Might overlap with TeensLoveShopping if the teens are shopping in order to follow trends, and can also overlap with ClosetGeek, AffectionHatingKid, and EmbarrassmentPlot. Compare ShrinkingViolet, NervousWreck, LovableCoward, DirtyCoward, ProneToTears, and TheEeyore for other ways in which characters might be sensitive. These characters also tend to do LamePunReaction's and might be mocked by a CarloadOfCoolKids.

* Violet Parr in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Her power of invisibility is (initially) linked to teenage insecurity and a sense of awkward embarrassment. Over the course of the two movies, she gradually loses the embarrassment but keeps the power.

* Greg Heffley, the twelve-year-old protagonist of ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'', is very easily-embarrassed. This leads to many amusing shenanigans about him being in awkward situations, and it makes him a little bossy because he believes that his conventional lifestyle is the only option.

* At just fourteen, Jeannemary and Isaac are younger than the rest of the cast of ''Literature/GideonTheNinth'', and are constantly embarrassed by everything from [[TeamDad Magnus]]'s lame jokes and stories, to anything each other says.

On the other hand, many Easily-Embarrassed Youngsters wouldn't hurt a fly. These types are often meant to [[ThisLoserIsYou be relatable to young audiences]] and are generally the ''victims'' of the aforementioned bullies. They will generally learn a [[AnAesop valuable lesson]] on [[BeYourself accepting yourself for who you are]], and/or about how [[TrendAesop following trends]] isn't worth it. They might also find out that [[NotSoDifferent the so-called "cool kids" are insecure too, and might not even like their "cool" apparent interests]]. Both types generally strive to be popular and/or hang out with the "cool kids". Both types may also act serious to appear mature, resulting in WackyParentSeriousChild if one or both their parents are wacky.

** Riley herself has a moment at the end when, at a hockey match she's playing in, she cringes in mortification when her parents turn up wearing facepaint, hockey jerseys and cheering raucously for her. A quick jump inside ''her'' mind reveals Disgust frantically controlling her emotional response and insisting to the others that, while she agrees with them that it's actually pretty cool her parents did this, "we can't let them ''know'' it!"

* Camilla Cream of ''Literature/ABadCaseOfStripes'' is very easily-embarrassed and doesn't want to admit she likes [[StockYuck lima beans]], which [[SpaceWhaleEpisode leads to her changing shape and colour whenever something is suggested]].
