REMEMBER THAT PERIOD of your life where you spent most of your days tripping over your own feet, going red for no reason and feeling ludicrously uncomfortable in your own skin?
In other words, remember the horror that was puberty?
Unless you were extremely fortunate, you likely spent the years between 12 and 15 feeling like the world was against you, no one understood your plight and you were never going to grow into your nose.
It was a gorge time; just gorge.
And no matter what decade you hit puberty in, none of us were alone in our despair, and should you ever begin to doubt that, Twitter is on hand to remind you that we were all in it together.
