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!

Load More Replies...... And the way to make it better is to publish a photo of him? That never will vanish from the net?
Quicker & easier than making it to the bathroom. If he’s still toilet trying or experiencing “growth spurt” bed wetting, he probably thought this was better than wetting the bed,
Load More Replies...There is a monster in the hallway on the way to the bathroom, which only comes out at night.
I remember my younger brother, when he was about 3, finding panty liners. He stuck them on the bottom of his feet like self-stick sandals.
Lmao I remember when my younger brother would shoot them out of the applicator for bombs
I would love to see his excitement while he opens the fishing rod and realises it grows with water :D
This my friends, is what heaven feels like! Watching your favorite shows, surrounded by a river of chips. Oh the joy!
My brother did this often when we were kids. He was being a pirate and my parents never said otherwise.
If I had boots like those, my son would probably want to wear them. He really loves Pirates of the Caribbean. 😁

Load More Replies...Either he saw Game of Thrones....or he's going to get very interested in 50 Shades later in life.
She's ahead of her time. Every grown woman knows you have to choose only the most important things when you are carrying a small clutch bag.
I am an adult and my bag looks silimar sometimes. You gotta have your snack game straight, right?
What am I doing you ask, you know just chillin as you do on an arm rest no big deal.
Being precise is never a bad thing....okay....sometimes it can be a little too much of a good thing.

Load More Replies...I had a pink feather duster.....it was pink and fluffy what more does a little girl want?
Well at least you know that she won't be attacked by crows in the middle of the night.
My daughter asked for and got a plastic duck you float in the lake, for Xmas one year.
I was going to say! Kids do weird things all the time, nobody is going to go "Why is she checking things? SHE DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN! WTF!"
Load More Replies...I remember doing that when I was younger. I used to put checks if someone was doing good'
I live near this fountain and can confirm that there are no coins in it and it contains chlorine like swimming pools so is reasonably clean.
He may look innocent, but he in fact does have his father's genes, HE IS WATCHING YOU ALL, work, work for your life!

I failed ... I laughed and too loud too! oh well :P
Load More Replies...OMG! THATS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN!! LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THAT!!! HAHA
When my mother was small (back in the early 70s) she sat behind my grandfather in the car and he empties his pipe out the window. The hot ashes landed on her car seat and they had to stop cuz she started screaming. Long story short: make sure back windows are closed.
Load More Replies...You shouldn't be gobbing bloody seed husks out of the window in the first place you dirty d**k.
The bananas didn't do anything to deserve it
Load More Replies...Why is this absolutely the funniest one this morning? Must suit my sense of vengeful humor!
Make him eat them all then! He shouldn't have done that and he's gonna have bananas for a while, I don't think he'll do it again
He had a birthday and was contemplating his whole life and achievements, he is ready for adulthood
s**t was going down hard at basketball... did someone tell them santa is not real or something :D
Is it just me or does it look like that boy's reflection is coming out of the mirror?
Tempted to cross-post this to the doppleganger list. :)
nah, a meadow with flowers, although somewhat colourless...
Load More Replies...My daughter put one of those on my thigh the other day because "momma had a Boo Boo and needed a band aid"
Reminds me of "Finding Dory" where she talked to the whale... :D
Oh my ... yes!! This whale shark was sooo adorable!!!
Load More Replies...when i was a child having a bath i used to talk to the drain hole...pretending i had a radio show because i thought my neighbors could hear me..i lived in block of flats.
I used to talk into daffodils. I though they were little microphones and if I whispered all my cares and woes into them, God would hear and fix everything
Eat lego toast, and you'll literally s**t bricks.
Load More Replies...Haha when I was 5 to 7 I used to make my mom breakfasts sometimes too, and was cutting bread myself :D She always remembers, how thich the slices were, but she didn't have the heart to criticize me and just ate them. Love Mom!
Our daughter did the same sort of thing. I would always eat what ever she brought. And thanked her for being so thoughtful. :-)
Load More Replies...Hahaha, "Guess What?" "It is what made you" hahaha lol jk would never tell this to a child
The dolphin's eye is begging for help, whilst he is holding his mouth firm shut
Yeah he did a get dressed only the parents have a different view at his clothing choice hihi
Load More Replies...Honestly, that looks like something I would have worn when I was that age... or now
Really, this is just karma for the companies that make and stock these things. Serves them right for rigging the crane.
Haha how did this happen! Lol the only thing I can think of is someone was refilling it , the kid climbed in and the person didn't notice when they closed it.
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
Alusair, I kind of get you and probably you are right, but if I found my child like this and first made sure it's ok, just traumatized a little, I would probably be that mom that takes the picture and laughs inappropriately, so... well. ;D
Load More Replies...She is crying ! Her face is red !!!! How do they have time to take a picture!!
She's probably red faced from gravity forcing blood into her head. Also don;t eliminate the possibility that it's a staged photo or immediately jump on the "oh you suck at parenting" bandwagon. Kids are a******s sometimes and it;s good to get evidence to prove to them later.
Load More Replies...Her face looks redish purplish looks like she's been like that for some time
This… This is amazing. Like… so good. Priceless. Golden. AMAZING!!! Show this to her future boyfriends…
I have three kids aged 1 ,2 and 5 and if im changing my youngest im def not locking the oter two up.kids are kids she prob got a chair climbed up and then down ,stuf like this happens .it doesnt make you a bad perent ,it makes youre kids normal .and seriously it takes 2 secounds to take a foto .i woud have
I'm 33 and I still do it. Even when there are people around, ^_^. If they start staring at me I tell them: "What? It's pretty soft, you should try."
Load More Replies...How could she be in the cabinet with her head like that? 😂
Load More Replies...Her face looks like she will kill you if you give her spot away. Hehe!
I always minded the mirrors, but I used to camouflage myself as a tree sometimes(outside of couse). I`m 10 times better now, for I stopped using the old tactics at hiding:)
That’s so rude that little girl was sleeping and you just made photos of her with bread on her eyes that’s just stupid that people do that just to get likes.😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬😤
Probably didn't have much say in the matter and left the box to close on the sink.
Load More Replies...Must be a good brand, i dump the whole bottle and I barely get any suds :(
Terrible mess....but i can easily picture my self doing that as a kid or even now..perhaps..maybe
I've seen this on Facebook a million times but it always says that this was written by a student and the student was ordered to write the apology note by a teacher.
His whole outfit is too cute. Lil jammies with his fuzzy boots! I can't take it
Load More Replies...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!
I could see this happening the way you described it and burst out laughing...woke everyone up! Especially remembering to lock himself in!!
Load More Replies...When my niece was 3, all spring we were not even allowed to talk about the Easter Bunny because Josie would flip out and panic. O.O Fortunately, it was just the bunny, not all of Easter, so she was cool with bible stories and dinner.
Oh well that's good then! She believes in the nonsensical, impossibls notion of Jesus rising from the dead after all those days, but a smiling, bouncy rabbit handing out chocolate is the devi ?!? Haha
Load More Replies...that one kid in the back, in the blue shirt, he's face is like "Weak!!! puh-leeeaseee"
"Lets take a picture of a scared as f**k child who just got a trauma from this thing, instead of comforting him"
Mate, like karate, it takes years of dedication and hard work to become a high ranking chav!
Load More Replies...Hi people. I know I'm late. STOP being gross. There's no need for breasts in this photo, so stop asking for them. Freaking perverts...
I have been protesting since i was little about how horible sleepovers are! XD 1.no one actualy sleeps! 2. You get draged into playing games you dont want to! 3. Your never in your own bed (even if the sleepover is in your house, beacuse you get blackmailed into giving up your amazing cossy bed, to sleep on the floor! XD
That will be entertainment for decades to come. - the neighbourhood will remember him as the "blue boy" when he visits as a 50 year old. hahahahah
Just got a rub a little toothpaste on it and will come off. Plus will be minty fresh afterwards!
First saw this photo several years ago titled, "Swine flu patient zero finally identified."
This takes the term "ask and you shall receive" to a whole new level
fair enough: h just needs to work to get access. I think:"Welcome to life, dear"
Did this once home alone after school with Ramen. Cooked that s**t the whole 3 mins. Burnt it to a crisp. Alarms never went off but my moms reaction when she got home was priceless.
I was 12 and it wasn't my pants I got stuck on the fence... I now have a scar.
Load More Replies...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.
My girls use to use the doggie door to get in and out of the 3 season porch we had. The things chldren do...
Well, that's a very nice pillow, I wouldn't let it behind either. ^_^
No, Young children naturally have gaps in their teeth like that.
Load More Replies...That's how they came up with tampons. They were used during the war to stop bleeding
Omg,she looks like my niece Trinity when she was younger,my sister in law would definitley do this😂
This is probably scripted, I mean who wears boxers??? Also, I am 13 (Female) and no one that I know wears underwear to the bath, plus the kid would have a different look on his face, it would be oh c**p! Busted! Not smile. Plus he would probably try to hide them and hide his face!
Um...Why was he left alone for that long to do that kind of damage?
I'd put fire on everything and leave. Just kidding (the part of putting fire)
I made the same face when I knew that I had to work everyday for the next 35 years... :'(
Did you also explain that she will learn information 90% of which she will never ever need?
My girls same way... Hardest thing in the world was to get them up in the morning
Wish I could start my school life again.. Working and being an adult is so boring
What amuses me more than her reaction is why one would pop a popcorn using a flat iron...
Waiting for something that yummy is very hard. I would cry too
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."
More likely " see? He was watching Pokemon, didn't want to come. It's called *ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY*. Take some notes, boy."
Load More Replies...Kid: I hate women, shopping, shopping, shopping, is that ALL they can think about?
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.
... if you keep painting the carpet then nobody notices that it was white. Life hack....ish. Just have to live with a purple carpet forever.
Azure (Double A), I am sorry you feel that way. Maybe if we had named them Fiona and Frank they could have had a #namewin like yourself.
Load More Replies...Should have seen this sort of thing coming when she named her kids Braylen and Bransten
You are right. With names so unique we were guaranteed to have many funny and memorable moments along the way.
Load More Replies...I seriously need someone to explain the art though. Is it that it's a white breast? What? Someone explain!
Lunch box!!!! Let me feel the milk package!! Just a kid being a kid, nothing shocking here.
I did way worse in kindergarden... my mom had thought to leave that mess on my head as it was (as my punishment for ruining it), I rocked it like no other though and she realised the punishment was more her suffering lol
My teacher felt so guilty she wanted to appoligise to my mom befor letting her see me but the teacher was so upset my mom thought for sure I was half dead. And then I walked in, happy as ever 😂 That theacher might still have nightmares, she felt so guilty the poor thing 😅
Load More Replies...I think we all did this at some point in our childhood. As a matter of fact, my little sister did this the other day. They looked awful, and we had to get them fixed XD
Granted it's obviously not how you wanted it used but it's Not wasted at all! You got a great pic and I bet he had a blast!
And the first thought that came to you was "Oh let's take a picture to have 15 minutes of fame on the internet" instead of "quick, let me pull the plug out"? Wow, that's some great parenting here...
haha, well can't blame the kid. My husband did that to the same exact plastic cup from IKEA
The kid probably put the bowl in the oven when it was off. And when someone turned in the oven it melted the bowl.
Load More Replies...I am guessing he "put away" the dish and then a grown-up pre-heated the oven without peeking inside. :p
Load More Replies...the blond and messy hair! he puts on a red shirt, black pants and gets a stuffed tiger, he becomes calvin and hobbes. name matches too.
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.
I've always liked and still like to go to Mass ^^
Load More Replies...What do you expect, they are kids and the mass is at midnight. Maybe don't force them to go next time..
brainwashing the kids early. at least right now they are doing their best to resist
Gosh, really... I am not a believer myself, but let people believe in what they believe and raise their children how they feel is the best, geez, it's none of your business... I am pretty sure letting your child watch tv all day, which a lot of parents do is a lot more brainwashing than attending a mass...
Load More Replies...He's a kid. It's not the end of the world OR HUMILIATING to pee your pants. It's expected. Get over it, Snowflakes.
Why would you embarrass your kid like this? I'm sure he didn't do that on purpose..
wtf is wrong with people to humiliate their kids like that in the fricking internet! o.O
yeah you got it . mine used to go down the street and poop in the drains, no I didnt own them
I used to HAVE to have socks put on my hands as a baby because I scratched the hell out of myself and my mom’s boobs… 😬
Most probably the reason why she is standing like this
Load More Replies...Doesn’t matter if you were first or not, and you also don’t need that excorsist. Just flip the child over. He’s awake. He just wanted to handstand.
Load More Replies...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
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.
Load More Replies...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.
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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
