Health & Beauty: Worst puberty experiences

What are the worst puberty experiences you have experienced when you have hit puberty other than periods and deep voices?

I have experienced:

  • Growth spurt
  • Acne
  • Sweating
  • Growing hair in unwanted places
  • Pimples
  • Greasy hair
  • Mood swings
  • Weight gain
  • Body Dysmorphia
  • Peer pressure

Safe to say that puberty can cause you to grow apart from people you used to be close with.

I think my worst experience was definitely the hair. People made fun of it for being greasy they used to call me names like “sunflower oil” and “barcode” (because of the fringe :neutral_face:) to the extent where I had bad tonsillitis so I had gone to the doctor where there was this boy who used to make fun of me on the bus, he turned to his Dad and told him what they all call me and his Dad laughed. It had a very negative affect on me to the point where I washed it every day and it got really overwashed and unhealthy. Part of growing up for some people involves greasy hair and I wasn’t the only one in my year who struggled, all I know is that I tried so hard to keep my hair at a point that people didn’t make fun of it.

Fast forward and I decide I want to get my hair dyed, it couldn’t be more healthy now. I wash it once a week and it’s never been/felt better.

Always remember that if somebody can’t fix something within ten seconds you shouldn’t bring it up.

The stretch marks that I got from the growth spurt are still pointed out by people. Say for example if I raise my arms and my shirt goes up a bit people will see the marks on my lower back and be like “ohhh where did you get those?”

Greasy hair is terrible, I know how you feel. I always feel the need to wash my hair each time I have a shower because I’d feel dirty. I usually shower after a workout at the gym because of course you’d be sweaty and wouldn’t want to go somewhere smelling of sweat. Puberty sucks big time!

Stretch marks? Don’t think I can relate to that because I never have them but cellulite’s, definitely because they’re absolutely embarrassing when you want to wear something that you like.

Yeah cellulite is definitely a struggle but I hear there are creams that can reduce it.

As for stretch marks they kinda fade over time mine used to be purple but they went white over time, you can still see them but they aren’t as obvious.

Really? It looks painful when they’re purple.

They do, they look more swollen but the actual growth itself hurts more than the mark. Gosh I remember growing pains.

I call puberty…involuntary plastic surgery which is figurative!
