there was a story a few days ago about a boy who was left out of his HS yearbook - his senior picture was missing, as was his name in the index. He was pictured in his sports team's picture and the Nat'l Honor Society picture, but everything else was just not there.
It was just a careless mistake, but I think that's a bigger deal than a bad 6th grade picture. It's true that people will look back and not see him, so it's like a part of him is "missing."
However, the kid just laughed about it and his mom had labels made with his senior picture and a list of his accomplishments (which were also left out) and they were passed out to the school to stick in their yearbooks.
I think they all had a great attitude about the situation and it was a smart way to handle it.
