Sometimes I think I would do well as a DND nerd, I tried it one time in school and kept rolling 1's over and over and over while all the other kids laughed and poked fun. It was a very unpleasant first experience though I know logically I just got really lucky with cursed dice.
They were likely laughing at your bad luck, not at you personally. My group all laughs together about ridiculously bad luck that ruins otherwise plausible outcomes. Although you said kids, so it's possible they were laughing at you too. Kids can be like that. Find another group and give it another go. It's tons of fun. D&D night when we have a game going is the highlight of my week.
A healthy group commiserates and takes failure as an opportunity to build bonds and make 'interesting' solutions to give the DM headaches! If you can cobble together a group, it's great with people you already know.
