People Are Sharing Their “Ugly Duckling” Transformations And They Are Unbelievable

#1. Where did those freckles go?

#2. So much can change in a few years.

#3. This looks like two different people.

#4. “I must say, being an ‘ugly duckling’ — both self-described and by the perception of others — made me a much better person than I might have been had I always been ‘pretty’.”

#5. “Me, age 15, and again at age 21.”

#6. To be fair, no one looks good with a mullet.

#7. “Here’s freshman year of college (age 17) versus now (25).”

#8. “So, this is me in 8th grade and this is me now as a senior…”

#9. “A freshman at 20 and now, 3 years later.”

#10. Puberty didn’t hit this guy so much as it sprinkled him with handsome dust.

#11. “My before-and-after. I feel like I’ve improved a bit.”

#12. “My sister, before and after.”

#13. “Bowl cut + no eyelashes + lipstick on a first grader?!”

#14. “Still don’t think I”m quite over the syndrome, but I do know I’m heaps better.”

#15. “Man, I was good looking back then…”

#16. “My prepubsecent, grandma-esque appearance is still the butt of many jokes from friends and family today.”
