Summer of ‘09. Did anybody else have Skate Church or was that just a midwest thing?

No, it did not occur to me that my brother's beach wedding would not be the time for black. Or a full face of make up. Or Karen hair. On a boy.

This was just a phase.

My sister in law isn't in the picture but she isn't well. I thought I'd post this throwback to the edgy of seventeen, 2007, with this stunning display of goth/gay/gay goth. See if we get a good laugh out of it...

Once I had a pair of Chucks but my mom tossed em the instant they got grungy. In her defense, I hated socks as a kid. Shopped outta goodwills and those giant mystery bags from our cousins wirh money. So my blunder years were "punk/emo in spirit". I'm 39 graduated 2005 my favorite band then was Blink 182 and my favorite band now is The Talking Heads. It was never a phase just a matter of refining.

Was 19 or 20 at the time in university. The messy ponytail lasted all of a month before I got tired of it.

I definitely miss that hairline, though.

Guidelines

1 - True blunders only

Simply being nerdy just isn’t going to cut it. If you wore your “nerd glasses because you thought you were so hipster,” that’s not enough of a blunder.

Halloween costumes do not count!

2 - You must have a creative title.

No "Puberty has been good to me." or "LOL I was random!" type titles. This is rule is entirely decided by the mods' discretion.

3 - Your blunder must have been at least 3 years ago

No "still blundering"

4 - Childhood photos are great, as long as they actually depict a blunder.

Don't post a picture of yourself as a child just because you're dressed as a child, playing with your Furby, in a sandbox, etc. This isn't #ThrowbackThursday. If it's an actually embarrassing childhood photo though, then fantastic!

5 - It’s suggested that you provide a “now” picture, but you don't HAVE to.

Please post your updated picture as a comment on the original post. Separate posts that share an updated picture will be removed.

If the OP hasn't provided a "now" picture, it’s okay to request one, but don't push it: not everyone wants their current photo on Reddit. Do not go through the OPs post history and post one for them either.

6 - Ask permission if there are other people in the photo

Especially if someone else is the subject of the photo. This isn’t the place to get your blackmail on.

7 - Be thoughtful when replying

We have absolutely zero tolerance for:

Blatant insults, racism, homo/transphobia, trolling, threats, or “you’re still blundering”-type comments.
"10/10- would bang", "15 year old me would have wanted to be all over you" or "damn, you certainly developed nicely" -type comments
Creepy compliments
Certain subreddits are prohibited to linking to. Please see the banned words list.

Comments containing some specific words are automatically banned. Here is a full list.

Please report comments that violate this rule. Violations of this rule can and will result in an immediate ban!

8 - No posting personal information

This includes for yourself or other people, and refers to, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, email addresses, facebook or other social media accounts.

9 - Report content that breaks the rules

We can't keep an eye on every single post and comment in the subreddit 24/7. Don't hesitate to contact the moderators for any reason.

10 - All posts are subject to removal without notice at the mods' discretion if the post does not catch on.

We strive to keep the quality of the posts at a high level and if your post does not catch on then it probably does not belong here in the first place.

11 - No gatekeeping comments

Please do not make comments regarding gatekeeping of any kind. Examples include but are not limited to: "No blunder here", "Read the rules this is not a blunder". The first offense will result in a one day ban as a warning and a second offense will result in a permanent ban.

That’s it! Have fun and laugh at each other, and yourself!
