The internet has again captivated its audience with before vs. after photos showing how much boys and girls have changed since their childhood days. The intent of sharing photos by people worldwide is to prove just how hard puberty hits. Unarguably, puberty can be tough, yet it’s something everyone, including YOU, has to go through, despite its awkward and annoying process. It’s inevitable and can’t be escaped! 

The phase literally enjoys pulling jokes on humans, and truthfully, no one could tell of its outcome. You possibly must have often taken a glance at your old photos and shudder at the sight of an awkward teen who has pimples filled on the face. But then, it’s all over now, and the nightmarish of these teenage years are now over. Without any further ado, we’ve rounded up photos of people who’ve embraced their new selves and let their confidence shine from within. Have a look, get inspired.
