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.

South Ozone Park

Seems they are running low on something...

[So Cal Rocket]

Well... it can't be any worse than MY yearbook picture:

"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?' "


Her parents mated.

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!

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

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

Help is on the way:

Michael M. Bates: My Side of the Swamp

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.

Michelle Maihepat, of South Ozone Park, said her 11-year-old daughter, Asheana

Seems to me that name is traumatizing enough.

[SIDENET]

she has been crying and hiding her face in shame from her sixth-grade classmates

My recommendation.

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.

[windcliff]

Pass the tissue ping.

[HungarianGypsy]

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

[Old Grumpy]

Just when you think you've heard it all . . .

[Dallas59]

It could have been worse...



Sounds like another McDonald's law suit...

[TomB]

'Just damn' ping

[George Smiley]

It's gotta be about the money.

They still have retake days....

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

"Who knows, one day she might be famous or have a lot of money and someone could blackmail her with that picture," Maihepat said.

Oh sure, someone is going to be blackmailed over their 5th grade photo. The parents really had to dig deep to come up with that one!

[Dallas59]

In 25 years who's gonna care?

"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?' "

Oh, give me a break! Twenty years from now, that book will either be collecting dust in some bookcase, or she and her friends will all have a good laugh. If she matures enough to be able to laugh at herself in twenty years. Parents are wussies nowadays. Too afraid of wounding their children's precious self-esteem. My parents would have said "It's just a picture." Heck, I never had nice pictures, but who cares? Time rolls on, and that stuff just isn't important anymore.
