Was puberty kind to you?

[OriasPool]

I was the dude with the horrible horrible horrible acne that no girl wanted to date so I spent my school years either being the class clown, or the guy not many liked. (or that's the way it seemed to me then, I don't know how they really felt) I still have scars on my face because of that f***ing acne and I'm almost 29.

["Hollywood" Cactus Matt]

My hair and skin were oily. My voice was creaky, and I smelled funny most of the time - like a combination of old pickles and burnt sphincter. Guys picked on me, girls didn't want to date me - except for one girl, who was from another school, cheated on me constantly, and still to this day is an annoying twit - and I was not nearly as witty as I thought I was.

Plus, I was a wrestling fan/nerd/pothead, which pretty much meant I could hang out with, like, five people on a regular basis and not feel like a complete tool.

Puberty was kind, no acne, hardly any spots. My voice broke and that was it. I could have done with growing a couple more inches but oh well.

It's the underactive thyroid that has caused me grief. *shakes angry fist*

[Deleted]

Pretty much, yeah. I've never really suffered from acne. I was fat before, and fat after, but at least I can grow an awesome beard at 20.

[Starlight Starbright]

I got (and still have) acne and dry skin at the same time.
I still have scars.
I still don't have sizable boobs.

All that pain for nothing. By pain I mean menstruation that caused hospitalization because of it's severity. From the age of 10 until recently I've had terrible periods- that kind of pain made me detest my gender and really think I came out with a raw deal. It felt like my body betrayed me.

And I've never even thought about trying to fit in. Just seemed like a waste of time.

[The Line]

it was a gradual process, so it wasn't particularly bad, but not great either

[Bullhead]

I went from being the most adorable little blond haired cherub you ever saw to the big ugly retard I am today. So......no it wasn't.

You can have mine. ;D

Yeah, really. I'll donate to that cause.

I used to be in such good shape. Now, I'm getting the under-moob crease I've feared for so long.....

[Rorschach]

Well...(checks self out) everything dropped down like it was supposed to, I got hair where there needed to be hair, and my voice dropped to a kickass deep register.

So yeah, it wasn't too hard on me. I've gotten out of shape recently, though. Moobs starting to creep up, and I need to start doing monstrous amounts of pushups to combat that.

[Hawk Hart]

I thinned out, got taller. I retained my baby face. Kept my good skin too.

I have oily skin, if I went a day without washing my hair it'd look like I dipped it in oil.

I guess puberty was a so so time, I had some acne nothing extremely severe and I have some scars aswell but I think everyone has atleast a few.

I've been able to grow a beard since I was 16, I grew a nice amount of chest hair so it looked proper not but gross and thank god my back hasn't followed.

I also grew my personality and my size in the pants so all in all looking back today I'd say it was a good experience at the time you'd have probably gotten a different answer.

Also if you have that kind of menstruation pain, did a doctor ever figure out what was causing it? That sounds super shitty, I know just general abdominal cramping is very painful so I can't really imagine what it would be like to go through that.

And I noticed you said until recently so did something work to take that pain away?

[Jelly]

Pretty much yes. I got little to no acne at all, and even for the occasional pimple, you could barely see them thanks to the freckles i have.

I also grew a totally sweet size set of boobs. Except I was such a tomboy through high school that I didnt appreciate them till I was in about year 11 or so.

Your back says otherwise.

My puberty was pretty kind. I got taller, not fatter and had very little acne problems. My voice just seemed to get naturally lower too, with little 'breakage'.

[Dave the Dave]

Well I was a short, loud fat kid. I turned into a tall, quiet chubby guy.

I'd say that's a step up. I never really had acne issues or any real problems. Just lost some weight. And sweet sideburns

And to quote some guy on Cheap Seats:
"From Abraham Lincoln to Charlie Chaplin, puberty gives you awesome facial hair."
(I can't find the clip)

[Shy Guy]

nope. tall, scrawny and awkward.

and no boobs.

[S-Chrome]

Began with an average height and was highly slender. Through rigorous exercise (Mostly push-ups), I got much bigger, and even clumsier than before.

However, at 23, I still have sparse facial hair, and thankfully, no chest hair to speak of.

[Ultimo Chocula]

I had acne. Bad. I had one of the worst cases of swamp back you've ever seen. It was really gross. I still have outbreaks at 32 but not even close to what it used to be.

But to make up for it I gots this sexy sexy voice. I've been told by several ladies it's quite the turn on. My face kills it though...

[Franchise]

At first, it sucked. I'm a musician, and when my voice changed I went from the only male alto I knew to a baritenor, and now I'd even consider myself a baritone. Physically, at first I didn't like it, but as I got a bit older I actually think I'm kinda handsome. But not that much.
