I did a list a while back of my favorite child performances but there have been a lot of bad child performances too. The following is a list of the worst performances by an actor under the age of 18 or actors playing characters that are supposed to be under the age of 18:

OMG, I thought I was the only one who hated Brandon De Wilde in Shane...I don't feel so bad about including him on the list now.

Dakota Fanning, The War of the Worlds
My general distaste for the actress didn't exactly help me to enjoy this really annoying and whiny performance that made me actually want to punch a little girl in the face.

Mason Gamble, Dennis the Menace
Loved Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson, but Mason Gamble just didn't convince as the little hellion created in Hank Ketchum's comic strip.

haha haven't thought about that film since i was 9 years old or something. Matthau was great as Mr.Wilson, if i'm honest Gamble didn't bother me that much though.

Anna Ferris, Scary Movie
The fact that she was way too old for the role was just the beginning of the problems with this movie.

Scary Movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. Pretty sure she is supposed to be bad and i don't think of it as a child performance since it is supposed to be making fun of people being way too old to play teenagers in movies, the characters actually make an incredibly unsubtle joke about it.

Cole and Dylan Sprouse, Big Daddy
I really liked Adam Sandler in this movie, but these twins were kind of annoying and they really seemed to have trouble speaking.

The Sprouse brothers are bad in everything. I remember reading that John Travoltas favourite Friends character was Ben which is really baffling to me.

Levi L. Knebel, Country
This story of a struggling farm family was solid for the most part, but Knebel's performance as the Ivy's oldest son was dull and unconvincing.

Yeah yeah, I know it's your list and you'll do whatever you please, but I'm entitled to do the same.
