Silly me when I was 13ish, used a common nickname of mine for yahoo answers and I kind of asked embarassing questions. Realising that now they come up in google searches of my nickname, I kind of want them removed pronto. Help?

I don't think you can remove them unless there is some kind of pressing legal reason or if they contain personal information. This is the only link I could find that was of any use and I don't think you can report it haha https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663688.

Oh wait, apparently if you have the URL of each page you want removed from google you can go here https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals (must be signed into google account) and enter the URLs here to get them removed from search results. May not always be successful though haha.

Could you not contact Yahoo! ? They may just remove the pages and when Google next updates itself the should disappear. It may be easier to go to them.

I don't think Yahoo would consider removing them because of her reasoning :P There are many sites and blogs which have lists/screenshots of "embarrassing" questions from Yahoo Answers and Yahoo don't seem to ever take the original questions down.
