Eight years ago, when I was coming up on 10, I was somewhat tall, fairly pudgy, and had a very round face, not to mention red hair that was always a little bit shaggy. I was fairly goofy looking...
Jump forward to 10th grade, and you would find that I had decided to grow my hair long (so it decided to go out in all directions at first), had pretty bad acne, and I was starting to get whispy beard hairs on my chin and neck...I was undeniably goofy looking...especially in the oversized t-shirts I was wearing at the time. I was exceptionally tall, though, and friendly, so nobody ever bothered me, unlike my fellow nerds.
Now, at the end of 12th grade, I look like I could be as old as 24. My face has taken a decidedly less round shape, my acne is mostly subsided, I have an almost full beard, a moustache coming in, and I have long hair that I wear in a pony-tail. To compound the matter, I'm 6'6" tall (198cm for you people who use a sensical measuring system), and wear dress shirts with the sleeves rolled up. I'm still goofy-looking, though, like my dad was at my age, and still is. I'm a lot less goofy-looking that I was eight years ago, though.
