People Share The Most Cringeworthy Phase They Went Through As A Teen

10.

There was a time in my mid-teens where I could grow my sideburns out but no other facial hair to accompany it. I thought the sideburns looked cool on their own, but upon further review, they did not.

I LOVED WWF growing up. I had a couple of cassettes with some of their walkout music. If my mom was sitting around with her friends, I would put on a song, usually Stone-Cold, Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels, then proceed to "walk-out" acting like them, standing on a random item and raise my hands to the crowd. I would take it as far as I could before the embarrassment took over and I would hide in shame.

I'm a super white ginger dude who is not cool at all.

I used to wear a gold chain in high school and actively "studied" on how to be hip. I hate it, I hate thinking about it, and I hate you for making me think about it again.

In high school I would wear cat ears to school. Every. Single. Day.

As a current middle school teacher, I am happy to tell you that others have taken up the cause in your absence.

There were a good few years during ages 12-15 where I tried to convince everyone including myself that I was a robot. I have no idea why. I had all these explanations as to how I grew (pneumatic bones) and how my brain was actually a computer. During truth or dare my biggest secret was always "I am actually a robot".. so cringey. Everyone thought I was trolling but to be honest I actually believed it myself.

Now looking back I kind of view those times as undiagnosed mental issues that presented in weird ways, but by god everyone thought I was the weirdest person ever and I don't even blame them!

I wrote poems and songs about my boyfriend (now fiance) when we first got together in our early teens.

He still has the damn papers and hides them from me so I can't throw them away. I cringe so hard remembering the sh*t I wrote.
