Dance, Dance Nightmare

My teacher put us into groups one day to make up a song to present in front of the entire school about drug safety. My friends and I put together all these cool moves, back flips, and cartwheels. When we got up on stage, I started counting down the group in 3, 2, 1. I started the song, doing all of the actions while the rest of my group just stood there and stared! I started to cry on stage, and for days everyone in the entire school asked if I was okay!

Erin

WOW!!!

Sorry about what happend!

OMG!

Why weren’t your friends doing anything? Sorry about that! It happens to everyone some day!

I Know

I know Its so Embressing i feel bad for her i hope people forget about it

Maddi

That's soooo mean!

I can’t believe anyone would do that! i think that’s one of the rudest things i’ve ever heard of! r u still friends with them?

Hey don't feel bad.

Yes that was rude what they did but something similar happened to me, but the thing is i’m extremely outgoing so I kept laughing and dancing till the routine was over and i looked back and told the other girls if you won’t dance don’t steal my stoplight! ,then I pushed them off and kept dancing and dancing i even started singing! But girl my advice to you is rub some dirt on it! In other words brush it off people will get over it! trust me it won’t last for long but until then make as many jokes at it as possible and just laugh it off! you go girl ! Emily

Re Thats soooo mean

qmg that was really mean of the friende to do that i agree 100% i could not cope with those friends

must be akward

i know how scary getting in front of the school but messing up would be really scary

omigosh

i have so had that happen to me i was so embarised but people said i looked cute even my crush

=) l.o.l

OMIGOSH

me and my bff’s dance the chicken dance in front of my crush!! lol even though he thinks im wierd i dont care!! = )

good 4 u! :)

good 4 u! :)

omg

how rude!!! i can’t belive they put u off like that!!!!

Courage!

Even though something that embarrasing happend, you still had a lot of courage to go up there! That so would have been me, but I would have started to cry, run off the stage, and hide the whole day in the bathroom. You probably set a good example, instead of your friends who kind of bailed! Alyssa

Cry?

Why would you cry you should be proud that you knew the song and the dance. Don’t be embaressed be proud.

Stage fright

It is just stage fright. It is no problem. And if people make fun of you stick up for yourself. If it’s a boy say “So what I got stage fright and leave me ALONE! I don’t have to exclame my self to you!!” But if it’s a snotty girly girl say “Leave me alone BRAT! Do I amuse you go away!!!!”

you really shouldn’t say

you really shouldn’t say that. it’s rude, mean, and bratty. you don’t call people brats and you definetaly don’t shout at them. just tell them that it’s just stage fright and it’s natural. being mean doesn’t get you ANYWHERE.

responding to stage fright

She did not get stage fright,the rest of her group did! She was doing great but her group got nervous and probably forgot!

Actually...

She did not get stage fright, the other girls just didn”t do the dance with her. Reread the embarrassing moment more carfuly and you’ill see.

responding to the stage fright one

That would be mean calling them a brat. Even if they are making fun of her she should just ignore her or say something like, “Yeah! That was pretty funny!”

It's Ok

It’s ok cause they were probably just a bunch of scaredy cats. So don’t fret. I think you were really brave for going up there and doin all that. : ) tammy

OMG

We agree with Erin! People will forget so do not worry!!

Maddy & Carse

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD HAVE DIED RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unembaressed

dear erin if i were that girl i maybe would be a little emberessd but i probaly would just laugh my head off and ask my group if we could just start over from quinn lets go buckeyes!!!

OH MY GOODNESS

im so sorry that must have been really really embarrising at least the school did not laugh at you

chow!!

omg

i would not like the group but i wouldnt be able to do it i would start laughing

...

shouldnt the other people be embarrsnt? because they werent doing anything, you did the right thing.

omg

Its ok! Dont worry about it… it will be over with! ♥♥

OMG

how come they just stood there and didn’t do anything while you danced? At least you were brave enough to actually dance!!

Dance Horror

OMG! If that happened to me I would have screamed! I hope your group at least apologized or something because if they didn’t, that would not be cool.

                                                                         -SR

Dance diva

If that had happened to me I would have just kept doing what I had practiced because if u got marked on that u would get a better mark then your friends

So Sad!

How could your friends just bail on u like that? I feel 4 u! If something like that would’ve happened, I would of never shown my face again in school! Well, eventually I would of had to, but I totally feel 4 u!

:-(

SERIOUSLY

respond to SERIOUSLY

That is so bad!

I agree,why would they bail?That’s not being a good friend!

I agree too

I agree how could they do that? But still they might have just forgot.

But I feel for you. I hate to cry at skool.

hmmm

I feel so bad for you. But I also hate it when I cry at school.

Leslie

wow

that happend to me to but i was not at school i was at a national compotion it will all blow over.

Omg

I can’t believe your group did that to you!! Don’t worry, it will be old news soon. A similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago. We were performing these dance routines at school in front of our whole class, and my group messed up badly, and you could hear people whispering and giggling while we were performing, it was that obvious. And, last year, I was in the spelling bee in front of the entire SCHOOL, and I mispelled the word ceiling!! Everyone thought it was hilarious! Yup, embarrassing moments is the story of my life. Those two are about 2 of the literally dozens I’ve had.

Here a tip.....

I feel so bad for you!! I am very sorry, I want you to know everybody gets embarrassed sometimes….just most of the time people get embarrassed not at the same time!! Anyways I feel bad for you and I would like you to know that…..but this is coming from someone who wouldn’t get up on a stage if I had to!! I hope that you get over this and I would like for you to know that I will pray for you. I think you probly will get over this but I understand that you got embarrassed. And for all of the kids who asked if you were ok, just say, ya I am ok I got got a little upset but I am ok now. And if they start making fun of you or they ask you if your really, really sure if your ok just say, Hey, I said I am alright and thats what I meant. If they start making fun of you more just ignore them….and trust me….I KNOW what it feels like…I have been teased alot. So I hope that this helps!!
Forever Courtney~~~~

Here my tip to you...

I’m sooooooooooo sorry that happened to you! but….. everybody has en embarrassing moment! once i was playing with some of my friends and one of my friends had made these boys mad. one boy threw a rock at my friend but….. it misset my friend and ensted it hit me right in the head! i couldent feel one of my fingers and i couldent hear in one of my ears! I didn’t know what to do so i started to cry! i ran all the way back to my house but i was so embarrassed! The boy did say sorry and my finger iand my ear were fine but it was really embarrassing! So just don’t lisen to all the giggles and coments people say and the’ll forget about it in no time! your trully Alissa

My Advice

Tell your friends how you feel too. Then, when somebody asks you if you are okay, say how you really feel. Like this “I’m okay, thanks for asking.” or “I’m actully over it. Thank you very much for asking.” Or, if you feel terrible, say something like, “I’m a little mortified, but I’m not mad at anyone. Thank you for being so considerate!” Or what ever you really feel. But if your mad at them, don’t tell anyone that, for privacy reasons. I hoped I helped you!

I'm so sorry! (I feel ya all the way) :(

I totally know how you feel i did something like that at my holiday concert at school for band. My band teacher counted us off and I played flute with 3 other people anyway my teacher whispered to us 1, 2, rea-dy go, anyway I was the only one playing ( it was a long solo for us all) and I was so scared but I knew I would mess up theentire concert if I stopped so I kept doing it annd at the end of the solo I felt a bunch of tears in my eyes ( we had a bunch of rests in that part of the song) but the 3 other girls who plaed flute with me said ” Oh, dont cry that was soo good we totally screwed up and you saved the whole concert!” I felt a little better but I know how embarsassing it is!!!

yeah I know

hey! My music teacher counts EXACTLY like that! weird…

RE: I'm so sorry! (I feel ya all the way) :(

OMG!!! My music teacher counts like that too!!! WE PLAY THE SAME INSTRUMENT TOO!!!! freaky. I also play piccolo sometimes and piano sometimes. But sca-ry. I wonder if we know each other cause that would be sweetness!

Cheer off

I had done somethig similar. My classs slip into groups and we had to make a cheer. I had the best moves but my team didn’t do anything. Another time we did a musicle and I made a song and I was stuck singing it!

Mortified!!!

I am soooo sorry. they should’t have done that. that’s not a true friendship. You should totally talk to them.

girlfriend thats soooooooooo sad

girl that must have stunk. sorry about that.feel better ttyl

  luv C.

Reply to Mortified!!!

Yeah. talk 2 them.

i HATE it when people do that.

                            :  [

Feel So Sad

OMG I am so sorry! If I were one of those friends I would in a million worlds start to do the song. You should really not be friends with them or have them apologize big time. Your right to cry. I would! You were even dancing without them. How emmbarrsing could that be? You did everything and they just stood there. Did they get in trouble? I really hope right now you are not friends with them. What a cruel thing to do.I feel really bad for you. Most embarrising moment I have ever heard of! Like I said I feel really really really bad for you. TTUL

-Shoulder to lean on

OMGOMGOMG

That is embarressing!!!! I feel soooo sorry for you! OMG!

unfair

that is so humiliating! and it was mean how ur frends stood u up like that. they shoulda never did that 2 u. i hope they apologised 4 that coz that was just unfair. but dont hate them . give them another chance

embarrassing

I would have died if that happened. I hope you never have an embarrassing moment like that again.

Emily

Um, Wha?

Why would her friends just stay there and stare and not start the song? -Nobodie

embarassing

That is so embarassing. I wonder why your friends didn’t do the routine with you.

So Sorry! :-(

Why in the world would your friends desert u like that!? I hope they apologized, and if they didn’t, I would look for new dance partners in the future. Sincerely, Ashley

OMG!!!

omg that’s horrible!! why would your friends do that???! that’s really mean! i feel really bad for u! i would have been mortified if that happend to me. :(

JUST LAUGH A IT!

it’s okay..at least u had the guts to do it…your crew just made fool of themselves by standing there and doing nothing after all of that hard work…but just laugh at it because when something like that happens just let it be!

PEACE angie < 3

Dance, Dance Nightmare
