18 people reveal the cringiest thing they did as a kid that still embarrasses them.

Just when you think being a kid is hard, you get to enter the hormone-fueled frenzy of bad decisions, braces, sweaty hand-holding and writing &quot;nobody gets me&quot; in a diary covered in depressing song lyrics that are the teen years...So, when a Reddit user asked, &quot;What&#39;s something you did as a kid or teenager that still embarrasses you to this day?&quot; people were ready to confess to their most cringe-inducing awkward phases or crimes of fashion. R.I.P, lace-up-the-side low-rise jeans and studded seatbelt belts.1.
