Question

Blakemore discusses how the level of embarrassment children and teenagers feel changes over time. explain a situation in which you were embarrassed by something. would you have felt the same way five years ago? are you likely to still feel the same level of embarrassment five years from now? explain.

Answer 1

My mom thought it was funny to walk into the house when I got my braces off, to tell everyone that I had a boyfriend and I was embarrassed because I didn’t want anyone else to know unless I told them. Five years ago, I wouldn’t have been embarrassed, I would’ve laughed and owned up to it. Five years in the future, I would be even more embarrassed because if my mom did that to me as an adult, I wouldn’t know what to think and I would most likely walk away from everyone until I felt less embarrassed by what happened.
