Middle School/Junior High.
Need I say more?
I’m pretty sure it’s the most awkward segment of life- for everyone. Seriously, you’re either too fat or too skinny, full of acne, you wear the most hideous clothes (usually because of peer pressure), your hair is a downright atrocity- and the worst part of all is that, at the time, you have no idea just how painful it will be for your future self to look back at pictures of you.
As for myself, I think I got hit by a freight truck of the aforementioned awkwardness. I was chubby, had braces, had frizzy hair that I simply could not and would not wear correctly, wore sweatshirts all the time along with “skater” shoes because my friend said they were the only cool shoes to wear, was obsessed with Eminem and Lord of the Rings, and best of all…I got my period. Umm…let me tell you, abso-friggin-lutely NOTHING is worse than bleeding through at school. It truly is one of my most horrifying memories: standing up from the lunch table, feeling something very strange going on in the seat of my pants and a girl from a grade above me running over to say, “Oh my God! You must have started your period!” I’m fairly certain my face was as red as the blood gushing from my vagine! Ohhhh……it was a terrible time. Terrible, terrible time.
On that note (you are probably weeping right now at the graphicness of the above imagery and also at how pathetic I was), it’s good to know that we all change. As a matter of fact, I’m still changing and hoping that someday soon I shall finally come into my glorious own. It’s not fun being 10 years younger than your closest sibling and having that sibling be one of the most beautiful women ever, but I’m holding onto the fact that when she is 45 and developing deep wrinkles, I shall only be 35 and living it up! Muwahaha! Sorry Noni, I love you, but I’m a jealous biotch.
