I completely empathize. I was covered in pimples too, including a giant one on my cheek bone for the graduation photo in my yearbook. Luckily I too cleared up and learned to take care of my skin, my face. Very happy for her.

I would not have realized that this was the same person. He now also has a haircut that suits him.

Wow! Your current self is hot!

It counts. Yes, you count. ;)

Staring at the camera like that probably didn't help... 😂

please dont be offended but you look like Claire Dunphy

Wow, pretty smile!

She looks like a teenager in her thirties!

I feel you. Gladly it made me a better person. Be kind everybody.

Awkward duckling, but not an ugly one.

learning how to smile is always a big help

Again, not an ugly duckling to begin with.

You look younger, did you age backwards. Glad you're doing so well now.

Oh the lovely teenage hormone "balance".

Looks interesting and happy in all pics. It's beautiful to see how style is changing, too.

wha- but- HOTNESS

This doesn't count as an ugly duckling. Dude was fine before.

Pretty face in a 80's hair.

Never an ugly duckling, but you sure are glowing now. Happy for you!

OMG, that's cute! 😂

No, she says she was with someone who made her feel badly about her self worth. And she believed him. Sometimes it happens slowly and you don't know you're being abused until its too late. She got self confidence once she was out of the relationship and then worked on herself. Total respect.

Not the same person.

Your eyes are great the way they are.

I liked her old hair colour but still pretty in both

Don't you wish when you were younger that you had a clue how you'd turn out? Beautiful.

Momma is cool

Not really an ugly duckling transformation as you were never ugly.

Dude lost the guyliner.

It's so nice to have you with us today.

That pic actually made me giggle.

thats a pretty tall shoot up!! Awesome

Hope you still like Rammstein tho...

He had to grow into his body. Nothing wrong with his teenage self.

Beautiful in the old photo! And very nice natural hair colour, if I had it, I'd keep it forever.

You were never ugly.

Do explain the first photo 🤣

Guy on the left looks like a young Andre the Giant. Inconceivable!

Beautiful now, cute then.

Breh those abs

You were never an ugly duckling, but definitely better fashion.

Did she get a nose job?

It's okay to be gender queer, you being more comfortable with your body and style now, that's the win here. 👍

cute in both

So cute then so handsome.

Such a pretty smile in the before picture

Before and after morning coffee :D You look great. Awesome smile!

yes u did!

Is it just me or does he look a bit like Elijah Wood in the first one?

Look at those eyes!!

aww the classic deep part comb over emo style lol
