Well, let's start by accepting the fact that no one looked good in their yearbook photo. And even those who thought they looked good at the time, look back at their yearbook and their toes curl up from cringe at the fashion fails they inadvertently created. No one is immune to this phenomenon, not even our favorite celebrities who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

So to give you a little confidence boost about your poor understanding of reasonable clothing and hairstyles, we wanted to share with you this list of cringey celebrity yearbook photos. Let it serve as a reminder that no matter how uncool or weird your choices once were they do not detract from who you are today and all that you have built for yourself. Just look at Kanye, deemed least likely to succeed and while you might be at odds with his world view, it is hard to argue with his success.

  • Do you think that at this point in her life, Megan Fox had any kind of idea that she was going to become a star of the silver screen? That should costar with the internet’s favorite motivator Shia LaBeouf? We have an inkling that she did though, that look in her eyes looks like she is already seeing what fame is about to come her way.

  • You know the truly insane thing is that at this point in her life Linsday Lohan was just an innocent young woman. Without the weight of the movie industry on her shoulders. She probably hung out with friends, gossiped about boys and cried when NSYNC broke up.
