Awkward School Moments

A recent thread here reminded me of a moment during high school that sort of had to do with the subject of said thread. My teacher began talking about racism and for some reason a discussion was started that led to students revealing that they had racist family members. One girl was talking about how her father is anti-semitic. Needless to say (I'm going to anyways), it was awkward. Any such moments in your school experience? It doesn't have to be tied to racism, but you can talk about your experiences with racism at school if you want. Those are usually pretty awkward and sometimes angering.  

Let me tell you about the time I touched a girl's shoulder by mistake.

I superglued this kid's backpack to the floor once. It was hilarious watching him trying to pick it up. When he found out he couldn't unzip it cause I had also put superglue in the zipper (quite a sudden stroke of genius, I might add), he started crying like a baby and babbling something about a test and a math book. Ah... the good old times. 

My 9th grade biology class sat two students to a table. My table was in the back corner with one of the biggest weirdos in the school.

" @Enigma777:  You feel......no remorse? Was he mean to you or were you just a horrible bully?  "

Well It was during freshman year of high school and it was during Gym, we were playing kickball outside and i was up to kick, obviously there were also a lot of girls watching us play so i wanted to make sure i kicked it as hard as I could, once the balled got rolled I put all my power into the kick and once the ball left my foot it flew out into the crowd of girls just talking and drilled one right in the face, she ended getting a bloody nose instantly and crying non-stop and pointing at me, soon people were saying i did on purpose i didn't know what to do so i kind of just slowly went back to Gym and sat for the rest of the period.

Once I came about two feet from walking into the girl's bathroom when I got to my new school. THAT got really bad.

Hmmm... I guess that's not really an awkward time, but that's the only thing I can remember at the moment.

i have a lot of them to say but i can't think of them. i was known as that nice, creepy kid at my school.

I had a moment where another student was openly speaking to the teacher in front of the class about how much weed they used to smoke.

I walked into a bathroom and some guy was using a urinal with his pants down to his ankles. I assume that he had a learning disability.

When your 235 pounds, 19 years old, and see incredibly young and beautiful females hanging out with a group of fit, skinny friends, everyday is awkward for you feel you are being watched and commented.

" I walked into a bathroom and some guy was using a urinal with his pants down to his ankles. I assume that he had a learning disability. "

" @Tru3_Blu3:  Yeah, I'm kinda self-conscious about my looks, but it doesn't really have to do with weight. Although I should start working out again.  "

Yeah, I brought in A Clockwork Orange to watch in my psych class senior year. That didn't go very well.

Would have been a perfect time for "I'm a wizard, and that looks fucked up." "

Last week I after a programming competition, my fellow teammates and I headed to a coffee shop to hang out and talk. After about an hour of talking, one of the heavier teammate's chair broke out from under him. Just like that scene in "Shallow Hal" (I feel bad for thinking of this immediately when it happened). I felt really bad for him. People were looking at him, and you know what they were thinking. We continued are talking from then on,  with him in a new chair, but you could just see it in his face.    

I played the song, "My City" by Common in front of my english class for some project. 

This one time I was lost in thought, and when I came out of it I realized I had been staring at this guy I didn't know. He was staring back.

I have a feeling this topic may hit a little close to home for some people.  More people need to share.

During my second year of A Levels everyone had to take a class called general studies where you debate about crap unrelated to the test.

Shoulda finished what you started and broken her arms too. "

" @amuria: is this her? Lisa is short for Elisabeth and she has the Marie and Peloquin in there.   "

I sincerely doubt it, I live in QC Canada and so does my teacher and she studied at mcgill university which is also over here. This lady lives in North Carolina.

 

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=524284284 I think this might actually be her, or at least it looks like her. I've been out of high school for 2 years now so my brain has kind of just tosses away this sort of usless info. Sorry    

Most social events were awkward for me, because I didn't know what the fuck I was supposed to do.

Went number 2 in the girl's bathroom. I didn't know it was the girl's bathroom, but when I entered and saw girls I just said "fuck, can't hold it in." And bust into a stall.

I convinced my AP English teacher to refer to me as "HBJ" for the entire semester, senior year. It stood for Hamburglar Jr. I also convinced her to let me call her "CPF" for ClownPenis.Fart.
Wait, is this about awkward school moments? Because that was an awesome school moment!

Awkward was when 3 different girls thought I was going to prom with them (even though I had clearly told 2 of them no before I asked the 3rd), and almost wound up with no date.

I also broke my middle finger bowling in Jr. High gym class, when the teacher asked me to demonstrate how to roll the ball (it was a hollow rubber ball with one hole that we used in the gymnasium with pins set up at the opposite end). I palmed the ball and rolled it on the ground, but my hand slammed into the ground as I did it.

@damswedon:

You've got guts. I respect you.

In the same vein, one of our teacher had launched a debate about homosexuality. It turned quickly that most of the student were homophobic moron. Then things got worse from there, when one of them made the statement that homosexuality was I quote : "unnatural, like the wedding of a jew and an arabs."

I could say a facepalmed myself when the teacher tried akwardly to defend gay when he stated that science proved that it was a disease...

There was that one time when my ugly English teacher got into a graphic ten minute long description of what her ideal man would be like. I don't remember much of it 'cause I managed to repress most of it after she got to the point about a shirtless fireman.

Oh I just remembered a great moment when my 5th grade science teacher was trying to disprove evolution to us. She was one of those super hardcore bible people (which is weird since she was teaching us science and stuff) and her basic argument was that god made the world perfect for us and that if the earth was even 1 degree closer to the sun all life would die. Being the handsome and witty smartypants that I am, I asked her if that simply wouldn't mean that life would have evolved differently to match the new environment at which point there was a long, awkward pause. She never picked me when my hand was raised after that... :(

I made an awesome fart in class, but the girl sitting behind me began to cry.

Well I'm not going to write about my awkward school moments. But I'm not going to stop reading this thread so I can laugh at you... errr I mean laugh with you of course. :)

One day our US History teacher started talking about homosexuals. One of the acquaintances I know who was in that class happened to be homophobic. He took a little stab at gay people by cracking a joke which chagrined one of the students in the class who happened to be gay. I think he called the homophobic guy something about being a degenerate ape and how he's living in the past (I think that's what he said), but then the homophobic guy jokingly said. "...Well my momma told me not to hit girls, so..."

Some peers laughed, some didn't, some probably don't care today, but this is just a nutshell over all the dramatic shit that happened at my high school, and it's awesome how friends and I run these stories past people we meet at our jobs and colleges and say "your high school is fucked up." Such a badge. haha
