121 Embarrassing Kid Photos That’ll Make You Glad You Grew Up Before Social Media Was Invented
We were all children once, but some of us were lucky enough to be born before social media was invented. We could make a mess, cry our eyes out, pee our pants, and throw as many public tantrums as we wanted without having to worry that somebody would take a picture of it and immediately upload it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. No such luck for today's kids!
Check out this hilarious list of kid fails compiled by Bored Panda to see what we mean. Don't forget to vote for your favorite!

My brother did this often when we were kids. He was being a pirate and my parents never said otherwise.

I laughed, then I got confused.. then I laughed again... no more internet today

Poor dolphin. First imprisoned in a water park to be a slave to humans, then being assaulted (even though it is cute from this little guy because he obviously didn't mean any harm).

I'll tell you how it's possible - she was sitting on the table, wanted to get down by slipping down and she got hooked on the knoob. Be happy she didnt hit the floor with her head! And stop taking pictures in such situations poeple - kids need attention not you taking a damn photo for snapchat

Please forgive me for laughing so hard! My eldest child answered the door on Halloween, when he was 2, in one GIANT fluid motion he screamed , cleared the couch and locked himself in a bedroom!

One time, at a place similar to Chuck e Cheeses' (can't recall the name) I won the 500 ticket jackpot on a spin machine....and I freaked out. I was 8.

What amuses me more than her reaction is why one would pop a popcorn using a flat iron...

We need a picture of mom in makeup for comparison. Maybe she nailed it. :-)

Lolz. That grandma's face. She's looking at the person taking the photo like, "Really? Don't take pictures of me."

I was the opposite as a kid. I used to get skimpy amounts of TP every time I needed to get it for someone. I soon learned just to bring the whole roll and return it once they're done.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The primary function of mass to a child is psychological torture, mainly through boredom, starvation and exhaustion.

This is why posting children on social media should be limited. Once photos are shared they can never be erased and just linger on the internet
Daria B 8 years ago
True, but almost all of these are not embarrassing at all, at the opposite, some of them are wins, or just very sweet. I think they should change the title of the article.

Some of the pics - as funny as they are - are actually a bit disturbing if you think that there is a generation of parents, now, that FIRST photograph their kids in awkward/painful positions, then snapchat it and only THEN help them. I wonder what kind of adults and what kind of parents these kids are going to be.
Stille20 8 years ago
Yea, I mean the kid covered in flour is fine but the kid hanging from the drawer, not so much. Your first instinct should not be to take a photo.

I am honestly really worried about the kids growing up with all this s**t posted on social media, because I am almost certain that if I was in the same situation, I would be at least slightly suicidal by now. I don't want to be reminded of how s****y I could be as a child because children are awful. So yeah, this is a bit of a gamble: How well adjusted will YOUR child be after you've posted so much of their embarrassing childhood on Facebook. Place your bets! Who makes it to adulthood without taking medication!?

You would be suicidal...over embarrassing childhood photos? That's a bit extreme.

The United States needs to require licensing to become a parent. Seriously. If my child was licking an appliance, I would unplug it before photographing. My boy is more important than a fun photo.

XD I have one of me at like age 3 or 4 exactly like #40, but with a bag of marshmallows.

I think there are 100,000 people plus visitors in the USVI that you failed to mention.
