Blushing happens when you feel embarrassed, and it makes your face turn red. It's like your body is saying, 'I'm sorry!' to everyone around you. Your brain sends a message to your face, telling the blood vessels to open up so more blood flows to your cheeks, poof, you're blushing! Sometimes people blush even when they don't want to, and it can feel like the whole room knows what happened.
Examples
- A boy spills his juice in class and turns red from embarrassment.
- Your friend tells a funny story about you, and you blush in front of everyone.
- You trip in front of your crush, and your face gets really hot.
