Ah, high school - a time of discovery, friendships, and unforgettable experiences that stay with us forever. Every memory, from heartwarming to cringe-worthy, shapes who we are today.

In my sophomore year, I had an obsession with stuffed animals. And there was this one boy, who thought it wasn’t very masculine of me, so he decided to pick on me. I was okay with this since he just teased me and called me girly. But one day I thought it would show him if I went to school in a dress with pigtails. He was absent. The principal called me into the office because he thought I might have had a mental disability. 🙃

What's wrong with a guy liking stuffed animals? the only reason he would tease you is if he was questioning his sexuality.

Just because someone is a bully over this does not mean they are questioning their sexuality. Saying so is an insult to all that struggle with this.

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.

I had a condition in high school that if I whacked my knee or elbow just right, I'd black out. So imagine going to turn your final exam in for your driver's ed class and whacking your knee on the desk as you sit back down in your chair. Cue haziness. I tried putting my head down on the table...maybe people will think I'm just taking a nap. Woke up on the floor on my back, drivers ed teacher kneeling over me..hands over my ears saying "Can you hear me?!?" Yeah..barely....

I had the cookie and juice when I donated in high school too and STILL had to lie down with an ice pack resting on my chest until the dizziness cleared. The worst I ever saw was in college one girl donated and passed out. Unfortunately, we were in the gym and she fell face first into the bleachers. She woke up immediately and started screaming, "I broke my face!" I think it was her first time...

Reminds of of my mom. She's SUPER tiny and I was working out, lifting weights and so she asked me to help her. Her goal was to get to 105 lbs so she could donate blood. Took 6 months and she finally got there! She was SO EXCITED! Went to donate, the stuck in the needle and she fainted! Now she can't even sit in the chair without getting woozy!

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.

Here goes..prom, junior year. We went to eat at a place I had never been. Went back to my dates house with everyone before the dance. Then..oh no..tummy rumblings. This isn't going to be quiet and everyone is in the room next to the bathroom. So I went outside...to the alley..and yes, you see where this is going. Somehow I thought that would be better then people hearing me fart. Left my gift in the alley between two trash cans and used my own panties to wipe. No one knew a thing. Success. Nast nasty success.

I have ADD and in HS my grades were irregular. If I was interested in the subject, great, if I wasn't, then not so much. Once I aced a test on a great subject. Teacher asked me if I cheated. I was so shocked I started to cry. Teacher was "Sorry! I'm so sorry"! I think he was as embarrassed as I was.

I have a close, old friend who got accused of cheating in college because she aced a test. But she didn't. She was just that kind of student who studied very hard and was a 4.0+ kind of person. Teacher thought she somehow got ahold of the answer sheet. She managed to prove it on a retest / interview but got a lot of flack / hassle / threats of suspension before they figured out she was telling the truth. "They" was mainly the one teacher. A couple of her other teachers are part of what helped convince him. It was traumatic for her because in addition to high grades she was a very straight shooter, very innocent kind of person.

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.

I had a crush on this girl when I was idk 11 or 12yo. So I gathered all my courage, walked over the entire class to the other side of the room where she was, and asked "I like you a lot. Will you be my girlfriend?". 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...

I was 10, in 5th grade, and had an absolute crush on a girl named Janice, blond with a pony tail (I remember this 63 years later!). By chance, there was an equal number of boys and girls, and the teacher decided that for Sadie Hawkins day (google it), each girl would bring lunch for a boy; name drawn out of a hat. Janice drew my name! And she brought me 2 sandwiches! I ate them both, complimenting her profusely. Turned out, one was supposed to be hers.!

This is one of the most important lessons that school can teach you: if you're not already super-popular, or born pretty/handsome, keep your feelings, thoughts, and opinions about anything and everything to yourself, never reveal anything to anyone. The world belongs to pretty people, and the best you can hope for is to avoid becoming a target.

I felt really weird during a school assembly, and when the room went quiet I burst out laughing (I don't know why!) and was unable to stop. Multiple times the teachers called me out in front of the whole school, but I was laughing too much to answer. Eventually one of them dragged me outside, and started telling me off, but I just laughed harder. I guess I ran out of air because next thing I know, I'm on the floor with a bunch of teachers staring over me!

There is a condition called pseudobulbar affect that can do that. It's usually associated with neurological problems like MS, ALS, strokes, etc. It can also cause uncontrollable crying for no legitimate reason. But if it just happened once, it likely wasn't that.

I have a friend who laughs when nervous. MANY years ago when they were about 12 there was a vandal incident involving her and a couple of other kids. She was a witness but she didn't actually do it. The cop had it in for her because she kept laughing when he was trying to talk to her. Cop expressed displeasure to her mom about how "THAT ONE has no respect / remorse for what they did... etc" Mom had to explain to him that laughing like that is what she does when she is really nervous. EDIT: She is in her 40s now and still kind of that way but a bit more controlled.

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.

I was on an outdoor ed kayaking trip and bled through my tampon (because I couldn't just jump out to the toilet in the middle of the sea) onto my thermals, which were loaned from the school. It didn't go right through but was stained on the inside. I would have just taken them home to watch, but the teacher insisted they be handed back at the end of the lesson, because she would wash them all. All I could hope was that she didn't know who borrowed which pair!

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.

So something very similar happened to me in hs. I had asked my male teacher to go to the bathroom and he refused to let me go. I had just started my period and was hoping not to leak thru my pants. My teacher didn't know I had my period but it shouldn't have mattered, I asked to go again,he refused so I walked out and went anyway. When I returned he sent me to the office and I explained what had happened. Now this teacher was a dìck but also had tenure and was coming up on retirement. A meeting was set up between myself, the teacher, principal and my Dad and let's just say the teacher looked like he was on the verge of tears by the time my Dad got done with him. Funny how the teacher ended up retiring early at the end of that school year. I like to think I saved other females from his power tripping ways...lol

My sports teacher didn't like me, don't know why, although I did play the fool occasionally. Local school trials to represent the town came around and he sent eight of our side. Not me, even though I was one of our best players (not bragging, I just was). The organising coach from another school was so annoyed he sent out an official invite to join the squad on County headed paper. Oh and I went on to play football/soccer at professional level, getting an invite to chat to some of the kids about playing professional sport......much to the teachers disgust.😂

Not high school but middle school. 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. If it had been me I would have said loudly "Sorry I came on unexpectedly and tied my jumper around my waist because I know some people can't deal with normal bodily functions but since you're cool with it fine!"

Now I would say this! But as a girl in middle school i would have been afraid of people making fun of me. I always wore extra long shirts to avoid this. I agree though we need to normalize periods but i think this needs to start with parents teaching their children. My mother was very anxious when i got my first period, and very insistent that i keep all wrappers/any blood securely wrapped in toilet paper so as to not offend her boyfriend because it's gross; also don't talk to your little sister about it because she's to young to know these things...🤦♀️

Totally ruined my WHITE uniform that we had to wear, and mum had to buy me new uniform.

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. :(

HOW? I've never seen a bathroom that locked from the outside unless it was the style with a deadbolt that was key operated from either side. Meaning you would need the key to lock it at all. But if poster 'forgot to lock' then it implies a k**b / lock mechanism on the inside. IDG why could not unlock it with the same mechanism. TDLR: Public spaces are rarely set up where people can get locked inside with out a key.

For those saying shouldn't the person IN the toilet cubicle control the locks so how could the other person lock them in.....perhaps the OP meant the entire bathroom block door not the individual cubicle. At my HS the block not only had a main door to all the cubicles that got locked outside of "allowed toilet break times" during school but there were padlocked gates outside of that as well that were also locked outside of school operating hours. Apparently we had valuable toilets :P

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.

Ya, my most embarrassing moment isn't actually farting during gymnastics but falling because I stepped on a little pebble and my foot twisted (I wasn't hurt), this was right after school when Everyone was outside getting on busses. I was a misfit which made it so much worse.

I was in 8th grade as was he... I had never had feelings for anyone before and approached him as cautiously as I could but was still utterly humiliated by him and never again professed my feelings for another guy throught high school. My parents had issues as well, so I ended up not having my first real boyfriend until college, I ran into that guy again, apparently he remembered me... I did not recognize him at all. He was with some friends and I completely shut him down in front of them. Karma? Maybe.... but dang it felt kinda good.

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.

I went through school in the late '80s to the mid '90s. Mom always told me that if I had to go and the teacher said no, just get up and leave. Go to the ladies room. She would handle the aftermath. This was due to my sister having problems in elementary school from holding it all day.

I am shocked at the number of “embarrassing moments” in this list that are literally a teacher being abusive and a bully to a student. For the love of Mike, how do these people get teaching positions when they clearly hate children? Find another line of work, like stocking shelves at Walmart, which is more in line with the personality of these teachers. And don’t parents EVER go after these monsters??

I hear so many of these stories, and have had these experiences myself. I have always told my son, if you have to go to the bathroom and you feel its an emergency, if the teacher tells you no, go anyways. I will deal with them. Holding it in when you have to go can lead to many health issues and it's ridiculous that teachers do this.

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.

There was a special dance where seniors would be auctioned off and would be the date for the dance. Sounds kinda messed up now but it was a fundraiser. I have no clue what provoked me to join, but i did. The auctioneer kept trying to get someone to bid for me. No one. He eventually pawned me off to a grade 9er who didn't want me at all and shook his head. So in front of the whole school i was rejected.

About 20 seconds later one of them taps me on the shoulder to let me know my underwear (not a thong) was hanging out. 😳 always check that they're tucked in now.

I sent a valentine to a guy I liked, but didn't put my name on it to avoid embarrassment, well my 'best friend' decided to announce to the whole class that it was me that sent it and he didn't like me that way. Cue merciless teasing for the rest of the week, until they found someone else to pick on. Needless to say, they were no longer my best friend and I just rode out the rest of high school like a loner, until people thought I was cool for doing my own thing and started to follow me around, the boy I had sent the valentine to, also thought I was cool then, but I had lost interest.

In high school, senior year, I was having coffee at the cafeteria with a really cute girl. Turned out we share hobbies. As we talk, I began waving my hands a lot (something I still do), and I accidentally dipped my finger in really hot coffee. I shook it off and sprayed both of us with coffee. She ran away. The whole cafeteria saw that, and all of them laughed. Next time we saw each other she pretended not to know me... Thanks God this was before smartphones...

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” The whole junior high wing showed up to watch the show from the hallway and clapped when they broke me out.

(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.

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.

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.

Dress rehearsal for our play, I “died” and everyone was standing in a circle above me, reciting the last lines of the play, a good two minutes. Curtain falls. I start to get up and realize my costume had popped open, exposing my chest (thankfully covered in a bra!) the entire time.

I feel ya. We were doing Dracula and there was a scene in which I, as Mina, had to struggle while someone held me (he was behind me, we were facing the audience). During one rehearsal, I finish my struggle, say my line, and I'm met with silence. I look down and notice my costume had popped open (I was a busty gal) and my bra was showing. Luckily, I was used to changing in front of people backstage, so I laughed it off, and the teacher complimented me on continuing to perform. The show must go on.

We used to have a whole school assembly at the end of each term where the whole school sat cross legged on the floor of the sports hall. When I was 13 I got an award at one of these assemblies but my foot had gone completely numb from sitting cross legged for ages so I went to stand up and fell over in front of the whole school. Tried again and the same thing happened. Fell over a total of 4 times before I was able to walk.

So. I'm still in high school, just a baby freshie (9th grade). So I had a long term sub in the middle of the year for Spanish. The sub, was a former coworker of my mom's. My mom still has the sub's number and the sub would tattle. It was so embarrassing for me to be personally called out in the middle of class. Then getting chewed out by my mom for not doing what I was supposed to be doing in that class. I hated it.

For me, it was the complete opposite. Instead of taking a test, the woman who was friends with my mom, responddd to my moms texts, telling her I was “working hard, and focused” . The relief I felt was even better than when your fart cures your stomache ache.

In science in Year 9 (when we were 14), we were learning about biology and organisms. We were each given a paragraph to read out loud from the text book, and a minute or so to read over it in our heads first. 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'. The class erupted in laughter and we didn't get any further into the lesson that day. Sorry, Mr Johns.

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 entered the school swimming competition. About 5 minutes before my race, I went back to the changing rooms to grab a nose clamp and use the toilet. As I came out the changing room, my race was due to start. I walked down to the end of the pool, got in and did the race. It was only when the race ended I realised I had a testicle handing out of my swimming trunks…I was 15

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.

Afterwords most embarrassing thing was that i developed anorexia from fasting, i ate only at morning, at weekend at home. Rest of day I drank juices. First I was two weeks not eating, liquid fast, then it just became natural being hungry and studying. Until I pass out at swimming hall, it was scary I could have hit my head to floor or pass out in pool. Somehow anorexia didn't went too far, to disease. In generally shameful people .... I don't know word in English but, myötähäpeä, be shame for another, compassionate shame(?). One was when my roommate start to pray when I was meditating. When I asked what she prays, she said that she is very disappointed to "everything". In two weeks came clear that me, atheist is pleased on christian commune, every room 3 room in one cmmune, everybody else were using antidepressants. Except me.

Not high school but middle school, it was the first day of 7th grade and we were taking pictures for our school ID. I had to jump across the creek with my brand new shoes but don’t worry it wasn’t rainy so it would’ve been fine…if I had actually jumped. The way that this…mud looked…made it look like gravel…but I thought wrong. Instead of stepping on solid gravel, I stepped in mud. In my new shoes. On the first day. And it went up to my ankles. I just wanted to go home.

It was the homecoming football game in my first year of high school. I already wasn't very good at making friends but I went because I was trying. Unfortunately for me, my mother decided to cook fish for dinner that night and it stunk up the house and got into my clothes. The whole night at the football game kids around me were saying "do you smell fish?" and I wasn't socially aware enough to do anything to alleviate the situation. Instead I just sat in silence so basically everyone knew it had to be me. Never really got over that. I'm still socially awkward...

I was a Jr. and we went to our local amusement park that includes a water park. Well I was finally comfortable with my body and wore my first 2 piece swimsuit to the waterpark. My then boyfriend loved scary rides and insisted I try the water slide that is the death drop, as you might have guessed, the bottom of my top ended up around my neck and everyone was screaming at me, "Don't stand up!". Thankfully a female lifeguard came up with a towel so I could correct my unfortunate situation. That swimsuit never made an appearance again!

There's a class that was offered at my school called Child Development, where you basically learned how to take care of kids from when they're a baby to a teenager. There's an extra credit project with these robot babies that cry every three hours where if you take it around school and home for two days, you get 50 points of extra credit. Long story short, the looks and comments I got from the other kids, half of whom thought it was real and gave me judging looks, the other half of whom thought I still liked dolls... And then the small percentage that kept on asking who the father was... Still get trolled about it to this day.

Not even that long ago that I was in gym and we were supposed to be playing this game and your supposed to run from the ball if your in the middle. It's kinda difficult to explain and needs to be seen. Anyway me and this one boy in my class were the last ones running, he fell and I fell right on top of him in a....interesting pose. I quickly got up obviously embarrassed and he comes up to me winking and asking if it was actually an accident. Yes it was. Very much so. He goes and stands with his friends and the ball comes toward me so I smack it and it hits his friend right in the face so yeah...that was fun.

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.

At my highschool, we had something called "Class Day," where the entire school would get together and celebrate the graduating class. The Juniors would work on a special skit for the Seniors and perform it in the school auditorium for everyone. The year I graduated, they decided to do something a little different, and decided to poke some fun at the other students and the faculty. I had a MAJOR Starbucks addiction at the time, and so one of the Juniors made a whole scene about me showing up late to class with an entire buffet of food from the place. 😅

Two occasions that will haunt me for the rest of my life. In middle school I was walking towards my friends to their lunch table and didn't see a pickle with ketchup on the floor and stepped on it and slipped in front of them. I'm pretty sure this is why I hate pickles. it happened again in middle school during lunch BUT this time it was a single nacho with cheese.

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.

So when I was 15 years old I told one of the workers he was handsome, in front of an old lady that works there too. The next day, I was sitting across from him, and that's where I saw him pointing to me talking to a customer. So, right after he speaks to others in a foreign language. I tried to tell myself it was not about me but, that same old lady looks directly at me and talks in that same language he spoke.

First I'm confused as to why you would post your comment that's asking for one's most embarrassing moment from high school? Also if your students have been taught the same subject matter repeatedly for years now& it's obvious that they're not comprehending or grasping it; wouldn't that be a reflective moment for you? Maybe the matter it's being taught isn't sufficient for all to learn from & if it hasn't worked now for years you say; then I'd say it's up to those teaching the subject to change the way they're teaching said information. This isn't an attack on you or your profession; I respect educators and am sympathetic to fact that you all do way more than that you're paid to do. Reading your comment and coming upon a solution seems quite simple from outside point of view and that's to simply change way information is taught and for realization that not all students learn in same manner. Try teaching non-traditional way they learn

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.

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.
