I was reading an old list in the section called "Lists" (good name, I guess) asking what was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you at school. Thought it would be fun to hear more stories. Thanks!

What can I do next?

OMG I still laugh when I think about this... I dropped my pencil on the floor and apparently had a lot of gas building up. When I leaned over sideways to get it off the floor I passed gas really loud and I still get red and flushed when I think about it. The whole class heard it and laughed. Then I got made fun of for the rest of the year.

Lets see...when I went to school...girls were not allowed to wear pants. So one day...as we were being lead in a line outside to the playground....my undies fell all the way to my ankles(probably wore them so many times the elastic was stretched). So I just pulled them up real fast...and grabbed them from the outside of my dress. I wish I was back in that time era again. So nice.

the almost-worst one was when the teacher, exasperated with all the interruptions, forbade us to ask to leave the classroom for ANY reason. i took it very literally and was too obedient to raise my hand and ask to go to the bathroom, and peed my pants.
but the worst was a couple of years later. i went to an all-girl school (thank the gods on this day!) with uniform skirts, and i must have been sitting with my legs kinda sprawly. a couple of the girls pulled me aside and told me they thought i'd started my period. i hadn't had one yet and was horribly, miserably mortified. but as it happened, i had a hole in my undies and what they saw had just been some 'foliage', which was, if anything, even more embarrassing.
so embarrassing i can't even believe i just wrote it down here!

I was 'attacked' by some frenemies and they ripped my pants off during cheer practice in the morning. I had to walk around all day with only one leg of my jeans, a few shreds from the other leg flapping around my ankle and an oversized coat wrapped around my waist. My other jean leg was nailed up in the boys locker room the rest of the year.

Another time, I was put in a trashcan and then rolled into the boys bathroom, where they dumped out my purse and locked me in there. These were done by some guys who apparently had a crush on me.

Or the time someone took a pic of my butt under water at a swim party and passed it around school.... ah, the days before texting.

I forgot to wear a bra and realized it while changing for P.E.!!
I was in Jr. High, so not real busty (yet), but should have had a bra on as we were doing aerobics that day!!

Also in Jr. High my volleyball team was sitting on the bleachers waiting for our team picture to be taken for the yearbook. I was in 7th grade and my sister and her friends (9th graders) were in the gym too waiting for their turn. The wrestling team (7th-9th) just happened to be waiting also. Anyway...just before the photographer snaps our photo my sister and her friends yell out "SMILE HOTPANTS" and the entire gym erupts with laughter! It was a nick-name I was given when we were sledding and my pants were laid over the fireplace to dry and I put them on too soon and I was dancing around b/c of my hot pants...so I was forever known by that wonderful nick-name :)

I was in third grade. My grandfather had sent me some clothes for my birthday/Christmas. My mother thought that it was a sweat suit and sent me to school in it. It was actually pajamas in a shade of see-through yellow, so I spent the day with the shirt (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) tied around my waste because my underwear was very visible. I'm glad that my mother had me wear a T-shirt underneath. A plain, white, unfeminine T-shirt.

when I was 12 years old in middle school, I was very anemic. I remember it was a really hot day and I was in P.E. class. We were supposed to run laps and I was on my period. I started to feel a little like I was going to faint (happened ALL the time), and so my friend helped me walk over to sit down. I was about to pass out and when you are about to faint you kind of loose control of your body. So, I ended up wetting my pants PLUS since I was on my period, it was red. I was wearing white socks with shorts that day and I still had 1 more class to go. I was too embaressed to go to the office and have my mom pick me up early, so I went to my last class and suffered through it. After that, I was put on iron pills and things were MUCH better after that

I was 19 and in college. When I was that age, I didn't know how to properly sort clothes when doing laundry. I lazily washed everything together. So, it was a cool fall day and I carried my freshly washed jacket into the library. I was meeting my study group there to study for a class. There we 10 of us seated at this table. When we were done, it was cold out, so I got up to put my jacket on. I put my arm through the sleeve of the jacket and out fell a pair of my pink underwear! I was soooo embarassed....and to this day cringe when I thing about it. Everyone at the table roared out laughing. Needless to say, from that day forward, I NEVER washed underwear with anything else but other underwear. I learned to properly sort my wash.

I learned my lesson the hard way.

I haven't read all the responses, but Candace M., I totally empathize with you. I was in junior high in the 80s, wearing white jeans (they really were popular at the time). Need I say more? And you know that junior high kids do not forget something like that. Thank goodness we moved the summer before I went to high school.

(Background) In 1984 I was an extremely naive young girl who attended an all girl school. Just to give you an idea of how little I knew ... I was convinced that "oral sex" meant receiving an obscene phone call! I was horrified to think anybody did that when I learnt what it really meant after my 18th birthday!! I had a science teacher who was an absolute dragon and hated anyone to be absent. Even if you had a doctor's note, she'd usually make some kind of nasty comment regarding the fact that you'd missed school.

(Most Embarassing Day): It was my first day back after a week home sick. Just before the end of the lesson Dragon Teacher glares at me and says:"And where were YOU last week, Miss XX? To which I replied "Sick in Bed" Dragon Teacher lifts one eyebrow and asks "With??" "By myself!!" is what I blurt out to which she responded with "Actually, Miss XX, I meant with what illness"!

Believe me I wished in that moment that the earth could open up and swallow me! My classmates didn't stop laughing until after they'd repeated this story to our next teacher and she told them to settle down - about 15 minutes later!!

OMG! When I was in the 9th grade on the first day of school...I was in home room and these boys asked me did I "give head". I had no idea what they were talking about so I said yes. I thought they were talking about doing hair or something. When they told me what it was, I said,"O no way." They went and told everyone in the school that I gave head! A boy followed me home from school and asked me to give him head. I told him to stop following me and that I dont do that. He was angry because I didnt. He went to school and told everyone that I did that to him. Boys would lie on me and say that I gave them head. I hated school! I went through this torcher for 2 years. Kids can be cruel but you have to roll with the punches.

In highschool I tripped while going down a main staircase. Totally hurt myself and had everyone looking at me. But the worst was not actually IN school but while I was in 8th grade. I was at the pool during summer break and had a really cute bikini on. It was one of my first bikini's and it was a strapless tube top style with ruffles. I actually had some small boobies to hold it up :) I was sitting on a pool chair with friends and a few boys. I think a mosquito bit me, and I itched my back near the clasp and sure enough the suit unclasped and flipped down into my lap IN FRONT OF THE BOYS. I quickly got it back on and just jumped in the pool to hide. I probably went home pretty quickly after that but I remember being mortified!

In catholic elementary school 2nd grade..I was so afraid of the nun librarian who was so mean, that I couldn't ask to go to the bathroom, and I peed my pants on the library floor. They called my older sister from class and made her clean it up! I was sent to the nurses office where they gave me dry underwear and white anklet socks, when our uniform was red knee high socks. So I was convinced everyone knew I had had an accident due to the white anklet socks that I had to wear the rest of the day.

1986 junior in high school got my period all over my skirt. My boyfriend was supposed to pick me up for lunch (he went to the rival high school) for an air guitar assembly at his school. I had to ditch the class before lunch, walk 2 miles home at break-neck speed just to change and walk back before he picked me up. I made it!

In 5th grade, my friend and I were doing each other's nails, and I got a big splash of hot pink nail polish on my pants. Every single boy in the class surrounded me and started taunting me for having gotten my first period.

On of the more traumatic memories of my life, actually.
