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.) Friends who contact you to make plans so you plan your day around seeing them and then mysteriously  disappear when you were actually supposed to meet up.

2.) Friends who make every conversation about them.

3.) When your message waiting indicator beeps on your cell phone and you get all excited about your message only to see that it's a confirmation that your most recent bill has been paid.

4.) When you're waiting from a really important call about a job or something and you see that you have a call or a message and you get all excited only to realize it's definitely not who you were hoping it would be.

5.) Not knowing basic rules of English grammar even though you were an English major.

6.) Tragically bad haircuts on people who could have otherwise be totally cute.

7.) The decline of Luke Perry's career - there's still a job for you in my heart, Luke!

8.) Knowing that, in a hostage situation or horror movie, you'd be the first to go.

9.) Ominous didgeridoo music.

10.) Ugly child actors - seriously, there are any number of parents willing to prostitute their cute children, why EVER cast the ugly ones?
