That being said, it only makes sense that so many young celebrities fall on hard times throughout their career.

From embarrassing arrests to wild partying, these celebs really make us thankful to have grown up away from the prying eyes of the public. Let's start scrolling and see which stars took embarrassing their family to a whole new level, shall we?
