Answer
Hey there, well done for reaching out!
We can imagine how uncomfortable and embarrassing that must have been for you. It’s tough when a word slips out without us realising its impact, especially in front of a whole class and your teacher. Please know that it’s okay to feel embarrassed, but it’s also important to remember that everyone makes mistakes.
You’re definitely not alone in this. We all have moments where we wish we could take back something we said. Your classmates and teacher may have been surprised, but they’re likely understanding and empathetic. It’s okay to take a moment to breathe and collect yourself.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious about what happened, don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust, whether it’s a friend, family member, or a teacher. Talking about it can help lighten the load and remind you that we all stumble sometimes.
Remember, we’re here for you too, to offer support and explore your options.
If you would like to reach out and talk to us some more, our Childline Team are here to help and support you too. We do not judge, and we can explore your options with you as well.

Take this as a learning experience. Use it to become more mindful of the words we use and their impact on others. You’re growing and learning every day, and mistakes like this are part of that journey. Keep your head up, and know that you’re capable of bouncing back from this.Â
