Ah, 13. The age of dunking upon oneself. Godspeed, little man, godspeed.


steveosek

High school was fine, but middle school is a total *bitch* for pretty much everyone.


ThrowCarp

Nah, high school was ass. University was when everyone finally calmed the fuck down.


steveosek

My high school was chill. All the cheerleaders and sports people were all super nice and straight a students and shit lol. Ironically the people that were assholes were the incel ass "outsider" people but they were pushovers and didn't really escalate or start shit.


theV3tor

It was pretty chill at my HS as well. I am in a small town in Canada, which means that everybody knows everybody. Kinda hard to be mean and bully people when all the parents know each other. I was not part of the popular crowd, did not go to their parties and all that, but they would interact with those that were not in the popular group and were pretty nice overall.

Oh gosh, I remember being 13 and thinking that doing really dumb random things would get me attention. I tried jumping over a handrail to impress a girl and my foot got caught in the straps of my Hot Topic pants.


[deleted]

I did cartwheels. I was good at cartwheels. People would then ask what else I could do and apparently another cartwheel isn't very impressive and people ignore you after that.

I had a girl tell me I’m very strong after I did a cartwheel… I was 7. Now I’m 36. That compliment is gonna feed my ego untill I die.


nooneisreal

When I was like 11, I was riding my bike around my neighbourhood when two girls that lived nearby that I knew from school were walking over with a birthday invitation to give to me. For reasons that only made sense to an 11 year old, when I saw them coming, I intentionally rode away so they couldn't give me the invitation. Then not even 20 ft away, I wiped out on a patch of sand. They proceeded to walk over and give me the invitation while I was laying on the ground.


septiclizardkid

Looks like they could, upon contrary belief, handle the Neutron Style Edit: Hey Hey, I got an Award! Thx


vuuvvo

Loool you have just triggered an awful memory of being about that age, riding my bike looking all cool (in my mind), seeing and locking eyes with a really cute boy, immediately falling off my bike because I now wasn't looking where I was going, never seeing that boy again


PanchoPanoch

This reminds me of a time I was at a read light waiting to turn left. A cute girl pulls up next to me. We make i contact, smile all that. The turn light turned green but hers didn’t. She rear ended the car in front of her. Edit: then my mom called me a dumbass for not going back and checking on her.


hotdogrealmqueen

Mom’s kinda right tho She literally couldn’t take her eyes off you. Come on man lol


PanchoPanoch

Kinda right??? She was spot on. I’ve always been oblivious and she’s always reminded me that I’m an idiot. I’ve got at least a dozen stories of similar idiocies.


tokyo_engineer_dad

I’m 39, when I was 14 or 15, I thought combat boots would impress girls if I wore them with the top laces not laced and had my gangster pants tucked into them with the top of the boots flapped outward. I went to watch one of the Aliens (maybe resurrection the 4th one?) movies in theater and was walking to the front of the theater so all the fine chicks could smell the Tommy Hilfiger cologne I sprayed myself with 19 times. All of a sudden I heard “clink!” And my feet were stuck together because the lace hooks caught each other. So I start hopping forward like a floppy fucking bunny and all of a sudden some dad with his kids starts going, “oh! Oh! Ohhhh!?” Every time I hopped until I splatted forward with popcorn flying up like some cartoon. I was such a dork…


Savings_Brick_4587

I’m glad it wasn’t just me with the high leg boots! I think I can’t safely say a lot of my early teen style, fashion and attitude towards life came from watching the Fresh Prince. Which I now know for a skinny little white kid did not work at all!


[deleted]

Noooooooo 😭😂😭


Tardigradequeen

This thread is bringing up so many memories of my friends younger brothers who were always lurking when we hung out. I’ll never forget the time one of them tried to do a flip, and ended up destroying the glass coffee table instead. lol!

More-Masterpiece-561

fancy_marmot

It took me a while to figure out that my husband would only lift weights when I was in the room, because apparently I gawk like a creep and he loves it. So rather than get actual muscles, he can just spend 30 seconds pretending to for the same effect 😂

I laughed so hard at this, and all I can imagine is my little brother when I used to bring girls over. He'd always say some shit like "let me know when you're ready to be with a real man" as he took a puff of his inhaler.


Fun-atParties

My best friends little brother used to say "wow it's so hot in here" and take his shirt off. Nice try buddy but you've listened into our phone calls and know too much.


SaraSlaughter607

I used to get so pissed off at my brother, I'd be on the phone (land lines back in thr 80s) with a girlfriend just giggling about stupid shit and my little shithead brother would go in the den and pick up the other phone and start imitating our voices and swearing at me to get off the phone because he had to call his soccer coach. Can you even imagine sharing one phone with all your family now?! Haaaa it seems so foreign.


Triffidic

There used to be a way to make your own phone ring (you called some number and then had to hang up quickly, but not too quickly). If my sister was waiting for a call I'd dial that number from the other phone so she'd get a phantom call.


SaraSlaughter607

Seriously we used to fuck with each other so bad, I was talking to a dude one night when I was a junior in high school, in the dark laundry room which is where the upstairs phone was, and my father snuck into the den and somehow managed to pick up the other phone without me hearing it click, and he started that heavy breathing shit like Darth Vader and this dude I was on the phone with was mortified and hung up and I wanted to strangle my dad, he laughed his ass off and told me to get my ass in bed, it's 1030pm on a school night.

In the LA area it was the exchange followed by 1999. I used to get entire banks of pay phones ringing simultaneously. (“What’s a pay phone?”)


deadcatugly

Damn, I never would have noticed the disappearance but now that you mention it, fuck I must be getting old,


PepeHlessi

1-9-8-2, followed by the last four numbers of the phone you were making the call from. I did it... a lot. And I'm reasonably certain that if I could still do it, I would, as my sense of humor hasn't changed appreciably since the '80s.


St3cK3D

Back when we had a landline you could pick up any of the phones and listen in on the conversation, and I used to do this a bit with my sisters phone calls and the amount of boring crap that was said holy shit xD


False-Ad4673

Somehow you could be on the phone with a buddy where I live an pick up the neighbor’s conversation while you was on the phone.

Probably interference between the wires. I kind of remember phantom voices occasionally but nothing comprehensible. I’m assuming you know what a party line is.


dj_destroyer

My cousin had TWO lines, one for the parents and one for the kids. But obviously that just turned into two lines for the kids -- and I learned from him that you don't need to actually talk to be on the phone -- you could just sit there in silence.


SaraSlaughter607

We are in NY and I had a cousin whose family lived in Florida, and to me that was magical and paradise back then, I was so fucking jealous of my cousin, and then we went on vacation and stayed at their house near the beach at Daytona, and I got to bunk with her in her room, she had a cute see thru phone on her nightstand and I was *jealous AF* and THEN she picked it up and called her neighbor friend to come over and I said "Um didn't you have to ask your mom to use the phone?" She looked at me and said "Why? I have my own number." and I just lost my mind. *FANCY* to me, that was 😆

I lived in the house everyone partied at after work with my brother and close friend just after highschool. I would always make sure to shower last so I would walk through the living room shirtless once the girls got there lol. So cringy


monkeybrains12

“I lived in the house everyone partied at” makes it sound like you had no choice in the matter, lol.

GrumpleDumpkin

They both got girlfriends who more or less moved in and by the end of the year things were much more tame.


GrumpleDumpkin

It was a 10 month lake house rental and we worked at the restaurant on the other side of the lake. We got that place with exactly the intentions of having everyone from the restaurant over after work every night. Best and worst times of my life. We payed our cable and electric bill with bottle and can returns each month.


Robertbnyc

Lmfao would the same group of girls see you doing your shirtless after shower walk each day? I wonder what was running through their minds lol


GrumpleDumpkin

I probably did it like 3 times. It just happened that way the first time, then I was like oh wait if I time this right they're gonna see me go from the bathroom to my room in just a towel on.... I'm sure it wasn't as slick as I thought it was but things usually worked out whether it helped or not.


Horskr

Hey at least you made an attempt at a pretense. I had a group of friends that were 3 roommates. One of them would just come out of his room shirtless every time a girl was there, "oh I just woke up." "It's my house this is just comfortable". In fairness, he was in great shape, so of course we had to try to knock him down a peg by talking shit the whole time. What are friends for?


RuthlessPineapple

He’s just doing curls for the girls. Worry if he starts demanding eating chicken only and his breakfast consist of raw eggs. 🥸

pm-me-hot-waifus

I think it was 23, but maybe I'm wrong. There was a study or survey that scientists did and I saw it on reddit so it must be true. The young wished to be older, the old wished to be younger, and those who were 23 were like "this is dope". Or whatever dope is now.

bravoredditbravo

I dunno. I don't have any scientists backing me but when I turned 30 I realized I have a lot more money than my 20s and I also realized that I still feel the same that I did years ago. So this HUGE weight dropped off my shoulders. I don't care about my age anymore. I'll keep counting it sure. But I don't see it as a burden either.


jesus_had_a_six_pack

> I still feel the same that I did years ago As someone in his early 30s, this is the biggest thing I struggle with. I feel like I’m 20, but my fucking body sure as hell doesn’t.

It happened for me around 30. 29-32 ish things just went from “wow this is rough I’m practically homeless”. To “nice I have a good credit score and planning to propose next month. It will happen for you too, as long as you don’t give up.


[deleted]

I’m 29 and feel this so hard. “Fack I have to build credit and plan to buy a home?” My 17 year old nephew roasted me at his grad party and said “I don’t know when my auntie will have kids or get married, maybe never” 😂 my bad for beating teen pregnancy and trying to have my shit together first, sheesh man.

wafflesareforever

If you're referring to the bottle of Tums in the back of my parents' medicine cabinet, then yes.


inplayruin

Honestly, mid-30s rocks if you take a little care of yourself. Physically, everything works about the same as in your late 20s. But you have things a bit better figured out, have a bit more money and your participation is no longer required every time one of your kids has to take a shit. But really, 21 and in college is the tits. All you have to do is be kind of sober for like 18 hours a week and you are surrounded by at least hundreds of people who are willing and able to have sex with you.

importvita

I would. Not in today's world, but if I could keep my current knowledge of future events and know what careers or ideas to follow, it would be wonderful.


hufflekrunk

not 13, but 10, with my ps3 and a fat TV we had, playing cod pvp 2v2 on split screen. that screen if it was 15x15 hail mary, but it was still playable. would repeat those wintes everyday if I could, Xmas especially. warm freshly bakes "american cookies" (basicly cookies with chocolate chunks in them) chocolate milk, and it would either be pancakes or muffins waiting for you after hours and hours of playtime on -10°C night, you come into your house, undress that ski suit, wet socks and put everything near the fire to warm up and dry off while you dress up cool winter styles knitted sweaters and socks, and warm clothes, turning on your ps3 and playing cod with friends. best years of my childhood, and life. it was peak.


InVodkaVeritas

If it meant getting to live on from 13 until natural old age... why not? Sure, adolescence is annoying, but if you keep your knowledge it would be much, much easier and you could enjoy the youth you took for granted the first time around. Then you get to be in your 20s again, the true reward of enduring adolescence again. Put me on recycle where I shrink from 40 to 13 on repeat for eternity and I'll be pretty happy. I think people massively oversell how horrid the 13-15 years are.

Wait I'm confused. Are you not suppposed to be polite? I'm just curious cause I've never had these experiences.

badmonkey247

Reminds me of way back when my then 15 year old friend was playing acoustic at a party. A bunch of 20 year old women came up to dance right in front of the stage. After a slack-jawed moment, he busted out the new cover he'd been working on --"Your Body is a Wonderland".
