One Snapchat filter is too real for some teens

It me.

If you haven’t opened Snapchat in a while, the app has an ever-changing pack of face-morphing filters, which allow you to swap faces with others and transform into everything from a dog to someone with an abnormally large forehead. One such filter turns you into a stereotypical geeky teen, complete with glasses held together with tape and a set of braces.

Now, while it can be fun to return to your awkward adolescence, a huge core of Snapchat’s users are, well, teens. So naturally, a few of them will already look like what the filter is trying to emulate. 

Popular person of the internet Freddy Amazin tweeted a photo of an IRL nerdy braces teen earlier this week, which was retweeted over 9,000 times.

And while it’s hilarious to some, other teens with similar hardware shared side-by-side comparisons of their likeness to the filter.

Too real, Snapchat. Too real. 

Bonus: Can you find the bald eagle in this sea of patriotism?
