These Are Definitely The Most Awkward Class Photos You’ll Ever See

Class photo day always came crammed with pitfalls. By definition, they document our lives through our most awkward years. So there are a lot of opportunities for failure: bad hair, bad clothes, weird glasses. Remember that time your buddies dared you to cut off a chunk of your hair? And you did it to be funny? But then you remembered that tomorrow's picture day? Oops. That was a mistake. Or you think you look slick in the moment, but when you look back at those pics years later, woof. So check out these kids who definitely didn't bring their A-games to these awkward class photos.

Pro tip: Don’t try multiple trends on photo day. Pick overalls or a deep V or a funky print, not all three.

Probably not someone you'd like to know later in life.
