REMEMBER THAT PERIOD of your life where you spent most of your days tripping over your own feet, going red for no reason and feeling ludicrously uncomfortable in your own skin?
In other words, remember the horror that was puberty?
Unless you were extremely fortunate, you likely spent the years between 12 and 15 feeling like the world was against you, no one understood your plight and you were never going to grow into your nose.
It was a gorge time; just gorge.
And no matter what decade you hit puberty in, none of us were alone in our despair, and should you ever begin to doubt that, Twitter is on hand to remind you that we were all in it together.
1. When Pass the Parcel becomes Pass the Pad.
2. When the only thing breaking was your heart.
3. When even your parents were embarrassed for you.
4. In fact, they shouldn’t have been taken in the first place.
5. We apologise to anyone who knew us when we dressed like Avril Lavigne.
6. Things had to get worse before they got better, to be fair.
7. Everyone’s going to be jealous of how witty I can be.
8. And while it’s OK to celebrate, it’s also OK to shed a solitary tear for the old you.
9. Hands up if you did it in the third person. *Dies inside*
10. Oh, the angst, the angst.
11. Oh, too deep.
12. It’s the small mercies in this life.
13. And waiting for the arrival of its friend.
14. When your health became a source of embarrassment.
15. When you realise it’s the gift that just keeps on giving.
