Yearbook

It's school picture day, and you've brushed and adjusted and ironed your tot into the picture of well-behaved, clean-faced childhood. But when the picture comes back it's not quite what you expected!

Between playground boo-boos and stray hairs, your lil one's photos have them looking every bit the mischief! But what if you could pay a few extra dollars to remove minor imperfections on your child's school picture? Schools in Australia are offering parents just that. For about $15, a company will airbrush a child's photo so they can look their very best — meaning no more acne for the older ones!

Everyone wants to look their best in photos, but critics say this service is another way society forces children to try and be perfect. What do you think? Would you buy an airbrushing service for your child's school picture?

Would You Want Your School to Photoshop Your Child's School Pic?

Yes — A school picture is forever!

No — It reinforces body image issues.

The glossy pages of yearbooks are in the air as the end of the school year nears, and I can smell the glue. And the regret. Whatever covertly clever words students submitted months ago will either make their legendary debut or suddenly seem mortifying.

Because high school administrators continue to demonstrate an unhealthy, and really rather embarrassing, interest in what kids write by saying things like "The students, the school, and this community deserve a better yearbook than what I have," it's only natural for kids to push it with elicit innuendos.

Did you write or do (even unsuspectingly) anything that made you want an eraser months later?

Do You Regret Anything You Wrote in Your Yearbook?

Yes, and I'll relive it in the comments.

Nope!
