One time our class went rollerskating when i was in 7th grade and i was not super thrilled going because of one reason, i SUCKED at roller skating lol like i got so sick of having to balance yourself on skates and everyone was like super good at rollerskating and i was too scared to skate cause i KNOW i will hurt myself and i wasn't as couragous as i am now (actually compared to me now i feel like i can jump in lava lol) but anyway i felt lonely and was really bored cause we was there for a good amount of time and just sitting there was not the funniest thing in the world, so i swallowed my pride and got on the skates, aaaaaaannnd u guessed it, i did not kno WHAT the hell was i doing, and nobody would help me learn either, they would either look the other way, ignore or make fun of me, beside that tho i sorta learn a bit on my own a bit and i was actually doing pretty good actually( and the teachers didn't really help either im pretty ashamed to admit that) so when i learn how to go straight i didn't learn how to turn.........yeah so i messed up and fell on this girl by accident cause i was gonna fall and she caught me by accident i apoligized but as soon as sorry came out my mouth she pushed me back down (Yeah it was a dick move really, it would be a different story if it was dark but she clearly looked at my face and psuhed me back down, didn't even apoligized either) and when i fell from the shove i hurt my leg i was on the verge of tears but i sucked it up and just took the skates off and that was the last time i put on rollerskates :l lol
I'm sorry you had such a rough time of it... roller-skating is one of the few things I can do fairly well (I'm no competitive skater, though).
thanks well im sorta good (even though i still have no balance lol) i was with the wrong people doing that lol
That's putting it mildly. >_< Maybe next time you can go with friends who know how to skate. It's actually a good way to build your balance (though you first might want to put some time into a balance beam or other similar structure; even a parking buffer would work).
