What's the most embarrassing high school moment you faced?

[Apulu_Imback]

I pretty much embarrassed myself many times infront of my crush.

[HighlyVolatile]

Have you seen those cliche movie scenes where a girl is running at a guy crushing on her and he gets all excited and smiles really big and goofy and opens up his arms slightly to hug her only for her to run past him and hug someone behind him?

That actually happened to me! That's so embarrassing. I was crushing on a girl who talked to me a lot and was really friendly but one time after school she was running my way with her arms open for a hug only to run past me and hug a girl behind me.

Also one time I was skating at the skate park on the vert ramp (I was the only one on the vert ramp; most people skated the street course or mini-ramps) and a bunch of pretty girls from school showed up to watch me while I was getting ready. So I grabbed the board and dropped in and tried to do a big air trick I was still working on (540 McTwist) only to land on my butt and fracture my tail bone.

So I was hopping around to play it cool while the girls asked if I was okay and I was like, "Yeah, no problem! It happens all the time." Then I tried to keep skating in front of them but I was in so much pain that I could barely do anything.

Then I went to the hospital later and discovered I had fractured my tail bone. So I had to show up to school the next day with a donut pillow I carried around everywhere since I couldn't sit down without it.

That cliche movie scene pretty much happens with all teenagers who are having with crush 😭 it also happened with me. Except my crush was waving and I waved back not knowing his friend is behind me. So to play it cool I just kept waving and went front but my crush's friend screamed, "Whom are you waving at? No one is infront of you!" like seriously I would have murdered him in the place if my crush wasn't there. He made me look dumb. And due to that my best friend knew about my crush! Ughhh it still feels frustrating to think about it.

Dangg I'm getting second hand embarrassment reading the skating part.

*who are having a crush

[HighlyVolatile]

Crushes in teenage years are a huge source of embarrassment as I see it! :-D Nowadays I look back on it and laugh. I tend to think embarrassment is something "taken" as though we inflict it on ourselves. I seem to be immune to most forms of embarrassment nowadays. I've just learned to laugh at myself.

I also had this one time when my mother's apartment was infested with cockroaches. We were a bit poor so she couldn't afford to call the exterminator. So one time I was in class and opened up my backpack to get out textbooks and a roach came out of my backpack and everyone saw it. Then I had to deal with all the teasing of being the "cockroach kid".

[Apulu_Imback]

Actually I'm okay with being embarrassed infront of strangers and all but getting embarrassed in front of close people like friends and cousins and crush, that's a big deal. You need to handle the teasings throughout your life.

[HighlyVolatile]

Oddly I think I'm reversed and tended to take more embarrassment from strangers than close friends and fam. I think it's because my close friends and fam understood me; I didn't feel a need to protect my reputation with them. :-D I was kind of concerned with reputation in my teenage years.

[Apulu_Imback]

I don't really react to any thing. But when people close to me know that I'm embarrassed by something then, it's the end of my reputation.

Probably working up the courage to ask out my crush. She acted like she didn’t hear me, so I asked her again, and again she ignored me. Then she just started talking to someone else.

It wasn’t like publicly embarrassing or anything. Just depressing. I had girlfriends before her, and after her, but the way she just ignored me hurt.

[Apulu_Imback]

That sucks. Either she didn't wanted to make you and her embarrassed by rejecting you or she really didn't bothered to hear.

[serious]

Most embarrassing?

Yes there were moment which were not good but I don't recall the most embarrassing moment.

[Apulu_Imback]

Oh okay

[MysticDevice]

I knocked over a stack of lunch trays once. And I tripped up the stairs 8 million times.
I fell down the stairs once as well.

[Apulu_Imback]

Well that's kind off embarrassing

[dem_hero]

I just say embarrassing things a lot, but other people have done some wild things

[Apulu_Imback]

I don't get it. Wild things?

[dem_hero]

Yeah super embarrassing things that I would die if I did. Some of them were out of their control though. Like freshman year a girl peed her pants during a presentation in front of class

[Apulu_Imback]

Oh my that's super embarrassing. If that happens to me then I don't think I will be in the condition to come to school.

[dem_hero]

Yeah exactly. I would not have either

[dem_hero]

What do you do that's embarrassing

[Apulu_Imback]

So my seat is the fully last bench with my best friend. Yeah I'm a back bencher. There is a door beside my chair which is locked as it is not needed but that door is a type of door which has glass. So me and my best friend are pretty much visible from the corridor. Once when everyone was out for games period me and my friend were bunking in school because they were making everyone run in the field and of course we were not in the mood to run in such a hot summer. So when games period was nearly over me and my friend came back to our class, our bench. Next class was Physics. We both hate our physics teacher. No one reached class yet. I have this habit to step hardly on floor when I'm angry and annoyed while pouting and puffing. So yeah I did that while my friend was sitting on her chair just looking at me blankly as if she is so done by me lol. In the same moment my crush passed by the door near my bench and guess what? He saw my cartoonic act. And he entered class while chuckling looking at me.

[Apulu_Imback]

There are MANY more

[dem_hero]

Oh lol I see. That is slightly embarrassing

[Apulu_Imback]

Well yeah, this is nothing. I made myself way more embarrassed than this.

[dem_hero]

Big oof

[Headstrongcrazylover]

I went to girls toilet when in school and was young because gents toilet was closed for cleaning. Hopefully everything was fine since no one was there and no one saw each other nude.

[Apulu_Imback]

This reminds me of the incident which happened in my class not long ago. So in the left side of my class is girl's washroom and on the other edge is the library. Library period was over so everyone was heading to class. Few boys literally pushed a boy in the girl's washroom. His face became so red. Till now everyone teases that boy who got pushed.

[Melis_Gencer]

I have peed myself during exam this year its my first year of high dchool too kill me 😭

[Apulu_Imback]

Yeah first year sucks a lot. It's the most embarrassing part according to my seniors.

[n4meAL]

[Apulu_Imback]

[n4meAL]

[Apulu_Imback]

For me I was bored out from homeschooling in this Lockdown. I really love coming to school.

[Cubus]

I didn't know you had a crush Apple :)

[Apulu_Imback]

Recently developed one. Actually it is the same crush I had on 6th grade. In Lockdown I thought I don't have any feelings for him but now after meeting him I realized I still crush on him after 3 years. Crazy, isn't it

[Cubus]

Very crazy, yeah.

I wish I had a crush ar your age.

[Apulu_Imback]

Don't worry! You will surely meet the one for you!

[Cubus]

Maybe, but I don't know. I hope so

[Apulu_Imback]

There is always one for someone who wants love :)

[Cubus]

Maybe you're right

When I wore short gym shorts

[Apulu_Imback]

Oh yes I remember that in grade 6 all the boys once hid the pants of a guy when it was swimming period. Poor him he was roaming around the school with his shorts not knowing his pant is in his locker lol.
