Have you ever done something that was a town scandal?

Trigger warning.

Have you ever done something that was a scandal and the whole school or town knew about it ? And you were embarrassed about it ???

When I was in high school, I was a good girl for the most part. I was quiet and didn’t have a lot of friends. I was also naive and wanted boys to like me. This one guy started hanging out with me and he was a pot head. I smoked with him one time. He gave me some to keep for myself. I had it in my backpack. One day at school, I showed my friends. But then I got caught by a teacher. I got suspended for the rest of the year and the whole school talked about it and made fun of me for it. People that didn’t know me, thought I was a huge pot head. It was so embarrassing. My family was so mad and embarrassed. I was “canceled” as today would call it. I cringe when I think about it. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and I have anxiety over it.

I haven’t told my fiancé about it yet as I think he will judge me. I get so nervous that someone I knew from school will tell my fiancé. Or people I work with.

I am 31 years old now btw. And this happened when I was 15.

Do you have any advice for me ?

Or have you ever made a big mistake before ?
