Do you have...acne? Clumsy limbs that just don't coordinate when you want to saunter up to and impress that chick? Underdeveloped arms? Weird, spiky hair that doesn't sit the way you want it to? Beady little eyes?

Here's a message of hope from someone who's been there, done that--you'll grow out of it! Just look at me! I've conquered all of those growing pains and have become King of the Coop. Well...except for the beady eyes part. For some reason couldn't un-beady them. ;)
