30 People Share Cringe Things High Schoolers Do While Thinking It's Cool

As we grow and develop, our perspectives and opinions tend to change, often making us view some things completely differently than we used to; and that applies to everything, from favorite pasta to reading books, and beyond.

One common thing that people tend to view differently as children is people themselves. When you’re a kid, a 20-something-year-old might seem like they know what they’re doing, when you’re a teen, a 35-year-old might look old, and when you’re a freshman in high school, seniors might appear to be so much cooler than they often are.

Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community discussed views similar to the latter, after one user asked them what was something that seems cool in the eyes of most high schoolers but is actually cringe. Fellow redditors came up with many answers, including “high schoolers” themselves, so scroll down to find them and see what other things people have grown out of or into as they closed the awkward chapter of the high school years.
