The Awkward Years link up


Okay, so I wasn't a horrible looking kid. When I was really small, I think I was even cute.
But then...the awkward stage hit. It should not be called the "terrible twos", it should be the "terrible twelves". I mean, who looks good at twelve? These are SERIOUSLY painful to post! Hahaha. I was the epitome of awkward from about eight to fourteen, which seems to be most people's worst years. 
 If you are my facebook friend, you probably saw that I posted this :
We had the same hair. Exactly the same. Thanks, Mom.
 I wore that hat ^^ to church. The shirt is buttoned all the way. And those bangs? Wow.
I guess I thought, hand in the pocket? Not awkward enough. Go ahead and touch the flower.
I give everyone permission to laugh uncontrollably at those photos. 
OH my gosh. I don't remember EVER smiling with my mouth closed?! WHY couldn't I see that it looked horrible?!?!
Still not attractive, to this day.
Still not finished being awkward though.

 I am fourteen in those two pictures. Not quite as bad...but still. You can't see it but in the second picture I am wearing a shirt that says "America's Next Top Model" bahaha. I feel that it is necessary to put some recent photos...because I don't want to leave you guys with those.


You guys should link up! This is too much fun! :)

8 lovely notes:

YOu have definitely out-grown the awkward stage.
And honestly, i was dying at that picture of harry potter! :)

Bahaha! OMG! Love the flower photo, though I have to say it's because of your commentary, not the photo itself. And the harry potter photo! HA! Found you via the link-up.

Love the Harry Potter stage! :) It is absolutely AMAZING what hair does for people...Myself included!

Katie said...

Oh my goodness the Harry Potter photo. I had a boy hair stage too in about 2nd grade but don't have any of those photos at my house. Never a good idea.

Glad we have grown past the strange phases :)

haha...what a great post Jessica! :) I have had that awkward stage as well!! I think you look so pretty in the 14 year old pictures of yourself! You are such a great girl and you are very pretty :) Thanks for posting the pictures and all!!!

Lacey said...

HAHAHAHAHA!! Jessica, these were amazing. I love it because now I know there are others out there who were just as awkward as me growing up! Hahaha. The flower/hand in pocket picture CRACKED me up. Which is bad because I'm at work. Hahahaha!

Ah, thanks for making my afternoon :P I don't think I'll have time to post my awkward photos, so I hope Amy does this again!

those are some pretty awesome (awkward) pictures! Completely in agreement, with the "terrible twelves"... I've got some pretty ucky pictures from that age!
