35 Ridiculous Reasons Kids Were Punished At School, As Shared By People On Twitter

At one point or another, most of us have probably gotten ourselves into trouble at school once or twice. Getting sent to the principal’s office, having your parents come down to school to talk with the teachers, etc. is not necessarily the best experience when you’re a kid. In fact, it is typically quite terrifying for most. But you do have to do something extra silly or irresponsible to even get to that point most of the time.

These people took to Twitter to share their stories of getting into trouble at school… for ridiculously silly reasons. From sparing lab frogs’ lives to getting detention for chilling at detention without having been sent to detention, here are 39 scenarios where people got into trouble at school because of something very silly. Scroll down to see the whole list and consider upvoting the entries that crack you up the most!

For a lot of kids, school would eventually become kind of boring and repetitive. So it is no wonder why they constantly come up with ways to annoy each other or their teachers. Small acts of rebellion or silly stunts against the establishment that is school are not even necessarily bad as long as there is balance between acting up and being educated.

There is always at least one teacher at school who will seemingly go out of their way to scold or punish students for doing barely anything. But that doesn’t only count for school. That could also be your family member or your boss. So in a way, school does somewhat prepare you for life and dealing with real people outside one's safe bubble.

Not all of them! I went to a catholic convent school and the nuns preached love for all and actually enforced it, they kicked a teacher out for being homophobic and were lovely to me despite knowing I was gay (although I later realised I was bi). Unfortunately my experience seems to be in the minority.

Religious indoctrination at young ages causes people to feel guilty if as they grow up. If you are being told that gay is bad, the devils work, and gays you will burn in hell and then it turns out as you become sexually active if you are attracted to the same sex, you will feel very guilty. Even heterosexual sex before being united in the eyes of God will cause you to burn in hell. If you masturbate, you will burn in hell. So many people feel afraid of their sexual desire because it is the work of the devil. God will send them to burn in the eternal flame, so they turn to religion to purge themselves. That probably why there are some many perverts and sexual deviants in the church, because they can’t channel their sexuality in natural ways.

I don't know, the way I was taught was that God made sexual desire, and that it was good and holy as long as it was used in proper ways (like between two consenting adults, for example).

Any time I ever ask why God does or let's bad things happen, the explanation is always 'suffering breeds compassion.' If that's true, the world should be filled to the brim with love and compassion by now. How many infants and children have to die of incurable, painful, soul sucking diseases for people to be more empathetic?

I always hate that answer! God also doesn't do things to 'test us'. The point is God has given us free will and it would not be free will if he controlled whether disasters and things happened to us. Things happen because of a combination of consequences and randomness. It's how we deal with them that is important. God wouldn't punish us for succumbing to the hand we are dealt though.

All in all, school is a place where people get ready for some important aspects of their lives. But a part of the learning process - the rebellion, the occasional prank, should not be met with complete shutdown and resistance. Instead, teachers should focus on educating their students, not pointing fingers at them for obscure reasons and calling it a day.

I had been living overseas with my family for a year and returned to my original school ¾ of the year in. On my first day back, I got into trouble for not doing the homework assignment; when I politely told the teacher that this was my first day back, she didn't believe me, and asked me if I was "up to my old tricks again" to which I truthfully replied "No." I was sent to the headmaster's office, very upset... That stupid teacher hadn't even noticed that I hadn't been around for the last 9 months of the school year.

I once told my class that the world was not a perfect sphere but more like this-and then squished a dodgeball a little to show the bulge in the center. The next day a student came back and yelled at me that the world wasn't flat and that she and her mom had "looked it up." A few years later she was online talking about how she proved to her teacher that the world wasn't flat. She is why I have trust issues with posts like this.

been there... same thing... once in 8th grade and once in college... yes college. I literally had a college teacher (went to a small private college) who moved me from the back of the class to the front so she could see what I was doing on paper and would fuss at me for drawing in the margins of my notes. I didn't stop, and I made A's, so she could bite me for all I care. I was later diagnosed as ADD as an adult, which, back then, they didn't realize could be so different between boys and girls (boys acted out more, girls spaced out more).

Back in fifth grade, I got really frustrated when playing softball in gym class and threw down the bat after striking out. Our gym teacher was a strict, stereotypical manly looking, macho woman with no patience for this type of thing and I have Asperger-like symptoms (and most likely have it) I was immediately ordered to stand in time out but I was tired and sat down--and was given a detention. (I was a good student and never got a detention before) I immediately stood up but to no avail. Still got detention. So I spat in her face. (Also something I've never done before) Hey, I was getting detention anyway. I still don't regret that. Also, at detention, I brought some things with me to keep busy, like a book because I didn't understand the concept of lunch detention.

Every day in 5th grade we got 15 min out of an hour to do some prework on our homework, so we could ask questions if we didn't understand it. At some point in these 15 min my teacher came over to check how my homework was coming along, because I never asked questions. He saw I was already miles ahead of my fellow classmates (about 3 chapters in math ahead). He took my homework I already finished and litterally teared it apart and said I had to start over and to get to the point every classmate was and not work upfront. The day after this incident our homework we had to do was checked and I got detention because my homework wasn't done on time (I couldn't finish 25 chapters in 1 night).

Purple smoke. They claimed I was trying to blow up the chem lab (HS). No, I was just experimenting. Purple smoke is what you get if you add turpentine to iodine crystals. One of the few times my Dad stood up for me: I was reading "All Creatures Great & Small" and Dr. Herriot used this concoction to cleanse a horse's hoof. Now, in the book he cites using a "pinch" of iodine crystals & a dropper of turpentine. I used about 3 cups of iodine crystals and about a quart of turpentine. Yeah - Purple Smoke ensued & I almost got expelled. It took an entire weekend to get the film off the walls & ceiling. So now we use this phrase in the family for something planned that has gone terribly awry.

The one and only time I ever skipped school was because I found an injured duck by the side of the road. Actually, I wasn't sure what it was at first, passed it, and went on to school. Went to first period, but couldn't stop thinking about the pile of feathers I had seen. I cut class and went back to check. Found that it was still alive, bloodied up like it had been hit by a car, and 100% wild. Wrapped it up in my coat because it was cold and there was snow everywhere, brought it home and smuggled in into our basement. I then promptly called my mom and told her what happened. She understood and let me keep the duck for a few weeks until it got better. The school also gave students about 3 tardies before it became an issue, and since I hadn't used any yet, it didn't really matter much anyway.

I was ahead on our reading assignment so during class I brought in a different book and read that instead. Well my teacher wasn't happy about it and took my book from me until after class. Well this happened three days in a row however....on the third day I happened to stop by the library and get the same book so when she took mine....I pulled out the libraries copy. Yup you guessed it, got sent to the principals office. She didn't even give me back my book to read while I waited in the office!

I got a three day suspension, in fifth grade, when I snapped on the local bully, after he'd spent a week tormenting me. Kicked his books out of his hands (was aiming between the goalposts, but he jumped back), kicked him in the stomach (got him good with that one though, again, missed my target), was setting up to kick him in the ribs while he was on hands and knees heaving for air, when a teacher pulled me away. Bully got a week's suspension, I got three days.

Prinicipal & I sat staring at each other - guess he thought I was going to be in trouble. Mom got there, thinking I was hurt or had an accident. He told her the shirt was unacceptable. She told me to go to class, did not make me change my shirt. As I’m walking down the hall I hear her yell, “YOU STOPPED MY DAUGHTER’S EDUCATION BECAUSE OF A SHIRT?!!” I didn’t hear the rest of the words, but I heard her all the way back to my class. Thanks, mom!

I was in 6th grade (12 years old) wearing a t-shirt that had a pic of the band members of Guns N Roses on it, and Slash was wearing a t-shirt that said Sh!t Happens. But the "I" was covered by his necklace so the full word wasn't there. I got sent to the principal for wearing a shirt w obscene language on it. My principal was 5'10" at the most, my Dad is 6'6". Guess who didn't get in trouble at home, had her suspension retracted, and who was also allowed to wear a t-shirt that had Bart Simpson on it saying, War is Hell, the next day without getting in trouble lol

I "borrowed" my uncle's white cowboy hat in HS, wore it slung down my back as I went to classes. During lunch study hall in the auditorium, I put it on. Teacher proctor in the balcony gave me detention for "distraction". I was mad, cause a classmate had on a neon pink & yellow Mondrian mini dress with matching beanie all day, and I was in study hall.

In third grade in gym I threw a dodgeball at a kid who was already out because I didn't see him get hit. Teacher got overly mad at me and forced me to sit out. I tried explaining I didn't see him get hit. Teacher kept saying "you're lying" over and over until I quit

My sister got in trouble once for telling her teacher he has spelled Assess wrong. He argued and said that he was right and there were supposed to be a double s in the middle of the word. She went back and forth with him for a while before she finally caved and said "Yes. You're right there is a double s in the middle. That doesn't change the fact that you just wrote Asses on the board." She got detention separately for cursing and arguing with him.

I've always had really bad anxiety and once in 7th grade my math teacher called on me to get up and solve a problem at the chalkboard, well I looked around at the entire class staring at me and had a panic attack, the teacher sent me to the principals office for "faking a fit to get out of classwork"

We had English class (foreign language) and kids were going wild screaming and shouting. Teacher couldn't maintain herself. She told me (1st row in front of her) to start reading from my book. I keep reading amidst chaos. Suddenly she starts screaming and turns to me and says "I told you to read, and you are playing mute" to which I told her that if she can't maintain order in class it's her problem, not mine. She took me to the principal's office and next day she apologized to me

Oh ho ho have I got a fun story for you. We’re outside at break and because the majority of the school was homophobic, i of course being me brought in a big rainbow flag. I got a lot of comments but one student kept coming up to me and asking to see my flag, obviously in a mocking way. He then tries to grab it off me, and punches me in the stomach. I punch him in the face and his glasses break, he runs away (with my flag) and throws it in the bin. The school got the police and I now have ‘assault’ on my record.

When I was about 6 or 7 I got in trouble for being too good at reading - I was reading The Hobbit by myself at home and didn't see why I had to 'read' glorified picture books at school. I would perhaps have benefitted from learning about being tactful when criticising!

We had this one guy he fought the English teacher like all the time (retrospectively all female teachers, but only she fought back) he was sent to principal like almost weekly. It went this far that they started with 5 min fights, and it ended with him saying 1 word or making 1 hand gesture and he had to go. They even wrote in his school certificate his disrespect against women. Which basically was a lowblow to find an apprenticeship or work later. But he had it coming. Alot was his upbringing, so I would say he was not 100% at fault, but he should have learned and adapted.

Girl tried to turn off my computer, becasue I guess talking to the girl next to me about school work was pissing her off? I blocked the power button, and she proceeded to twist my wrist, and I did NOT fight back, becasue I know the school system im in. I reported her, and guess what. I still. got. lunch detention. Same as her.

Another time I got in trouble for saying a classmates mother was weird. The woman was always dirty and stunk - i don't think she washed - and had a room in her house (I'd gone once for a birthday party) FILLED with old dolls. Like the real creepy possibly Chuckie type dolls that could possibly come alive and murder you. I did not enjoy that party.

One day in kindergarten I had a really bad cough so during naptime they had me sleep on a couch in another room. They didn't give me a pillow or a blanket so I was uncomfortable and cold. I got up to get some from the floor, got caught and got in trouble. Another time we had a "bring your favorite plushie to kindergarten" day and I got mine taken away for the entire day when they found out my plushie had a name. It was a red nosed reindeer plush so I had named him Petteri. FYI Rudolph is called Petteri in finnish. It was a completely innocent name. I was so sad when I had to be the only kid without a plushie the entire day.

In middle school, I got in trouble because a girl threw a wadded up piece of paper and hit me in the head. I got suspended from the bus for a few days because I got angry?? But the joke was on them because I had to stay after school for those days anyway for band practice, and my mom just had my older brother drop me off in the morning for a few extra bucks for gas (he was in high school). My mom was so pissed tho as it went on my "record." I was a damn good kid... didn't get me far tho.

i was a quiet kid in high school but still got sent to the dean for: refusing to included the 'under g-d' part of the pledge of allegience since it wasn't in the original; later refusing to say it at all after my lai massacre; staying bathroom too long when i had a period leak; telling a teacher he was rude for calling another student 'snotty'; demanding an apology from same teacher for calling me a name. btw, my family was/is military so it seemed that i was more aware of politics/the war than my peers or teachers so that also got me into trouble as i 'wasn't supposed to pay attention when i couldn't even vote yet'.

If people actually want their kids to have a good education they need to ask the Principal a few questions: (a) how many bullying incidents per semester? If the number is >1 then reject the school. (b) Do you impose any religious practices or deploy any? If the answer is "any" in any form, reject. (c) Do you allow advanced kids to learn at their own pace or do you hold them back for the dumb kids? If the answer is "hold back", reject the school. (d) Do you tolerate group punishment? If the answer is yes, reject. (e) Do you hold your teachers accountable for marks/scores? Or do you blame the kid? If the answer is "kid", reject the school. (f) Do you have specific rules about dresscode/hairstyles which are gendered or about aesthetics rather than practicality like sunburn avoidance? If so, reject. I could go on for hours. MOST schools are s**t and teach kids to be s**t and the cycle continues. Please watch "Another brick in the wall" by Pink Floyd. That is basically most schools.
