Last friday I was called to school (with my parents) because I passed this year with honour (cum laude). The aula was full of people (luckily I don't have problems with that anymore), but afterwards teachers came to congratulate me and shook my hand (really don't like that) and then kissed my cheek

EEEEEEEEKKKKKK! As I don't like that strangers (or teachers) come into my comfort zone, that was a really awkward moment... (and one of many, should I say xD)

My question now is: what were your awkward moments this year????

I'd feel awkward if a teacher kissed my cheek, too! Can I ask where you're from, is that a cultural thing?

An awkward moment for me was when one of my VERY extroverted professors had the class play this group game that I was very bad at.

Hi Nkiruka! I'm from the Netherlands. Normally people are a bit distant here, but on special occasions they all get emotional and sticky

I've also played many group games in class, which made me feel uncomfortable, so I can definately relate

Every single minute that I've spent at school is full of awkward moments.

But if a teacher kissed my cheek I would probably get so shocked that I would accidentally slap this teachers face..
