Special moments deserve to be captured authentically.<\/p>\n
The following story is about a teenage girl who was excited to have her prom photos<\/a> taken at a waterfall with her friend.<\/p>\n But instead of real pictures, her parents edited her photos using AI and created images that didn\u2019t even look like her.<\/p>\n Her disappointment grew when her reaction wasn\u2019t taken seriously by her family.<\/p>\n Do you think her feelings were valid? Let\u2019s take a closer look!<\/p>\n I (17F) had prom last night. We went to a local waterfall to get pictures.<\/p>\n I thought nothing of it because that is tradition. Your parents take cringy photos.<\/p>\n You giggle at them before you make a cute prom post.<\/p>\n Yeah, no, that did not happen. I have a singular photo that my grandma took of me.<\/p>\n This teenage girl wanted a raw, unedited photo of herself.<\/p>\n My mom (36F) said she was going to print some for her parents.<\/p>\n I was lowkey excited to have a few physical copies. I asked my dad to send me some.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cGothic or seaside?\u201d I said neither.<\/p>\n I said I wanted natural, unedited pictures. So I asked my mom.<\/p>\n But she received AI photos instead.<\/p>\n I received framed AI photos. The background is ruined.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u201d do not even look like me in half of them.<\/p>\n She said, \u201cYou have a problem with them?\u201d<\/p>\n I said, \u201cYeah, actually.\u201d I started legitimately crying.<\/p>\n This is so stupid.<\/p>\n They think she\u2019s overreacting.<\/p>\n Now, I have no good prom pictures.<\/p>\n I texted my grandma (her mom, 53). I got told to stop being a little jerk.<\/p>\n All I wanted was natural, cute pictures of my best friend and me.<\/p>\n Now I have none. Zip, zilch, zero. So, AITA?<\/p>\n Oh no, that\u2019s really frustrating!\u00a0 Prom photos are once-in-a-lifetime memories, not something to fake.<\/p>\n Aside from not getting the raw pictures she wanted, her feelings were completely brushed off, and she was even made the villain in the story.<\/p>\n Never Miss a Story<\/p>\n Sign up to get our BEST stories of the week straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n Now, I feel bad for her.
