As an example, in high school, my year went skiing for the school trip. I was having fun, but I was terrified of the actual skiing (A fear of heights will do that). Anyway, we go for the lessons and I'm terrified but I eventually get down the slope. It was fun. I get back to the top and one of my friends pulls me aside. apparently while I was going down, the instructor had turned to the rest of my classmates and said &quot;so, is that kid retarded or what?&quot; so yeah, usually people just talk about it behind your back.
