Yearbook pictures are rarely flattering but these high school photographs truly take the cake.

From disastrous hairdos to offensive spectacles and unfortunate clothing choices, these 20 portraits, which were originally posted on Worldwideinterweb, capture the excruciating awkwardness that, for most, goes hand in hand with being a teenager.

The collection of images range from strange to scary to just plain hilarious, with big 80's hair, uncomfortable poses, bizarre face and body paint and one student who even brings his toddler in for portrait day.
