Now, another site is capitalizing on our sense of narcissism: Before You Were Hot invites users to submit an embarrassingly awkward childhood photo and story, along with a photo of their present-day, presumably hot selves.

Whether or not you actually believe that all of the "afters" are, in fact, hot, the site is a great confidence-booster for your inner 13-year-old; don't worry, someday you will be happy with your appearance.
