How Embarrassing!

 Today was very humiliating. In health we were acting out skits for this program called S.T.O.P. (it was for the CBA). It's kind of like the "just say no!" thing. I partnered up with my friend Lily (BTW it's her birthday today) and guess what topic we got?
She was going to say, "Hey Emma, let's go let off a stink bomb!"
Happy birthday, Lily.
Anyway, when it came time for our skit, we walked up to the front of the room and we started our skit. But during the middle of the skit, we both forgot our lines and burst out laughing. Then once we got hold of ourselves again, we finished our skit. At the end, we planned to link arms and walk back to our desks. But instead (this was probably really funny to watch), we linked arms but I went one way and she went the other way and tripped over the trash can. Only one person clapped and I was too embarrassed to pay attention to who it was. I was so embarrassed.
And to add to that, Ms. Ross (my orchestra teacher) made me play a few measures of a song in front of the whole class because the cello section was apparently "out of tune". I don't like playing in front of everybody. It just makes me feel weird.
But the truth is, you just have to get over these things. People will eventually get over the many humiliating moments that they witnessed and stop making fun of you. If you don't let these things pass, they will boil inside of you for a long time and at some point you won't even want to be around your friends anymore because you're so afraid something humiliating might happen. And it's okay to playfully make fun of something that happened to one of your friends as long as you don't make them feel bad. I've been thinking about embarrassing moments lately and I thought, What's the point of making somebody feel bad about something humiliating that happened?
I mean, it's not like they were involved in the situation. What benefit will they get from teasing the person to make them feel bad? People were laughing and pointing at me for the rest of the class. It made it harder to get over the situation. But try your very hardest to ignore the jerks who are making fun of you and proceed with your day's destination. Don't let those people who think they are better than you get you down. If they think you are immature, the truth is, they are being the immature person.
Well, it felt good to rant about my embarrassing day.
