Brooklyn Beckham is the latest person whose online vibe was killed by his parents—for the rest of the world (wide web) to see. First, his mom Victoria shared an Instagram photo of him totally passed out after Coachella weekend. A few days later, his dad David put him in his place while he was making a video thanking his 1M followers on Instagram. Poor guy.

Brooklyn is totally all of us who have had moments when we wished our parents would just please stay offline. We're not here to make you feel any worse than you already do, but we want to show you that we understand what you're going through and there's no other way to deal with it except to have a good laugh about it. We know parents can be really embarrassing online sometimes,  but remember that they're just looking out for you and are actually mighty proud of the person you've become. So don't give them a hard time about it. You can always untag yourself from their posts or better yet, teach them how social media works.

You understand that they find you cute in those stages of your life, but they should know that sharing that photo of you—snot and all—can do you more harm than good.

 2  Those moments when you're sure they don't know what TMI meant.

Okay, they probably really don't know what TMI means, but why do they have to post what you ate for breakfast? Or worse, that photo of your little brother without his pants off? Poor boy.

 3  When they reprimand you online.
