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.

DEBATE TEAM: Are These Things Worse Than Puberty?

1.) Having to choose between the various bathroom options available in the third world.


2.) The fact that networks like Bravo, MTV and VH1 produce only about two hours worth of new shows a week but think that’s enough to fill an entire week’s worth of programming.


3.) Realizing that you are so old relative to the newest generation of Hollywood heartthrobs that the appreciation you can have for them is basically maternal.


4.) The majority of people who record themselves singing song covers on youtube.


5.) Making up excuses in advance as to why you can’t go out during the weekend and have to stay home curled up on the coach.


6.) Calling your mom on the phone and finding out she still has your entire troll-doll collection...in the specially-built display case you used...back in the day. Sure, back in the day...


7.) Lindsay Lohan's weird freckles


8.) Running for 10 minutes and having to stop because your arms hurt. Seriously, your arms??


9.) Running, ever, at all.


10.) when that guy next to you on the train tries to 'secretly' fart. And then you have to 'secretly' worry that everyone thinks it was you, while 'publicly' covering your nose.
