What embarrassing things did you do as a teenager?

I wish girls dug me like that in high school

Well, since I didn't understand until years later, it wasn't any good for me. Just a reason for me to beat myself up for having been stupid.
But similar things happened a couple of more times, I just wish I had understood it there and then.
I heavily insulted another girl in the US who I believe might have been interested, by joking about her Polish roots. I thought then that I was being funny but I was just mean to her.

i'm still in my late teens (19 as of today) but boy have I done a lot of embarrassing things. One that makes me cringe is when a classmate asked to borrow my calculator. I obliged and he gave it back with Call me maybe written in letters and numbers on it, followed by a phone number. I laughed and erased it because I thought it was a joke, knowing that classmate though, it was probably but I hurt his feelings as he ignored me every day after

Another was more recent when I noticed one of my classmates was breathing differently, they said no and I went "oh because you are breathing more heavily than normal" ;-;

I also accidentally let slip that I knew a new friends routine from piecing together where I saw them at different time which made me sound like a stalker

When I was 12 I stirred the cup-a-coup I had for lunch at school (as I did everyday) with... my pen. The one I used to write. I did not see anything wrong with it but, yeah, in retrospect that's weird and gross.

I went to a special school for autistics and everyone still thought I was freaking weird.

I used to lick the gravy off my knife and one of the kids on my lunch table would call me a freak for doing it. A nicer kid warned me (in a friendly way) that I might cut my tongue by licking the knife, but I knew what I was doing and I never did cut my tongue. I didn't realise until later on that licking my knife just made me look stupid to most other kids.

But this was when I was about 10, not a teenager. Doing embarrassing things is worse when you're a teenager because other teenagers remember it more. In my last year of school (age 16), I had unshaved legs, unwashed hair and had my trousers pulled up too high, and had no idea that I was going around looking like an idiot who didn't care about appearance. And that is what most of the people I went to school with will always remember me as.

Just two months before I turned 13, at the very day of my elementary graduation...

I photobombed a faculty group photo.

In front of the entire audience. Consisting of all the staff members, a good half of the school students and their parents.
Acting creepy and out of place behind the teachers and the principal.

And is now printed forever in someone's albums and one of the past year book.


I'd do it again. And I'll do it worse than that.
