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.) When people mistake a relative for being your significant other.

2.) Realizing that the IRS legally owns a 3rd of your past, present and future.

3.) When you make eye contact with someone on public transportation and he's not cute or young in any way but you keep making eye contact just because you know he's looking at you and it triggers some kind of instinctive response to look back.

4.) Realizing that someone you do find cute and age appropriate on public transportation is not even remotely noticing you.

5.) Turning to public transportation as a means to gauge your attractiveness to men.


6.) Rolling out of bed, stumbling into the kitchen, and on the way...stepping in pet sick.

7.) Womyn's naymes with unnecessary "y's."

8.) Having the highlight of your night be licking the batter bowl from the pan of brownies you're making...for yourself.

9.) Wrong colored ketchup (who wants to eat "purple?").

10.) Being more pumped about seeing a burger king "The King" commercial than the show you're watching...and for some reason don't turn off...
