What is there to say about being a teenager that we didn't wish we could forget already? Everyone does whatever they think will make them look cool. The problem is, that's hard to do when you don't have any real experiences, skills or personality. Everyone's flying blind. If this isn't enough to give you flashbacks to your blunder years, here are some more cringey high school moments.

This 17-year-old put on a show of foolhardy immaturity when he took to spilling a luxurious lie on Facebook. Little did he know that the Internet will likely always be there to work against him, with evidence that uncovers the truth of what he's hiding behind hastily-created lies. In this case, he gets properly shut down. And then others start to chime in to offer their encounters with bullish liars.
Sometimes adventure strikes when you least expect it.
This teen in Lidl went out for bread and accepted a ride from a stranger when she offered to take him home. Before he knew it he was being taken to a job interview at an old folks home.
In a ridiculous role reversal this mother had her teen daughter send her fake texts claiming she had been injured so that she could skip out of work early.

Almost every "challenge" is dumb, but some are dumb than others.
Sure, the Mannequin Challenge was pointless and the Backpack Challenge, more so, but few rival how stupid the Ice and Salt Challenge. That's because we know exactly how stupid the Ice and Challenge ends: With second- and third-degree burns.
There has been a recent resurgence thanks to YouTuber "Ughitshayden2," who was somehow the second person to want the YouTube name "Ughitshayden." Lots of people are pretty disappointed that Hayden is doing something. Well, at least two are.
According to The Daily Dot, this whole thing is making a little bit of a comeback. "The YouTuber responsible, Ughitshayden2, is seemingly the only one trying to make the challenge trend. While a Fox affiliate claimed that the challenge 'sends teens to the hospital,' the article doesn't mention any specific and appears to be referencing the June 2013 incident."
Stop doing this, dumb teens.

Much of the Pokémon GO coverage thus far has been centered on whether or not Niantic's finally going to get it's sh*t together with server issues, if Articuno is actually legit in-game, and a steady procession of people making stupid mistakes/hurting themselves cause they were caught up in trying to catch their 170th Magikarp.
But today, today we've got a quick little heartwarming Pokémon GO story for you:
Arizona resident Angie Swartout and her autistic son, Ty, were busy enjoying playing Pokémon GO together when they were approached by two male Arizona State University students in Tempe Beach Park, who sprayed the two with BBQ sauce and then yelled, '“Yeah, we got the [r-word]!”
After the terrible incident, Angie Swartout's daughter took to the Pokémon GO Facebook page to ask others to unite and take a stand against such immoral behavior.
“If you see something like this happen, please don’t stand idly by. Even if you can’t do anything about the people that did it, help the family. My poor mother had to wash her and my brother off with a bottle of water. She was humiliated. And for what??? She had no reason to be humiliated, but those 2 ASU students certainly need to be embarrassed by their behavior today.”
This post inspired a wealth of hugs and gifts from compassionate neighbors in the Tempe area. Angie Swartout told ABC15:
“I’m so grateful. I’m just so grateful because if this wouldn’t have happened, we would still be hiding in our house like a lot of families like ours do. And I just can’t thank everyone enough.”
Everyone has an embarassing video of when they, their friends, and their suspiciously normal/smaller lips made a music video to their favorite idol's song. We were all young once, right?
This video is a perfect mix of awkward celebrities when they were young and a reminder of how awful being a preteen used to be.
