It’s Prom Season! And What Better Way To Celebrate Than Seeing 14 Celebs Embarrassing Photos

Prom represents an exciting time in the lives of high schoolers, unless of course you were one of those seniors who couldn’t possibly manage to be bothered by attending prom because it lost its appeal by your last year. If only those seniors realized that, with the exception of graduation, prom is the last time they’ll ever be in the same room with all their friends together. But what about high school reunions, they wonder. Those don’t count. You’ll be seeing your friends not as you remember them, but as their older, fatter (usually), less fun selves…that is unless they happen to end up as celebrities! When you see these photos of your favorite celebrities, odds are you won’t recognize them! Some are still going through their awkward stages, while others are just hard to identify in teenage form.

People always think that kids say the darndest things, but how often do they really take into account what they’re saying? Children are actually a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. Seriously, their minds are much less tainted with societal standards, overbearing opinions that they’ve been forced to listen to and biased news that is supposed to educate and inform people rather than work to convince them of something. They have the most unique imaginations and that alone helps them come up with amazing ideas and interesting ways of looking at things. When you take all of that into consideration, it’s actually no surprise that 15-year-old William Gadoury in Quebec found what might be an undiscovered Mayan city. However, that wasn’t his only big find. He also may have discovered why all of the Mayan cities are in their exact locations in the first place. Basically, he might’ve just connected the dots for some very important cultural information. Can You Say Genius? ...
