Embarrassing Moments

Pimple Incident At School

My most embarrassing moment had to be when I was in the 5Th grade. I had never had a pimple before in my life. I knew I had to go to school it wasn't an option. I remember doing the same routine as any other day. Except that as I was covering my face with one hand everywhere I went. I had thought covering it no one would notice. Well I had thought wrong. It wasn't really like me to cover my face the whole day. So then one of my friends had asked me, "what was wrong". I had told them why Ive been covering my face that whole time. They thought it was silly of me to act like that. But in my mind it wasn't silly. That big red spot on my face that wasn't suppose to be there. Finally I said forget it, if my friends really don't care then i shouldn't neither.Later in the years I got bad acne but this time I was older. I was aloud to use make up .Cover up works pretty darn good. It gets the job done.
