DEAR ABBY: After a recent gathering for my granddaughter’s graduation, I am feeling depressed and upset. Unflattering pictures of me were taken during the event and later posted on social media. I wasn’t asked, and I think it was done maliciously by the grandmother on the other side. She posted no candid pictures of herself, only ones that were planned and staged.

I don’t feel I can ask that they be taken down without causing a rift. I did post a suggestion on the site about privacy and pictures. That grandma has read my message but hasn’t taken the hint to remove them. This has led to unpleasant memories of an otherwise memorable and happy event. Why don’t people realize that no-longer-young individuals don’t want terrible pictures splashed all over the internet? -- EMBARRASSED IN NORTH
