I was competing at the drama eisteddfod and was waiting backstage for my turn. I wasn't too nervous because I knew my piece well and had won with it at my previous eisteddfod. They called my number and I walked on stage. I was about to belt out my stuff when my mum called out, "Honey, you're number seven!". I'd gotten up on the wrong number! The adjudicator was trying hard not to laugh and the audience lost it. Even worse, I had to face them when it really was my turn. Now, I always chefck what number I am before I go out onstage!.

I was doing work experience at a television station and was lucky enough to be in charge of spinning the autocue as the presenter read out from the script. Unfortunetly, I was so distracted with watching him and forgot to keep scrolling his script down, so he was live on television and just staring at the screen for about 10 seconds untill some guy came and pushed me out of the way and took over. It was even worse when the hunky TV guy scowled at my when he walked past.

After seeing The Dukes of Hazzard I became obsessed with wearing cut-off denim shorts. I had one pair that were really short and thought I'd wear them to the school dance. I had my period, but used a tampon, so it didn't matter. Halfway through the night I saw this really cute boy checking out my ass - over and over again. When he came over I thought he was going to ask me to dance, but he just whispered in my ear, "Um, your tampon string is hanging out". I was mortified and ran to the bathroom and didn't come out till the end of the night.

I was at my local mall and was shopping in my favourite store when I saw Rob Mills from Australian Idol working behind the counter. I ran up to him and told him how hot I thought he was and how I voted for him nine times in one minute. I then asked if he would sign my bag. After that, I hugged him and was just about to walk away when he said " My name's Liam. Who the hell is Rob?" I was so embarassed because everyone in the shop saw. I never go in there now, just incase Liam is working!

One day I was doing my homework, when my nose suddenly became really itchy. I tried to scratch it on the outside, but it just didn't work. Since I was alone in the room, I decided to quickly pick my nose before anyone else saw. About 30 seconds later, I heard someone laughing. I looked up and there was my crush. He was dressed formally with a rose in his hand. To make matters worse, I realised I had forgotten about our date. After he saw what I was doing, he left. The next day at school he told me he was going to ask me out, but now he thinks I'm too disgusting to be his girlfriend. I'm so ashamed.

I was at a local fair with my four-year-old sister. She needed to go to the toilet, so I took her to the toilet block where there were two hot guys standing out the front. I told her that she's a big girl and could go by herself. She went inside and I flirted with the guys. We were hitting it off when my sister ran out with her pants around her ankles and a wad of toilet paper in her hand saying 'I may be a big girl, but I can't wipe my bum yet!". I went red and the boys walked off laughing

I was at the shops and needed to buy pads. I ran down the aisle and grabbed them and put them in the trolley next to mum. 30 seconds later, a guy came up to me with the pads saying, "Are theres yours? You put them in my trolley." I could have died.

I used to date a guy named Adam, who I thought was cheating on me. So, as a test, I made up a fake screen name to see if he'd flirt with me online, We chatted for a few minutes, then I asked if he was looking to meet someone new. He said he was and even suggested we go out! Thats when I lost it and said "Adam, this is Becky. I've had it with you!" Boy, did I get a shock when he answered " This is Adam's dad. Maybe it's best if you two did stop seeing each other." I was so humiliated, but what's worse is that his dad threatened to file a complaint about me to my Internet provider! Ugh! - Becky, 15 

By the end of summer camp, almost all of my friends had kissed a boy. I'd been crushing on this guy Ian, but all we'd done so far was hold hands. By the last week of camp, I was determined to kiss him. I put my plan into action by telling Ian I needed to practice my paddling skills for the camp Olympics on the lake. He agreed, having no idea I was planning to make a move. We were pretty far from the shore when I moved in for the kiss. He was so suprised, he jerked backward, tipping over the canoe! We fell into the water, which was full of algae and weeds and totally nasty. Luckily, we managed to flip the canoe back over, but Ian was bright red all the way back to shore. Guess I went a little overboard with my plan!- Natalie, 13

A few months ago, I went on a class trip to see a play. It was really boring, but instead of snoozing, I kept getting up to go to the bathroom because my stomach hurt. After the third time, our chaperone told me that I'd have to wait 'til intermission, which was in a few minutes. I tried to hold out, but suddenly, I had a desperate need to fart. When loud music began to play, I figured if I let one rip the music would drown it out. But as soon as I let out the worlds largest fart, the music came to an abrupt stop, because a character on stage died! Not only did I stink up the theater, my class laughed at the most dramatic part of the play. Worst of all, I've been known as the "Fartistic Genius" ever since! - Sascha, 14
