that i like the after pictures
Everyone of them where attractive in the first pic. I would have been lucky and happy to be with them before and after
