Celebs are sharing their teenage pictures for a very special reason

What a brilliant idea.

As teenagers, we were all pretty awkward. The braces, the neon tutus, the dodgy haircuts... not the mention the backcombing. All the backcombing. Yes, we were all slightly weird in our teenage years... even the big time celebs were. On Stephen Colbert's The Late Show, he and Nick Kroll agreed to donate money to help aid efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico every time a celeb shared a photo from their teenage years. Under the hashtag, #PuberMe, celebs are sharing their awkward photos, and it's pretty brilliant:

Nick Kroll asked me to post a pic of my awkward stage, but I never had one. So here's me lookin' cool as hell! #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/UC9a7XtjZa
