This completes my younger sister's "misery loves company so post your ugly photos" challenge. She thinks she's the only one that had an awkward stage. Puh.....leeeeeeze!
Here we are in 6th grade, the beginning of my nearly 4 years in braces. Yes, I'll take credit for passing on the buck teeth to my kids.
Now, here's 8th or 9th grade....yeah, I'm rocking the pigtails with seam binding bows.
And saddest of all...here is 10th grade. You have to understand that I was a teenager in the mid-70's, when EVERY girl wanted to-the-waist straight surfer girl hair. My hair is very wavy, so that wasn't happening. The only other option was the shag cut. Sad....so sad.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. By the time I was a Junior, I'd gotten the hair a little bit under control and the braces were off.
So there you go. My adolescence documented in school photos. Glad that's over with.
Awww, those are so cute! I do not have on5 school photo except a graduation picture, how sad is that.

I really see your boys in these pictures, and it's obvious that your pictures are much better than mine! You should really explain to everyone just how you got those awesome bangs in 11th grade- I'm sure they'd all want to know. :)

I definitely had ugly years about the same time. Always glad to be out of that stage.
Eric votes for toffee cookies.
and ditto with your sis's comment, I totally see Eric sans red hair in so many of those pics! I wonder if SPGB #1 will look like that too since she looks so much like her daddy?
