Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Twas primary schoolI was in class and we had a cover teacher instead of the nice normal teacher I usually got. Turns out she was the merciless evil one who had something against me.
Now, im not good at concentration, and even today i find lessons boring. Merciless evil bitch keeps forcing me to work even though I dont understand the work. Eventually I crack, and in that exact moment everything goes silent as I scream at her:
"STOP PUTTING PRESSURE ON ME!" And burst into tears.
Had to be ushered out of class by assistant head, was calmed, and he sent me back in to apologise to that fat cow at the end of the day! She never apologised to me! The most embarressing situation in my life, and I feel as though I've got more to come
Hope she dies soon, damn her.
