The Truth About This Special Time In Your Life

According to what we remember from pamphlets geared towards 6th-grade girls, puberty is regarded as one of the most awkward and scary stages in a person’s life. It’s a time of horrifying physical transformations, scary new feelings, and growing interest in activities that you are still not old enough to engage in legally. Common symptoms of puberty include: braces, frizzy hair, baby fat, having a crush on 8th grader Steve Julius, blinding body odor and lame extracurricular interests like the violin or Bedazzling.

However, if personal experience has taught us anything, it's that there are experiences in life far more awkward, scary and pathetic than puberty. Here is a list of things that are:


WORSE THAN PUBERTY

DEBATE TEAM: Are these things worse than puberty?

1.) Falling down on a patch of ice in front of strangers last night.


2.) Asking your friends if Steve Julius’ new girlfriend is prettier than you and not getting the answer back that you were sort of counting on.


3.) Getting to a point in your life when the only shoes you use anymore are bright white mom sneakers – no matter what the outfit or occasion.


4.) Being a full-grown adult but getting your beauty tips and reviews from websites geared towards 15 year olds.


5.) Feeling like you were your coolest, thinnest and most attractive at the age of 10 (a.k.a. peaking prematurely).


6.) Being told you're a total cougar...and you're not yet 25.


7.) Leaving the club/party around midnight because you wake up at 8 without trying, and you're starting to wind down around then.


8.) Still getting shipments of Girl Scout cookies from your mom.


9.) Trying to make a reference that EVERYONE should get, like Jem and the Holograms, or Castle Greyskull, and being met with blank, wrinkle-free stares.


10.) Ordering "whatever beer is cheapest" at the bar because that way you might be able to afford 2 and still pay rent this month.

    Puberty? Pretty bad.

    Getting Girl Scout cookies from Mommy? Fucking superior. Hell yes.

    True. So that ends that debate: getting girl scout cookies from mommy is NOT worse than puberty.
