My class was singing in music, and I was getting really into it cause it was my fave song by Jessie J. I was so caught up that I didn’t realize that everyone else had stopped – and all that was left was me wailing my heart out! Mega-cringe!
Akalya, Acocks Green
I was running around the playground when I heard the school bell ring, so I charged over to line up. Suddenly I slipped on the wet ground and landed on my bum – in front of my entire class! Cringe or what?!
Erran, Cambridgeshire
I was playing the lead role in my school’s play, and we’d made it to the finale when I had to sing a last song. Everything was going fine, until suddenly I tripped over my microphone’s wire! I fell flat on my face in front of the entire audience – sooooo embarrassing!
Holly, Nairn
I was playing X Factor with my cousin one night. It was my turn to sing, but just as I opened my mouth, a fly flew in and I choked! My cousin could NOT stop laughing!
Leah, Ireland
I was swimming with my BFF when she said that she could lift me in the deep end, but then she let go of me. I can’t swim so I began to panic and started waving my arms about, and then I accidentally smacked a man across the face! Total cringe!
Emily, Swansea
My class was playing football in PE and I wasn’t paying attention. All of a sudden I heard somebody shout, “Move!” but it was too late – the ball hit me right in the face! The whole match had to be paused for the teacher to check that I was OK! Aargh!
Lauren, Bury
I was at a sleepover at my BFF’s house when in the middle of the night I started talking about people I don’t like…and one of them was at the sleepover! Awkward!
Alice, Chessington
I was at my local stables and I was talking to my friend who was riding her horse behind me. I wasn’t really looking where I was going and suddenly I fell into a massive puddle of mud. My new clothes were so dirty, and I had to squelch the whole way home! What a mess!
Jasmin, Portsmouth
I had a science exam one morning and was sooooo nervous that just as it started I suddenly farted really loudly! The whole class started to laugh and point – and they totally wouldn’t calm down, so I was given detention for distracting everyone! Embarrassing AND unfair!
Elisa, London
I was playing Truth or Dare with my BFF at lunch one day, and when it was my turn she dared me to go stand in the bin. I did, but then another of my friends threw his rice pudding and a carton of milk away, and they went all over me! Everyone was laughing, and I had to stay that way all day!
Mimi, LA
One day I was sitting in assembly next to my teacher. I hadn’t had a chance to eat breakfast that morning, and just when everyone was quiet for prayers my stomach started to rumble REALLY loudly! My teacher just stared at me, she looked sooooo unimpressed!
Kami, Scotland
In my school’s Christmas pantomime I was given the part of the back end of Dolly the cow, and everyone was teasing me because of it. The other half of the cow was played by a cool girl in the year above, and at one point we were supposed to do a dance. It was really difficult from inside the costume, and on opening night I tripped up and landed right on top of her! Everyone was laughing, and we even got a special cheer at the curtain call! SO embarrassing!
Jasmine, Yorkshire
I was at the park with my friends, and I hadn’t realized just out small my trousers were on me now. I bent over to pick up my bag and rrrriiippppp! They split the whole way down the back! Everyone in the park could see, and cause we were nowhere near home I had to walk for miles before I could change them – total cringe-mare!
Georgina, Chesterfield
I was Christmas shopping in town when I saw some girls from the year above at school. I wanted to act cool on my own, and I was walking backwards trying to catch their eye. Suddenly I slipped on a wet patch and fell over with a scream! Everyone turned and stared at me, including their group. Not exactly the way I wanted to get their attention!
Beth, Caithness
In class one day I was going to ask my teacher a question, but I accidentally called her “Mum!” It was really loud, so everyone heard and people still make jokes about it – cringe!
I was running late for school one day, so I got dressed really quickly while still half asleep and ran out of the house. At the bus stop everyone started laughing at me…I had no idea why until my friend pointed out that I’d put another pair of underwear on top of my tights instead of my skirt! SHAME!
I was at the cinema watching Breaking Dawn, and was quite tired so I opened my mouth to yawn – but instead a huge burp came out! It was so loud, everyone turned to stare and we almost got thrown out cause my friends wouldn’t stop laughing! Cringe or what?!
Liv, Sheffield
Once at the swimming pool I told my dad, “I’ll jump in if you catch me.” So I ran along the side and then did a massive leap! It was only when I came up from underwater that I realized I was in the middle of a group of girls in the year above me at school – I’d jumped too far and my dad was way further back! They started laughing at me until I swam away, TOTAL cringe-mare!
Abbie, Colinsburgh
I went to sit on a bench at school, but didn’t realize there was a leg missing. The bench fell backwards and I landed on the floor, and all my stuff went EVERYWHERE! I was quickly putting everything back in my bag, hoping no-one had noticed, when people started laughing… When I looked down I realized that my skirt had flipped up when I fell and everyone could see my pants! Argh!
Holly Lindsay, Port Glasgow
I was shopping with a group of friends when we saw a Santa’s grotto. It was the first one I’d seen this year, so I immediately ran over…but I didn’t realize my Uggs were all slippery on the bottom and I fell over! Even the elves were laughing, and none of my friends will let me forget it!
Zoe, London
I was on holiday with my family in Australia, and we were messing around in the sea with our surfboards. Suddenly my board slipped and I fell over in the water. When I got back up there was a massive clump of seaweed sticking out the bottom of my swimsuit, but nobody told me and I wandered around like that all day! Sooooo embarrassing!
Harriet, Yiewsley
I was playing with my ruler and bending it backwards in class one day, when all of a sudden there was a massive CRACK! I looked down and realized my ruler had snapped in half – and the whole class had heard and turned to stare. Even worse, we were drawing graphs that day, and I had to ask to borrow the teacher’s ruler! Oops!
