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.

WORSE THAN PUBERTY

DEBATE TEAM: Are these things worse than puberty?

1.) Planning your life (including your work schedule) around the release date of Twilight movies.

2.) Having a really dreamy guy in your small office who does not acknowledge your existence in any way shape or form, not even for a traditional platonic morning greeting. Does this mean we aren't soul-mates???

3.) Reading a good quote and immediately thinking about how profound you will look when you post it on facebook or as your gchat status.

4.) When your favorite author is actually a blogger who writes about reality TV shows. Richard Lawson from Gawker, holla!!!

5.) Getting star-struck talking on the phone with a beautician whose videos you've watched on youtube.

6.) When the friend you're talking to has bad breath.

7.) Realizing, too late, that YOU were the bad-breath friend

8.) When the back of your legs stick to and/or sweat on plastic or leather chairs

9.) Actually considering arch support.

10.) Being told you're "too old" for the Chuckie Cheese.
