The blunder years are the most formidable parts of your life. Thankfully, our parents were there to photograph every moment of it.
In my opinion, if you look back on high school and are happy with everything you did, be it outfits or bad hairstyles, you’re very lucky. I think most of us had a serious “blunder years” phase and unfortunately, every photo we have to look back on is pretty cringy but good for a laugh.
Everyone goes through a phase at some point in their life. Maybe you were a goth or super emo for a portion of high school.
Remember your blunder years? People are sharing the cringiest photos from their “blunder years” and it will make you call your parents and ask them to send you their old photo albums.
