Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
after spinning ten times anyone would be dizzy enough to fall, but the fact that you got right back up and kept going shows a lot about yourself. but you are right, people are bound to still make fun of you because in high school, sad but true, kids really don't have anything better to do with themseleves. so when monday rolls around the best you could possibly do to make it look like you dont care is to just blow it off, laugh with them. if anything it will just aggervate them that what they say doesnt get to you and they will just find someone else to victimate.

You'll live through it, if you don't dwell on it. EVERYONE has had an embarrassing moment. You just have to brush it off, sure it happened. BUT things like that have happened to PLENTY OF PEOPLE, TRUST ME.
DONT'S ;
When you go back to school, DON'T talk about how embarrassing it was to other people, because that'll only make it worse; and you're really attracting yourself for bad attention.
DON'T hide from it either, it only makes you look ashamed and it will make people think that you should be.
DON'T mention it if just so happens no one remembers it. People do have other things to talk about (like how their weekend went, etc.)
So if NOONE mentions it, DON'T bring it up.
DO'S;
Act like it wasn't a big deal (if someone mentions it) say " I was having fun , but I guess I took it a little over a bit"
Laugh it off
Make less of the situation, if you do it other people will make less of it too;

There's nothinggg to be embarassed about! :)
The whole purpose of that bat game is to fall and
get reaaaal dizzy. Of course they'll be laughing,
but would you not laugh if it was someone else?
If anyone laughs at you, then laugh withhh them,
so that you seem secure and if you act embarassed
then it'll make it awkward, and it'll make it so
that instead of laughing with you, its at you.
So like you said, you need to act like you don't
care. Just laugh and be like.. "hahaha ohhh god
that was crazy." We did this at my school, and it
was a lot guys in my grade, and 3/5 of them fell.
No one made fun of them, because it made the rally
so much better! No worrieess you'll be finee!

You want people to be laughing WITH you, not AT you, right? And they can't laugh with you if you aren't laughing too. So go ahead and laugh it off! Just say, "Omg that was so embarrassing!" or "Yeah, I felt so stupid!"... and laugh about it and then move on to another subject. That will let people know that you're a good sport and that it doesn't bother you.
And trust me... even though people might tease you and joke about it with you, I can promise you that no one will be talking about it behind your back or thinking that you were clumsy or dorky for falling. The whole point of the spinning thing was to get you all dizzy so you'd do something funny. So you were a good sport to go through with it and provide everyone with some entertainment. People will respect you for that, not look down on you for it. So don't worry!!

It sounds like in the first place this was just meant to be a joke of some sort.If people are actually laughing about it in a mean way then they are extremely rude and Immature.I would just laugh along with them.But if they start acting really stupid then tell them that they need to grow up and then turn around and walk away.LMAO. Thats what I would do!

You showed them a lot about your character by getting back up right away. You weren't going to settle for defeat. You didn't let it show that you were embarrassed. You didn't brush it off slowly either- you finished your task with a run. People will respect you for that. You didn't let them see that it bothered you so when it gets brought up, don't let it show then either. Laugh with them. Remind them that you got right back up. Not getting upset by comments will make it boring for them. It will get old in a few days. Someone else will do something and the attention will no longer be on you. Just hold your head up high and joke back. ~Yup, I'm the girl who fell at the pep rally; but I got right back up~

There's no need to be embarrassed. The only way they'll mention it is if they see you brooding over it or something. Go about business as usual and if it comes up laugh and smile.
Tell them "The relay was fun but its a lot harder to spin around and walk afterwards. You ought to try it sometime." Nobody could pick on you then if you have the ability to mock your own self.
