Letโs face it, weโre all embarrassed by our former selves. That means that we can all relate to these images.
Everyone goes through changes. Often, these changes arenโt sudden. They take place over years and even decades. Slowly but surely, we leave our old personas behind.
When we look back on our younger selves, we can really appreciate just what weโve been through. The 30 people below are able to laugh at who they were.
Are those vampires going to feast on that toddler?
No. Believe it or not, but theyโre the childโs parents. They have since embraced the sunlight. Soon, that child will be going through a goth phase himself.

Thereโre embarrassing childhood photos, and then thereโs this
Salami boy is the hero that we need today. I wonder how bad his acne was when he became a teenager? Just rub more meat grease into those pores!

Say cheese!
After 20 tries, this was the best shot. Surely, thereโs some kind of law against making that expression in front of the American flag? If not, then surely itโs time for another amendment.

Do you think he likes Pokemon?
If you look closely, youโll notice that he does indeed like Pokemon. All these years later, heโs still a fan. Just not a wear-your-best-Pokemon-shirt-pose-in-front-of-a-Pokemon-screen-with-your-four-favorite-Pokemon-toys fan.

Give that boy a piano and a candle in the wind
This kid could have made a killing as a tiny Elton John impersonator. Sadly, he went on to have a meaningful and fulfilling career that had nothing to do with his lookalike. If only things had turned out differently.

When you reach 30, you just want to be 15 again apparently
Because 15 is such a great year. All the joy of being too young to do anything fun. And the only job that you can get makes about $0.03 an hour.

Can you believe that this was the first time she had shaved her eyebrows?
Thereโs embarrassing and thereโs accidentally-making-your-eyebrows-look-like-the-most-evil-man-in-the-history-of-the-world embarassing. It was an innocent mistake. Just donโt get any ideas about invading Poland!

Is he on a prom date or is he trying to sell you a fake watch?
Why not both? The great news was that Al Capone didnโt interrupt the prom at all. Fingers crossed that prohibition will be repealed!

The mom refused to accept the first photo, because the kid didnโt show any teeth
Asking a kid to do something is like when a genie gives you three wishes. Be careful what you wish for. It will probably backfire.

This kidโs high school ID pictures look like they come from old MTV shows
Which year is the most regrettable? Making a judgement between blue spiky hair and that chin beard thing could go all the way to The Supreme Court. Also, notice how he looks more threatening with each passing year.

Are those pants or curtains?
This picture is from 2002. Yes, the hair, those pants and that moustache were not in fashion then. But who needs to follow fashion when youโre this cool?
