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.) Worrying deeply over outfits for events, say weddings, where the only person you know is whoever's "plus one" you happen to be.

2.) The cost of sending someone flowers - really, $50 for daisies?

3.) Finding out that an event was costume-required only after arriving sans look.

4.) Finding out that an event was NOT costume-friendly only after arriving WITH look.

5.) Truly loving current Nickelodeon programming at the age of 25.


6.) Living with blackheads because you are too cheap to buy a quality deep cleanser.

7.) The fact that Perez Hilton can't be bothered to write his own posts anymore because he's made himself into a mogul and celebrity so all the writing on the site has turned to crap.

8.) Having 20 pound babies. Do you know how many pounds you need to gain just to house something like that in your uterus?

9.) The idea of a living thing growing inside someone's uterus for 9 months. (Sorry, I'm not exactly ready for motherhood yet.)

10.) Those giant piercings that stretch out ear lobe skin. I really can't get behind those.
