The first time you trip and fall in the school hallway in front of a lot of people can be really humiliating. Everyone sees it, and some might even laugh. You feel so embarrassed as you pick yourself up, hoping the ground would just swallow you up at that moment.
One common story is the first time getting called on by the teacher and not knowing the answer. You stand there feeling stupid while everyone stares at you. For example, in a math class, the teacher might ask you a question about a formula you haven't grasped yet, and you just have to stand there in silence.
One common type is public scolding by teachers, like when a student is reprimanded in front of the whole class for misbehaving. Another is bullying from classmates, such as being made fun of for physical appearance or being bad at sports. Also, being excluded from group activities on purpose can be a form of humiliation.
One common type is being publicly criticized by a teacher for getting a wrong answer. Teachers sometimes forget how sensitive students can be. Another is being bullied by classmates, like being called mean names. For example, a kid with glasses might be called 'four - eyes'. Also, failing in a sports event in front of the whole school can be really humiliating. You feel like everyone is looking at you and judging you for not being good enough at that sport.
One common type is academic mistakes. Like getting a very low grade on a test that is announced in class. Another is social embarrassment. For example, being rejected when asking someone to be your partner for a project in front of others. Also, physical clumsiness, such as falling down the stairs at school.
One story could be about a student who was wrongly accused of cheating in an exam at school. The teacher shamed the student in front of the whole class by making him stand in the corner with a sign that said 'Cheater'. But later it was found out that it was a mistake in the test paper's marking. This kind of false accusation led to great humiliation for the innocent student.
I think it's not as common as some other forms of humiliation, but it does happen. For example, in some sports teams, if a player has an accident on the field and has to be put in a diaper - like protection for the rest of the game, some teammates might make unkind remarks. However, society is becoming more aware of the harm of such humiliation, so hopefully it will become less common in the future.
They can be common. Take the example of social media. A girl might post a photo of herself, just being happy and expressing herself. But some trolls might leave mean comments about her weight or her looks. This is a very common form of girl humiliation in the digital age, and it can be really hard for the girl to deal with as those comments are out there for everyone to see.
No, not really. Such stories are rather specific and not that common in mainstream literature or general storytelling.
One common theme is public shaming. Like when someone is criticized or made fun of in front of a group of people. For example, in a workplace, if an employee makes a small mistake and the boss scolds them harshly in front of all the colleagues.
A common one is when a teacher is corrected by a student regarding facts. For example, in a history class, if the teacher gets a date wrong and a student with good knowledge of history corrects it. Another is when a teacher has a wardrobe malfunction like a button popping off during class and the students notice. Also, if a teacher is unable to answer a simple question from a student, it can be quite humiliating.
One common theme is appearance. People often get humiliated because their feet are considered too big, too small, or not aesthetically pleasing in some way.
