30 Of The Most Embarrassing High School Memories, As Shared By Our Community There was a blood drive at my high school, I had just turned 18 three days previous, so I qualified to donate. I donated my pint, and then stupid, vain me said no to the cookies and juice they offer after and went on to class. I was in class for about 10 minutes, and I fainted. I woke up on the floor, my desk and books on top of me, and the whole class standing over me staring while the teacher yelled, "DON'T MOVE! I'M CALLING THE NURSE!!!!"

Eat the cookie, people.

Which brings up an interesting topic of how the human sense of smell (olfactory signals to the limbic system) is deeply connected to the anatomy of the brain and deep memory. Such recollections are both persistent and vivid. With me, I have vivid recollections from my childhood that get triggered by the smell of bleach because of the smell of chlorine from swimming pools back then.

Never understood why kids were so mean to each other for no reason at all. I can still remember way back in elementary when nobody would select an orange chair because that was the color chair this one poor kid always selected. Low and behold, this is the kind of stuff my husband always had to deal with at his school... just because he was the only poor kid in a wealthy school. By the time he was in high school, he had started beating up everyone who bullied him (or others), because that was the only way they ever ended up leaving him (and others) alone. He's quite successful in his life now, but it's messed up to think of how horrible people treat each other for things that are totally outside their control and don't actually even matter.

In college, one of my roommates offered to go to the cafeteria with me. We weren't really friends but I was still making connections, so I agreed and tried making small talk. So, she really ONLY meant to WALK to the cafeteria together, not eat together. I had awkwardly sat near her (and her huge group of friends). She sort of introduced them to me but they immediately went back to talking to each other and ignored me entirely. I think a piece of my soul withered away.

Then she just slapped my face in front of everyone and said nothing. The worst part was slowly walking towards my spot in the class with everyone looking and laughing...

30 Of The Most Embarrassing High School Memories, As Shared By Our Community I almost made it out of high school without major incidents, but then in the last year, on the day we were going on our final afternoon classtrip, I peed myself during class because I was too shy to ask to go to the bathroom. Not knowing what to do, I just sat there hoping no one noticed until the girl next to me yelled at the teacher that something smelled funny. Got sent home, couldn’t go on the class trip and to make things worse 15 y/o me thought I could save face the next day by telling everyone I’d had a "bladder infection". It’s even more embarrassing 20-odd years later to be the only one on this list so far who peed herself, my parents assured me at the time this kind of thing happened to everyone at least once during high school. :p

If it makes you feel better, I got my period unexpectedly on a field trip and wound up bleeding all over my jeans. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I was wearing a long sweater. But my crush forever thought I wasn’t interested in him after that because I was too embarrassed to sit with him on the bus on the way home because I was afraid he would figure it out.

This didn't happen too long ago, like right before the pandemic hit. I had a really evil teacher. She was pretty racist/homophobic, often "lost" my papers, and tried to get me suspended twice.
Anyways, this one time my period came a few days early (and heavy) so I asked her I could go to the bathroom. This was like ten minutes before class ended but she still said no. I discreetly told her what was going on and she pretty much told the whole class I was on my "womanly times". So I bled through my pants and on my chair. And then when class ended, she held back the whole class and had me leave first because I "wanted to go so badly". So my entire class saw the mess.
I was f*cking mortified. And nobody could do anything because she was retiring soon.
Oh, and the icing on the cake was that I was dating her daughter at the time. So yeah, that didn't work out.

One day in my seventh grade history class I was on my period and bled through my pants (ah, joys of womanhood). I took off my flannel shirt to tie around my waist and was wearing just a camisole. My history teacher came over and dress-coded me for having "spaghetti straps." I was forced to take off my flannel and put it back on. Thankfully we were just sitting at our desks and I managed to tie it back around my waist and slip out of the classroom at the end of the period, but damn! That was pretty embarrassing.

This shouldn't be embarrassing, the teacher should be embarrassed about their lack of empathy. We need to normalise talking about periods.

30 Of The Most Embarrassing High School Memories, As Shared By Our Community So when I was in 3rd grade, I was really sensitive and cried very easily when I got pis***. One day, my crush at the time was mean to me (aka being annoying which was "mean" at the time) and I started crying. When I cried, I CRIED. I could literally barely breathe (not joking). So the teacher asked me what was wrong, I told her and she made my crush apologize to me but I COULDN'T STOP CRYING. I couldn't even speak because I would just inhale and exhale really quickly and it couldn't be stopped. That was so embarrassing because my crush had almost liked me at some point. :(

Maybe not embarrassing, but this happened on Monday. At 4 AM we got a call that my uncle died. I didn´t know what to do and went to school. During lunch break I just sat there, trying to call my mum. Deputy headmaster walked past, called me a satanist for being sad and gloomy, and I told him to F himself (In Slovak, repeatedly). This was in front of other staff and students, albeit not many. And even after he cussed back at me, I threw back worse, because I did not give a f**k. My only uncle died hours ago and I had 0 shits to give. In the end, I got into no trouble at all. 16 years later I found that the man vanished after he was found to be a pedo.

Bathrooms were few and far between in my high school. My previous class let out late because of A-hole disruptive students. I ran to the girls' locker room because I needed to pee and was already gonna be late. Got my gym clothes on, rushed towards the bathroom stalls. Female gym teacher grabbed my arm and told me to get out, I was the last person and she needed to lock the doors. I said "please...need to pee bad...I will be quick!" She told me "No! Get out! You should have peed before class!" It was a 45-minute PE class and my bladder was already straining. She forced me to play tennis because I went to the male gym teachers to plead my case and she didn't like that. While I played tennis trying not to jostle around too much, I felt a painful and literal POP in my groin, and then I felt hot liquid run down my legs. I was 14 years old and peed myself in public simply because she locked the gym doors and the next nearest girls' bathroom was on the other side of the campus and I wouldn't have made it. If she hadn't physically stopped me there was security between me and it and with no note they would have returned me, or worse put me in on campus suspension...worst day of my life. I was lucky gym was my last class. I squelched all the way to my mom's car and broke down crying from embarrassment.

This is abuse. When I was in highschool, back when dinosaurs roamed the land, I experienced a sudden need to run for the bathroom (probably from the school lunch). My teacher said, "No." About 15 minutes later, I'm in excruciating pain. They had to carry me in a chair to my mother's car, who took me straight to the hospital. I'd had a bowel spasm from not being allowed to pooh when I needed to. My parents threatened to sue the school for the hospital bills and school policy regarding use of the bathrooms during class changed immediately. Not being allowed to relieve yourself when your body says you need to can lead to a world of different health issues.

Let me just preface this with two things:
One: Every year in the spring, my house would get infested with small black ants that no amount of Raid nor traps nor Zeus' almighty thunderbolts could get rid of -all- of them.
Two: I always brought a lunchbox rather than buy the school lunch.
See where this is going?

Well, one fine spring day, I bring my lunchbox as usual to school, whipping it out at lunchtime to eat. As soon as it is placed on the table and opened ever so slightly, Satan's black parade started swarming out of my lunchbox and all over the lunch table. Every ant that had magically disappeared after cleaning the counters must have found refuge in my bag that morning. Needless to say, my lunch had to be thrown out and the principal landed up giving me money to buy something from the school cafeteria.

Of course, this event could have ended there, but nope. After lunch ended and I had returned to class, the ants had decided that their performance was a hit and prepared oh so generously an encore. Out from my binder, reminiscent of the Olympic opening ceremony, came dozens of even more ants appearing in every direction and covering my desk. As this was going on, my best friend armed herself with her finest pencil and lowered the eraser side down on the ants as if playing a strange game of whack-a-mole, killing them all while I stood absolutely horrified for the second time that day.

Somehow, after all that, the day proceeded as normal with no ant to be seen in my locker nor bookbag. It was as if the ant vanquisher had succeeded in her noble duty, closing the curtain on the great ant saga.

Now, this has never happened in years before, and luckily had it happened for the remainder of the year. As for the rest of my time in high school, I decided to skip the lunch period altogether, picking up another class to take instead. Of course, this choice was not because of the ants....for the most part.

I have at least one for every year that still haunt me but this one pops into my head first every time. I was ‘going out’ with a boy on the football team, which pretty much just consisted of him coming to sit with me at lunch. He was very much a social butterfly, like I was, and would hang out with different people each day, which was totally cool with me as I did the same. However, he never included me and weeks would go by without us ever having lunch together. This annoyed me because he still claimed I was his girlfriend and I wasn’t allowed to eat lunch with any other guy friends without getting the third degree. One day I decided I was tired of it. The catalyst being that for once I only wanted to have lunch with my bestie and he suddenly decides to grace me with his presence. So I gave an impassioned speech about respect and boundaries, and that I refused to be ignored any longer and it was over. However, I forgot as I stood up at the end of my speech to make my dramatic exit, that the seat I was in at the cafeteria table was the one connected by a metal bar about ankle level. Said ankle got hooked on said bar and unceremoniously dumped me on the cafeteria floor as ruthlessly as I had just dumped him. At first I was relieved because it happened so quietly that no one else seemed to notice. But then my bestie started laughing. And she was known for having a laugh like deranged chimp and hyena in one. Immediately everyone turned to look. I quickly got up, brushed myself off, and with as much dignity as I could muster, said excuse me and left. The last time I spoke with him he mentioned that he couldn’t remember why or how we broke up. I just said I couldn’t either and left it at that.

In 7th grade science lab I tipped my chair back while kneeling on the seat, fell over it, and stood up with the chair stuck around my waist! This was the early 80s and the chairs were old wooden chairs leftover from I guess the 50s. Anyway I couldn’t get out and my teacher and classmates were pushing on it and pulling pulling me and laughing. The really embarrassing part was when the teacher called the office on the intercom to send a custodian to the science room with a hammer. A minute later a school wide public address went out “BZZZZT WOULD A JANITOR PLEASE GO TO MRS RICHARDSONS ROOM WITH A HAMMER, THERES SOMEONE… STUCK IN A CHAIR BZZZZT POP”

Not high school, but middle (my hs is not ready:( ) I once went running and couldn't stop and went running through a large puddle which had to have algae at the bottom. I slipped and was drenched. I went to the nurse and got new clothes and had to explain why I was late. Super nice social studies teacher understood. Thanks Mr.Bowen!

I was going to say "All of them", but... by far, Day One. Someone and her friends shoved me into a corner and threatened to beat me up b/c of what my older sister did to her older brother when they were dating. I stammered out, "I know she's a b*tch, I live with her!" and that made it around the whole school in about ten seconds. I had to live with what my sister was, did, etc., for four frigging years. From Day One.

never use b***h as an insult. i'm not gonna rant about how it's derogatory towards women actually for the same reason you shouldn't use it as an insult: it was originally used to describe a female dog. female dogs are strong, cute, and charismatic. i get called a b***h a lot because the most popular girl in my school is jealous of me because my boyfriend chose me. i used to cry about it, but i just reminded myself that she was calling me strong, cute, and charismatic. remember that, girls.

Our high school had an old fashioned mullioned window phone booth inside the school building. (Weird, I know.) One day I was in an urgent hurry to make a call between classes and the guy who was already on the phone was taking forever. Patience stretched thin, I tapped on one of the glass panes. I must have hit a fault in the glass (I swear I didn't tap that hard) because the whole pane of glass smashed spectacularly and noisily as if I had punched it out. All eyes on me.

I'm a freshman, sister is a senior. We shared 1st period (band) & 3rd (gym), & 4th (lunch). On freshman day, she and others had a bowl of different perfumes on top of the instrument room. I walk in & am drenched. I smelled smelled awful! In gym the teacher made me sit by an open door. Lunch was the worst. Stand on table & sing, get stuff for the srs. (I wasn't the only one being targeted.) All my teachers made me sit in the back next to an open window. No one would come near me all day. And they wouldn't let me call my mom for clean clothes. I was practically hysterical by the time I got home. I'm pretty easy going and like jokes, but that was horrible and I got teased all year. Luckily we moved that summer and the rest of HS was pretty good

When I was in grade 9 we did a "12 hour dance-a-thon" on a Friday night to raise money to save the local hospital. On a "dance break" I was squatting down looking at my crush's school picture (everyone's picture was posted on the very thick and very solid glass doors leading into the AV room.) Just as I was squatting down, some older kids came BURSTING out of the AV room and hit me in the head with those heavy doors. A bunch of seniors RAN over to me, created a "safety circle" around me, started yelling for help (I wasn't even bleeding.) I was laid down on the floor while a student made a "neck brace" out of a sweatshirt and I was carried by a group of seniors to the cafeteria, laid on a cafeteria table and had people coming to check on me every 10 minutes like I was in palliative care or something. The WHOLE school heard about it by Monday.

Once I was talking to the class, it was some sort of bonding activity before summer where we said things we remembered from the past school year. I was talking about a group project I did with some of the other kids in the circle, and tried to say that I admired how well the other two had worked under tough circumstances. Except I got tongue tied, and actually said, 'circumcises.' And this was in a room full of fourteen and fifteen-year-olds, so you can probably guess what the general reaction was. At least it was almost summer vacation, so I had a few months to live it down before seeing any of them again...

I just moved to a new town, started a new school, and started dating one of the popular freshman. At my old school, I was quiet and relentlessly picked on for most of my schooling, but I decided this time would be different and would be a fresh start and I started fitting in with the preps.

So I was dating this popular guy on the football team and we liked each other a lot. We never really saw each other at school, but usually hung out afterwards. Well, after a few weeks, the huge, popular group found out and had to meet me. I was on the other side of the quad with a couple friends and all of a sudden there was a mass migration never seen before or since. It was crazy and we were all trying to figure out what was happening and then the started coming straight for me!

Before I knew it, I was completely surrounded by these popular, beautiful people and they all started yelling at me, making fun of me, pushing me, throwing trash at me, and grabbing at my clothes. I was just trying to get away and finally one girl in their group stood in front of me and started protecting me, screaming at them to leave me alone and thankfully, they finally did.

I was humiliated, but I think I took it well. I totally changed and became popular in my own way with everyone but them. The guy ghosted me and we never spoke again. He sent a casual friend invite on FB, which I declined.

My paragraph read "There are hundreds of thousands of organisms in the natural world..." When I came to the word 'organisms', I read it in my head as 'orgasms' and thought, oh c**p, I'd better not say that out loud, but when my turn came, that's exactly what I blurted ot - that there are 'hundreds of thousands of orgasms'.

More a university memory about high school: I attended one of those small specialized high schools that drew students from around the state (as in science/mathematics). Relatively small graduating class, and they officially didn't keep class rankings (no valedictorian/salutatorian, no "top ten percent"). But the university I attended absolutely insisted they have my class rank to admit me - it got to the point that was the only thing holding up my admittance.

So the high school told them I was ranked 93rd. Out of 92 graduating.

I moved from public school to private school my senior year and the culture shock was difficult. They once announced a “half out of uniform” day and I couldn’t get clarification from anyone on whether that meant I could wear jeans with my school shirt, or my school pants with a t-shirt. Needless to say, I chose incorrectly and had to make an illegal phone call to my mom to bring me the rest of my uniform. My phone was confiscated and I was screamed at in the hall way before class started. I went to sit in the office where the principal found me and asked if I was there to talk about my cell phone. I explained that I was waiting for my mom to bring me my uniform as I was unaware on what “half out of uniform” meant. Later in the year another one of these events happened and the principal made a point to explain over the intercom what the perimeters were for such a day. I shook my fist and said aloud “I know, now!” Another kid said, “You know he can’t hear you.” Everything about that year was mortifying.

Two facts about me relevant to this story:

1) I hate wearing skirts/dresses
2) I'm clumsy a.f.

So, sophomore year: Mom politely asks me to wear something nice because she's going to pick me up after school and we're going to some family inclusive shindig for her work. I silently grumbled, but agreed because it wasn't like she was asking me to scoop out an eyeball or anything. So I put on the cutest of the three dresses I owned, slipped into a pair of flats, and off to school I went.

To make a long story short: I ended up tripping over absolutely nothing while going up to the 2nd floor, falling flat on my face before sliding down a few steps, skirt up around my waist. The first person who asked if I was alright was the guy I'd had a crush on since 5th grade. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I ended up with a skinned knee, bruised elbows, and the inability to make eye contact with my crush.

It was almost a decade before I wore a dress again.

7th grade (f), I was showing off around a group of cute guys as we all went outside for “study hall.” I attracted the attention of every one of those guys, and in fact all the girls couldn’t keep their eyes off me either. Sadly, it was because, in my zeals at running, I slipped on the pavement, then continued sliding down the hill. Luckily, a trailer used for overflow classes stopped my momentum, but in that process, my head struck the outside air vent. I’ve been pretty lucky as a rule, so you can imagine my delight at the latest of the gifts the universe gives me- one rogue air vent that was bent out at a “v” angle. The universe arranged for my forehead and that lonely “v” to connect, causing a bloody gash. Yep, I’m a gal who knows how to get attention.

Second grade, horrifyingly shy along with being terrified of my teacher. Sat at my desk and peed myself. She grabbed me by my arm and walked me to the bathroom. Made me take my panties off and rinse in toilet and wash with paper towels. Then made me clean up my mess at my desk. Never wore underwear to her class again. Oh and then she made me stand in the hall for what seemed like an eternity.

My High School crush came up with this game where, if he saw me in the hall but I didn't see him, he would tackle me from behind and wrestle me to the floor. It was torture having him pinning me down and panting in my face while I tried not to let my attraction become... physically evident. Years later, after I had moved away, he told me that he'd had a crush on me, too, but he was confused at the time because of his religious upbringing.

I think it was grade 3. I was sitting at my desk and suddenly felt nauseous. I put my hand up to go to the bathroom. My teacher ignored me. Back then, to really get noticed by the teacher, as in you know the correct answer, but the teacher isn’t picking you, you would start throwing your arm up repeatedly like you were serving at Wimbledon. I started doing that.. She ignored me. Then, while out serving Roger Federer, I put my other hand over my mouth, trying both to not be sick and let her know that’s why I needed to go to the bathroom. She looked right at me. And kept looking right at me. Said nothing. By now the other kids are noticing and they get it why I need to leave. Well, as she was staring at me, I looked right back and proceeded to throw up all over my desk and onto the floor. The other kids did not laugh at me. They thought it was the best “revenge barf” ever. So did I.

First day of gym class in middle school: I wandered into the boys' locker room by mistake. Fortunately, they hadn't started changing yet. Same year: we did a unit on soccer and the first time I went to kick the ball I landed flat on my back. Sneakers don't work well on slick, wet grass apparently.

I fell off the school bus in 9th grade. I was the first stop so the bus was packed full. Two days a week I got off at my grandma's on the corner of the highway intersection. I had a uniform skirt on and was holding my saxophone and was suffering from vertigo at the time and would just lose my balance and fall down regularly. I was about to go down the steps, took the step too soon and surprised myself, then somersaults down the steps and out the door. MY backpack was chock full of books and catapulted me and my saxophone case went flying across the pavement. There was a line of traffic behind the bus. My sisters were hurriedly rushing away out of embarrassment and I hear shouts from the bus "SHE JUST FELL DOWN!!" "WHO???" THE GIRL IN THE BLUE!!!! Plus I had a uniform skirt on and it flew up around my waist. I looked up to faces just plastered to the windows and the bus driver shaking his head and closing the door.

Senior year, we had this closing year assembly w/ some motivational speaker. He did icebreakers where he'd pick someone to stand up and asked them a random trivia question. For some reason, when I stood up, he asked first for my name (he didn't ask anyone else their name) so I immediately blanked because I was expecting trivia. My best friend was right there and started going "Um, ____, your name is _____!" In front of my senior class...before graduation with honors....

I was in the third grade, and decided to enter the school talent show. I decided I was going to dance to Herbie Hancock's Rockit (Beverly Hills Cop theme song). I had never taken any dance classes, and could never decide on how I wanted to choreograph my moves. So I got up in front of the whole school, wearing A leotard, tights, and leg warmers, and just winged it. While I was a bit embarrassed at the time, looking back mortifies me!

I was a new driver and not real skilled yet at reversing. I can’t remember if I didn’t have a car yet or if it was broke down, but anyway I drove my mom’s minivan to my crush’s house to hang out. They had a narrow driveway with a steep ditch on each side and yep-when I tried to back out I drove 1 rear tire off the cement and was therefore stuck! Bad enough was going to knock on the door and ask for help; worse was when my crush’s dad came to the door (and out to help) in nothing but his boxers. 😂

7th grade - my crush was pretty mean and I didn't realize until it was too late. At lunch she sat at a table with allll the popular girls. One of them came over were I was sitting and said she wanted to see my at her table. I was eating pizza at the time, and was almost done, so I shoved the rest in my mouth thinking "I can chew on this and get it down before I get there." Except girl that came to get me speed walked back as fast as she could and I thought it'd be rude not to keep up with her. So I got to the head of the table with 20+ popular, pretty girls there, with my mouth still full of pizza, and I just stood there not talking because I was still chewing. Everyone just burst into laughter while I stood there, ashamed. I ran off back to my seat. I've been married 6 years and I still think about this s**t. F**k you, Winona.

One of my best buddies and myself were together in the handicapped (like 3x+ the size of a normal stall, with its own sink, plenty of room - for those non-US folks) stall of the boys' bathroom (can't remember why, but probably to smoke weed) and heard somebody come in. We peeked through the partition and saw it was the biggest jerk/bully and hardcore homophobe, so we decided to jokingly shake the stall and make sounds like we were having hot sex (neither of us are/were gay, we just wanted to freak him out). We heard him run out of the room, and had a good laugh. The next day we both got called to the school psychologist's office... And had to explain what was going on... We would have been around 17, and this happened at a very expensive private school around 2000 (to give you an idea of the zeitgeist).

My most embarrassing school moment was when I was 9. I’m very much an introvert, I hate being the centre of attention and my dad had died a few weeks earlier. I was the only one in the school with a dead parent (it was a small school in a small village) so I was already getting a lot of attention from that. On this particular day I was in class and I sneezed. When I sneeze my eyes water, I don’t know why, so it looked like I was crying. The teacher stopped in the middle of a sentence and asked me if I was okay. I had to explain that I was fine, I had simply sneezed. So embarrassing

In 1st grade gym class, there was a daily race between the boys and girls for who could change clothes and get ready fastest. Not only did I lose by a huge margin, I neglected to put on my shorts and ran all the way across the gym in my underwear...... cheering our victory.

Fifth grade, I went to my first coed party. It was Halloween. One of the games was a competitive relay to put on all the costumes in the box as fast you can, do some task, and take them off again. Then the next person in your group does the same thing, etc. Well, I put on all the costumes, did the task, then in taking them off again, I accidentally pulled off my own trousers too. I wound up racing across the room in my undies.

When I was in school, I absolutely hated bullies. I was never bullied, but something about them just Pi$$ed me off. So it was my senior year in highschool and I was late getting to the locker room after PE. I walked to the back locker area and was about to change when I heard a ruckus one row over. As I walked around the corner, I found two sophomores picking on this little freshman. I walked up and forcefully demanded they leave my friend alone before I gave them an a$$ whooping. I had no idea who the freshman was, but he ended up thanking me every time he saw me in the hall.

Getting pantsed, undies too, in the gym in front of a thousand or so students by a guy who could have killed me with no effort whatsoever on his part. Good one, buddy…
