i showed my students my high school yearbook photo and they all agreed that i look exactly the same, 13 years later. :D
No, I do belive it's a young Mike Piazza, New York catcher.
BYW - no teen photos from me. It just reminds me of when I had a full head of hair.

No its George Michael.
Myself. I looked almost exactly the same as I look now. I was much skinnier though.
i went through a number of wardrobe changes in high school, from wearing baggy sweatshirts...to wearing collared shirts, a black tie, and a black suitjacket...to wearing ripped/safety-pinned shirts, bondage belt, spiked choker, chains and handcuffs (my senior year homage to 70's punk music). hair went from bushy mushroom head to very short buzz cut. consistently spotty.
Voted Best Dressed in my graduating class. 
When I was a teen, I didn't look much different than I do now except for that I was 110 pounds - about 20 pounds lighter than I am now. In middle school, I dressed like a grunger - ripped pencil jeans, band t-shirt, flannnel. When I started high school, I dressed like Ducky from Pretty in Pink - bright polyester shirts, a blazer, Chuck Taylor high tops. Eventually, I just dressed in black and wore a trench coat every day. That was rather easy in terms of getting dressed in the morning.

you´re BOTH very kind, thank you! 
anyway, that´s the past. shorter hair, less beard, (much!) thiner... and i no longer have an earing anymore. it was 1996, i was just 19 and that was from my first concert. then somehow i turned into this one i am. don´t ask me how! 
well, i think i´ll be the only one doing this. come on! don´t be shy! it´s just a game. i KNOW some of you have great pictures to show, i´ve seen them!

I don't have any pics of me when younger scanned.

And is that good?
There are probably 2 dogs in there to avoid any confusion? I didn't look in these days; just listened.

So when was your picture in your profile taken then? 
If you were skinnier than that...

Have your picture hosted on something like imageshack or another picture host, then put the url on here.
A lot like the freshman pictured on the far right, from Dazed And Confused. Ah, the good old days....

Actually, that's Neil Tennant after filming the Domino Dancing video 
Pretty much the same as I do now, except back then I had terrible skin, was an inch or two shorter (I grew a wee bit after I left school) and had the worst hairstyle ever. If I showed you the pics, your monitor screens would break, so it's best that I don't. Thank heavens for hair dye, straighteners (for the curly nightmare that is my fringe) and skin tablets!
my hair was kinda long but not really. it's much longer now but thinner looking on top :( pimples. goat-tee. same height. skinnier. at the time i thought i was fat but i wish i could go back to being 150 or 160. hate being almost 195 :( clothes ranged from baggy gerbauds to gap jeans. i had 27 cure shirts. so that was basically it. cure shirt, jeans, ugly hair, pimples, fat. nothing has changed actually except the cure shirts dont fit as well :( the best pic of me in HS was yearbook picture freshman year 93. i wore a shirt that said "stoned to the bone" which had a picture of a stoned skull and pot leaves all over it. can't beleive my parents and the school let me get away with it.

Sometimes parents are oblivious. When I was a high school freshman, my mother had no qualms - or at least didn't say anything - when I used to wear a tight pair of green jeans to school. Although now I wouldn't wear anything like that.
Sebastien will probably kill me for posting this, but here you go:
We were 18 on that one, and had the same t-shirt for some reason that night... it looks very gay, I know 
We saw the Pet Shop Boys show like the week before...
kamar wrote: matching PSB shirts and swords? lmao :)
Well, the shirts weren't the high of the day, we looked stupid having the same one... and we I don't remember what was the point of taking a picture with one of our friend's swords...
hehehehehehe 
that´s what i´m talking about. great pic! the two PSB musketeers! funny both webmasters of the most important NO site around wearing PSB t-shirts ;)
good to see Nic on his "hair" days and many kilos less! but i just noticed one thing. what are those elephants doing behind you guys? whose bedroom was that? it only adds more laughter to the whole scene! 
Do you prefer this one?
I was REALLY really drunk, but at least I had a New Order t-shirt...
There's a great photo of me somewhere when I was 16, and I look almost exactly like the photo of Richey Edwards when he was the same age (bearing in mind this was the same time and a hundred miles apart, and neither of us were famous then) - thin red and white hooped t-shirt, Ian McCulloch haircut, jeans with turn-ups, doc marten boots, very thin in the face. Age hasn't been kind.....
