Use it as a learning experience. If your embarrassment was due to forgetting something important like lines in a play, you can learn from it. For me, after that play fiasco, I made sure to practice really hard for any future performances so that I would never be in that situation again. And as time passes, the embarrassment becomes less of a big deal.
Just laugh it off. The more you think about it as a funny memory instead of a mortifying one, the easier it gets. For example, if you fell in the hallway like I did, you can think of it as a clumsy moment that everyone has from time to time.
Just accept that it was part of growing up. Everyone has those silly middle school experiences. Try to see the humor in it. For example, if you wrote a really bad love poem, laugh at how cheesy it was.
I once tripped and fell flat on my face in the middle of the school hallway during passing period. Everyone was looking at me, and my books went flying everywhere. It was so embarrassing that I just wanted to disappear into the floor.
Well, once in middle school, I was giving a presentation in front of the class. I was so nervous that I completely blanked out and started stuttering really badly. I couldn't even remember my own name for a second. It was mortifying as everyone was just staring at me.
One common one is getting called on in class when you don't know the answer. You just sit there, stuttering and trying to come up with something, while the whole class watches. Another is having your pants split or something similar happen during physical education. It's so embarrassing to have everyone see that.
My embarrassing middle school story involves a school play. I was supposed to say a really important line at the end of the scene. But I got distracted by someone coughing in the audience. So when my turn came, I said the wrong line completely. It made the whole scene seem really odd. The director was not happy and I felt so ashamed. I had to practice that part over and over again after that.
In middle school, I had a huge crush on a boy. One day, I thought I saw him across the hall and I ran over to say hi. But it turned out it wasn't him at all. I was so embarrassed when I realized my mistake. The poor guy I ran up to looked really confused. I just quickly walked away, feeling my face burn with shame.
One common element is public humiliation. Like tripping in front of a lot of people or messing up in a public performance. Another is related to crushes. Doing something silly in front of the person you like can be really embarrassing.
They can try to laugh it off. If they show that they don't take it too seriously, others are more likely to forget about it quickly. For example, if you trip and fall, just get up and make a joke about it.
One embarrassing story could be when a student stood up to answer a question in class but got the answer completely wrong and the whole class laughed. Another is when someone tripped and fell in the middle of the school hallway during a rush hour. And there's also the time a student accidentally called the teacher 'Mom' in front of everyone.
Once in middle school, I was giving a presentation. I got so nervous that I completely forgot my lines. I just stood there, blushing like crazy, until the teacher finally took pity on me and told me to sit down. It was so embarrassing.
