to wonder why teenage girls nowadays ...

[xylem8]

.. make a fish face when having their photo taken?

Can you imagine what the Summertime Ball was like at Wembley on Sunday?

Thousands upon thousands of duck faces!!!!! Seas of them!!!!

The correct response to a duckface photo on facebook is to comment 'Quack! Bang! Duck hunting!'

Oh YES, one of my younger relatives does this on FB. My finger is hovering over "delete friend" on most days...

Duck face teamed with head tilted severly to side, hand on hip. I think they are trying to emulate the favoured 'sleb' pose but most slebs aren't orange teenagers clad from top to toe in neon Primark.

wordfactory, that's called a snapback!

Lot's of duck faces on DD's FB. And other weird photoshopping

That thing they do where they hold the camera up, tilt the head and do the duckface is fantastic.

I can't talk though, I had a fringe that was a good foot high at one point in the early 90s.

I don't think selfies will die out until the likes of Rihanna and Kim Kardashian move on.

My nephew and his friends used to call those girls 'bebo stunners'. Apparently that's where the duckface selfies originated?

Of course most of them will convince themselves they're only being ironic If you're posting selfies every single day it's not ironic, it's an addiction!

I know a duck face and she's in her 30's....it's hilarious really. My DD is 15 and finds the whole thing hysterical, especially as the more 'duckier' the face the 'oranger' the girl ;)

There used to be something very similar called a MySpace Face.

This sums it up.

Not just teenagers, my friend's 11 year old does it too, and then posts the pics all over her FB profile for her friends to ooh and ahh over.

K K the queen of the duck face is she not in her mid 30s she needs to stop it now

YouTheCat - or as I saw someone else reply to a duckface photo "Would you mind if I throw bits of bread at you?"
Genius!

they all say things aww you is gawjuss BBBEZ I think this is why I have no teens (except my own) on facebook I did have a relatives kids but i deleted them it was driving me insane they are twins and they have duck face in stereo

For best effect, duck face should be accompanied by a status reading 'looking really wierd but oh well' and then 47 likes and 68 comments saying
ur too prettyyyyyyy
i'm not babes but thanks xxxx

I love that theoriginal obviously they have spent hours doing their make up and hair and then just happen to take a Random photie

SteamingNit, that is SO TRUE.

My duckface relative posted about 1000000000000 pictures of herself in her bikini (which she looked amazing in, btw ) saying "I rly wish mum wudnt take pix of me in my bikini lukin so fat" WTF?! She is about a size 4 and posting pictures on FB isn't compulsory, you donut.

SteamingNit You're so right!! Just this morning I checked twitter and a friend of mine had posted a selfie with the caption 'No make-up, ugh, but just checking in with everyone x' She was sitting in her car, hair perfect, and (I've seen her in the mornings) full make-up and neutral lids. She was only missing eyeshadow and liner. There were loads of 'You look gorgeous as always babe' replies.

I didn't reply anything. I knew she was looking for an ego boost and I wasn't in the mood!

Aw, with young teens it's quite sweet and funny, it makes me laugh.
Most of them will grow out of it and look back and think WTF was I thinking, as we all do when we look back on our teenage years.

no idea what your on about my poodle perm was gawjus

The teenagers nowadays will have so many pictures of themselves to look at when they are older. There are very few of me as a teenager.

Sparkling, don't feel badly about that. Cameras hadn't been invented when you were a teen but I bet you've got some lovely oil paintings of yourself somewhere, eh?

Marmalade.

did we have a pose ? I am in my 40s I am sure we must have had a pose there is a few of me with the bloody perm casually leaning on walls and benches ,

I don't think I did mrsjay. YY to various positions on benches IIRC.

My little group is early 20s and the closest we get to duck face is a full on gurn over snapchat
