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.) Not understand the logistics of social networking software so you end up friending someone you actually wanted to block.

2.) Having people in your life that create so much drama that blocking is a legitimate tool.

3.) When you block someone because it is just too emotionally taxing to have them around in your life but then finding out the other person never even realized they were blocked because you don't mean enough to them for them to stalk you.

4.) Social networking in general.

5.) The fact that a terrible Justin Timberlakey movie is being made about the heinous troll-like beginnings of facebook.

6.) Having "your thing" suddenly become trendy, making you look like a trend-ho.

7.) The sort of cleaning that takes you an hour and a half to do, but which no one notices (i'm looking at you, freshly-dusted slat blinds).

8.) Wet socks.

9.) Bloating

10.) Trying to tell yourself it's just bloating, even though you know it's 5 pounds.
