Tear Book (kid, parents freak over bad yearbook photo)
NY Post ^ | 6/17/05 | David Andreatta

June 17, 2005 -- A Queens couple claims their daughter's memories of elementary school have been marred by a "horrible" yearbook pho- to, and are demanding the school recall all 200 books and replace the picture. Michelle Maihepat, of South Ozone Park, said her 11-year-old daughter, Asheana, is so embarrassed by the "bad picture" that she has been crying and hiding her face in shame from her sixth-grade classmates at PS 121 since the yearbooks were distributed Monday. "For the rest of her life, she's going to have to be ashamed of that horrible picture," Maihepat said. "Twenty years down the line, she's going to look at this book with her friends, and her friends are going to say, 'What happened to you there?' "

Thanks to her whiny parents and their utter lack of perspective, her cafeteria social life-destroying picture is now on the front page of the NY Post. Maybe they should have left the lens cap on.

Or maybe....just maybe....the child will look back on her elementary school yearbook and laugh at her geekiness. That is what 99.9999% of the population does. Way to go in making her a perpetual victim, Mom!

I guess it didn't cross their tiny little minds that their behavior is confirming what their daughter thought about the picture.

re: running low on something...

Could be just money. Making a big victimization deal, could spell bucks from 'rags and movie/book rights

Every single one of my yearbook pictures was a source of embarressment for me, too. (Of course, maybe pictures don't lie...) But all I did was just hope not many people would notice them... lol.

I don't see what's so bad about the girl's photo, btw.

LMAO! Good going, mom! ALL of my yearbook pictures are crappy, with the exception of my senior year picture.

Oddly enough, none of those pictures ever made it to the front page of any major newspaper.

This girl is going to have a tough time at the DMV.

I say buy her a Hilary Duff movie and a bag of M&Ms and tell her to get over it.

Seems to me that name is traumatizing enough.

LOL, I wore a lime green leisure suit and patterned shirt for my 7th grade picture. OMG, I am scarred for life.

Man, I love the Post, but sometimes their choice for a front page story is just embarrassing.

This is the biggest who-gives-a-rats-ass? story of the year.

At least tomorrow it will be something important, like Tom Cruise sucking that cute little girl into his bizarro cult.

Recalling yearbooks with bad photos would eliminate all yearbooks.

Michael Moore is still recovering from the humiliation of his yearbook photo:

My freshman picture looks horrible. My husband's sophomore picture looks like he's stoned. Neither of us had our lives ruined over it.
