Forgotten '90s Heartthrobs

The '90s were a decade of slap bracelets, sipping on SURGE and collecting all Beanie Babies. If you weren’t dressed in the latest Skidz and Zubaz or emotionally expressing yourself through the grunge look then you weren’t slammin’.

The '90s was also a decade full of teen heartache. Teen girls awaited a new month’s issue of Tiger Beat for them to hang up the centerfold hottie. With walls plastered in magazine posters, teen girls shared all their secrets to '90s heartthrobs. Unfortunately, for most of them, their prime was left in the past. These heartaches are a mere image of a guy we once poured our hearts out to. Most of these cuties that we once dreamed about living the rest of our lives with have slipped our memory.


Matthew Lawrence

Lawrence began to be a cutie in a young girl’s life with his role in Brotherly Love. He truly developed into a hottie in his role as Jack in "Boy Meets World." Lawrence sent teen girls in awe with his bad boy appearance and underlying need to have someone take care of him.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Best known for his heartthrob role in "Home Improvement" as Randy Taylor. As the middle child he had both brains and Tim Allen’s witty attitude. Smart and funny- what more does a girl look for?! Thomas also starred in "I’ll Be Home For Christmas," warming every girl's heart for the season.

John Stamos

He began his career on "General Hospital" where he instantly became a teen heartache in the role of Blackie Perish, a boy from the streets. Preteens matured and so did their love for Stamos as he landed the role of Uncle Jesse in "Full House." The good looking older guy had teens dreaming of escaping on his motorcycle while wearing matching leather pants. "If you were a chick who’s the one guy you’d sleep with? ‘John Stamos!’ John Stamos!’” -- Step Brothers.


Christian Bale

The adventurous cutie starred in "Treasure Island" as Jim Hawkins. He continued stealing hearts in "Newsies" as Jack, the star New York newspaper boy. And he appeared in "Swing Kids" and "Little Women." Bale was the adventurous dream boy girls wished to runaway with.

Leonardo Dicaprio

If you weren’t making kissy faces at young Leo, then you had your head in too many books. Young Dicaprio began stealing hearts as Romeo in William Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet." If you weren’t head over heels in love with him by then, you were after his role of Jack in tragic love story of "Titanic."


Rider Strong

Best known for his role in "Boy Meets World" as Shawn Hunter, Strong was sweeping girls off their feet. Shawn Hunter had a bad boy yet sensitive charisma about him that drew in girls. And that black leather jacket made him just too much to handle.

Ben Affleck

Young Ben Affleck began stealing hearts as he held roles in "Hands of a Stranger," "The Second Voyage of the Mimi," and "Dazed and Confused." His big breakthrough in "Good Will Hunting" sent a heartache to teen girls. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon -- what greater heartthrob combination do you need?


Erik Von Detten

Detten was a classic '90s Disney Channel hottie. He starred in "Escape to Witch Mountain," "So Weird and Brink!" There was something about that blonde hair with too much product and gentle smile that made girls melt.

Will Friedle

He played the typical boy that lucked out in dating the president's daughter in "My Date with the President’s Daughter." Then he played Cory’s older brother Eric in "Boy Meets World." Friedle’s hotness only increased over the years as he became an adorable and funny guy every girl felt comfortable with. And come on, that hair!

Heath Ledger

The bad boy with the beautiful hair starred in "10 Things I Hate About You" as Patrick Verona. Girls longed to be wooed by Patrick like he chased after Kat and fall madly in love with the mysterious heartthrob.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
