Most of us go through that awkward, often pimple-filled stage in life before time works its magic and we mature into adults who’ve finally grown into our features.
Most people just grow out of their adolescence and turn into older versions of their earlier selves. But some, some people transform into totally different looking people.
Check out these 20 people who shared their ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of how time completely changed how they look.
1. “16 to 20. What a difference 4 years make.”
2. “Early 20s to yesterday at 30.”
3. “12 to 20. I promise I was always a girl.”
4. “14 to 26. I was so proud of that ‘mustache.'”
