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. 

RELATED:

    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.

    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 don't get why teachers do this. We all have different paces of working!

    Kids don't realize that school don't legally have authority on them. Parents solely have. That school is not a prison, they are free to leave whenever they want, and that forcing anyone to stay somewhere against their will is unlawful imprisonment.

    Is doing nothing in detention common in many places? Only time I was sent to detention (in France) was for skipping German class and they had us take a super difficult German test and convinced us it would count towards our grade. Then they revealed it was basically a university level test and that we couldn't have possibly completed it and it would never count.

    I had a gf like that, she was mad at me without me knowing what happened. So after a few hours of begging her to tell me what's wrong she told me that she dreamt that I was cheating on her or that she thought about asking me something but then thought about it and thought that I probably will give a negative answer so she got pissed.

    I got in trouble for laughing because a kid made a funny face. I laugh at almost everything (it's gotten me into a few awkward situations but I can't help it)

    I think that is the refrain of my autistic childhood. Most of the time I had no idea what was right or wrong, and it seemed like at home or at school, if someone was angry with me, I didn't know why (unless I was rescuing worms). And then if I said, "I don't know what I did wrong," they would get angrier like I was now deliberately lying!

    Power trip. She wanted to make something miserable because she had the power to do so. "You know what you did," is really a double enforcement on how bad you are without having to get their hands dirty. It's classic in abuse situations. I'm sorry.

    My mom used to pull that "you know what you did" sh*t. I never knew what I did. I figured I was guilty of just existing.

    Maybe she was hoping you would tell her what you did! She was already all in...she had to get her story straight

    Not saying that you aren't neuro typical, just that it happens a lot to them too

    OP's teacher was a manipulative jerk. Saying "you know what you did" means s/he didn't know and was abusing her/his authority. This is kind of how torture works.

    "You know what you did". I've heard this said in many venues and the person replies, "I don't know" and the reply "You do too." No, no they don't. Tell them and let them know why it made you so angry. It may be something they had no idea didn't compute the way they meant it too. I've had way too many people come to me because some one hurt their feelings and the story sounds like a misunderstanding. They are positive it was meant to hurt.

    i had a teacher who'd do s**t like this. she picked on me for no reason. once during an art project, despite my work being almost identical to the girl across from me, who she praised like she was god herself, she told me my work was awful, messy and i wasn't following the assignment. literally couldn't tell the difference between our work. i actually swapped paintings with her later, teacher didn't notice, ridiculed me, praised her.

    Folks who use that are hoping you'll offer something. It's phishing and it's weak AF.

    Oh, how many times had I had that ... I even had two classmates who'd eventually team up against others, multiple others, and snitch out things that didn't happen, but as there was a witness, ... "DC kicked my balls!" - "Yeah, sure he did saw it!" - after they did this a few times, and I already had been punishment material since day one, I got found guilty even more often just for one asshöle saying I did something that wouldn't leave any tracks, but was bad enough to get punished. And all those were weighed in whenever my guilt was questionable, of course, against me...

    WHY!? PUNISH THE IDIOT NOT THE VICTIM! If someone breaks into your house, and they shoot you, but you shoot him back, you are not gonna punish the victim! Schools just want "zero violence" which does not make sense.

    Sure...I don't doubt that they could read but I'm pretty sure they don't kick kids out of preschool for being able to read. My son didn't get kicked out of his preschool for being able to read.

    I would finish assignments early and do something else but my math teacher would make me follow along with the assignment anyway
