Admit it. On the day of your prom, you thought you and your date looked goood. But years later, when you dust off the ol' photo album, you quietly say to yourself, "What the hell was I thinking?!"
Get into the spirit of prom season, friends, with these 16 hilariously awkward prom photos. Gotta love high schoolers. And gotta love the fact that high school is now a distant memory for most of us. Phew!

Thanks, Dad
You can always count on dad to put his own special twist on an otherwise beautiful pic of his daughter.
Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil
Not gonna lie. I have a scarily similar the exact same photo from when I was in high school.
Tuck Your Shirt In
"No, Mom, I'm not tucking in my stupid shirt. God."
Gulp
As far as prom pics go, doesn't get much more epic than this. The mom who initially tweeted this pic captioned it: "You think my son will come home from prom alive?"
Future Theater Majors?
High schoolers. If only we all were in on their jokes.
Who Wears Short Shorts?
Here's what the man who posted this to Flickr wrote:
"Me and my prom date. To this day, it's a mystery (a) why she agreed to go with me in the first place, and (b) why she didn't walk out when she saw what I was wearing."
Wedding Mix-Up?
Yes, this is a photo from prom preparation, not a wedding. And, um, kiddos? Why isn't that sparkling cider?
Try to Contain Your Excitement
Geez, man, didn't anyone teach you about playing it cool? You're all over this chick!
Are You Going to Vomit?
I'm assuming that's her dad. And I'm assuming she didn't want to take a photo with him.
Are You Going to Cry?
Okay, evidently, this girl is not a fan of taking photos with her parents.
Done With Photos
Clearly, the dude on the left is DONE WITH THE PHOTOS ALREADY!
Boys Will Be Boys
"Fine, guys, I'll take your stupid picture, but I'm not gonna like it."
What, Don't All Proms Have Swords?
Blessed is the photographer who brings swords as props for a prom.
Great Photo Op
"Okay, I'll get on the tractor, but you're reimbursing me for my dress if I rip it."
Cool Prom Goers
Guess what era this was taken in?
Flipping the Bird
I dare you to find a high schooler who doesn't think the ol' middle finger nose itch is funny. I dare you!
