It's safe to say that our teen years were a mess. Our bodies started developing in awkward ways, we dealt with acne, raging hormones, and we had no idea how to cope with it all. As adults, celebrities can seem so polished that it's easy to forget they they too, went through puberty just like we did.
Now, we get to see some our favorite famous people in their teenage glory — and, it's for a good cause, EW reports. Nick Kroll, whose new Netflix animated show Big Mouth centers around the trials of growing up, challenged celebs to reveal their teen selves on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert stepped up and offered to make a donation to Hurricane Maria relief for every celeb that participates. Thus, the #PuberMe hashtag was born. This writer has family that lives on the island of Puerto Rico, and is thrilled to see celebs doing something simple for a great cause.
