17 people proudly display their transformations and are barely recognizable
Who has never, especially during their adolescence, felt "different" in some way, not being able to accept their own appearance and wanting to be like the people considered more "beautiful" and fashionable? It's probably a phase which we have all been through to some extent, but don't worry: it is completely normal, given that adolescence - and youth in general - is a period of profound transformation, in which our body is still far from reaching its final outer appearance.
If we really want to change our look, then there are many things we can do. After all, a little effort and a few improvements in the right places (hair, clothing, maybe teeth or growning beard) are enough and our appearance can change overnight. If you don't believe us, take a look at the photos we have collected below. They feature boys, girls, men and women who felt totally inadequate but who, within a few years, understood what their strengths were and proudly showed everyone their incredible transformations!
