So, I just got my first semester schedule for my new high school, and I was dismayed to find out that my first ever class as a freshman is GYM. I'll make such a good first impression on everyone, especially because I suck at sports, never mind how much I enjoy them.
Share some embarrassing experiences/traumatic moments you've had at school. It might make me feel a bit better. :<
High school was pretty much a horrible experience for me but I laugh when I look back at it. Deciding to take a lead role in the school musical which was Fame, epic fail on my part!
Congrats on your first year of HS! It'll go really fast, trust me.
I can't think of anything major.
Oh wait, I have a really funny embarrassing one!
I know when I was in like, elementary school or something, I had to be around 10 or 11 years old, I had a really bad tummy ache and I farted really loud during gym class during one of the stretches and I got laughed at for an hour. Gotta love sensitive stomachs. I remember shrieking and pointing at some boy "IT WASSSS HIMMMMMM! IT WAS HIMMMMMM!!!!!" xDDD
Before I changed it my name was Kiir, which rhymes with queer, so they had some fun with that.
For twelve years.
Also one time I was in assembly and we were standing singing a hymn when out of nowhere my legs gave way and I threw up a huge amount of breakfast. As I was rushed to the medical room I threw up two or three times on the way, leaving a nice trail for everyone to have to walk past as they were evacuated from the room I had contaminated with my hurling :grover:
On my first day of secondary school I found myself getting lost and walking into the wrong class, leading me to be marched to the right one (on the other side of the grounds), 15 minutes late to my first ever lesson. Good times.
I'd like to say it set the tone for the next five years, but on the whole I managed to remember to wear my trousers to school and suchlike during my time there.
I had a severe migraine one morning in middle school but my mom wouldn't let me stay home. However after a couple of classes I started feeling really dizzy and nauseous as well so between classes I walked up to art teacher (closest one) to ask if I could go call my mom. As I was walking up to her and starting to speak, I vomited all over the floor.
Later in middle school (8th grade), I just just recovered from a severe case of bronchitis and was at basketball practice. I started feeling unbalanced on my legs (like they couldn't support my weight), but drinking water relieved it so I just ignored it. Later on after a succession of sprints I started losing more control of my legs, to the point that I could not even stand up without my hand on the wall. I asked to take a break to get some water, but I couldn't even walk. Turns out I had developed sports' asthma (exercise-induced asthmatic symptoms) due to the bronchitis and was not getting enough oxygen for my body to function. While not really embarrassing, it was still somewhat uncomfortable for the entire practice to stop for the coach to half drag/half carry me to the side to sit down.
In my English class my freshman year of high school, we had to give some presentation on this book we read and I was so deathly shy to the point of having panic attacks. So the presentation begins and I start to sweat profusely, my hands start shaking and I slur my words.
It probably wouldn't have been so bad if no one had said anything, but some people pointed out my shaking hands and I could just see my teachers concerned face shaking in a way as to say "please, get it together" XD.
It was a sad moment in time.
I also have a bad nerves problem during class presentations, except my leg would shake rather than my hand and i stutter badly. But then again i didnt really care about english so i was ok with it.
I havent had too many embarassing moments in my first year of highschool besides leaving my fly open a few times.
Oh man, so many memories of freshman year *shudder*
Well I had Gym for my last class, and I hated sports, not because I didn't like them but because I sucked at them. One day we were playing volleyball, and my mind was elsewhere (probably thinking about how I hated Gym) and the ball sailed my way. I was shaken to reality by a fierce call from my partners "GET YOUR HEAD IN THE smurfING GAME!" was their rallying cry. I replied 'I got it.' raised my hands *cue slo-mo* gave a mighty swing annnnd....
Missed the ball entirely and got hit in the face. :shifty:
It was not a good day for me.
Hmmm, it's been a while since I had gym. Let's see...
When we had to do rings I once smacked a girl on the ass while my hands where full of that white powder in a powder fight. I thought she'd be angry, but instead I got a christmas card.
High school was nice.
I was a teenager in highschool. That was pretty embarrassing.
Except for the one wardrobe malfunction I had freshman year, my high-school years were pretty embarrassment-free. :)
I had a lot of classmates wet themselves in fear of doing presentations. It wasn't embarrassing on my part, but it sure was funny.
I can't think of any experiences I've had personally though. You'll be fine though :)
EDIT: Wait, I've got one. It was cold one day in year 3 so I wore tracksuit pants over my school shorts. They were black. And I wore the school jumper. It was blue. I clashed horribly and looked like a marshmallow.
Also I was routinely called a girl for having long hair. I mean, it was midway down my back. Those days sucked though :(
I admit freely that I was a dork/nerd in H.S.....Bit of a loner/wallflower by freshman and sophomore year......Only by senior year was did I have some semblance of an idea of my true personality...
I didn't even attend prom.
I faceplanted, knocked myself out and showed my ass to everyone in a game of volleyball once. It wasn't my fault. Some twat was pulling down people's shorts and she got me as I was about to move.
To be honest, I laughed my ass off over that. I was only out for about 10 seconds, but my ass was out for all of that.
