6 Embarrassing Things You’ll Do In Your Teen Years And Likely Regret Later

You know how we all have embarrassing photos or moments from our past that we wish we could erase and forget about forever? Yeah, well, celebrities aren’t immune to those either – something you would definitely know if you’ve ever looked at old school photos of certain celebs. While some look just as gorgeous as ever, some stars have the unfortunate luck of a cringe-worthy school picture resurfacing.

But I can’t make fun of Celebs too much – I have plenty of terrible school photos to look back on myself, and I’m sure everyone else does too. Let’s talk about it! Here are 6 embarrassing things you’ll do in high school that you’ll regret later. Live in the moment, though, right?

Caring Too Much About What Other People Think

Everyone says this all the time, but it’s really true. In high school, I spent a lot of time worrying about what my peers thought of me. Now, I really don’t give an eff and it feels great. I wish I was always like this! Take my advice: stop concerning yourself with what other people think.

Not Standing Up For Your Friends or Yourself

People in high school are mean. They’ll be mean to you, and they’ll be mean to your friends. It’s easy to sit back quietly and take it. But it’s better to stand up for yourself and your friends. Be the bigger person! Later in life, you’ll regret the fact that you never stood up to the bullies.

Funky Beauty Trends

Who hasn’t tried at least one super regrettable beauty trend? Whether it’s a silly hairstyle or ridiculous makeup, we’ve all experimented with weird beauty stuff before finding what really works for us. In most cases, that’s because that weird beauty stuff was popular in the moment… but not so much in the future.

Any Embarrassing Photo From Your Awkward Stage

We’ve all had an awkward stage, even if we don’t want to admit it. It happens, and it’s fine. In fact, it should be something you embrace rather than feel embarrassed by, because look how far you’ve come! Depending on how long your awkward stage lasted, you’ll definitely have some photos of that moment in time that you will want to burn in a fire.

Getting A Terrible Tattoo

I really don’t want to sound like your dad or grandpa, but there’s a reason why you have to be a certain age before you get a tattoo. It’s because tattoos are permanent, and sometimes we do things without thinking them through all the way, especially when we’re in high school. Please do not get one without seriously thinking about whether or not you want this on your body forever. I know too many people who got regrettable tattoos at a young age and had to pay a lot of money to get them removed or cover them up.

Being Really Mean To Your Parents

I know, I know, I probably sound like your mum this time. But really: one day you will regret all of the nasty insults you continuously hurled your parents’ way, even if you felt it was deserved in the moment.
