Most of the childhood snaps I have are in hilarious positions.My mother takes great pleasures in showing them to all the relatives and even guests,and these guys,after seeing the pictures go on teasing me.It's soo embarrassing and humiliating..
Sometimes I feel to destroy all these pictures...

Sometimes I feel embarrass to let others see them because I look awkward in those photos. I was dark with no teeth and I had a bangs that resembles a coconut husk and my I feel that I was always out of fashion then. But apart from my appearance, I sure have lots of good memories of my childhood that I remember whenever I see my pictures.

I don't feel embarrassed with my childhood pictures because those pictures looked so cute and I had always a good shot.lol!I always felt a surge of relief every time I saw my childhood pictures because it reminds me of my wonderful childhood back in the province. In fact I loved my childhood pictures than now, maybe I am not cute anymore now.hahaha

I'm not embarrassed by my baby pictures I was cute. As for school pictures some were cute especially when I was in grammar school. There are some not so cute pictures when I was going thru puberty. LOL LOL LOL - I'm not embarrassed or humilated by them at all.

Yes same with me in most of the cases i hate to admire my childhood photos,an oily head,a dress with which never suits me,a person with whom i never even like to be with,so on , i sometimes even have tried to destroy some but my mother who adores all the photoes warn me.As a mother now i am very choosy to have photoes of my kids to be in the album since they should be pleased to see them grow from how they are as kids.

I have only one left pic of me of my younger years, and i like to look at my pic before than i am now. I like my hair before in my pic because it is straight...
It is not that embarrassing. It is only a pic and our remembrance of thinking and looking back in our memories in the past.
Sometimes it is funny, yes the clothes that we're wearing.

No, I don't feel embarassed, instead, everytime I see those pictures, or saw someone else looking at them, I had the urged to laugh, and I really do laugh at them! They're so funny, and they remind me of the moments when I don't really know what I'm doing, comparable to that of being so drunk that you don't know that you are actually acting like a complete idiot. So, well, needless to say, I also am reminded by these pictures not to get so drunk.
My mom's not the one showing them the pictures, coz they're now part of my private collections and I hold the authority over them. Oh well, I wish I do. Actually, my mom's still got them in her ancient photo albums, and I'm planning to, err, borrow them (without her consent, and without ever returning them. Some of those pictures are really too embarassing, I sympathize with you!).

Hello jimmy87 this is checkmail and me too gets embarrassed when the peoples start making fun of my childhood pictures, and start teasing me.Actually i love my childhood pictures, it were taken when i was too shy in nature an also too with childish moves.My childhood pictures looks pretty to me, but when somebody mokes at seeing it, i just use to takeover the charge of my pictures and hide them in my compartment.

how come you have such a feeling? got it, you are a man. as a girl, i donot think it is embarrassing . when your mother showed the pictures to others, that would bring the happy old days back to you. what valuable and interesting memories! i will treasure my childhood pictures, anyway.
