As teenagers we were often ashamed of our parents, they were too old, not cool, wear awful clothes, bulged or farted, were fat, there are were all kinds of issues. Is there anyone in your life that you but really are a bit ashamed of, please tell me why?

I hated when my dad farted and they were people over. I was ashamed of something i guess not having any money. I was ashamed of our house growing up. Most times we didn't have electric or running water. I was never ashamed of my parents while growing up what friends I had thought my parents were cool. Now days it is more like who is not ashamed of me because I weighed before diet 402 pounds, my husband is ashamed of me I lost friendships because they were ashamed to be seen with me. I have lost 16 pounds not alot but to me it is it put me under the 400 mark. I haven't been to town with my husband going on 12 years I think. I asked him why was he ashamed of me? and he said yes he was.. that should have made me want to go on a diet an lose it me then being only 350 pounds but all it did was depress me and make me gain more. Right now I am ashamed of the way I look. I shouldn't be because I'm me, whether i be fat or not...

Well its true most of teenagers feel ashamed but not me...not even when i was a teen ager..i think getting old is part of life we will be old one day too...so what will we be ashame of ourselves too...no..right..I think we are reflection of our parents we are what they made us..so making fun or being ashamed on them is like we are making fun of ourselves ..in my opinion we should be proud of our parents so we could be proud of ourselves too...we belongs to our parents and we are identified by them so one should never be ashamed of them...:)atleast i m never.

for all intents and purposes, i don't even want to think that i'm ashamed of someone i love. because that's what they are and i accept them as they are. the funky clothes, the age, the bulging fats - all of them that makes them what they are - i accept all of those. and will never be ashamed. ever. :)

When I was younger... I used to be ashamed of some of my family members or other things. Like the old truck my dad used to drive... When he'd pick me up from school in it and everyone else's parents used to have brand new cars. I felt so ashamed. It took me a lot of growing up to realize how ashamed of myself I should have been. It was ridiculous really. I can't believe now embarassed I got over stupid things... The way someone dressed, what they looked like, how much money they had, how they acted. What a foolish child I was. I would give everything I own today just to be able to have my dad pick me up in that beat up old truck again.
