From Hilarious To Utterly Chilling, 30 People Share What “The Incident” At Their School Was
If you can remember your high school years vividly, it's most likely that besides jocks, raging parties and short-lived crushes, you also remember incidents that stuck in your mind like chewing gum under a school desk.
From flushing down a cherry bomb in the girls' toilet to someone going into fisticuffs with the principal, there are legends that are still being hush-hushed inside your former classrooms. And so, when someone asked the good people of the internet to share their iconic school stories on r/AskReddit - wild, hormone-fueled tales spilled like fruit punch on a sweaty prom night.

Someone brought their capybara to school and it ended up becoming class president.
Ah, high school - a time of adolescent rebellion, raging hormones, and, of course, larger-than-life tales that transcend time. From the timeless "Water Balloon Wars" that left the school grounds drenched in hilarity to the audacious infiltration of the principal's office during the "Great Toilet Paper Caper," it's no wonder why so many TV shows, starting from 'The Simpsons' going to 'Community,' try to tap themselves into teenage mythology.
But what is it about this period of our lives that seems to hold more weight than any other and stick in our minds like gum on a shoe? There are those who swear that high school was the absolute best time of their lives, reminiscing about those "good old days" and all. Maybe they're onto something. Perhaps it's just rose-tinted glasses.

In the 5th grade, our P.E. teacher had our class hula hoop for physical activity. Two girls in the class ended up hula hooping the entire 45 minutes - 1 hour of the class without stopping. Our teacher decided that it would be fun to see how long these two girls could go.
By the end of the school day, one girl was still going and had not stopped. Our teacher then got the wild idea that this girl should keep going to try breaking the world record. The students parent’s were called and they gave her permission to make the attempt. Someone looked up the rules of Guinness World Records and discovered that you can take a few minutes break every hour.
The local news was called and they filmed this poor girl hula hooping her heart out. She finally gave up around 12:30am. This took place in the late 1980’s in Roswell, GA. at Mimosa elementary.
The same year, the same P.E. teacher taught our class to juggle. Within 3 months, she started a juggling club in which I was a member. We eventually had a choreographed routine, with music, printed ‘Mimosa Jugglers’ tee-shirts and began performing our routine at other local elementary schools. It was weird but actually pretty fun at the time. We juggled balls, rings and plastic bowling pins. I ended up discovering that I could juggle 3 apples while taking a bite out of one - it was a crowd pleaser lol.
Apparently, as we age, our memories tend to play tricks on us and thus we become nostalgic. And one of those tricks is the tendency to look back fondly on our teenage years. If you're wondering why, we can blame it on a psychological phenomenon better known as the "reminiscence bump."
The reminiscence bump, then, refers to the phenomenon where our memories of events that occurred between the ages of 10 and 30 are particularly vivid and well-preserved. These are the years when we go through significant life transitions and experience a lot of "firsts" – first love, first job, first taste of independence. And guess what? High school falls right smack dab in the middle of that period. Not because it rocks and you rarely get to experience things as impactful as they were in high school, but because strong emotions tend to create stronger memories.

In high school Two kids both named Logan
Both last names were very similar
One was popular and the other was not
Unpopular Logan was drunk and ran across a road in the middle of the night and was k**led by a semi-truck
The next day the principal announced that popular Logan had died
Popular Logan was late for school.
Everyone was very sad
Then popular Logan showed up and all school rejoiced that unpopular Logan was the one who died
Was f****d up

This is pretty tame but funny. We had a music teacher who absolutely doused herself in perfume. It was like a cloud all around her all day, every day. You could pretty much smell her before you saw her.
We had music after lunch so a few were in the room to k**l the remaining 10 mins of lunch. One girl went through her desk and found her perfume and sprayed it once laughing that she was Mrs X.
Few minutes later Mrs X walks in, sniffs and starts looking around and we all think we are in trouble because she must know we were in the drawers.
She then proceeds to tell the girls that they shouldn't wear such cheap, nasty perfume because now her room stinks of cheap perfume. Never tried harder to stifle a laugh in my life.

A group of kids threw a desk out the 3rd story window. The desk crashed onto a girl's head and broke her neck. Fortunately she lived.
In a way, it's like peering through a magnifying glass at a time when our emotions and hormones were running wild, making us behave like little anarchists. Then the reminiscence bump kicks in, making those memories stand out in our minds like a highlight reel of our youth, filled with nostalgia, laughter, and facepalm-worthy moments.

A sophomore (my classmate) dropped unconscious in gym class and was rushed to the hospital. 3 days later they took him off life support and he died from a brain aneurysm.
Edit to add: his funeral was held in the high school gym and damn near everyone went. Never in my life did I think I’d attend a funeral AT school.

Yeah, the middle school I went to has had two kids drop dead on campus. I mean, they were both punched first, and the incidents were almost 20 years apart, but it's unsettling that it's happened twice.

Coolest guy in school was an amazing guitarist, really good at finger picking, super lovely, talked to everyone, even the teachers loved him. He was in my homeroom (Australian Highschool) he was older but he used to let me sit near him sometimes. One weekend he went out with some friends to play with fire crackers (fire crackers are super illegal here because of the Bush fire risk) anyway, the guy BLEW ALL OF HIS FINGERS ON BOTH HANDS OFF.....
He didn't come back to school for a few months, and then one day he came back, sat in the corner with a hoodie over his face and his hands buried deep in his pockets. Never spoke to anyone again. Couldnt play guitar- couldn't even open a door. So f*****g sad. We were all so sad for him.

My highschool went on lockdown because my mother was going through a manic episode, thought I was the second coming of Jesus, and said she was going to save me.
I honestly never lived it down.

Your poor mother. I bet she apologized a 1000 times once she was in the clear again. But yeah, that must have been quite a sight for your school. Sorry dear.
But then there's also an evolutionary aspect to this only a few take into consideration. "It was during this time that we got sorted out in the status hierarchy of our tribe, and this ultimately determined who we could mate with and who we must defer to for the rest of our lives in this group," Frank McAndrew, an evolutionary social psychologist, told Bored Panda in an email.
And those strong emotions we experience during our time in high school, be it a blessing or a curse? "[They] ensure that we remember important information about other people like who we can trust and who we cannot trust. Our propensity for holding grudges prevents us from being victimized by the same people over and over again."

We had so many pregnant teen girls that they had their own gym class.
A friend of mine who had a fake leg— he had a solid metal rod from mid thigh to mid calf from childhood leukemia so he couldn’t bend at the knee, was in the same class. Just this one poor guy and 30 pregnant 16 year olds.
**Edit: I never imagined there would be so many upvotes & questions.**
I was a teenager in the late 90s and grew up in the southeastern United States. It was a suburban area where a ton of people (still) identify as Evangelical Christians, it’s also called the Bible Belt. The required sex education classes didn’t teach anything but “Just Say No” so there were girls who thought jumping up and down would prevent pregnancy. Not kidding. These were really sheltered girls who would attend Purity Dances, so it was quite a scandal that so many were pregnant at the same time. Most of the baby daddies were just dumb teenage boys who didn’t know the facts of life.
Remember that there was no internet at this point so it’s not like teens could get information on their own *especially* if they were from a super religious background. A girl on my street was “sent away” to live with an aunt when she got pregnant.
Also, the pregnant girl gym class was technically for the physically disabled kids, hence why my friend was the lone guy in the class.
His leg, from what he explained to me, had cancer in the bones of his knee. They didn’t want to amputate his whole leg so they removed the knee and grafted a rod in place— this would have been back in the late 80s so I’m sure they do stuff differently now.

We had off campus lunch. You could go anywhere around as long as you were back in 45 minutes. It had been tradition for the school's entire 60+ years. The entire mile or so surrounding the school had tons of small carryout restaurants.
My senior year, a girl snuck out of her middle school to come meet her freshman boyfriend. She stopped at one of the restaurants for ice cream. Left the restaurant and stepped off the curb into the highway, directly into the side of an 18wheeler.
60 years of off campus lunch around that highway and that was the first serious accident. School banned leaving campus within days. The local businesses tried to come up with a compromise, I know they talked about shuttle service, walkway bridge over the intersection. School refused to even discuss it. We lodged protests, walk outs. Nothing. One life lost is too many is what they kept saying.
Within a few years almost all of those restaurants were closed and sat empty. The whole area around the school looked like a ghost town. Which became the place to go for drugs. Four years after I graduated, fifteen kids OD'd. Five years and I think the number was closer to 50.
All because of one girl.

No, all because of how the school reacted to an accident. Don't blame the girl.

a girl had an epilepsy attack and she lost control of her bowels. Not a pretty sight.
Mean girls type made fun of her, and she transferred to another high school.
According to Alejandra Scherman, an Assistant Professor at the Center on Autobiographical Memory Research at Aarhus University in Denmark, the reminiscence bump is greatly influenced by what psychologists call the "cultural life script." This refers to the societal norms and expectations regarding the sequence and timing of life events that are considered typical.
Because of a cultural fascination with the teenage years, teenagers are more mentally primed to pay extra attention to the experiences unfolding around them than ever before. "I think that any cultural obsession with being a teenager springs from our subtle recognition of how important those years are," McAndrew said. "In other words, our obsession with the teen years is a symptom, not a cause of their importance."

Which one do you want? Our senior T shirts were literally “the incident” from each year.
Freshman: Older HS kids are having a party near the end of the school year, get busted, one tries to run from the cops and crashes into the electrical transformer in front of the school giving everyone 2 days off.
Sophomore: Some moron stole 3 mercury thermometers from a science class and decided it would be fun to smash them in the gym during a passing period. School was evacuated and the gym was closed for a week.
Junior: Someone made a bomb threat against the school. The police said they had it covered and kids wouldn’t be in danger. Only about half the school showed up anyway. It was a very odd day.
Senior: Kid brought a gun to school to show his friend. Others kids saw it and by the time I arrived (free period first period so I didn’t have to come to school until period 2 senior year) the school was surrounded by police officers and news copters and I was yelled at to “go home”. School was locked down all day as they went room to room searching. My old Spanish teacher actually thought the cops were the active shooter and tackled one as he came into the room. He ended up with a giant lump on his head, but he was a hero to us all after that.

Had a shooter threat in 6th grade, teachers were told about 10 minutes before buses started unloading. They rushed us all into one room, freaked a ton of kids out. When they started to bring kids down the hallway, all of a sudden the teacher was yelling at the kids to turn around. We all thought someone had made it into the building. When we were given the clear, 3 kids had panic attacks and nearly 600 kids were brought out of school. The teacher still gave us a math test not even 15 minutes after everyone was calling their parents assuring them that they were okay. I hated that school year.

We had the states (probably all of the US) largest sting operation in our school. It began with a “senior” who looked 25 started at the school. He wouldn’t date any girls, had horrible grades, and missed a lot of school. This under cover cop was trying to buy drugs in school property. He was there for several months, one day we were all sitting in class and in the class next to us a few cops plus the principal started pulling students out of classes and arresting them. Turns out something like 20+ kids were arrested plus some parents in the whole operation. Made the front page of the AJC with photos and everything.
He had like a 7 in math class, and when the teacher would call his parents to discuss his grades they’d get a separate line to what ever police office was acting like a parent. Apparently he was told to start trying more in class.
Pretty funny for those not involved.

One of the guys at our High School thought it would be funny to pretend he had died in a car accident on a specific date (I've forgotten it now), so he didn't show up for class ~ had friends spread rumors right at the beginning of the day about it ~ People were grieving because he was apart of the popular group, and just well known all around.
So he walks in near the middle of the day smiling and laughing, people were shocked but amused (Don't ask me why...).
A year later, exactly a year later... on the day - he dies in a car wreck due to him and three others crossing the boarder between states to get drugs - the girl driving tried to swerve due to a armadillo.
Out of the four people he was the only one to die. People thought it was him trying to pull the same joke that year around, but no.
Why it's easy to speculate why TV shows like to romanticize our teen years, rather than, let's say, college - "high school dramas are more relatable to the public due to the fact that many more people experienced high school compared to college," writes Deja Heard of Tuc magazine. Chris Ferguson, a professor and co-chair of psychology at Stetson University in Florida, believes our mind brings us back to high school hallways because it's a particularly important period in our lives - whether you come from a rich area or live on the wrong side of tracks.
"It's an odd cultural state in modern cultures, mixing elements of both childhood and adulthood," Ferguson told Bored Panda. "Particularly for high-status youth with stable families, this can make this period particularly 'fun' and memorable. Obviously, lower-status youth or those with difficult environments might look back on the period with less fondness."

So this was like 15-16 years ago. Our school used to have a fun little rivalry activity during homecoming week. We had three school colors: red, white, and black. On the day of the homecoming assembly, each grade year was assigned one of the colors, and whichever grade has the most participation would be the winner. (Sophomores wore red, Juniors wore white, and Seniors wore black.) People would get VERY into it - dying their hair, making signs, trying to bribe teachers onto their teams, etc. It was honestly a lot of stupid fun in a slightly more innocent/ignorant time. Things that would appear to be an obvious problem today (blackface, anyone?) were not really in our Wonderbread Midwestern zeitgeist. Of course, the year after I graduated, it went too far.
Most years, the seniors would win this little competition, and the juniors would be grumpy about it. Anticipating this, a few idiot juniors thought it would be funny to show their disdain by dressing up in white with KKK hoods, with a fake lynched black 'senior' dangling from a pole...
Yeah. Bad time.
Last I heard, the kids were suspended, the principal voluntarily retired in response to the backlash, and I'm pretty sure that little tradition has been dead ever since...

The female assistant principal lifted the skirts of girls attending a dance to make sure the students were not wearing thong underwear.

One of our japanese teachers got stabbed in the back by a South Korean exchange student. Apparently he'd said some pretty insensitive things about North vs South Korea and the next day the student came to school with a knife. Teacher was ok. Kid was jailed for 18 months.

@adhortator if you're talking about the Japanese invasion of Korea, that's actually very serious because there were literal war crimes, rape, murder of citizens, tho i probably misunderstood spectacularly
Then again, after all is said and done, it all boils down to nostalgia, doesn't it? "Yes, we do often romanticize the past," McAndrew agreed, warning that we often "delude ourselves that the past was great and that the future might also be great keeps us from striving."

S**t bandit. He would s**t in lockers and teachers desks and leave the note "If my demands are not met, the S**t bandit will strike again", there were never any demands.

1982, rural Indiana.
Someone went into the bathroom, lit a cigarette, and stuck the fuse from a quarterstick/m80 in the other end. Destroyed one toilet and a section of the wall.
State police bomb squad called in. Explosive trained dogs. Even FBI.
I was one of those questioned as I was the typical stoner loser burnout kid.
I know who did it. It was one of the 'pretty people' as they were called back then. He even kinda confirmed it while drunk at our 30th reunion.

So back in the early 80s a kid at our schools older brother disappeared. The cops searched the neighbourhood and went door to door trying to find out what happened to him. Spoke to every kid in school in case they knew anything. Wasn't long before he was discovered ro have been the victim of a serial.k**ler. he was only 16.
We all know that one guy or gal who likes to start their sentences with the "Wasn't it great when..." It's fun to reminisce for a bit, sure. But some people seem to be stuck in their high school years, unable to believe that the present or even future can be no less exciting than sneaking out of Chemistry 101 to play 'GoldenEye' on a classmate's Nintendo 64.
"There's nothing wrong with reminiscing about the past so long as it's pleasant, and doesn't detract from enjoying the present or looking forward to the future," Ferguson explained. "If someone is feeling like they 'peaked' in high school, or they've got nothing to enjoy or look forward to in the present/future - that could be an indication of other problems that might be worthy of some attention."

Suícide. Come on, we can face the truth of the word and not hide from it. The word is "suícide". We should not be ashamed or afraid of the word. Hiding and shaming and making even the word itself taboo is what results in people not reaching out when they need help. If any of my fellow Pandas have suícidal thoughts, you are not alone, and you are not unworthy or useless. You are not hated and shunned, you are loved, at least by me, if not others. If you need an ear, my email and my IG are on my bio. I have been where you are standing now, and I can offer a hand (well, a paw) to help you step back, if you need it.

My high school in Australia had agricultural learning so we had livestock at the far end of the oval and some facilities. In the 90s someone broke into the school and slaughtered all of the animals (ALL of them) and drew pentagrams and swastikas in blood all over the school. Pretty historical event for that school!

There were several, all involving the sophomores when I was a senior. Like, there was something seriously wrong with the class of 2008.
Some highlights:
One kid started printing $20 bills from his dad's office. Apparently he was good at it as the Secret Service paid him a visit.
Multiple incidents of alcohol on campus. My class wasn't innocent in this, we all at one time passed around a bottle of spiked Gatorade. But these kids drank to such excess that they had to be hospitalized. It got to the point where the school banned all water bottles and drinks from home.
And finally, the great thermometer incident of 2006. Basically a group of sophomores broke open an old glass thermometer and played with the mercury inside. They did this in the cafeteria before first bell. So around 2nd period an announcement is made telling everyone who was in the caf before first bell to report to the auditorium immediately. A third of the school shows up, myself included. They then proceed to lock us in and inform us we have to wait to be cleared by a hazmat team. That hazmat team took their sweet f*****g time getting there and we didn't leave the school until 6-7pm. Those of us with jobs basically lost a day's pay. It's been 17 years, and I still wanna throat punch the three stooges who did that.
Edit: I forgot to add, around 2-3pm some rumor started that Hazmat had arrived and was ready to start checking students. this led to hundreds of kids gathering around the stage of the auditorium. A crowd crush almost occurred. One kid was wheeled off on a stretcher with thankfully minor injuries. All of this because some idiot wanted to play with mercury

Time sure changes things! In my Highschool days (1963-67) the Science, and later, Chemistry teachers , had bottles (flasks, I guess) of mercury, and we could pour some out into a bowl and do experiments with it. Floating iron, covering pennies, reflecting light, all sorts of neat stuff. Nobody ever had a problem with that.

Married male teacher in his late-30s having an affair with a senior female student. Fairly ordinary. They didn’t hide it though, we used to see them smooching all the time.
Rumour says he lost his job over it and then followed her to another city when she left for university. She then dumped him for a boy her own age.
Huddo's sister 1 year ago
It's not an affair, even if the student was 18, it's predatory. He should have been in jail not just fired. Obviously I don't know where and when this was, but in Australia, for the last 20+ years a teacher would be charged (hopefully jailed) and de-registered as a teacher. Is it really still common for teachers to just be moved onto another school in some places? It was bad when priests were treated the same way in the past and it's bad when teachers are too.

Senior prank, someone dumped a few hundred pounds of flour and yeast into the school indoor pool, in hopes of turning it into a giant glob of dough (I guess). It didn’t work, just caused about 100K damage to plumbing, pumps, filters, etc. Prankster never caught.

This was a re-occuring prank in an Antwerp food college (higher level cooking, bakery, hotel, butchers...) When warmer weathers starts in May, they would flush an amount of yeast into the toilet, causing the ceptic overflow tank to, well, overflow... the lid being in the middle of the inner court of the school.

Pretty tame compared to some of the other stuff here, but my school at one point decided to crack down on anyone who had ever connected to the TOR Network from the school wifi (including on personal devices). Over the course of a day or two, around 200 students were informed that they were banned from using all electronic devices (including those required for class work) while in school for a semester.
I remember walking into a programming class and the teacher asking anyone who still had computer access to raise their hand. None did.

Yeah, it was all the rave at that time when everyone was hopelessly addicted to facebook. It was banned on school computers, so they used it to bypass it (at that time, I was the weird kid and the only one without facebook). I found it kinda funny, having a browser which can access the Darknet and using it for stupid facebook.

One of the science teachers thought having a class project around creating mini rockets would be a fun little activity. Well unfortunately he didn’t notify the school where or when they were going to test these. So the school goes into lockdown because of the explosions. Him and his class get locked out of the school. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told. Wasn’t actually in that class

That night her friends all came and graffitied "SHOW MERCY, FREE (girls name)" on all the ground floor windows - A couple of seniors stole a bunch of candy and Christmas cards meant for the freshmen and they called our whole senior class into the auditorium to lecture us - every year we would have a massive month longfundraiser for the school and to get everyone hyped up, the student council held a massive pep rally including skits and music and stuff. During my senior year our class reps did a Mario Kart themed skit that ended with one girl namedropping a freshman that she didn't like and making fun of her.

I have quite a few stories but I'll start with a big one from this year (my senior year). In the Statistics classes the teachers had the students make up their own surveys to gather stats on certain topics. So the students sent out emails with Google forms attached. Because it was Stat, there were various ways students were chosen to be on the email list of the surveys. So sometimes it was random, and students on the list would be confused because they didn't take Stat. So it started with a student asking to be taken off the email list (which was pointless because it was only meant to be one email and could be ignored) and that made a bunch of people reply to the email also asking to be taken off. But most people who replied had hit "reply all" so you can see where this is going
Jules 1 year ago
Anyway it ended up with that email chain having so many replies that Google took action and flagged he email list as spam which in turn triggered some security thing the school had set up (every student gets an email/Google account issued by the school which is monitored). So anyone who replied to that email chain had their account automatically suspended and couldn't access anything, like ANYTHING. To undo the suspension the students had to go to the tech office which meant the tech office was swarmed with people trying to get their accounts reinstated. This ended up being such a dilemma that the Stat teachers decided to postpone the project and then we (at least my class) never actually got back to it because of the worry that the email chain of spam would happen again.

Last year a kid got pushed down the stairs, he hit the fire alarm, and it went off. The entire school evacuated, it was cold out, but it was early enough in the morning that a lot of people still had coats, and we just waited out there for a while. I saw the kid who got pushed, and I knew him, we're both in orchestra, and he had a bloody nose but failed to mention that he was PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS. After we went back inside, the school played We Didn't Start The Fire over the loudspeakers, and the kids who pushed him got expelled.

Last year a kid got pushed down the stairs, he hit the fire alarm, and it went off. The entire school evacuated, it was cold out, but it was early enough in the morning that a lot of people still had coats, and we just waited out there for a while. I saw the kid who got pushed, and I knew him, we're both in orchestra, and he had a bloody nose but failed to mention that he was PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
