Everyone has embarrassing moments, it's a part of life. I still remember my most embarrassing moment not only because it was obviously very embarrassing, but because people from my childhood have kept bringing it up over the years. It was oh so funny to them, but to me it was a very traumatizing experience. But from all experiences in life there is always something to learn from it. It's called growing up. What matters is not that something embarrassing happens, you're not supposed to dwell on it. Instead it is in your best interest to get over the embarrassment and take away the life lesson that the moment was trying to teach you. But first let's look at what happened.

So I was in 7th grade at the time and honestly that fact is what makes this story even more embarrassing. I was in math class sitting next to my best friend as usual and all was right in the world, except that I was in math class of course because who really likes math. Anyway, all of a sudden a bird flew through the window of the classroom. Now mind you, this bird wasn't doing anything wrong, it had just lost its way for a second and flew indoors so I didn't pay the bird any attention. My best friend on the other hand who was sitting right next to me was freaking out because she was terrified of all animals. I started to laugh at her because she was really scared of this harmless bird, which had started to hop from desk to desk towards us. My best friend ended up pulling me onto the floor of the classroom with her and this caused the bird to fly away out of the classroom to her relief. By this time I was hysterical with my laughter and I just couldn't stop it. Suddenly I felt warm liquid rushing down my legs.

That's right I peed myself. In the middle of a classroom full of my classmates. I tried my best to stop it but before I knew it, it had developed into a huge puddle on the ground. My best friend had gotten up at this time and was asking me why I was still on the ground when she noticed. I told her not to draw attention to me even though people were already asking why I was still on the floor. She managed to go tell the teacher what had happened. The teacher was like "wow" and then told everyone to put thier heads on the desk while I left, but of course they peeked through their hands. While I was in the principals office to find a new set of clothes, it was break time and I heard that a lot of other people came from classes to look at my puddle of pee. After I went to clean it up and school ended. I thought it was all over. But no, I was harassed by a group of boys who followed me around all afternoon calling me "Pissy". My friends tried to protect me but one by one their parents came to pick them up and I had to endure the name calling and teasing alone until my mother came for me.

Enough with that highly embarrassing story, especially since this all happened when I was thirteen which is way past the acceptable age to be peeing yourself. But onto the part where I tell you what I learned. I learned that teachers don't always know what to do in special circumstances. I mean who tells a class of children to put their heads on a desk and expect them not to peek. I learned that young teenage boys are extremely mean. That nickname haunted me for years. I learned that you should go to the bathroom when you feel the need to instead of holding it and waiting for a break. The last and most important thing I learned is that Karma is a b****. I believe that because I was laughing at my best friend being scared of this little bird, karma decided to pay me back in full by making me embarrass myself in front of a bunch of my peers.
