The reason: to bring some light-heartedness and giggles to a day that many students find stressful saying,“I was hanging out with a group of my buddies when we brought up picture day and we wanted to change it up a bit and have a little fun with it."<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1PO8lB_0vlizWLM00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1PO8lB_0vlizWLM00" width="1639" height="2048" ><figcaption>Tricia Varney via Facebook</figcaption></figure>His glasses were taped together at the nose, his hair perfectly awkward, the neon green suspenders, and braces really added to the touch. The combination of his exaggerated outfit and goofy grin had everyone cracking up."We came up with things to wear and a few of us went shopping together for a few things. It made picture day a little more fun and none of us worried what we were wearing.” Brayden saidPicture days can be stressful for students in an age where everything is shared online, especially by proud parents.
