Someone Wonders “What Was ‘The Incident’ In Your High School?” And 30 People Give Interesting And Insane Stories
Nothing compares to the good old high school days. The paradox of that careless era was that even if you didn’t particularly enjoy it at that time, the chances are, you still carry vivid memories that you cherish throughout your life.
It was a time of exploration and learning unlike any other. It is when most of us made lifelong friends, fell in love for the first time, learned valuable lessons and grew into the person we are today. It is also when we had to deal with college pressures and future anxiety, which was an important rehearsal for adulthood.
So when someone asked on Reddit “What was 'the incident' in your high school?” it resonated with too many people and turned into one hell of a read similar to the adventures of Napoleon Dynamite. Below we wrapped up some of the craziest stories, so pull your seat closer, everyone!

During lunch if you picked up trash and turned it in to the yard attendant you would get a dime per piece. One kid did it religiously, every lunch, and was tormented and bullied the whole time. Kids would knock the trash out of his hands, push him over when he picked it up, call him all sorts of names, they were relentless. Than in Junior year, he bought a '66 mustang.
Not an incident really, but I still have respect for that kid.
I thought they were going to say everyone started throwing tons of trash down and picking it back up for $$.
They actually paid students? At my school every year 7 & 8 class had to take turns, a week at a time, to do rubbish duty for half of lunch. If you didn't bring back a full bag of rubbish one lunch you got detention.
Principal found weed in the boys bathroom. Called an assembly and told us we had to vote for who we think it was. I think the principals son got like 98% of the votes. Suddenly the voting system wasn't valid.
We didn't even coordinate it, everyone had the same idea at once and it was glorious
It's a witch! Burn her! Burn her! (to be read in Monty Python)

Our vice principal’s son was an absolute AH and used his family relationship for all sorts of unfair influence both within the school and school events. The vice principal herself was pretty horrible too. One weekend the VP was away on holiday and her son held a party. Unaware how much we all hated him we got our collective revenge on him and his mother by turning up and trashing the place beyond all recognition (including pushing a shopping trolley out of an upstairs window and into the pond beneath). In the weeks that followed, the VP went round each class to say that no pupil was welcome in her house unless given a personal invitation from herself. Job done! 😎
LOL ^_^ Where I went to school (Florida Space Coast), if you wanted weed, you just went to any of the MANY, MANY, MANY preachers' kids (more churches than 7/11s). It was always them. Always.
During my senior year, the biggest fight of my school career broke out in one of the main hallways during class change. I don't think a single student in attendance that afternoon wasn't packed like a sardine somewhere in that hall. We were going absolutely nuts; jumping, screaming, chanting "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT." Riot mode at this point, really. It was impossible to see who was fighting, much less break it up or make your way through. Principal realized that fairly quickly and called the police to send help. About 10-15 mins later, 10 officers show up and bust through the crowd within seconds only to find 2 students sitting criss cross on the floor playing a few rounds of rock em sock em robots. Senior prank of the century... absolutely hilarious and 100% safely executed. Quality senior prank!
Sadly, I can’t see this prank ending well in the US. At least, not now.
Oh man I must be an old lady because I think this prank is stupid and irresponsible. Downvote me if you must, I understand. I'll just be over here refilling my candy bowl with those delicious candies in the strawberry wrappers...
actually, this was a good prank. much better than the one our school did at the middle school. imagine a square block with the center cut out. that was the design of our school but it was two stories. so, over the weekend we decided that we would TP the building by throwing rolls over the roof to land in the center which was basically just an open area. eventually it looked mummified. then...it rained followed by a warm day. the entire outgoing class spent the next monday scraping dried TP off everything but the roof and outside faciing windows.
Okay what's the principal decided to call the police someone should have revealed the joke.
Good idea, could have done with a little better execution. It would have been better to let the principal through to confirm his students' safety than keep him out thinking they're possibly getting into a serious brawl.
Not high school but I remember in elementary school, we got put on lockdown because someone thought there was a rabid fox on the field. It was a fat orange cat.
dieing? (Cutting lengths of materials with a die or die-cast machine) or dying? (on the point of death)

My brother went out to bring in the cat food for the night (we were feeding a stray mom and 4 babies). Brandished a broom at a fox sneaking a bite. It was a floofy, not fat, orange cat. The kittens' dad, to be precise.
Senior year we received our yearbooks the week of graduation and to our surprise the full page action shot for men's soccer showcased our player jumping up and lifting one leg to trap and control the ball. Unfortunately, he forgot to wear underwear that game and the tip of his weiner was fully visible sticking out of the bottom of his shorts.
Our school had over 4,000 students and we were required to bring our yearbook in to security to have the d**k sharpied over or we would not be able to walk at graduation.
I know of a similar incident, but in this guys case it wasn't just the tip and it was in a full bus...
Being able to show that yearbook off later in life would be worth forgoing the graduation walk.
I went to a private school where you weren't allowed to have your phone on you. One day the vice principal bursts into a classroom and says in a panic "quick, I need to use someone's phone!" 10 kids got detention and their phones confiscated.
Screw you Mr. Kiefer
Too bad no one said Did your mama every tell you about the boy who cried wolf.
Right? It's almost like there is an entire well-known fable to teach us about why this is a very bad thing to do.
Load More Replies...You should always be allowed to have a phone maybe not on you, but near you like in school situation in the backpack. For safety reasons. Of course on silent, but maybe parents or guardians numbers should be allowed on unmute at least on some situations. I'm not a helicopter parent, not a parent at all, but I'm just trying think logically here
When I was in high school, our hick town school had a “gang” called the Cobras who would spray paint “Cobras” on school property, write it on desks, in the bathrooms, basically everywhere. It’s was dumb and many of the students had a good idea who was a part of this “gang” but the teachers didn’t.
The principal would call down groups for photos in the year book (siblings, sports teams, drama club, etc) on overhead announcements, and one day they called down the Cobras for a school photo for the yearbook, to try and figure out who they were. They caught almost half the students who were defacing school property because they showed up for the “group photo”.
My sister works as a VP and she says if the kids don’t think you are a complete k**b, they tell you everything. There’s also cameras everywhere and social media. She knows who’s on drugs or selling them who’s having sex in the blind spot, who’s fighting, who is struggling with their gender identity , what clique everyone is in, who created the giant balls of toilet paper (they made a TikTok) etc etc. so if the Vp was halfway competent, they wouldn’t need a photo.
This could have been 40 years ago, for all you know.

So every school has their weird kid. Were going to call my schools weird kid T. Everyone knew him, and knew something was off. He was an angry kid. But otherwise functional, was in band, normal classes. But was really weird. Some examples: got mad and broke a window in a practice room, was found butt naked in the room the color guard girls kept their things, threatened people etc. But we never actually hurt anyone. He was actually very kind to me. Well our senior year he said he had a big surprise for the last day of classes. Half the school didnt show up honestly expecting him to bring a gun or something. Low and behold T shows up to school in a dress, and a wig, and makeup with a new name. Totally normal sweet girl now, waitress, nice, youd never know.
Tl/dr: we thought the weird kid was gonna kill us but instead he came to school as a girl.
In college everybody said my physics professor was one of the smartest men in the world, but he was also a complete mess. Wore shirts inside out, misaligned the buttons, etc. And then he started coming in as a woman. Every hair in place, dressed beautifully and perfectly. That taught me more than the damn class.
When anyone claims that kids are "too young to know" their gender, they're wrong. Kids know, and know pretty early on, too. Give them space and freedom to explore, and figure out who they are.
Pretty sure the butt naked thing was after they had been trying on girls clothes and not yet changed back into their own
Yup. Probably really liked the outfit and just wanted to see how she looked in it!
Load More Replies...And yet she's still referred to as the "weird kid". When kids act out like that, there's a problem. They're not the "weird kid". They're asking for help because they don't know how else to ask.
Your statement is true, but in the eyes of their class mates, a "weird kid" will always be a "weird kid". We learn more about them as life goes on and eventually we beginn to better understand and even appreciate them and their weirdness. But at a young age we learn how the world around us works and we understand that there are certain societal norms, no matter what the society looks like and what it's values are. People acting outside of this norms will simply be perceived as weird.

We were all called to an emergency assembly and told a student had died... Her friends were distraught and even the people who didn't know her went quiet. I think I remember a group of students putting together a type of memorial card. The whole morning was morbid... Until the 'dead girl' arrived at school and didn't know what was going on.
I wonder how this came up... When I was in sixth grade I got hit by a car during my walk to school (it was moving slowly and I wasn't hurt). One of my classmates saw it happen and ran to school to tell everybody. When I walked into class late that day everybody looked baffled to see me, and I was handed a homemade card that everyone had signed which seemed to suggest that I was seriously maimed. Maybe this was also just an overly excited student or even staff member embellishing something they heard/saw and people just rolled with it. Very weird that it wasn't confirmed before a formal announcement.
The "incident(s)" my senior year right before we graduated high school were unfortunately actual deaths. :( Memorial Day weekend some girl's parents threw a party with alcohol that ended up with: one girl dead, one girl with a broken neck, and one boy in a coma with brain damage. All 3 of them were a month away from graduating and going on to college when they got in a car with a drunk driver (from the party). Then at our senior picnic a few days before we graduated, another boy dropped dead from a heart problem. They performed CPR but were unable to save him. It was an incredibly somber end to what should have been a celebration of our time in school. Don't drink and drive people!
Some girl at my HS died recently, in her sleep, out of the blue. I don’t know why, but I think she was healthy
We never had a school camp, because the last time they held one, three students got pregnant
Happened at my all girls school. We used to have dance socials with the local boys school once a term. Despite the “3 foot” rule (Stay 3 feet apart at all times) one girl got pregnant. All we could think was that he was a very “talented” boy!

When a school year level goes on camp for a week. They usually stay in dormitories and do things like canoeing and archery. Like an American summer camp but just the one school.
Load More Replies...And, as it was an all boys school, this attracted a lot of negative publicity..
While in high school my summer bible camp which was co-ed had to add a rule " no sexual intercourse" for this same reason. It was Rule #5 and everyone knew about it!
At my high school, seniors had to do a senior project. Can be anything really. Just plan it out and follow through.
A very popular and well liked senior made an end of day announcement that tomorrow morning he'd be in the student parking lot working on it and needs as many other folks there as possible.
The next day he drives into the student parking lot, setup a tripod and a camera. A large crowd gathered round, just about 30 mins before the first bell. He hit record, thanks everyone for showing. Then he reached into his car pulled out a handgun and killed himself before anyone could react.
No one knows why. He was a great guy with a bright future. Never know what struggles others are going through. I think about it frequently and take that into consideration to try and be nice to others with random acts of kindness.
To say that escalated quickly is an understatement. How tragic and sad.
Had a kid like that at my high school, except he had always shown signs of being unstable (I don't know the reasons, but he was obviously getting bullied BECAUSE he was unstable which made him MORE unstable) He snapped and showed up one day, slightly late for class so everyone was in and seated and came through the door pointing a gun at everyone, kids and teacher, saying he was gonna kill himself with the last bullet but the rest were for us. Teacher managed to talk him down eventually and we never saw him again..... until my first day at college a couple of years later when he was in my class! He seemed much more calm and controlled, but me and a guy who had gone to the same high school still panicked whenever he reached into his backpack for something! Horrible I know, but having a gun pointed at you tends to make you a little nervous!
It seems clear HE got some therapy, but did you and the others get any help to cope with that? How did you handle staying in the same class with him? Did you talk to someone, maybe switch to another course?
Load More Replies...I just read the article that is linked on the Reddit page, the day the guy shot himself was the principal's second day working at that school.
A few weeks prior, another student tied weights to her ankles and drowned herself 😥 They weren't friends, and the death by suicides weren't related. So terribly tragic.

It's always sad hearing stories like this. I can't imagine what struggles this person was going through but what really sucks is that the students who witnessed it are now traumatised. its both a sad and why kind of situation. ( sorry if that doesn't make sense. but to clarify I am not bashing this person just a little sad for everyone in this situation)
This happened in grade school but a moose escaped a local zoo and somehow made its way to our school yard during our recess. We were all rushed inside and the school was put into a lockdown situation until the moose left the yard. One guess what country I’m from. Edit: Anyone who guessed Canada is right, I feel like there’s nothing more canadian than almost getting mowed down by a moose
Here in canada tis about personal responsibility. If the moose feels bad he can Apologize. Those responsible for the removal will say sorry it took so long not sorry he came over. Those responsible for his escape will say sorry he got out not sorry he came to visit.... the reason we Apologize so much is to take responsibility for our own actions. Sorry to be so outspoken about it....
Load More Replies...I have never heard of a moose being at a zoo seems weird especially in an area where you would see a moose almost every day anyways. I feel like the zoo is more for animals you don't get a chance to see where that need recognition for support/protecting
In most inhabited parts of Canada, you'd never see a moose in your daily life. They're not just wandering through the streets of Toronto (once there was one that went down the streets of Winnipeg and delayed the Banjo Bowl, but that's a story for another time).
Load More Replies...We had a lockdown cuz of geese. Thought they were something else so they brought us all inside (there was a little forest next to play ground so could have been any animal) but it was geese. Lmao
My school had the same situation happen except the moose wasn’t from a zoo.
The only thing that could have made this more Canadian would be if the moose had wandered through a Timmy's on the way to the hockey rink. ;-)
I saw one on the side of the highway in Maine once, walking along the side of I-95, and was stunned by how big it was. Huge! In photos they aren’t usually near people or cars or anything to give you a sense of how big they are.

* During one of the semi-formal dances of the year (not Prom) some school official thought it would be a GREAT idea to screen the underwear choices of the girls attending, for "morality purposes" because thongs were of the Devil. Their GREAT plan for implementation was to literally pull girls aside from the ticket line and just lift up their skirts. Right there. No curtain, no other room, nothing, just right in front of the gym doors. While EVERYBODY ELSE was in line, able to SEE. This was a NYTimes quote: "said one parent called her to report that a teacher had pulled a girl's top to see if she was wearing a bra."
And then there was the Lore: Why Can't Seniors Leave Campus for Lunch.
Seniors with cars used to be able to leave to get fast food. This was discontinued because some JACKASSES went to the local daycare center up the hill (like a 15 minute walk away) and started flashing their genitals at the children.
Please tell me the parents sued....every "teacher" that participated should have been fired. To be honest, they would be lucky to not be charged with sexual assault.
I would not hesitate to charge them with child exploitation, sexual harassment, sexual assault and molestation charges. I'll go full in on every charge I could think of.
Load More Replies...The seniors who did that weren't jackasses - they were pedophiles. Teenagers are stupid, but the average teenager's skin would crawl at the idea of showing his penis to a 5 year old.
Yes, and what on earth was going on that there was more than one of them?! At my school you could leave campus at lunch in grades 11 and 12 if you had good grades. We would go to a park and smoke up and climb trees.
Load More Replies...So they created the problem of exposure that they were trying to fix? Perverted dimwits!
There had been rumors since my freshman year about the assistant principal taking a certain "special interest" in a few of the girls. Almost everyone wrote it off as high school kids starting stupid rumors.
Until my senior year.
When four police officers came in after school and walked him out in cuffs in front of a few hundred students watching a basketball game against another school.
He was f*****g one of the girls in my grade and selling her oxycodone in the hallways. Got 10 years.
Like when the rather handsome grounds keeper at my high school got busted with a year ten student..oops
At my very rural, conservative high school, all but 1 of the male teachers, the softball coach, and principal were married to former students. The community considered it a good thing for a young woman to marry a teacher with a steady government job that got summers off. The day after my Sat graduation, one of my classmates married the biology/driver's ed teacher. It was an open secret they'd been dating since sophomore year when she took driver's ed. Family was happy because all the relatives in town were able to see both ceremonies on the same weekend.
At my Christian high school, the art teacher and a senior girl ran off together right before graduation. The school thought the solution was to... cancel the art program completely.
Load More Replies...I taught at a school where a teacher impregnated one of his students, the daughter of the president of the school board. Guaranteed firing, right? Nope, the school board president didn't want the father of his only grandchild to be out of a job. The teacher was not only kept, but promoted to a higher-paying position. All this in one of those rural, conservative, family values community.
If the world was run by women, sentence would be life. 10 years effing a.
A teacher at a private girls school in my city was caught with child pornography and also charged with molesting some of the students. He was someone we knew because he lived a couple of streets away from us, had children that we went to primary school with a few years before, and he was one of the leaders at the local church boys group. The minister of the church was also part of the same child pornography ring. Last I heard he was put in jail for much too short a sentence and his wife and children had left him.
The choir teacher at a local high school got busted for having a sexual relationship wit a student since she was 16 & a sophomore. Whole thing came out when she was TWO WEEKS AWAY from graduation & had just turned 18!! Somebody thought it was okay to tell everyone that they were engaged & would be getting married once she graduated!! Then there was the GYM teacher who got busted for SEVERAL inappropriate contacts with minors!! (Yep, same school AND within the same year!! Plus gym teacher's mom, who had also been a gym teacher, got FIRED from her job after getting drunk at a local parade in 1983 & called one of my band mates a "s**t & a whore" while the band was at parade rest mid-performance!!)
A similar incident happened in California. A principal was abusing elementary-age boys. He was arrested, bailed out, and then took his own life.
Another similar incident on a Degrassi TNG episode. Except it was a basketball coach who was being inappropriate with one of the guys.
oh man..
One time this kid i was friends with brought this hot sauce called Da Bomb(1.5million scoville units, hotter than hell) to high school and let a bunch of kids try it during lunch, i mean atleast 30 kids. Some kids really started freaking out because that s**t is ridiculously hot, like you’re supposed to add one or two drops to a big batch of chili to make it spicy. Some were trying to show off and took a swig of it and ended up vomiting everywhere from the heat/panic. Multiple kids had to go to the nurse and be sent home because they way overdid it, although i think most just really had no idea what a scoville unit was or that they made hot sauce that was that ridiculously hot. It was chaos. I tried it as well, a dime size amount, and I couldn’t concentrate on anything but chugging milk. And i’m really good with spicy foods! Finally the principal came on the intercom and said “Whoever brought the hot sauce please..just stop..” My friend got into some pretty big trouble for that one.
My husband loves Da Bomb! It's one of his "everyday" sauces. (He loves crazy-spicy food!) That being said, there have been times when he's taken one of his hot sauces to a potluck or something to spice up his own food and had someone ask if they can use some. He always says they're welcome to use it but emphasizes that it's REALLY hot and that they should use it sparingly. It's amazing how many people don't really take him seriously and over-spice their food.
There is a YT video of some macho guy bragging how he is going to eat one of the hottest peppers. Eats it and the rest of the video is of him in the fetal position crying and gasping.
Had a Biology professor that said there are no taste buds that detect heat or spice...that sensation is pain.
I once had Ghost Pepper salsa. After one bite, I couldn't finish the rest because my throat was on fire.
Reminds me of the time I was on an excavation for university. We took turns cooking and the professor made his famous indian cuisine and had a small wooden box with 20 different chilli powders in it. Some of these were not just hot, but a flavourfull representation of the sun. Now imagine a punch of twenty-somethings trying to outdo each other on who can eat the hottest. I'd say I won, but in fact, only the professor won, as his students were crying before him in spicy agony.
It’s from a YouTube series first we feast. My parents ordered it a few years and tried it. First time I saw them cry. According to them it doesn’t have a flavor it just tastes like chemicals and your body just shuts off and says you need to get it out of you. They were freaking out and took turns chugging the milk
The people taking out contact lenses after that went through even worse hell…
A football player with the last name ‘Parham’ got punished for some s**t and was no longer allowed to walk the stage for graduation. One day, a friend of his pulled up in a truck outside of the cafeteria during lunch, slammed on the brakes, jumped out, and proceeded to sprint inside. He streaked through half the cafeteria with a spider-man mask on and “Free Parham” painted on his bare a*s. Staff tried to grab him and stop him, and despite him literally slipping on a piece of food and falling, he escaped valiantly - as any hero should. Eventually, Parham was once again allowed to walk the stage, although I’m sure the stunt wasn’t the only reason for it.
Denying anyone the right to walk graduation short of a threat of physical violence is just wrong. Graduation isn't one day. Its the culmination of 13 years (if you went to kindergarten) of work. Denying it just a bully teaching an entire class of kids to never trust a part of the government, even if the office has a sole purpose to help them. If they are afraid the young adult is going to say or do something controversial, they've earned the right. They are now a taxpaying member of society who is guaranteed by the constitution the right to say anything they want about their government institutions. If grandma doesn't like the guy's shirt saying "F^!k this school" or listen to the valedictorian talk about being gay at the school, she can use her constitutionally guaranteed right under the same amendment to boo them the entire time they cross the stage. That citizen has earned the right to complete their government mandated curriculum all the way to the end.
We had a mandatory rehearsal and if you didn't make then you couldn't walk in High School. We were given plenty of notice but I know at least one kid couldn't walk because he had went hunting that weekend.

A girl in her final year got pregnant and was hiding it from her parents. She was 18 at the time though. She went to the counsellor (qualified clinical psychologist) who was helping her through it. The counsellor walked her through all of her options and did what she was supposed to do. The girl (I think possibly in denial) carried the baby to quite far along but then wanted out. She was also starving herself. Long story short (I also can't remember all the exact details) she apparently went to a dodgey clinic where she convinced them she was much earlier in the pregnancy (guessing they did no tests) and they gave her abortions pills or something like that (like I said - can't remeber the exact deets so don't crucify me). She started profusely bleeding in class the next day and was rushed to hospital. The baby survived for about 4 hours and then passed away. Obviously by his point her parents were there. Upon questioning she named out school counsellor and said that she had forced her to have an abortion. This whole case went to court. Our poor school counsellor could not say anything or defend herself publically until the case was done. We had reporters outside our school gates for ages. It all came out at the end that the girl had lied and the counsellor was completely innocent and had just done what she was supposed to do and had offered the girl all the information and advice for her to make an informed decision. I was amazed at how professional the counsellor was and how she did everything by the book when it came to speaking about her client. Anyway, that was crazy.
This is heartbreaking. We need real sex education for kids, starting from preschool, and we need access to safe, private, legal abortions. End of story.
They're going to be seeing a lot more cases like this now that they're trying to take away abortions, people will be trying to buy the pills off the streets or online. They're going to be using alternatives or people will start selling "homemade abortion pills". So sad, that girl could have died, some girl probably will because of these new laws.
Absolutely. Frankly it's already starting in some of the more Draconian States, I.e Texas and Florida
Load More Replies...OMG. As a young parent, I know it's so scary to confess you're pregnant but it's so important to do so as soon as you find out. Just do it like you're peeling off a band-aid. Once the initial shock and mix of reactions your family will go through dies down it gets better. If they're not supportive there are agencies and people who can help you. It's a shitty situation but it's so much worse if you don't tell anyone.
When we were Freshman in college my friend's (at a different school than me) roommate gave birth in the bathroom one day. No one knew she was pregnant - including the girl who suddenly popped out a baby! My friend walked in on the aftermath.
And of course whoever got her pregnant didn't suffer any consequences at all.
And this kind of case is just going to keep happening unless we make sex ed for young people actually good, and abortions safe and free for pregnant men and women alike.
I was a teacher and a very good kid just got pushed to his limit by a bully teacher (had been bullied by this guy for a couple of years; never did find out what was up with that).
So bully teacher says something to the kid, he runs out to his car, grabs a crowbar and comes in smashing all the glass he encountered (it was safety glass but lots of shards anyway). Tries to go after the teacher to kill him. He got trapped in the library (the classroom was located in a small classroom off the library) and I was right next door, keeping kids in their seats and unable to go to the bathroom for about 90 minutes. Cops began arriving from all directions since we were right off two state highways. State cops, canine cops, etc. Kid destroyed all the beautiful 1940's oak shelving, teacher's desk, anything that would break. His mom shows up and disarms him. Kid gets slammed on a stretcher and hauled off to the nearby AFB, where his dad worked.
Not sure exactly what all happened there but he got a lifetime ban from being at the high school and a serious restraining order from ever contacting or being near the bully teacher.
I liked the kid, never had once tiny bit of trouble with him. Saw him a couple of months later and asked him to please tell me if he was ever mad at me. He laughed.
Kid was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder. Went on to be a good adult. He'd just kind of lost it that day.
I did not know that the kid was being bullied until the s**t hit the fan; then kids told me the whole story. There was nothing I could do except offer words of support to his girlfriend and then be nice to him when I saw him again. As a victim of lifetime bullying (not school but family), I know the damage it can cause.
As far as bullies go, I called them out in my classroom whenever I knew what was going on. But if you know anything about bullies, they tend to do these things at times/places that teachers don't see. We can't stop what we don't witness. Sadly, many/most victims do not report until the situation has reached critical mass.
So what happened to the teacher? Kid who was bullied by a person in power for -years- gets a restraining order and a life time ban from the school but the bully teacher gets what?
I was the "every dude" kid. Played sports so friends with the atheletes, gifted, so friends with the nerds (my favorite, still my friends), popular so had vapid people around, just friendly and courteous with everyone. I wouldn't tolerate bullying, and neither would the guys I played football with. New transfers thought they could get by with some stuff against weaker kids, until they were the weaker kids
A teacher in my high school walked into the unisex bathroom because someone reported that two kids went into it together. He walked in, found nobody in there, and as he walked out the two kids fell from the ceiling completely naked and onto the floor in front of him.
The schools library had huge impressive displays of taxidermy. A huge collection that started well over a hundred years ago. Truly a sight to behold.

More than 200 girls listed, It had a “did already f**k and this is my rating”-column and was adjusted continuously.. Accidentally spread bc one boys GF thought he was cheating and checked his phone. Went on for quite a long time. Huge case. Went national
The kids at my school did something like that. Had code names for every girl in their year
We did the code names like Ay "lunch" looks hella cute today.... Never a F list though. I would never want a girl to feel that degraded

This kind of list is how Metastasis/Fecesbook started. Thank you, Zuckerberg.
Gross. I think I remember hearing this. It even got into at least one movie I know of called "Moxie."
Possibly some of the girls on the list were or are as well. It’s not as if they consented to being put on a list and rated this way.

Which. Guy takes massive s**t off the top floor of a massive stairwell. Same stairwell, someone drops a pressurised can of soda cracking open a teachers skull. Someone brought in a decommissioned WW1 authentic stick grenade. The entire school was evacuated onto 1 yard for 4 hours while bomb squad were on their way. Our schools councillor who took kids out of lessons to help with low self-esteem committed suicide. That one's a bit sad tbh. Drama teacher got arrested for convincing 2 14 year old students to have sex while he watched and he still works there. And a music teacher got sacked for coming in drunk... Twice. I love lower class Britain.
I would like to know what was taught in the drunk teacher's lesson
One teacher at a school where I live (also Britain) was so drunk her colleagues called an ambulance because they thought she was having a stroke. She was sacked, obviously, and probably never worked with children again.
I'm in the US, but this one Geometry teacher is CONSTANTLY drunk and everyone knows. Like you can smell it but he's still got a job cuz his son used to go to the school
Load More Replies...I loved my drama teacher in middle school but...not that much i wouldve ran out of her class
I had a drink science teacher in high school. She openly drank booze out of a giant coffee cup all day long and absolutely reeked. I felt kind of sorry for her.
The tragedy with the school councillor is becoming a bigger problem. These poor people are dealing with more and more difficult children daily. Doing this day in and day out soon start to get to much and can be hard to let go at the end of the day and they have nobody to talk to.
Ours was a sad one. Our boys basketball team was traveling home from a game in inclement weather. The van caught some slush and lost control into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer. The coach was driving and survived. He lost his wife and 7 students. A very sad tragedy.
Damn. Hopefully he has recovered from the incident and the casualties are at peace T_T
I don't think you can ever fully recover from something like that. That's such a traumatic situation.

Good lord. Coach had his heart torn from him and lost his kids. Yeah, not biological, but if you've ever coached, they're your kids and you're responsible for them.
2 guys in my year decided to bring about 50 cabbages in to school and start a cabbage fight in the science corridor. All hell broke loose and cabbage leaves everywhere. About 100 students joined in lol Edit: You most certainly can have 100 students and 50 cabbages in a cabbage fight. (Check the cabbage fight rulebook. Lol jokes). It wasn't a case where 100 students were already there and waiting. The 2 guys just randomly started the cabbage fight at break time and the students who were already in the corridor began to join in. Cabbages started to break. Other students heard the commotion and then joined in. Picking up lumps of cabbage. So on and so forth.
Cabbages are heavy and could do some serious damage if one is taken to the face.
One of the students ditched highschool one day and rode his dirt bike really fast in front of the school popping a wheely while the school was still in session. He wiped out and slid and hit his head on a light pole and died right in front of the school across the street. Really sad and super crazy.
Edit: this was in Bakersfield California. It's crazy how many other places this has happened. Also, no helmet was involved that I'm aware of. A few people have mentioned the light pole, it can also be called a lamp post, or lightpole, sheesh. The pole received all kinds of attention after. People writing notes on it, people leaving flowers and lighters and so on. It was really weird. I wouldn't want to be remembered by what killed me, but I think a lot of students didn't have anywhere else to mourn him.
I saw a kid bash his head open at the skate park when I was like 9. Puddle of blood, brain matter... it was f****d.
There was a girl who was hit by a car while crossing a street across from the school. She flew 9 ft in the air and her head landed on the edge of the curb. But she was wearing a helmet so she only had a few broken bones. The school used her as an example to remind us why helmets are lifesavers and the most important thing to wear when you're riding a bike. This was in the early/mid 90s.
I'm so glad she's OK, especially as it sounds like it was entirely the driver's fault
Load More Replies...oh dang- ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET PEOPLE, also the light pole being a memorial was a little sad..
Yeah. Bakersfield also has a principal who’s serving life in prison for killing his wife and MIL.
And an elementary principal convicted of killing her husband.

One of the girls in my grade made cupcakes with c*m (from a guy friend of hers), hair, and toenails baked into them. She brought them to school and gave them to the people who bullied her. My sister had PE with some of the people who ate the cupcakes and needless to say they were NOT happy.
Our schools big story was, one of the teachers used to send a boy to make him a cup of tea from the staff room. One morning a boy was discovered putting "special" milk in the tea.....he was expelled.
I've posted this before, but in middle school we had a horrible bus driver who was always late, screaming at us, hitting things with the bus, or whacking her kid with a wooden spoon. She was seriously deranged. No idea how she got a job driving kids in one of the wealthiest school districts in the country, but hey - it was the 80's. Anyway, on the last day of school we presented her with a pan of brownies, which my friend and I made with chocolate Ex-Lax. (Which is a laxative in case you weren't tipped off by the product name.) I have no idea what happened, but I feel bad about it now in case she let her kid eat some of them. I felt bad for that little guy. He was always dirty and had to ride the bus all day with his mom - who got out that spoon any time he annoyed her.
Don't feel to bad, sounds like she was such a nice lady she'd have eaten them all herself. Whilst he had to sit and watch

A plane crashed into my high school, and they had to rebuild like half the school.
A plane crashed into my back yard one morning just as I returned from dropping the kids at school, I was on the toilet at the time. I thought a truck had lost control on the street, sped down the driveway and smashed into the house.. that’s was the noise sounded like to me, it kept getting louder and louder and then BANG! He was flying g very low when he crash landed. What a shock when I went outside and found nothing, until I took a few steps and looked towards the back of the yard, a plane on the fence, held there by trees. I was expecting to see dead bodies, but it was just the pilot onboard going off to work. He was shaky and couidn’t walk further than out to the wing. But he was not broken. I called the ambulance and held an umbrella over the pilot as it was a hot day The one and only fatality was a bird, found when the crane drivers came that afternoon to clear the wreck. You’d be surprised how quickly those guys can cut up a plane and take it away.
Ah, that'd be the Round Valley high school, in Eagar, Arizona. A Piper PA-32R-300 Cherokee Lance crashed into the school on June 11, 2010. All four on board died but luckily there were no further fatalities on the ground. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/74746

My high school had a decade themed talent show every year. They would do it in our auditorium which had a orchestra pit underneath part of the stage. Close to the end of the show a lot of people went out on the stage and started dancing, and the stage collapsed. Only a couple people were hurt, but one of my friends broke his pelvis and had to be in a wheelchair for a while. It must been a slow day for the news because it made all the way to the BBC, and Tosh.O did a bit on it.
Ooooh, did Tosh make horrible, callous comments about the folks injured? He's very good at that. At being an a*****e.

This kid was doing pull ups on a door frame in our wood shop and some of his friends thought it would be funny to place a pipe bender under his a*s. When he finished his pull ups and dropped off the frame, the pipe bender went straight up his butt and tore his r****m open. Kid didn't graduate cause he spent so much time in the ER and now he has to s**t in a bag.

Bloody Eejits! Kids are just the worst sometimes. It’s a wonder there aren’t more of them in wheelchairs or hooked up to machines to survive due to the stupidity of themselves or their ‘mates’. My sons 15 year old friend almost died two nights ago. He rode a dirt bike too fast into a commercial fence (doesn’t know how to ride). He was put in an induced coma and had to be flown to a city hospital for surgery. He was very nearly dead and you know what, now he’s awake he wants out of there so he can go camping this weekend. Not to fish or read in the he sun, no thank you, he want to to go off road, dirt biking and play silly buggers. Blimey! They don’t learn.
I would hunt every one of those kids down and inflict similar hurt.
Someone called in a bomb threat to my middle school and elementary School. Instead of evacuating both buildings we were in lockdown for three hours and they condensed all of us in the middle school. We later evacuated to the high school only like 300 feet away and were stuck there for hours because our parents couldn't get to us. All of our phones were taken because they "didn't want us giving information" so there were like 700 white moms in suburbans simultaneously having a heart attack trying to get to the school.
We learned later they called this in to almost every school in the area.
There was a robbery at a Bank of America while the cops were preoccupied.
Stoner kid at the high school called in bomb threats to the middle school like 5 times a day for like a week b4 he got caught. Was called mad bomber man for yrs after. Our school got a ridiculous amount of bomb threats back in the day. They always put us out on the football field. I always said u know if anyone was serious they could just put the bomb on the field
For the last 2 years of my highschool we had constant bomb threats called in. It was a time when real bomb threats were called in for various public places and the cops couldn't take any chances. Kids called in for any given test or to get out of classes, we were so used to it we just grabbed our stuff and headed to a coffee shop nearby for the 2-3 hours it took K9 units to search the building. Every week we had 1-3 calls
In the 80's someone called in a threat to our elementary school. They made us stay outside on the soccer field for hours. Pretty sure if the school exploded we still would have been screwed. Luckily there wasn't actually a bomb.
and stupid cops making them more vulnerable to bombs by condensing them

This was pretty wild for a Canadian school. At the end of the day there was a police car at the front of the school. Someone said they saw a kid get arrested when they went to the washroom. At the end of the day, a cop and the principal were standing at both back passenger windows talking to someone inside. We all just assumed that someone was getting arrested for selling drugs or something. The next day my home room teacher told us between 3rd and 4th period (the 2 afternoon periods in Canada) a former student who was about 20 years old blended in with students and snuck into the school hallways. He wandered through the hallways stealing from unlocked lockers and actually stole about 10 laptops from teachers classrooms somehow. They ended up catching him at the Tim Horton’s down the road. Not sure what’s gonna happen to him but someone said his mom was his get away vehicle a couple blocks down the road, he just had to stop at Timmy’s first. Only in Canada do people have to stop for a coffee and a donut mid robbery.

They distributed to the whole band, which at our school was a pretty large number of people. School tried to confiscate them for being LEWD but of course they couldn't get them all. Besides, people had camera phones and Facebook.
If they were in high school/underage, this can be considered CP. It's not a cute, funny prank.

Was elementary school in a major city. Our classroom was one of several temporary structures, beside the actual school. Some homeless dude bursts in with a fish in his mouth. Everyone was speechless and quickly scattered away from him. Teacher somehow got him out of the class. WILD. Another time..same class. During class one morning we hear some noises from a student's desk. Teacher asks her to open it. She opens it and it's a fukin pigeon...in a bag. The biggest question was how she got the pigeon in the bag?! Just casually kidnapped one on the way to school one morning.
Lol I just pictured the homeless man as Rob Schneider's character in the movie "the animal"

The guidance counselor (female) R*PED a 12 year old (male) student. There, I fixed it for you.
This is still taken less seriously than male rapists raping female children. And we need to use those words to describe it..
100% Anyone who wants to chortle that the kid "got lucky" or they'd love to have experienced this needs to STFU. This is rape, it's not okay, and that kid is going to be messed up for the rest of his life without help and intervention.
Load More Replies...Went to a Catholic high school. The chapel was on the basement level, very secluded, and always left unlocked so students could go pray (no one ever did.) One day a couple of students went in there to have sex on the altar. Turns out they ended up trying a**l and the girl s**t all over the altar. The chapel was locked after that. We had a lot of other incidents but that was the one we can laugh about.
I went to Catholic school and I'm pretty sure the chapel there was only ever used for sex.
Ah, the loophole! (Yes, lots of kids at my school believed they weren't "sexually active" b/c they only did oral or a**l, so they were still "technical virgins." Nope, that's also sex. Just be honest and responsible about it.
I find it hilarious when people believe in an all-knowing, all-powerful deity and then think they can bamboozle him with a technical loophole.

Kid in the year above decided, mid ICT lesson, that he needed to drop the kids off. Teacher wouldn’t let him go so he decided to move to the back of the classroom and proceeded to s**t in an empty pringles can. After dropping the log he went round offering out “pringles” to people, one kid stuck his hand in blind and got a handful of s**t. The kid was unsurprisingly pissed off and threw the handful of s**t at the kid who had the can. There was a whole fight and s**t was thrown over the whole room. It all had to be industrially cleaned and even after that it still stank in there. It was grim!

We had a student commit suicide and the next day, students were crying and upset. One student asked the English teacher if they could go to guidance because they were so upset. The teacher said that no one should be upset because committing suicide is a sin so the kid was in hell. The entire class got up and walked out. She got suspended for one day since it was her “first offense”.
Ugh, I'd have walked out too - right after throwing a textbook at that self-righteous a-hole's head.
Yes, I got offended so the best way to solve it is with violence.

That is the way teachers should respond!
There was a crazy old lady that lived by the school. She used to come outside and yell at students when school let out. Consequently, the students started to intentionally provoke her because they thought it was funny, and, one day, she got a gun and shot one of them.

Having journalists find us outside the school by the park and asking us question about what happened was worse than seeing the dead kid being pulled outta the pool.
The carers at my school left me to help a boy in my class who was low functioning autistic with his sewing so she could talk to my sewing teacher about what she did at the weekend. Same lady got annoyed at my for helping my friend over this kid who I barely knew when again she was doing nothing.
Terrible! This could support the case against inclusion. It might not have happened if he was with a special school group who are on high alert and have more teachers/carers to students
Okay not sure if being persistently asked questions qualifies as worse than having a classmate die and seeing their body pulled out
I see your point, but have you ever been hounded by press when you were still a child? My sister died in an accident when I was 14. News called, was told no interviews, no comment. Then they came to the house and my parents told them no interviews, please respect our family during this difficult time. Later that day 2 friends came & we went on a walk around the neighborhood just to get some space and talk. About a block or so from my house suddenly there were cameras, microphones in my face, people asking me how it felt that my sister just died. It was aired on the news. Like wtf?!? I was a literal child. She didn't shoot up a mall, she died in a 1 vehicle accident in which she was driving. Press can be real vultures.

Our 9th grade year (1989-1990), one of the guys in the theatre/drama class had been threatening suicide and to hurt friends and classmates. She and all her friends went to the teachers and principal, but were told they could do nothing because he had no "history" and therefore, he had to "do something" first. He did. Walked in mid-class, took the entire room (including my friend and her friends who had reported his threats) hostage, brandished the gun around repeatedly, then shot one of their mutual friends who was trying to talk him down. Kid lost his ear, but not his life, thankfully. She was still giving legal depositions 2 years later when I met her, which is how I heard the story.
It is so sad that we have to get to the point where people fall "over the edge" and make "real" problems for us before there is enough motivation to deal with the problems. If only help was offered at an earlier state, the situation can be delt with with a much smaller effort. But no, only a very few play the long game, and is willing to invest in preventing the catastrophies before they happen. Instead we prefere constantly running around with the fire extinguisher and dealing with the fall outs when they happen.
We had a shooting, an outbreak of syphilis, and a thwarted stabbing attack by a teacher's ex husband.
We had a fight club that made front page news when someone added a newspaper reporter to the private Facebook group. The police showed up to the next fight, everyone scattered, and a kid got hit by a bus while running across the street. We got a new crossing light installed in the middle of the block the next semester.

Sat in a science class one day, heard a loud bang come from the room next door followed by a teacher running into our room to get our teacher who was a first aider.. A lad (A) out of my class had been messing around with a blank bullet shaking it and saying "it's only a blank" just as the bullet went off and blew the tip of his finger off. The tip of his finger hit a lad (B) opposite him who looked on the desk and saw the tip of A's finger, B then fainted. So A gets taken off to hospital and B is looked after until he wakes up and then taken off to the first aid room. One of the girls who was sat at the same table looked up at the ceiling tiles and saw a blood splatter and upon closer inspection there was A's finger nail stuck in the tile. Edit for clarity, my school had 5 different form groups in my year and for a lot of the classes we were split up and the different form groups mixed together, this is why lad A from my form group was in a different science class.
"Out of my class" was not the bit that needed clarity, "messing around with a blank bullet" in science class is.
Blanks can do that. At short ranges the wadding can severely injure or kill. I seem to remember that Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son) died on during the making of "The Crow" because of this.
Load More Replies...Oh my god, there’s so many. Too many. My elementary and middle schools (located on the same campus) were in really, really bad neighborhoods. By the time I was done with middle school, I had seen some pretty rough stuff. - There was a ‘suspicious package’ dropped off at my elementary school the year after I graduated it. The entire elementary school (600 kids) was evacuated and then crammed into the gym of the middle school next door (which I attended). Turns out the package was not a bomb, though I don’t think the public ever found out what was really inside. - School was placed on heightened alert my fifth grade year. Not a full lockdown, but students weren’t allowed to leave the building. Naturally, this happened right at dismissal, so the head principals were rushing everybody back in as quickly as they could. I was at the front door, which made it even more terrifying. Turns out there was a teenager on campus with a gun (unloaded). After that, my school was placed on heightened alert dozens of times, but it was never super dramatic since they normally didn’t tell the kids. - The news never found out, but the middle school gym teacher once held soccer practice and separated the black and the white kids and then made them play each other. Me and a few other students were actually the ones who reported it, and he got into big trouble. But he was never fired, and he’s still there. In fact, he’s trying to become a vice principal right now. -High school next door made national news for having three guns on campus in the span of two months. Now every high school in the district has metal detectors. - You might’ve seen this one on CNN. A special ed teacher at my middle school dragged an autistic kid down the hallway, causing him to have bruises on his arms and legs. It was insane because I actually know the teacher who did it, and it was very bizarre to watch the news clip because I had been in that hallway dozens of times. - Not at my elementary school, but at a friend’s. A teacher was arrested for having sexual relations a student at the elementary school. Not at a high school, at an elementary school. - Final incident. At my elementary school (different from any of the ones previously mentioned), the principal’s husband was arrested after stealing several bourbon barrels. It was a massive heist. Principal never got into any trouble, but most parents are pretty sure she likely knew about the four bourbon barrels that were just sitting in her basement. *Hope it doesn't get buried*
This is in Spain catholic school in 79. On kid (10 year old) made a snarky remark in class. The teacher (priest) dragged him out to the hallway desk an all and kicked the s**t out of him. We never saw the kid again. The next day the teacher was back in class. We all just sat there silent. It was my first year in Spain and my Spanish wasn't good so I never found out what happened. Another priest teacher was famous for taking little girls and boy to his office an showing them porn magazines. there was another that taught English and organised the band. Year later he was reported for abusing kids when they went on trips. I was lucky because I failed the test to join the band.
It's terrible all those incidents. One thing IMO though is it shouldn't be called having "sexual relations" when its an adult and a child under the age of consent it should be labelled as assault or r*pe
A girl at my high school went to a party with the “popular” kids one night, and wanted to get high. One of the boys secretly shaved some of his pubic hair and rolled her a pube joint, unbeknownst to her. She smoked the entire thing (one would think she’d smell the distinct stench of burning hair...?) and began to tell everyone how high she was, stumbling around and asking for munchies. All the “cool kids” at the party were in on it. The story spread like wildfire the following day. From then on, she was known as the “pube smoker”. It was horrible, I felt so bad for her. She handled it like a champ though, held her head high (hah) and ignored the comments. I would have transferred schools immediately, at the very least. More likely I would have just walked into traffic. She was a strong girl, I admire her courage to this day, almost 10 years later.
I knew someone who had this same thing happen to them although it was pot with pubes mixed in. Not too many people found out about though luckily.

While they were fighting one of the girls took out a pair of scissors and stabbed the other in the eye. The girl who stabbed her was expelled and the other girl turned out to be just fine and went back to school like everything was normal. The creepy part was, my classroom was the closest one to the bathroom and we didn't hear anything. We just saw the cops. It creeps me out to think it happened a couple feet away from me.
Yeah someone in my grade school took a pencil to the eye. can't imagine how cruel children were when he had his eye patch
Back in my high-schooldays we also had a fight like that but it was a 3 on 1 and razor blades where used. This occurred in a bathroom right across from the principles office and I think she only got her arms cut up. But noone in the principles office heard and it was caught by someone entering to use the bathroom.
The victim was stabbed in the eye, but was "just fine" and "went back to school like everything was normal?" I gotta call bs on this one.
I think what probably happened was they got stabbed on the eye brow or just below the eye...The story is better if you say "The eye" I guess...

Was this in Mississippi? Lol Because I'm pretty sure the assistant principle at one of our district's schools did this same exact thing. Sold it at the school he worked at too though.
Only info OP could provide is female and happened over 20 years ago.
Load More Replies...My grade lost 3 students. Sophomore year a boy was in the passenger side of a truck leaving a party and was t-boned by a drunk driver and died. Junior year within days of eachother a boy jumped out of the back of the bus in an attempt to skip school and go to the beach, he died days later in the hospital. A few guys skipped school to go dirt biking. One of the guys crashed without a helmet and died in his best friends arms. The entire time I was in high school only 3 students at our school died, all were in my grade level. I cried watching their parents accept their diplomas at graduation.
In Jr. High, 7th grade, two of my friends were playing with a loaded gun when the predictable happened. It went off and killed one kid, the other kid went into an understandable depressive spiral and lived to about 22 before taking his own life. Such a senseless tragedy.
When I was in sixth grade, my best friend had a massive aneurysm and died. She was supposed to stay the night at my house that night but decided to stay at a different friends. She had a terrible headache and was super dizzy and throwing up. They called her mom and when her mom got there she told her to put her glasses on and she was taking her to the hospital. When she put her glasses on she fell unconscious, and she never again consciousness. She was 11 years old. I still dream about her. I woke up that night my mother crying but she didn't tell me until the next morning. She wanted to at least let me have the rest of my sleep. I can't imagine how it would have been if she had been at my house.
One of our history teachers tried to put in a video about economics on to watch. All of a sudden all that showed up was two guys wrestling at our school gym where no one usually records. He isn't even the coach or anything. He then went on to say, "Oh, that's Dr. King's video!" trying to cover up the fact he had a video of two Male wrestlers sitting on his desk for no reason. And no, Dr. King was not happy about being falsely accused.
I think OP is saying the history teacher was being creepy And had a video of 2 students wrestling, and had no reason for having that video except being a perv

Had a teacher get involved with several girls in highschool (he pretty much had one on each grade). At first it was just rumors, it then s**t hit the fan and the principal confirmed what was going on when the guy was fired... he was married and had a small child and was leaving his family for a 15yo girl.... months after he got fired, the girl went missing and she was found dead several days later with signs of violence. A day later his body was found in another city about 150 miles away, someone put a knife through his neck. No one ever knew what really happened, but theories are abundant. I'm hispanic, honor killings are not really a thing in my country but the father getting them killed was a theory floated around by people that knew her (mostly us highschoolers). Might have been the wife that orchestrated it but no evidence supports that theory. Iirc, by what the police could gather, after the girl went missing the teacher went on the run, even asked a friend of his for help (friend went to jail for helping him out) before the girl was even found and by then he was by himself (girl was probably dead already at that point). This was mid 2000's.
So sas that this is possibly unsolved. Those poor girls and the families involved.
A fight broke out and as one guy got punched in the face, he literally s**t his pants - and he was wearing shorts and boxers, so it just rolled right down his leg and into the pavement. But he punched back, they got into it, and the other guy pissed his pants. The school cop broke them up and dragged them away, then a girl who was really into fashion came walking by - she hadn't seen the fight, and the crowd was dispersing, but there was still an open ring of people standing around the fight area and s**t ball.... she walked right through, stepped on the s**t, and it smeared on her new white boots.
Why am I laughing at the prospect of the girl stepping into the poop…
While my theatre group and I were away seeing a Broadway show, we got word that a whitetail deer jumped through a large floor-to-ceiling window and caused havoc. Nobody was hurt, but it destroyed a bunch of stuff in the room and eventually died. BTW, it was the special ed homeroom. That's the worst part.
A guy went into the locker room during gym class and s**t into another guys backpack.
Edit: since so many people asked, this happened in a German school in 2014 or 2015.
The guy didn't face any consequences although almost everyone knew who did it. Our principle pretty much was like "yeah... let's not talk about this".
The story also spread like a wildfire in our town and I had friends from different schools text me about it before I even came home that day.
Are you sure it was a guy????? I mean, that looks the M.O. of some One else..... ( We all know who )
This was back in the 70s. In 7th grade some girl just started groping the boys. If you got close to her she would immediately grab your groin or butt, which ever was closer. Sometimes she would grab both at the same time. Of course the boys started groping her back and it turned into a common thing to do and she let it happen. The boys then started groping other girls. Some went along with it and thought it was funny. Others got upset and told teachers and the principal. The principal called a big assembly and read the riot act. The girl that started it all acted shocked and outraged but the adults knew she was the one that started the whole thing.
She was probably sexually abused herself. As soon as a kid gets hyper-sexual, that's a massive red flag. Ignoring it means more kids get hurt.

Someone threw a fork. Hit some 12 year old girl and got stuck in her head.
In my school, once a spider dropped down from the ceiling in the upper school cafeteria, right behind a boy who have arachnophobia. He passed out, but not before he accidentally tossed his fork in the air and spilled everything on his plate. Unfortunately I was right next to him so I ended up with a metal fork stuck in my (thankfully, thick) school uniform blazer. O_o
My junior year, they took a group of us on a college visit. We had some time to explore the campus on our own. Two girls ended up at the frat house. When it was time to leave, they were nowhere to be found. They finally came to the bus about 45 minutes late, completely sh**faced drunk. They apparently had sex with at the frat house as well and one of them ended up pregnant from it. Family sued the school but settled out of court.

Made me think of a regular prank (around 40 years ago at least) at an Antwerp school specialising in anything to do with food (bakery, butchery, cooks etc...) Almost each year right before the easter holidays, someone would flush a large amount of bakersyeast through the toilet. At that time, they were not connected to the sewage system, septic tank cover was in the middle of the school's paved (some 4 volleybalcourts large) inner courtyard and was usually emptied out right after easter. Yeast + a full septic tanks + first sunrays...
i heard that happened at my school! not sure if it rlly did but i was told it happened last year
I'm just gonna start from elementary and work my way up: 4th grade - a couple of the boys who were rougher around the edges decided to bring pepper spray to school. We all had to line up at the doors on either end of the building before school starts and then we'd all be let in at once. Well, the kids thought it'd be a great idea to pepper spray everyone lined up at the door. That s**t hurt man. Then one of them pepper sprayed himself so that he would seem like an innocent bystander - didn't work out for him 6th grade - (my elementary was K-6) we weren't allowed to go on the big grade 6 camping trip because too many kids were doing drugs and/or sexually active. The first and only time they have ever cancelled the trip. Middle school - One teacher was a huge pedo/perv and would look down girls tops. He also coached the girls volleyball team at the local uni. He ended up "quitting" (or thats what they say) to coach full time. 8th grade - science teacher was notorious for putting kids in their place "in a fun way". He would body chuck students in the hallways, dump kids in the garbage cans, and one time, there was a particularly annoying dude in the class, he tied the kid up with an extension cord, put him in a duffle and put him in the storage closet in the classroom. Pretty sure he is still working at that school but I know he was told to chill the f**k out. High school - 10th grade - One troubled kid lit the boys bathroom on fire. Lots of smoke and fire damage, was a huuuuuge thing in the city. 11th grade - One girl was rumoured to have stuck a hose up her vagina and masturbate with it on camera and sent it to the boys in school. Dunno if thats true or not. 12th grade - school caught on fire again. Different boys bathroom and a different kid. Also, lots of ambulances at my school because we have a mechanics course and heavy duty metal works class so there were aloooot of injuries.
What’s up with middle school boys and flaming toilets???
Everything is not ok in this post except the mechanics course
Oh, I have a few. A girl scratched a guy's face so hard he got a scar that runs from his forehead to his cheekbone, passing through the eye, almost blinding him, because she "felt like kicking his a*s". A kid was caught smoking weed on the bathroom several times, because his mother found out he smoked and prohibited him of leaving school during class hours so he couldn't come out and smoke. One Monday we arrived at the school to find a huge puddle of puke on the floor of the main hall. The Students association threw a party the night before, and nobody cleaned it, because they were all either drunk or stoned. After that, no more parties could be hosted at school, they were all hosted at event pavilions outside of school grounds. A girl (16) got pregnant. When confronted by her parents, she spilled all the beans. She and her boyfriend would wait until almost closing hours, and have sex at secluded corners of the school grounds. When she gave birth, the father dragged the boyfriend to the Hospital nursery, placed the baby on his arms and said "this is yours. Deal with it." A really weird teacher was caught watching porn. His students turned the projector on in the middle of a test to mess with him and found out. Edit: I just now remembered, the guy that got the scar was nicknamed "white Nick Fury".
Two of these are similar to mine, when I was in 6th grade (the lowest grade of the middle school), we had PE mixed with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders for each class and the rumor was two students got caught having sex on the stage in the gym while everybody was supposed to be outside doing sports. I wasn't in this particular class, and I was out that day but I was told this happened by multiple people across all three grades. Another, while in 8th grade (the last grade of middle school) there was a 6th grade teacher who apparently got busted watching porn and masturbating in his classroom during his free period. He suspiciously didn't finish the last 2 months of the school year and didn't come back.
Our school had a skiing trip and it was open to years 10-13 so in the UK that’s ages 14-18. During one night a few of the year 13’s decided to play a prank and one of the 18 year olds teabags another boy who was asleep. The boy was only 15 and was bullied relentlessly for the rest of the skiing trip. When he got home and was understandably upset, he told his parents and they lost it! Immediately went to the school and got the police involved who decided to investigate it as sexual assault on a minor. The school went into panic and gathered everyone from the skiing trip before the police arrived and told them that the incident didn’t happen, although knowing full well it did happen. They decided to help the 18 year old out as to not ruin the rest of his life over a prank. The school did a pretty good job convincing the students it didn’t happen and the police bought it was just rumours. The 15 year old was happy as he was no longer bullied as everyone now believed it wasn’t true and the 18 year old avoided prison. But yeah, the school technically covered up sexual assault on a minor.

Some kid put acid In the teachers coffee. It was in the 70's. It was a weird afternoon for sure.
I didn't remember that "acid" is slang for LSD and I was like "SOMEONE PUT HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN A TEACHER'S DRINK?!"
I've heard this as a senior prank soooo many times it's not even funny. I mean even my school said that and of course the alleged teacher that it happened to was still working there and a bit wierd so everyone believed it. I don't doubt that it could have happened once but honestly it's like an urban legend now. Stories also vary saying they went insane or never came back from the trip to even dieing; usually it's one of those three as the result
Not sure if I can talk about this. But let’s try it. There was a group of jocks from my high school football team that decided that it was a good idea to violate one of the kids in the “slower” group with a broomstick. Anytime I went somewhere and someone heard I was from that school, it was always brought up...
Guys who do this must be craving a**l with a man. They’re living out a fantasy. It’s not just a cruel prank, it is rape.

My school had a vet program so we had a classroom full of pets for the students to take care of. One day a sugar gliders escaped their cage and went into the ferrets cage. The ferret ate him.

About 15 minutes after the mouse was let in, only fur and some bones remained of the poor thing.
One of the Founders of the school decided they would have half of their ashes buried in school when they died, in Mexico we celebrate Day Of the Death/Dia De Muertos and when they got the altar going in their grave, a piece of decoration paper spontaneously combusted and set half the school on fire because of how unexpected it was.
It was the last day for the senior class. There were only two significant pranks that day. The principal's office was filled with balloons and glitter, and the main hallway entrance was saran wrapped. About an hour before the day ended, the principal came over the loudspeaker and said that anyone caught participating in a prank would not walk at the graduation ceremony. About a minute after he said this, the fire alarm went off. A guy who was near the principal said that he got angry and said out loud "some ones not walking" before storming off. An entire wing of the school was hazy and smoke was pouring out of a classroom. Turns out the science teacher was doing a laser experiment for his class and created too much smoke with a smoke machine.
End of senior year - some kid was caught on video having sex with his freshman girlfriend in an abandoned stairwell, everyone saw the video and talked about it for weeks. I think he was charged with sexual assault and was not able to graduate.
is having sex with your girlfriend sexual assoult? i feel like theyre leaving something out here
so in some states (assuming it’s the us) there is a law commonly called the romeo and juliet law. if two teens in a relationship no more than two years apart have sex and both say they consented it’s legal. that last pet may not be completely true, but that’s the idea

S**t... there were a couple of noteworthy ones. Class of '96, here. The chemistry teacher who taught a total of 190-some students who gave out 2 A's and 190-some minus 2 F's in 1994. They couldn't fire him because he had tenure so the administration put him on extended leave for a year and then wouldn't let him come back. Somebody shot a deer, dressed it up in a hunting jacket, stuck a cigarette in its mouth, and strung it up outside of the school in May of '96, right before graduation. Failed arson attempt that resulted in the bathrooms on the third floor being boarded up (one of them because the damage was extensive, the other just in case they tried again). Having classes on that floor sucked.
My freshman year some dude stabbed a guy that was bullying his cousin. Made it to the news and everything. We had to pass through metal detectors for the next two years. S**t was crazy.

Some unknown guy killed a prof in his office and apparently hid out in the drywall space in the medical school building for a few days. The police ended up having to clear out that building like it's a war zone and they never caught the killer. They think it was either 1) a crazy student 2) a bit of office politics that gone murderous as the professor was just about the get the plum gig in the department 3) an escape crazy person from the local mental hospital--which was for some reason on the grounds of the university right behind the physics building 4) some combination, thereof.
So… escaped crazy person from mental hospital, who is a student at the school, and is also a teacher ?
Gym cooling system overheated and caught on fire, during the Homecoming Parade. That and State Police had to show up two years ago after an increase of Freshman fights in the cafeteria.

Well...my High School used to have a lunch program for the elderly folks in town. One day, we had a bomb scare, and we evacuated to the far side of the parking lot. Right at that moment, three school buses full of the old folks rolled up to the front door of the school. It's decades later, and we still call it "The day the old ladies came to see the school blow up."
1976 Police tried to do an undercover operation at our upper middle class public high school. Sent undercover agents "disguised" as high school students (HA, yeah, right) to try and buy drugs. These obvious adults were dressed in someone's idea of mid-70's typical high school wear. They stood out like sore thumbs. No one wore clothes like that in real life, just in ridiculous mid 70's movies. And the cars they drove? Sorry again. We may have been in an affluent area but kids still drove their parents' hand-me-downs. They hung out in the parking lot trying to be cool. What a joke.
Nothing stands out as THE incident, but we had a student death pretty much every year. Either car accident or suicide.
When I was in highschool a kid opened their locker and a live chicken jumped out at them. I didn't personally witness it, but I found out about it because some classmates caught the chicken and brought her to me because they knew we had a chicken coop at home and could take care of the poor thing. Later on it turned out she had been stolen from another local highschool which had its own miniature farm for teaching students about agriculture and animal care, which led credence to the theory that the whole thing was a revenge prank done by someone who had been expelled from our school. (A teacher from the other school came by and collected the chicken, who was returned safely to her family, so at least she got a happy ending. I never found out if the kid responsible was caught).
I showed up to high school one day, and noticed a lot of whispering going on all around, but couldn't catch many details, just the name "Steven X". I happened to be in a class with this Steven, who wasn't there that day, or the next two. By day three, I got curious and asked a friend what was going on. Turns out, Steven had been expelled. He had broken into the teacher's lounge over the weekend to raid their fridge for some reason...and then, for some further reason, decided to use a hot dog bun he found there to pleasure himself on their couch. Cue the janitor making the rounds.....
My HS had the Senior Curse. For more than fifty years, at least on Senior died. My class looked like it would break the curse, but two or three months before graduation one girl vanished without a trace. We walked, had the whole memorial thing, very sad, and went on with our summer. Toward the end of summer the county fair came to town and with it...the missing girl. Turns out she hooked up with a carny, got pregnant and ran off to be with him. Apparently they got married? I'm not clear on the details. To be clear, she came from a well off upper middle class family and now she travels the country and runs carnival rides. So...good for her, I guess, as long as she'd happy.

Well...my High School used to have a lunch program for the elderly folks in town. One day, we had a bomb scare, and we evacuated to the far side of the parking lot. Right at that moment, three school buses full of the old folks rolled up to the front door of the school. It's decades later, and we still call it "The day the old ladies came to see the school blow up."
1976 Police tried to do an undercover operation at our upper middle class public high school. Sent undercover agents "disguised" as high school students (HA, yeah, right) to try and buy drugs. These obvious adults were dressed in someone's idea of mid-70's typical high school wear. They stood out like sore thumbs. No one wore clothes like that in real life, just in ridiculous mid 70's movies. And the cars they drove? Sorry again. We may have been in an affluent area but kids still drove their parents' hand-me-downs. They hung out in the parking lot trying to be cool. What a joke.
Nothing stands out as THE incident, but we had a student death pretty much every year. Either car accident or suicide.
When I was in highschool a kid opened their locker and a live chicken jumped out at them. I didn't personally witness it, but I found out about it because some classmates caught the chicken and brought her to me because they knew we had a chicken coop at home and could take care of the poor thing. Later on it turned out she had been stolen from another local highschool which had its own miniature farm for teaching students about agriculture and animal care, which led credence to the theory that the whole thing was a revenge prank done by someone who had been expelled from our school. (A teacher from the other school came by and collected the chicken, who was returned safely to her family, so at least she got a happy ending. I never found out if the kid responsible was caught).
I showed up to high school one day, and noticed a lot of whispering going on all around, but couldn't catch many details, just the name "Steven X". I happened to be in a class with this Steven, who wasn't there that day, or the next two. By day three, I got curious and asked a friend what was going on. Turns out, Steven had been expelled. He had broken into the teacher's lounge over the weekend to raid their fridge for some reason...and then, for some further reason, decided to use a hot dog bun he found there to pleasure himself on their couch. Cue the janitor making the rounds.....
My HS had the Senior Curse. For more than fifty years, at least on Senior died. My class looked like it would break the curse, but two or three months before graduation one girl vanished without a trace. We walked, had the whole memorial thing, very sad, and went on with our summer. Toward the end of summer the county fair came to town and with it...the missing girl. Turns out she hooked up with a carny, got pregnant and ran off to be with him. Apparently they got married? I'm not clear on the details. To be clear, she came from a well off upper middle class family and now she travels the country and runs carnival rides. So...good for her, I guess, as long as she'd happy.
