So I was looking back at some picture from high school and realized just how much I have changed in such a short time.
Top 2 pictures were taken right after highschool (yes, feel free to laugh at me lol), bottom 2 about 2 years later... and honestly I dont think I even look like the same person anymore.
So GaG... lets post some embarrassing pics with at least 1 year difference! Either your style, or just general apperance! Or have you stayed pretty much the same?
Let me know!
How has your appearance changed since high school (or before)?
Yes. I am better looking than I was in High School. Although, I will never be pretty, I look back at High School photos, and I don't feel as insecure as I did back then. I still unfortunately have a masculine face, but I've learned how to make myself look more feminine and I have lost weight.
In High School, I was overweight, my hair was extremely frizzy, I had bad acne, my face was even more masculine and chubby, I didn't know how to pluck my eyebrows properly, I wore baggy clothes until my early 20's and I had glasses.
In my early 20's, I realized I'd never have a pretty face, but I realized that I did get more attention since I lost weight. Once I was done High School, for some reason the weight came right off. Now I do everything I can to keep fit. I do everything I can to make sure my hair isn't frizzy. My acne cleared right up. I wear form fitting clothes. I have contacts now. My face doesn't have much of a boyish look to it, although I do have a huge nose. I make sure to work on my eyes because they are basically my only good feature.
I think on average I made myself go from a 2 to a 4 or 5. I am never going to be the girl that guys look at twice but I look better than I used to because I take care of myself.
Okay... Personality can be developed but good looks = NOT POSSIBLE. I bet if you had a parrot face like me you won't be talking about personality... #GypsiesAreHot
@IceEverest Lol my friend ice seen some fairly bad looking people both guys and gals who are in wonderful relationships at the moment. Looks only open the door a great personality keeps you in the room, but if you looks worry you just experiment with different looks, haircuts, facial hair styles etc and find the one that looks best. Eat right train hard and develop your personality and your confidence. A girl is out there for ya somewhere.
This was from sophomore or junior year of high school. The only difference for me is that I was in the "growing long hair but still not long or short" phase haha
@Levin Growing younger might've been a good thing if it was growing younger from, say, 40 to 30, but not so much of a good thing when you're growing younger from 17 to 12 :p
Back in highschool I had a big booty people gave me the names : miss cakey, pattycake, big booty judy, nicki minaj, Jlo well they used to say my booty was bigger than JLO's, my face was a little more fuller and i looked more feminine sensual & seductive, I looked very mature at the time and didn't need excessive makeup to look good... now I look very different my face looks a bit more masculine my face lost its fullness, my jaw is more defined, my butt is almost flat, I look a bit washed up without make up, but with make up my face i seem a little more feminized also I no longer look sensual I look more "innocent" rather than vixen-looking... just like my personality changed completely so did my apperance its like im a completely different person (due to religious reasons)... ill be honest though even though i have better morals now I miss the old me just because I was curvier and more feminine looking I was like very sexy... now im so simple and sweet but lost my sensuality so my curves kinda faded I guess the fact that I surpress my sexuality and now have a low sex drive i probably dont produce enough estrogen which makes the woman more feminine and curvy, .. I mean I was never sexually active BUT I had a high sex drive back then I was very hormonal...
Omg, so much transformation! You looked soo beautiful as 16 year old , and from the attitude you are giving in the pic it is very clear that you knew it very well that you are beautiful ! Sort of airy. Lol. Can't believe it's the same girl in both pics :)
@multilevel :D What happened in the 16 year old me picture. My friend had gotten my attention. So I went to look over at her and then she snapped the picture.
Bit you look as if you know you are very pretty and hence arrogant about your looks :) bit intimidating sort :p I bet you scared a lot of guys away as a teen!
@Daniel961 Due to my pale skin. It blinds the camera flash so it doesn't show the detail of my adult acne. Though that's the only different and along with my upper lip piercings.
I feel like I'm always the same... My facial expressions changed and they look more "mature" and stronger (?), but overall I still look like a kid. Last year someone told me I looked 16... that hurt lmao Me as a little kid (on the right) https://i.imgur.com/ysyfGn3.jpg 18 years old me, I look like I was sleeping -_- https://i.imgur.com/Ikw25Vp.jpg
I'm 27 in 3 days. I get reactions of shock from people when I tell them my age. asking if their reaction should be taken in a positive or negative way, I am always told it's good that I look younger. at this point people estimate my age at around 20-ish. So my question to you is, why do you believe it can get a little annoying? I heard some girl saying that under-aged guys hit on her because she looks younger than she is... Is this the same for you?
Freshman year of high school vs senior year of college. Lmfao at my side bangs. What was I thinking? This is before I discovered makeup and how to do my brows. Right before my acne came too, but you can see the beginning of it. i296.photobucket.com/.../...9%20PM_zpsq3zcy42f.png
In highschool I didn't put much thought or effort into my appearance. I was 5'4" and 180 lb with long frizzy red hair, glasses, and never wore a bit of makeup. I went to college and played softball. I am still 5'4" but 142 lbs now. I have learned how to care for my hair better as well as apply makeup. I still wear glasses (my boyfriend likes them) and every guy that rejected me in highschool has tried to hit me up. Other than that, I still have my dad's nose and my mom's smile. I didn't get super hot like some people do, but I think I did pretty well for myself. lol
I'm not going to post pics of myself, but I can say I have definitely changed since high school!
I have always been bigger, but I have gained a bit of weight since high school. I used to think I was really fat back then, but I wasn't really that bad. I had an adult body as a teen. My boobs were really big and I had broad shoulders. I didn't have to worry about filling out a dress.
Today my boobs are even bigger and I am several inches taller. My hair is not as long as it was, but it's lighter (because I have dyed it!).
I'd say my overall appearance is better. I had severe acne as a teen and it was difficult to manage. It's since calmed down a bit, though I do break out from time to time.
My style has also become more refined. Mainly because I now have money for clothes.
It's been almost 10 years from high school for me. I'm kind of glad I grew into who I am now. I am far more confident than I was in high school and feel very positive about my future :)
You've made a very good transformation my friend, fair play. I am definitely a lot better than what i used to be as well. I had the same glasses as you in the top left pic but had more of a milky bar kid look going on lol. Particularly happy at the fact that i have grown to be 6ft1, heights always an advantage. At the same time there's still room for improvement, id like to become more muscular as im quite a skinny guy for my height at the moment. Once i get my dissertation finished at uni ill be back at the gym all summer :)
I changed a lot, as you can see below I was always ugly but when I was younger I was more xD. I was clearly much fatter than I am today when I was 16 than I am today. I think that the change was positive, physically I've never been better.
Well, it's been more than 10 years since I was in high school. Not that I was trying to, but I have packed on some pounds and in fact have gained more than 70 pounds since then. I certainly look like I have gained weight, but not that much. If anything, you probably would only think I gained 40 or 50 pounds. The first few years out of high school I was the same as I was in, as I kept somewhat in shape. So, I'm guessing if you don't keep working out, you eventually will bloat just like I did. I guess I should get back in the gym and get that physique that I had in high school.
Style is in my genes. I got a little thinner that's about it. I'm more comfortable with my nerdiness. I'm a little more outspoken nowadays. I still don't really know how to do the insert picture thing but my appearance hasn't really changed too much.
I have changed since high school. I think I look better now. Back then I had a chubby baby face along with some baby fat and the 90s were brutal with some of the fashions. My grad pic I have longish dark hair with a big blonde streak on the side with blunt cut bangs. It looks terrible.
Well... I use to show a lot of cleavage in high school on purpose by wearing low cut shirts. It was so embarrassing and trashy, looking back at it. Yeah I have big boobs but that doesn't mean the whole world needs to see. So now I cover them up as much as I can. A little cleavage shows here and there but not as drastic as it use to be. Modest is hottest 💁🌼
Awe you were adorable xD I'm still in high school, but when I was younger I would wear skirts and dresses, and I had an unhealthy love for the color pink. Now I wear black, and I always stick to my t shirts, jeans, and sneakers. I also ot purple hair as a sort of way to fit in here. It's a dramatic change.
