Everyone was a huge twat in high school. The people you hated were twats. The people you called your friends were twats. Hell, even you were a twat. Frankly, if I had to guess, I'd wager that you were one of the biggest twats of all, right? But hey, take a deep breath. It's okay. Even I was a twat if you can believe it.
Well, get ready because today we're going to take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the most memorable twats from your adolescence to make fun of their shortcomings. Moreover, we'll be guessing what sort of depressing activities they are now taking part in as adults. Who knows, maybe you'll even find yourself in here.

pregnant
The Pregnant Girl
Everyone had that one pregnant girl in their school. I mean, unless you went to an urban high school, in which case I'm assuming all the girls were preggers (note: everything I know about inner-city schools comes from Dangerous Minds). It was like, we get it sweetie, you're pregnant. Now stop rubbing our faces in it. Put on a baggy sweatshirt and eat a jar of peanut butter and stop complaining. Go have your life ruined somewhere else. You're killing everyone’s vibe.
What they are up to now: Blasting Coolio to drown out the deafening screams of the horrible child(ren) she doesn't love.

The Fat Lineman Who Thought He Was Hot Shit
The football coach recruited this two hundred and fifty pound pile of diabetes to serve as a stupid wall for the opposing team's uncoordinated running back to knock into accidentally. Yet, this fat, Dudley Dursley looking motherfucker would strut around the hallways of your school like he was fucking Broadway Joe with a hard on because he played for a football team with a losing record.

noface
The Girl With Big Boobs And No Face
Although this chick had an L.A. rack, she had a Mississippi smile. She was a swamp donkey from the neck up, but for some reason, she thought she was too good for you. Ms. No Face would turn her nose up at you and all the other guys and there was nothing you could do about it.
What They Are Up To Now: She's the wet nurse the wife doesn't have to worry about the husband sleeping with.
morningannouncements
The Kid Who Did The Morning Announcements
The guy that read the morning announcements over the intercom was a straight up cocksucker. You'd be in homeroom trying to catch a quick nap before classes start, dreaming about rubbing your nose in Ms. No Face's enormous tits when this jamoke would chime in with some shit about an ice cream social. MOTHERFUCKER, I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR SOME BITCH ASS ICE CREAM SOCIAL. I'M 15 YEARS OLD. I SMOKED A CIGARETTE ONCE. I DO MY OWN LAUNDRY. I HAVE A LEARNER'S PERMIT. GET OFF ME.
What They Are Up To Now: He runs a True Detective fan theory podcast that nobody listens to.
DMX
The White Kid Who Told People DMX Was His Dad
He wore a du-rag into school and made everyone feel super uncomfortable when he said the N-word, justifying its use with the phrase, "I’m allowed to say it. It's our word." He claimed that a young Earl Simmons was Ruff Ridin' his mom before he made it big and that X would visit every Christmas to give him presents like a terrifying Santa Claus.
Reenactment:
Kid: Aw, no way! Monopoly! Thanks DMX!
DMX: YOU THINK IT'S A GAME? YOU THINK IT'S A FUCKIN' GAME?!
Turns out, his dad was actually a Jewish guy named Larry. Go figure.

hoobastank
The Guy Who Thought Hoobastank Was The Future Of Music.
This guy spent high school "crawling in the dark, looking for the answer." Unfortunately, the answer was that "The Stank" was, as their name so conveniently implied, hot garbage and that he looked like a fool when he tried to woo the girl he had a crush on with a burned copy of their album. Hoobastank is a preposterous fucking name—red flag city—so this was all your own fault, bro.
What They Are Up To Now: Writing for Four Pins.

stoner
The Kid Who Smoked Weed Once And Took The Lifestyle Way Too Seriously
You'd pass him a bowl and he would say something like, "This is alright, but its nothing compared to that OG Purple Monkey Ballz I had the other day. Hail Jah Rastafari!" Yo, relax, dude. You started smoking on Tuesday.
What They Are Up To Now: Getting the all-seeing eye tattooed on his wrist.
The Wooderson
Although he technically graduated in the late '90s, this guy would somehow find his way into your high school circles. While always a reliable source to get you the booze that you asked for or the ecstasy that you didn't, The Wooderson was still a dick because he slept with all the honnies you had your eye on. That's right, this guy would get nasty with underage high school girls in the back of his Camaro while you jerked off alone in the boys bathroom. Creep Threat Level: Midnight.
What They Are Up To Now: He's the assistant coach of the girl’s basketball team. Alright, alright, alright.
