Yesterday I went to a fair with my friend and we went on one of those rides that spins in a circle while your individual 'pod' spins. It's almost like teacups, but the platform that all the pods are on is on a slant. Anyways, I guess going on an empty stomach wasn't the best idea, because I threw up on myself and a little on her!! we did stay the whole day because we could clean it up pretty easily as it didn't have any food in it or anything. (not to go into too much detail but it just looked like a lot of spit that evaporated pretty quick). I'm so embarrassed how can I get over it? I already apologized to her, and she said it was ok but the group we were with found out, and they won't stop teasing me about it. I'm afraid theyre going to tell everyone! Advice?

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. The whole point of those rides is to make people dizzy, and some people throw up when they're dizzy! It's not abnormal at all, and it's certainly not shameful or wrong in any way.
On the other hand, teasing someone who threw up on a ride is another fun part of going to a carnival; I'm sure they're not trying to be mean. And so what if they tell everyone? You're not the first person this has happened to, and you won't be the last.
Trust me that you're going to be looking back on this with fondness and laughing about it in years to come. For now just forget it!
So many people are sensitive to vomiting on rides like that- it's called a tilt-a-whirl.
If they keep teasing you and start telling everyone, don't be embarrassed. Don't show that you're embarrassed, either. Make a joke out of it. Laugh about it. People will shut up about it if it doesn't seem bother you. And they'll forget soon, anyway.
Do NOT bring up something about someone else- it'll only hurt you.
okay say it was just a dream n forget
don't worry people will forget about it
