I believe the answer is:

reared

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raised by' is the definition.
'reared' can be an answer for 'raised' (rearing is a kind of raising). I'm unsure of the 'by' bit.

'are embarrassed about having' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'are' is 'rea' which is present in the answer.
'embarrassed' could be 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed) and 'red' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'being' is the link.
