<p>Okay, so with the college decisions rolling in, M10 and all that stuff, I'd thought we could lighten up a bit! Maybe something to reflect in high school. The question is quite simple, and I'm sure it rings a bell to us all- What was the most embarrassing thing to have ever happened to you in high school? I don't mean to sound too amateur, I just want to put a few very much stressed spirits up :) </p>
<p>Well I should start first of course. Last year I was running in track and I was doing pretty darn good. I took the lead but then BOOM I fell and needless to say busted my bottom. Being the naive competitive spirit I was I got right up, clad in bright red cheeks (by things other than lack of air), and kept running. I ran to the finish line and heard a chorus of laughter. Everyone was pointing and my teammates were happy of the win but were looking at me critically whilst blushing. My friend took me to the locker room and on the broadcasting screen I saw it. As if falling was embarrassing enough.</p>
<p>There I was, running to my victory, gallant and triumphant.
With a nice long rip down my pants. </p>
<p>Oh the horrors.</p>
<p>Eh, I still won! Got new pants and had to restore my self esteem. What did I lose? :)) </p>
<p>Freshman year I wore a strapless too-short dress without any shorts underneath. I walked home from school with my dressed hitched up, and went ~2/5 of a mile before somebody stopped me and told me. I heard everyone (upperclassmen, mainly, because they drove and were out before the buses) talking about it the next day in school, hahaha. </p>
<p>On the plus side, I was wearing cute underwear that day.</p>
<p>In my IT class there are all kinds of situations to embarrass yourself if you do not know what you are doing. </p>
<p>We were building a lab at my high school and I was climbing a ladder to put in some cable in the ceiling, and I pushed up on one of those square acoustical ceiling tiles and it popped up and fell on me. I had white mineral fiber/pulp all over my clothes and it is NOT easy to get off. </p>
<p>This was during 4th period so I only had about 2 and a half hours left of school. It itched.</p>
<p>My freshman year we had moved to a new high school. All of the students were new to it and not everyone had gone to orientation so there were no senior pranks on underclassmen because we were all lost (at least in the first few weeks).
A senior girl walked up to me on the first day and asked me where the science department was and I said “fourth floor” and she left. And then at lunch I discovered we only had three floors.
She gave me dirty looks for the rest of the year. :(( </p>
<p>But I’m a senior now, so I’m still the one directing people (or at least annoying underclassmen) to the fourth floor.</p>
<p>I had a scheduled study hall my Junior year referred to as “AP Study” which is an unsupervised room for AP students to congregate and discuss material taught in their AP courses, work on projects, do homework, etc. - There were three computers for student use - I decided, as it was Friday and the last period of the day, that I’d watch some YouTube videos of Corgi puppies running down stairs. My principal was watching the video from behind me for a solid 5 minutes and I did not notice until he cleared his throat and scowled at me. I had to shut the computer off and be “productive.” </p>
<p>I’d just taken a physics quiz on energy and momentum and the test had to do with running across logs and jumping to the next one and finding the momentum and such of everything. It sounds easier than it was. But anyways, I knew I failed that quiz as soon as I finished. So it was the last class of the day so I went to my car with my friends and I was fuming about “that stupid log quiz in physics” and how logs were stupid examples to use in general and as we were driving off I looked out my window (which was open the whole time) and saw my physics teacher gaping at me because he heard everything I said about the quiz. So I ducked down in the car, still having a faint hope that he didn’t see me, but when I slowly lifted my head up he was still staring directly at me laughing so I knew he heard. </p>
<p>It was the first day of junior year, and I needed to find my homeroom. My school has walk-through homerooms on the first day of each semester to pick up schedules, and the homerooms change every year. I went to the poster of the alphabetical homerooms and read “A107.” Normally, I would have been able to find this perfectly. Room 7 in the art wing on the first floor. </p>
<p>After two failed attempts to find my homeroom, I asked a teacher in the english wing where A107 was. She told me, and I felt fairly sheepish. But it definitely didn’t help when she asked, “So are you a freshman?” “No,” I said with a blush. “A sophomore, then,” the teacher replied. “No…” I said again, my blush growing deeper. “Ok, then, just straight down the hallway past the offices, then.” I think she was worried I was a senior - she didn’t want to embarrass me anymore than I had already had been.</p>
<p>The other time was in AP Bio one day. That week I had decided that it was counterproductive to take notes because I couldn’t pay attention as well (and the powerpoints were available to students, anyway). That particular day I was so so tired and couldn’t pay attention, so I started doodling/dozing instead. My teacher, who has no qualms about saying anything, was like, “Back on the H, I see.” I was like, “What do you mean?!” and turned super red. He said, “Change in behavior is one of the signs of drug use. Maybe I should recommend you for drug testing.” Of course, he was totally joking, but now whenever I’m being lazy he’s like “Back on the H!” So embarrassing! :)</p>
<p>LOL! These are hilarious! One of the worst I’ve seen was during a school play (perfect setting for disaster actually) This senior was playing Rapunzel and was doing amazingly! The play seemed to have went on to a great start.</p>
<p>Right in the middle of it, her blonde wig fell when she peeked out the castle- revealing a short haired brunette, a very embarrassed one at that! Poor girl, she never did a production ever again. </p>
