When growing up coincides with glowing up.

In case you weren't aware of it, the slang term for overcoming your awkward child/teen years and turning your ugly duckling self into a beautiful swan is known as a "glow up."

Now that you know, you'll certainly agree that these folks 100% qualify for that term. It just goes to show that there's always hope - and also that you're often better off once your parents aren't making your styling decisions for you.
