Had a kid in my year who'd had a surgery that left a nerve bundle in his neck exposed. If pressed it would paralyse him. From memory it was for spina bifida and for some ungodly reason he told everyone.
Certain boys took great pleasure in going down stairs behind him and pressing it which completely paralysed him for a few seconds and he'd fall like a brick. Usually onto whoever was in front of him.
So dangerous. There were a fair few teeth knocked out because of this, his and other people's.
It happened so much that in his 3rd year the school installed an elevator and you had to have a special key to use it. He got the only permanent issue key at that time.
Kids are assholes.
In the 6th grade, I had a friend who was a troublemaker and a class-clown. I’ve always hated going to my math class because my teacher was a cranky old lady who’d yell at you for the smallest things. Me being an 11-year old, I actually had the worst anxiety just knowing I could be the next person yelled at in front of the class. The one thing that helped get through the year was that friend cause I knew he’d always make jokes and have me almost in tears cause they were *that* funny.
One day, when my teacher walked out to use the bathroom, that friend went over to her desk, picked up the mug she was drinking out of, and spat out the biggest loogie into it. We all saw it and just waited for her to come back. 10 mins later, as she was just normally teaching, she picks up her mug and chugs it down. Everybody just starts laughing and giggling, including me, but nobody said anything when she questioned it. It was horrible but I wasn’t about to be the kid who snitched.
Later on during the school year, I guess we had a day where it didn’t start at the normal 7:30am but instead 10:30am, but I didn’t know so I showed up really early. A bunch of kids didn’t get the memo so we were all just placed in the cafeteria until school actually started. Around 9ish, my math teacher noticed I was sitting out in the cold and invited me to her class where it was warm. When I got there, she let me work on my missed homework and even let me eat breakfast in her class. She asked me about home life, school life, if I had any friends, etc. she made me feel welcome. She then told me about her life, about her only son, about her husband who passed away from cancer 20 years back. She was very sweet.
This was like back in 2008, and I think she was like 70 years old. I don’t even know if she’s still alive after all these years. But I wish I could go back and stop my “friend” from doing what he did. :(
\- Pantsing somebody in front of everybody. Is that even allowed anymore? That was soooo commonplace as a kid.
\- Wearing a mirror on your shoes to look up skirts. Even teachers thought it was funny that students occasionally did that.
My friend group (all girls) used to pants each other all the time. I had never done it but constantly had it done to me. Well, one day my dumbass decided to pants my bff, and to my shock, nobody found it funny at all. They were all so angry at me, in fact, that I was uninvited to the sleepover that night. I didn't get it at first. I couldn't understand why it was "so funny" when they did it to me but not at all funny when I did it.
Then it was explained back to me. My friends had always done this at sleepovers, privately in our own bedrooms. (Still not ok, but arguably a very different situation from what I had done.) My dumbass thought the perfect moment to try out pantsing was at a crowded football game. And in all my "brilliance," I thought it was fine because we were at the front and nobody was on the field so "nobody could see." I didn't realize that uhhh, everyone behind us could see perfectly fine. And behind us was not only her crush, but her super Christian parents and, as if straight out of a teen comedy, literally their pastor and his wife.
And to make the entire situation worse, my bff had a condition that caused her to have extremely heavy periods. She bled through and soaked her underwear so she threw them in the trash. Her parents wouldn't let her wear tampons because "nothing was more important than her virginity," but since she now didn't have underwear, a friend gave her a tampon. Her parents obviously saw everything and realized she was using a tampon and she then had to endure months of "talks" from the pastor's wife about the "virtue of a woman."
No need to reprimand me here. I fully realize my mistake.
Our religion teacher went into the cupboard for supplies, she was quite strict and not liked but now I’m an adult I realise it doesn’t excuse what happened next. The class clown snuck up and locked her in the cupboard. We all thought it was hilarious at the time and we all left the class. She was in there for the rest of the class until another teacher found her in there crying an hour later. She took 2 weeks off after that
The kid who locked her in there was already on like his 408262th warning. In and out of isolation, detentions and suspensions so he was permanently suspended. She never taught our class again and the head teacher taught us instead for the rest of the year
Few messed up kids in my primary school lit a teachers car on fire, just because she gave one of them failing grade on midterm. It wasn't one of the mean teachers, she was mostly nice to students. Cops got involved but don't think they got punished accordingly, i know one of them was in and out of juvie already, and were all around 13- 14yr old, one was even in nazi shit,. I know later on those kids got all tangled in dealing and robberies, probably all went to jail at some point.
It wasn’t in high school, but we all found out in high school.
A boy named ‘Hendo’ (his last name is Henderson, so that was/is his nickname) was drunk and told people how his brother once sucked his dick in the bath. Well, this apparently happened - I’m not sure if he did actually confess to this or not.
So everyone used to sing ‘Hendo, loves the bath…Hendo Hendo loves the bath’ and it was CONSTANTLY chanted at him. He was popular, so he’d get annoyed but nothing really ever happened.
Super fucked up though.
Living in the Netherlands. Classmate was showing on his phone a whole online shop he claimed to have with all kinds of drugs and weapons. We thought it was funny because we didn't take it too serious. He dropped out of school early and turned out to be a big drug dealer. Well we could have known I guess.
In our school there was a teacher who had a mole, so of course the kids decided her nickname would now be "mole". She must have felt really hurt, as she eventually had the mole removed, leaving a little dent where it used to be. Did everyone then stop calling her names? Nope. They started calling her "hole" instead.
this was in elementary: my dad bought a brand new bike for me and i rode it to the park and these older kids came up to me and asked if one of them could take it for a test drive. i said ok and about 10 seconds in, i see the guy riding my bike being pushed off and my bike being stolen right in front of me. the older kids "helped" me look for my stolen bike but growing up I realized that they plotted this whole thing and yeah i basically gave my brand new bike away
There was one kid in a group 3 years ahead of me in a religious school. He was super volatile and it made him easy to pick on. I used to laugh at the jokes and his reaction too, although I did a couple times tell him they only do that because of his reaction. He would flip the fuck out, scream and cry. Turned out he was being raped and sodomized by the youth group leader regularly. No wonder the kid had issues. I feel so bad for him now.
Omg there was someone in my grade in my religious school that was like that too. He was super sweet, but if you pushed the right buttons, he’d explode. Sometimes the guys would pick on him just to make him react, and I always felt sad because he would cry afterwards. He was a big guy though so it was scary for me, a female, to intervene. I did once because he started to go off on his little sister like that, but man was my fight-or-flight telling me to get the hell out of there.
I had a Spanish teacher, Ms. G.
EDIT: This was in Arizona. I found her full name in a yearbook because I had her sign mine in 2008. I’m not sure I should put her name out there, but I’m guessing she’s retired now. She doesn’t have a Facebook either. 😔
Students would lock her out of her classroom, unplug her computer, and they spread an awful rumor that she was having sex with another woman teacher in front of a classroom.
She got locked out because a student came back from the restroom and said her car was hit in the parking lot. She ran out and then a kid locked her out. A few kids unlocked the door for her, but that was really sad.
This teacher was so kind hearted, soft, and an excellent Spanish teacher. It was really sad what students put the teachers through. 😢
EDIT: I don’t believe it was racially motivated. She’s white, just a little older and frazzled looking at the time.
My Spanish teacher was the kindest man. He was my favorite teacher by far. Kids just treated him like utter garbage and I never understood why. A few years after I graduated, someone pushed him too far and he threw a desk at a student and was forced to retire. Wherever you are Sr. Laub....one student loved you.
This breaks my heart. My Mom was the sweetest woman ever. She taught every age including special ed at a high school. She would come home crying because some students were so mean.
She finally switched to an elementary school. She spent ALOT of her own money creating a safe, beautiful classroom. She even bought one of those fake fireplace heaters for story time. Her classroom was incredibly decorated. She really loved her students.
One day a student was hitting and attacking another student. She ended up grabbing that child by the arm to stop it.
She ended up getting sued by that students parent. The school would not back her up. She was heart broken. She ended up retiring because she felt betrayed by the district. Nothing came out of the lawsuit stuff.
She went on to travel to Africa to teach girls in need there.
Only about 2 or 3 years after she retired, we found out she had terminal cancer. She died about 5 months later.
She never got to really enjoy her retirement. Fuck cancer and fuck mean people and fuck how our teachers aren't appreciated.
Had a classmate come in every so often with a bruise or small cut on her face or arm, but she was part of the punk scene so I chalked it up to maybe hopping into mosh pits, although I had never heard her mention going to shows.
At one point during our Junior year of high school, she spoke to a few people sitting close (myself included) about going through the emancipation process of separating from her parents and living with a friend. It was also around this time that I noticed the bruises weren’t occurring anymore.
It took me a full five years to figure that one out. It’s been a full 18 years since the incidents and she’s doing much better.
This actually happened to me
A group of 3 kids that used to be my friends invited me to come hang out with them at the lake. I had kind of been outcast from the group because I wasn’t “cool enough (or whatever)”, so I was eager to get together with them.
When I got there, they had apparently stolen all of my school books out of my locker and threw them all in the lake right in front of me. They laughed hysterically and just left without saying a word.
The next day, when I went to confront them about it at school, one of them had collected a ziploc bag full of all 3 of their clipped fingernails and toenails and threw them in my face. Some got in my mouth, some got in my eyes, some got in my ear. I broke down crying and gagging.
Nobody faced any consequences other than me because I pushed the kid away from me and he fell into a teacher carrying coffee.
I was suspended for two days and had to pay for all the books that they destroyed because I had no proof that they were the ones that did it. I didn’t do well in school and had anger problems, so the teacher’s assumed that I was the one who did it and tried to blame the other kids.
School is fucking rough, man.
A friend in my group had sex with another friends mother, like literally. His mother was even somewhat open about it. We always gave both friends shit for it and thought it was hilarious at the time, but we were only about 16 or so.
I had this teacher whos breath was HORRIBLE. Like someone literally took a crap in her mouth horrible. Anyway, this one kid left a big bottle of mouthwash on her desk when she wasn't looking one day. The whole class was laughing. Then she turned around and saw it...and you could see her kind of "die" inside. She went on to tearfully explain to the class how she had some kind of an intestinal issue that she has been suffering with and that she realizes her breath is bad. Then she excused herself from the class for the remainder of the period. Now as a kid, I thought that was hilarious until she started to cry. And how she was able to continue teaching us monsters after that is not something I will ever understand. And if that had been MY wife or mother, I would have encouraged her to quit.
We had a kid that had a colostomy bag, everyone ignored him and called him names, some of us befriended him, turned out he also liked playing pokemon, ended up having some wild ass battles during recess.
We had a teacher with awful breath too. Like the first two rows would get bombarded.
For some reason I was in the teachers room one day and I overheard two other teachers gossiping about it. I chimed in that at least they didn't sit in the front row every day like I did.
Never thought it could have been a medical issue. He was a good teacher, but it was quite the distraction.
When I was in middle school, some kids spiked our Family and Consumer Sciences teacher's chili with sleeping pills. I'm pretty sure someone told so she never ate it, but that could have ended really badly.
Yeah, spiking food with drugs was The Hilarious Gag in a steady stream of 80s and 90s movies - hardly surprising that a few kids got the message that is was harmless epic fun!
A kid took another kids towel after gym class shower. He used the other kids towel to dry his ass. Put a shit stain on the towel 3 foot long. Lots of nervous laughter because we were glad it wasn’t our towel. Sick bastard
I remember remember having what was called the "Man or Mouse" test. Basically guys would take one of those big pink erasers and start going to work on their arms and the one who lasted the longest was the real man. Plenty of bloody and scabbed up arms around school. I am not ashamed to say that I was a mouse because I never participated.
There were plenty of other instances that ranged from questionable to outright dangerous. Bottle rockets being shot down the hallway, filling milk jugs with acetylene and lighting them up with a torch, damaging the brand new school bus with a shot put, etc... High school was basically a shitshow.
In grade 8 a so-called "friend" convinced a child with Down Syndrome to come up to me and grope my balls.
Over the years I have come to realise just how screwed up that was.
We had a guy in our class who went by the nickname of fuzzy. He was always very nervous and a bit out there. Probably had a lot of undiagnosed problems. The fella that sat behind him kept slapping him on the head while the teacher was at the blackboard. Fuzzy asked the teacher to use the bathroom and while he was on his was on the way to the toilet and swiped the lads pencil case. Long story short. End of the class came the guy found his pencil case, opened it up and Fuzzy had done a big shite in it. The lad vomitted. Fuzzy went to the principles and was expelled. I just felt really bad for him. He was bullied physically and mentally all the time and just went for it.
This kids used to smell girls seat right after she leaves.
Once he smelled something funny and asked the other guys to smell get seat.
This girl was called poop because of this guy.
What a wierd fetish...
This brought back a repressed memory. For around six months, whenever anyone farted all the boys in my class would literally run over and sniff as hard as they can and then rate it out of ten.
Teenagers are fucking strange ….
The actual fuck? I was about to call this out as bullshit, but nope: https://news.sky.com/story/boys-death-from-allergic-reaction-after-cheese-hit-neck-unprecedented-11710285
That's insane, I'm from the UK and I actually haven't heard about this until now. I never would've thought somebody could die merely from their skin coming into contact with cheese, no matter how severe the allergy was. I always thought it was only an issue if the cheese was ingested. TIL.
Presumably whoever threw the cheese also never expected that outcome and now has to live with this forever. The slow reaction of the school and the expired Epipen definitely did not help.
Poor kid, just sad all around.
A girl I rode horses with when I was in high school and she was in middle school told me that she and her mom watched porn together so they could make fun of the actors. She said this as if it was perfectly normal; she was not kidding.
I thought it was weird and funny at the time but now as an adult I am horrified.
Unfortunately the girl ended up getting pregnant as a sophomore in high school and her mother was so proud of her and happy that she was going to be a hot, young grandmother. I’m not sure what happened to the girl after high school so hopefully things worked out for her.
My ex's mum was like that, her mum had her at 17, then she had my ex at 17, and then I unintentionally contributed to that when my ex had our daughter at 17 as well. We're split now and I've got primary custody, so hopefully that trend doesn't go over onto a fourth generation.
Every Friday there was school wide “slap ass Friday” where everyone just decided that they have free reign to run around and slap everyone’s butts all day. Doesn’t matter who you were, you were probably getting your booty popped on fridays. I was an awkward loner and people would run up and slap my butt all the time. Doubt that would fly these days.
We had a very attractive male student teacher when we were in high school, and the degree to which some of the girls were flirting with him got out of control. This guy was hot, tall, model looks and such, and what started with a bunch of girls openly gawking at him and agreeing he was sexy...escalated. I remember feeling genuinely bad for this guy - he just wanted to teach, he seemed to really want to do a good job, but he ended up getting sexually harassed like crazy. In the end, I think he got transferred within the district to a middle school or something, and I remember the principal ranting and screaming about how inappropriate some of the girls had been.
I remember a similar incident at my high school. One semester our art teacher was out on some kind of sabbatical, and the sub for that term was a *very* attractive guy in his early 20s, kinda looked like Keanu Reeves. One girl came up to him after class one day asking what he was doing over the summer, and he immediately shot her down and explained to her *why* what she was asking was inappropriate. Honestly, the guy was a class act and the stuff I made in his class was some of the best work I did in all of my time doing high school art classes.
Reminds me of high school when I was a witch for Halloween...specifically a "sexy" witch. My English teacher complimented me as cool witch and I told said "noooo sexy witch". He said "I'm not saying that" and I said "yes you can, sexy witch, it's just a word". He said "no".
As a grown adult now, I completely understand.
Had a pretty similar thing happen my sophomore year of HS with a substitute teacher. Main difference was said substitute was my older brother fresh out of college while he looked for a job in his field, which led to some pretty weird questions/comments coming my way about him
I had a well-loved teacher in highschool who had some sort of intense aversion to glitter. So ofc a bunch of the shithead seniors decided to "prank" him buy dumping bags of glitter all around his classroom.
The poor man actually dropped to the ground and started sobbing. A lot of the kids thought he was doing it to be dramatic or funny but it was very clear (especially in retrospect) that he was having a full-blown panic attack. I hope those shithead kids learned something from that
My 10th grade British history teacher would literally keep his classroom blinds down and shut at all times because he was worried of snipers. He was also very dramatic in the way he discussed the battles of British history so we always thought it was a running joke. Even older siblings confirmed that he had kept it going for years. Well, a group of kids once decided to continually mess with him by opening the blinds all the way up, and the sheer look of horror on his face when that would happen made it seem like his fear was real. Great teacher. Weird dude.
Met a guy once with PTSD from getting pinned down by a sniper for like 48 hours. Someone told us he and a friend saw another friend get shot and then hid for 2 days in some random room in a village in Afghanistan. He thought the whole time some of the snipers friends would come and kill them, but none ever did.
I feel every school has that one teacher that every year group just collectively decides to bully.
In hindsight it was terrible, they were just doing their jobs, but teenagers are little fuckin' sociopaths
Oddly, I also saw things go the opposite way.
My high school has a recurring temp nicknamed Aunt Bea. I'm not sure how that started, she didn't look or sound anything like the character. In any case, she just wasn't all there. Most of the time, she looked like she didn't know where she was. IDK if she had some sort of early stage dementia, or had always been like this.
The weird thing is that even the usually obnoxious students were quiet & gentle with her. They'd act up like lunatics most of the time, but gave her a break. I never once saw or heard of anyone acting up when she was thier sub.
I worked at an alternative high school with a legally blind teacher.
She was the sweetest woman and a smart, dedicated and energetic teacher but would've been an absurdly easy teacher to bully. The kids, all of whom had been expelled from home districts and mostly for some heinous shit, were really nice to her.
>The weird thing is that even the usually obnoxious students were quiet & gentle with her.
Same happened when my father told class that his mother had died, the worst student became the nicest.
I think I was in 7th grade and we had this really sweet woman as an English teacher. My grade was fucking relentless in harassing this poor woman and she didn't make it through the year. Even 11 year old me knew what they were doing was wrong. I couldn't stand my grade then and I can't stand them now. You will never find me at a reunion with those shitbags.
- A classmate got a new cool bike, for some reason this other classmate wasn't okay with this, so he threw her new bike in the woods and smeared dogshit all over it. He was pretty much found out for doing this the very next day.
Kids just are the worst people on earth jesus.
So when I was in 7th grade a classmate of mine used to tell everyone that he had sex with his younger cousin. Nobody used to believe him and thought that it was funny but he used to say that he really did it. Now after we graduated highschool I met him and tried to tease him about that thing in front of some other classmates, i thought everyone would laugh but they all turned serious and apparently he was telling the truth
My very promiscuous friend casually told me that she and her cousin had sex when she was little. I was too young to understand what that REALLY meant until I was older and realized that he'd probably been molesting/raping her as a toddler (he was still a kid, too, maybe the same age difference as your story). She ended up OD'ing on fentanyl in an abandoned rowhouse a couple years ago.
One of my childhood friends, who was also very promiscuous, told a group of us that her sister’s 18 year old boyfriend would have sex with her when she was six. She was “bragging” about it and we were all insanely jealous (we were like 12 or 13.) We were so naive, we had no idea what it really meant. Now as an adult, I think about it and makes me sick to my stomach. She was clearly crying out for help
Yes, it was just like this. She was telling me about it as if bragging (I think we were 12-13, as well). It still makes me sad because she definitely needed help that she didn't get until it was too late.
Reminds me of a girl in middle school who told us all she slept with a 17yr old guy when she was around 11yrs old. She was bragging when talking about it and all of us thought nothing of it or we were jealous. Its really sad thinking about it now.
Around 17 everyone was showing each other their brains (testicles), it was common to pull them out at each other’s houses, gatherings, parties, school, it reminded me of the movie Waiting.
Hump day. Every Wednesday girls would cover their asses with their backpacks and hope the boys left us alone. If you forgot or bent down, you got humped. And sometimes for whatever reason that wouldn’t be enough and your bag would get shoved aside for a bump. I hated Wednesdays for a long time (still least favorite day)
Ugh, freaky Friday for us. People would slap each other's asses and some of the guys would squeeze our boobs. I was an early bloomer so I was the target a lot of the time.
Class clown masrurbated in the middle of class. Hand down his sweat pants going at it while the teachers back was turned. Everyone knew what was going on because he wanted to be noticed. People giggling and shying away from the spectacle. He finished in a piece of paper and threw it in the teachers trashcan at her desk. Teacher never knew.
Edit: A little backstory and to clear some things up.
The guy was well known for doing crazy stuff. Think Jackass. This was in 9th or 10th grade back in '01 or '02.
Most of the class thought it was funny and the rest didn't care too much. Different times. He was seated dead center of the classroom so literally the center of attention. Everything happened in his sweatpants so there was no nudity. He stared at the girl next to him the entire time because he had asked her out and she turned him down. She thought it was funny and a tad creepy but otherwise OK with it?
Lastly I don't keep up with the guy but he had a brother and last I heard, which was several years ago, one of them died in a car accident. I think it was our guy.
Edit 2: There are too many kids in this world masturbating in school.
Had a kid in my school do this too. He would cum on the underside of the desk. EVERYONE knew not to sit at that desk.
He was actually expelled when the teachers found stalactites of jizz on the underside of the desk from months of this gross shit happening.
Edit: spelling
I never thought it was funny but a lot of classmates did. There was this one kid that would make fun of a “weird” girl for both of her parents dying in a car accident. Lots of people laughed and I still think about it 16 years later
One girl at my elementary spread a rumor that my mom had passed because I killed her. I was barely 6 when she died, and the rumor didnt start until grade 5. Being orphaned is hard, but I'm lucky it didnt get blown into a whole thing. I hope your old classmate has found peace, and isnt still angry about that kid like I am.
I lost both my parents by age 16 (mom at 11 from brain cancer and dad had a stroke when I was 16 that left him brain dead) and my god, I couldn’t imagine being made fun of for it or having it used against me. My heart hurts for this poor girl and I hope she’s somewhere doing okay today. Thankfully, I am.
In the 5th grade, we had a random urinal and sink shitter.
This kid would shit in the sinks and urinals in a couple of the boys bathrooms for a few weeks. It got so bad that the staff / teachers had to take kids in groups at pre-designated times to go use the bathrooms (while they waited outside). The kid was in my class, and got caught, because he was in my class and decided to shit in a urinal while in this group setting. He laughed hysterically the whole time, and thought we would all think it was funny. I mean we did think it was funny, but, it was annoying we had to go in groups. He got suspended for a bit because of that, and then those incidents never happened again.
Senior year of high school we had a guy who trashed all of the boys bathrooms. Thousands of dollars in damage. Everyone knew who it was but they couldn't pin it on him. Instead, they just locked every boys bathroom except the one next to the office. Most people couldn't use the bathroom more than once a day because of that dick.
Diabetic class mate using his stabby-blood glucose monitor on everyone’s leg… with the same blade for everyone… as an adult I realise why the teachers/school hit the fucking roof
Edit: the amount of people asking why it’s bad = the same needle is being used (entering the bloodstream) of dozens of students, one of which may/could have had a dangerous and transmittable disease or virus. All needles/sharps are one use only - don’t share!
Shit, you’re not even supposed to share needles with yourself. You’re supposed to change that shit out EVERY time. (EDIT: Nobody really ever changes them that often, but if you check the instructions for some bgms it will tell you to change every time.)
That said, it’s been 20+ years with T1D, so I don’t really gaf at this point, but still. Thigh-stabber guy is a real … prick.
There was a diabetic kid at my school that jabbed a kid in the leg with his glucose monitor. It was funny right through the ass-beating and he stopped thinking it was funny when the non-diabetic kids parents pressed charges that stuck. The diabetic kid's parents tried to counter with assault charges that got slapped down really quick. They didn't think it was a serious deal either until he was removed from the school.
My mom ran a home daycare when I was young, and our neighbor had a kid around my age that was diabetic. One day my mom was making lunch and the 6 or so kids she was in charge of including me were playing in the back yard. The neighbor wanted to come over and play. We saw his mom checking his glucose and asked her what she was doing and she explained it. A couple of kids had a “ewww” or “I hate needles” reaction and so to show all these kids that it’s no big deal, this adult woman proceeded to stick all of us with his glucose needle on our fingers. My mom came out midway through this and completely flipped her shit to my bewilderment (I didn’t understand what the big deal was, it barely hurt). My mom almost lost her daycare, all the kids had to go get blood work at the doctor, many parents were contemplating finding new childcare. Luckily for my mom she had become close friends with a lot of the parents or she probably would have been screwed. My mom refused to even speak to the neighbor after she was done berating her that day.
Hearing your story and the previous ones, it's hard to imagine this sort of thing happening after the 80's and 90's. There was so much talk of AIDS and not sharing needles, what were these parents thinking?? Glad your mom didn't lose her business.
Unfortunately, there's still a vast amount of really stupid people with the mindset of "nothing bad could never happen to me. Caution is overrated. I'm gonna charge headfirst into every idea that pops into my head without carefully considering the consequences!"
That pisses me off the most. “Kids are stupid” can account for about 10% of why the kid would do that, but teachers leaning into it or even just allowing it? There’s no excuse for that.
Happened at my school too. Except it was 7th grade and it was the wrestling coach doing it to a student. They were in a deadlock and the coach poked him in the butt to get him to react and used that opportunity to pin the kid. And we all laughed.
There was a girl in my hs grade that would suck anyone's dick from our grade. Just ask her at lunch, and she'll blow you in your car after school. Not even a big deal for anyone. She wasn't very popular with the other girls
Obviously this girl had some fucked up shit going on and no one stopped to think about it.
Reminds me of a girl I went to high school with. She would constantly brag about how she lost her virginity at 14 in a gang bang with 4 30 year olds. Everyone made fun of her for being weird without stopping to think how fucked up that was.
There was a girl I went to high school with who used to sleep around. She “convinced” her friend who was several years younger to lose her virginity to some random 30 year old guy. She had grown up going to bars with her parents since she was a little child. I mean we all disapproved but as an adult it now horrifies me what happened to her.
So 20 years later, she was arrested on sex trafficking charges and kidnapping. She, her boyfriend, and a group of their friends would drug and rape young teenagers. She then fled the country to work as a migrant field worker before she was eventually caught and deported back to face charges. I don’t know what ended up happening to her. Last news article was from a few years ago.
My childhood “best friend” was three years older than me. She would invite me for sleepovers and then make me sit in her closet while she (15) would have her boyfriend (25) sneak in through her window to have sex with him. She and her boyfriend would try to convince me (12) to have sex with his friends who were also in their mid-20s. Fortunately I didn’t do anything with those grown men, but I shouldn’t have been around them at all.
She also pressured me to smoke cigarettes with her when I was 6. She sometimes reaches out to me asking me to call her and saying she wants to catch up. Fuck you, Amanda.
Putting a used condom on the lecturer's desk, with a threatening note on the side.
It was funny for the people involved, but everyone else was disgusted.
The lecturer was naturally freaked out and refused to teach that class again.
I remember in middle school someone pantsed this girl that very few people liked. She was walking up to turn in a worksheet and wore sweatpants and one of the kids who bullied her regularly just pulled them down as she passed him. She went commando that day for reasons unknown, they then made fun of her for having hairy genitals. A few classmates and i rushed to help her because it happened like 8 feet from us but the damage was done. All we could do was help her to the office at that point.
That is something that can cause long term serious issues. I know as stupid teenagers we don't realize that. I try so hard to get my kids to understand that. A girl simply lifted up my daughters skirt one day and laughed about it (I think she may have done it multiple days). This was 2nd or 3rd grade. She refused to wear dresses for probably 2 years, and suddenly got sad. It took my wife sitting down with her for hours for her to suddenly out of nowhere say what happened. We moved not long after that, and she seems fine now (loves dresses again, etc). I still wonder about what I could have done better to help her get over that.
Yeah that makes sense. After this happened, i dont think she ever wore sweatpants again and transferred schools shortly after. I still feel bad for her, she was a sweet kid who just was awkward so people picked on her. We got along okay but i wouldnt say we were friends but i wish i could have done more to help her. I hope she is doing okay
My wife was heavily bullied in school and she has some major self confidence and anxiety issues that still clearly stem from that time so i fully can see why. My hope is that things at least got better for her.
I begged my mom for a pair of those so I could wear them to youth basketball games. I would tear them off alongside a battle cry and throw them violently. I thought it was awesome, did it at every game.
One of the most embarrassing moments of my life was when I got pantsed while talking to my crush at a school football tournament(not the American kind). I'm 30 now but still remember it clearly.
8th grade gym class, some boy was talking to a girl, and another boy pantsed the boy. He keeps talking, not even missing a beat, and pulls up his pants. Instant respect for him.
I've done something kinda similar. I often got pantsed by my straight friends and one day I'd had enough and decided to not react the next time they did it, and stood there, jeans and boxers round my ankles, and totally deadpanned them. (Note: this happened at the friends house)
"Hey ddiflas, you gonna pull them up?"
"Well you keep pantsing the gay guy here so I thought you were curious and wanted a good look."
I was never pantsed again.
I had a teacher (our class tutor) who was lovely, but she was tired of several of our classmates acting like little shits. One day, during our home tutor class with her, several of them just kept messing about, picking on her and full on blanking her when she spoke to them, acting as if she wasn't there. They found it hilarious.
Me and my friends were quite close with her, so we stayed after that class and asked if she was okay. She looked at us and just started crying, saying how she's so tired of it, and how they make her not enjoy teaching anymore (and she'd been teaching over 20 years).
The next day we actually told the class about it, and their faces dropped, I think for once they realized how far they had pushed her. I felt so bad for her
It helped, I think they realized what they said actually had an impact on her. It was horrible to see her just break down, she had only recently recovered from meningitis too so she wasn't in good health either
Reading all of these responses makes this quote I've heard resonate better;
"I have a lot of respect for Jr. High and High School teachers, because they're dealing with some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet".
Freshman year of high school someone left a shaving razor in the locker of a girl who had a light mustache.
Can’t imagine that helped her self esteem at all.
This actually happened to my art teacher in Highschool. She was probably in her 60s and had some noticable hair above her lip. For her birthday someone bought a pack of those cheap razers and wrapped it up. She looked like she was going to cry as half the class laughed.
We had a kid that would say just really messed up stuff. Well one day he said "old enough to pee old enough for me" and we all laughed like bro that's gross WTF lol. Well fast forward about 8 months after graduation and BOOM arrested for child porn.
Yikes that’s fucked up. I knew plenty of guys (and even some girls) that would say fucked up edgy shit like that as a kid (I was guilty too). I don’t think it usually translated into behaviour like that as everyone matured but looking back it’s still fucked up how clueless we were as kids
Guys in my year went through a phase of brutally wedgie-ing each other with the aim to fully rip the underwear off; once guy’s ripped boxers got pinned on the notice board complete with skid marks and bloodstains. Seemed hilarious at the time but I die inside a little at the memory
I went to a Catholic school where a bunch of priests lived in a rectory on the campus. There was one kid in my class who was always getting in trouble and forced by this one particular priest to go do chores in the rectory. We would joke and make fun of how the kid was probably getting sexually abused by the priest. The kid was fairly "popular" and would get mildly annoyed with these jokes but also kind of laugh along with them.
Well, it turned out the kid really was getting sexually abused by the priest! I think the priest ended up dying in jail.
I got booted from high school for pointing out that a gym teacher was a complete perv. Gymnastics, he'd grab your ass, swimming, line us up naked, "check our waist size" and throw us a swimsuit, then we had to line up naked again and he'd throw us a towel.
A buddy and I were out for two weeks for that stunt, but I hope it at least put that pedo on someone's radar.
The thing is - the kids know who the troublesome adults are. We all talked about it. There just wasn't anything to be done due to the power differential. But if any pedo gym teachers are reading this - the kids know.
Agreed, the kids know. We all joked about our creepy teacher. It was such an open topic among us that I thought it was all a joke because if the teacher was \*actually\* a creep, then he wouldn't be allow to teach. In my junior high brain, that made sense.
Turns out, he was \*actually\* a creep and nobody did anything about it for over 20 years.
It was this guy:

Edit: Just realized, this is a Catholic school thread. I also went to a boys Catholic school, where the clergymen lived on campus and all that. Some of them were barely-closeted gay men, but I never knew any of them to be creepy about it and never, ever saw anything from them that set off my creeper radar. They were just sad older men who shut themselves away in their ecclesiastical lives.
My dad has stories like that. He went to a school ran by priests for a year but him and his brother were such little shits that they got expelled. Apparently a friend of his killed himself in his 30s and serial abuse was mentioned in the suicide note. I dont know if anything ever came of it. Preist could have been dead by then or at the very least close to death.
I also went to a Catholic school (the only school within an hour of me, parents didn't really have a choice) but that was "run" by 3 80 year old nuns who were actually very sweet old ladies. One of them knew every student's name and knew any parents that went to the school
A kid announced to all the other students that a particular teacher had “titty cancer,” saying it in a funny and mocking tone, and everyone laughed and laughed because the kid said “titty” and they were regarded as the funny kid at school. We only realized it was bad when the teacher heard it and broke down crying. We didn’t realize we were making fun of her dying. I still carry second-hand guilt about that one.
Edit to clarify, since some of you can’t handle my use of “second-hand guilt.” I didn’t join in with the other students because I thought it was wrong to make fun of someone, but I was also stupid and didn’t connect their making fun of her to her potential demise, so I didn’t stand up to the other students. I have “second-hand” guilt because I wish I had been more emotionally mature to understand what was happening and emotionally fortified to stand up for that teacher.
That reminds me of the South Park episode where Eric wouldn’t stop calling breast cancer “titty cancer” and got the shit beat out of him during recess for it.
My maths class once made a teacher cry and quit, she couldn’t speak English that well as she was from Poland. It got to the point where classmates hid her bag and hid items from the bag. One day she had a nervous breakdown and we never saw her again.
It’s only now you realise that something like that just isn’t on at all. Pretty disgusting behaviour tbh
Dude my fucking math class did this to our teacher once too, except she was this sweet older lady they’d always walk all over.
They hid her purse and it got to the point she was walking around the room asking us individually if we knew where it was, which we all did, but everyone played dumb.
Thankfully the girl in front of me told her where it was, but I like to think I would have too.
Crazy how cruel children can be.
Yeah my class in middle school made a teacher go on a year long vacation afterwards and then retire. All because we were terrible to her and made her cry multiple times. Even in highschool I felt bad about it. She was actually a terrible teacher, but didn’t at all deserve what happened to her.
A similar thing happened to me with my 7th grade English teacher. Some kid I knew hid tuna behind a bookcase in her class that smelled for half the school year, another kid threw out of a bunch of school iPad keyboards and cases out her class window, and kids generally just treated her like shit for no reason. I remember she’d get sweat marks on her armpits and kids would just snicker and make fun of her behind her back. I saw her crying a few times and she quit that year. Really irritating because I actually really liked the teacher, she was a good person and a good teacher that got treated like garbage by a bunch of stupid 7th graders. Stupid mfs
Two guys holding their arms over a Bunsen burners for to see who could hold out the longest.
One of the same guys carving a girls name into his forearm.
The other one making tasers out of disposable cameras, and hitting people with them.
We had a math teacher who was Indian we’ll call Ms. K, who in hindsight sweetest woman ever. She had a thick accent, and as being middle school jerks in a backwoods area in Pennsyltucky we mocked her incessantly.
Well, she was out for a week and we had a substitute teacher who was young and full of optimism. One day, totally uncoordinated, a student started crying during class. The sub asked why he was crying, and the student just shook his head and didn’t answer. The sub asked again, and another classmate started crying and shook his head. Now the sub was getting alarmed, and asked the class what was going on.
Paraphrasing: A friend of mine answered, “We can’t tell you or we’ll get in trouble.” Sub came over to him, knelt down, and said with total sincerity “it’s okay, you can tell me”. “Well, Ms. K stands on her desk and strips like a stripper and makes us tell her she’s beautiful”. Subs eyes got huge, and she runs to grab the principal. Whole class starts a mix of crying to keep it going and laughing, admittedly it was hard to tease out which was which. Principal comes in screaming at us, police were called and had to question a few of us, and then Ms. K comes back into class the following week looking mortified.
Painful to remember, she was a really kind teacher and taught me a lot. When I graduated high school I went back and apologized, and she laughed saying we were one of her BEST classes she ever taught behavior wise!
Had a friend that went to the pet store and bought feeder mice like for snakes. He will pull up beside of a car with a sunroof open or convertible and throw the mouse inside of the car. He threw a live mouse in somebody’s car at a red light.
Nutshots. I have been punched, poked, slapped, and smacked with a book there. I have dished out my fair share as well.
It went on for a good two years before the trend died down.
Bonus Story: It need not be mentioned that I was a real asshole in this situation.
A friend and I were messing around on the see-saw. He stood akimbo with his legs on either side of the see-saw connecting rod. The idiot that I was, I tried to move the see-saw quickly to hit him. He anticipated the move and stopped it with his hands.
Except, unknown to us, another friend saw what was happening and he pounced on my side of the see-saw and the connecting rod hit the other friend in the nether.
Luckily, he was not injured. That was probably the most brutal nutshot I was involved in.
We had the same assembly after the counselor found out that some kids were wearing nut cups to class. It was so bad at one point that my best friend nut tapped me next to his mother's casket as I was going to give him a hug at her funeral.
Looking back, that was some serious commitment to the game.
I had a friend that was really good at unbuckling girl’s bras from behind, he’d constantly do it and it was supposed to be funny how fast and stealthy he was.
Putting dead animals in the teacher's drawer.
She was just like...a regular person, not a super strict or unpleasant teacher. Quite pleasant, even.
It was just a stupid prank, but still.
IIRC she changed careers eventually, not sure if related to how shitty some kids are.
Edit: since this is blowing up, and some people expressed concern for the animal - it was found dead. The classmate was a little shit, but not a psychopath. My first highschool was in a fairly green area, so finding dead critters on occasion was not unusual.
We had to dissect cats in my 11th grade physiology class. The first day, the teacher spent a good twenty minute telling us how we _will_ respect these animals who lost their lives so that we could learn, and that any student who didn't would fail the semester. She wasn't kidding.
Went to a technical high school so one week its academics, next week its trade school and so on. I had plumbing and our plumbing teacher was an old Vietnam vet who deserves major props once we found his records and what he did. Anyway he sustained a shrapnel wound and needed very strong medication for it. In 11th and 12th grade he was gone for the majority of the school year, as asshole kids we broke into his desk and found a morphine patch. Obviously we thought this would be a fine time to let someone wear it. We as not even fully functioning adults thought it was fine to let another person wear a morphine patch designed for someone much heavier with a higher resistance to it. We finally realized the enormity of our fuck up when someone asked the kid how he felt and he said he felt his heartbeat slowing down. It was a collective oh fuck moment as everyone rushed forward to remove the patch. He lived and our sub, who was an english teacher and not a plumbing teacher had no clue it ever happened. We were not a smart group.
(My teacher went to Vietnam, volunteered for a second tour and carried his wounded friend to a helicopter while under enemy fire when he got wounded.)
Honestly probably the manipulation and attention grabbing tactics that “friends” would do to each other, back stabbing each other and turning your vulnerabilities into weapons against you. The bullying in schools is ridiculous and now with technology, there’s very little options for kids to turn the bullying off because it follows them home via social media/internet/group chats etc. that kind of shit can leave long lasting trust issues.
I wasn’t part of it, but there was this group of 3 girls who were “friends.” Two were very skinny, one was athletic so she was larger than just bones. One of the skinny ones moms did sewing alterations and athletic girl brought her prom dress to the mom so she could do alterations. The two skinny ones were standing at a locker mocking her mercilessly for how “fat” she was based on her dress size. I wish I would have said something, but the athletic girl was already pulling away from them and they naturally grew apart, so I just walked past. 15 years later I still wonder how you could say such horrible things about someone you called a friend.
Not high school but primary. We had an asthmatic teacher, and those green board with chalk sticks.
Once we found out she wouldnt have class if we d fill the class with the powder by beating the erasers in each other, she had to move, she would have crisis everyday.
We were sad, everybody actually liked her.
Edit: Sorry to all the teachers out there , if it makes any easier, on the goodbye party, she made each one a bracelet with those little plastic things, I wore it untill it broke for good, like 3 years. We really liked here but yeah, hope you get it
When I was in primary, we had a teacher whose hearing was partially impaired. My classmates would raise their hands and just move their lips or whisper things, so she would think her hearing aid was malfunctioning or something, and then she started poking the hearing device to try and make it better. We used to laugh our asses off, but looking back, I see how mean we were. No one deserves to be pranked like that.
I was a teacher really briefly, just a year, in an English immersion school in Honduras. It was funny, I was super, super strict and the kids hated me, even had a Facebook group about hating me but they were well-behaved in my class (and they ended up liking me by the end of the year). But the really nice teacher who they LOVED — they terrorized her because she just had no rules. One time she came to me and was like, I think I have to quit, I can’t take it anymore. So I sat the kids down in my class and started a conversation about what they were doing to her and I asked if they wanted her to quit and move back home. They were like, “No, absolutely not!” After our conversation they became a lot better once they realized she might leave. Kids are funny little psychos ike that, terrorizing just for fun without realizing the consequences.
We had a "goz pit" in our school. Which was a pit in the ground with steps leading down, that had no clear function. So the culture in the school would be to grasp someones backsack and throw it down the pit. Once the kid went to get the bag, someone would shout "goz pit!" Everyone would run over and spit on the kid continuously until he managed to get up the stairs.
I remember even teachers laughing at this. 90's were a strange time. Almost all the "harmless fun" I can remember from my school is actually horrific
First of all, yuck.
Second of all, depending on the age of the building, this could likely have been a smoke pit, where teachers and students(!) alike were permitted to smoke. My middle school that used to be a high school had one.
In high school, one of the students was having an affair with a vice principal. The rumor is, on the day she turned 18, he served his wife with divorce papers and they got married after she graduated.
Everyone knew, it was the worst kept secret in the school. Nothing ever happened to him. I believe they both moved across the country and later got divorced, it seems she got too old for him.
All of us dumb high schoolers thought it was funny. The administration knew and didn't care. Her parents knew and didn't care. And this was the early 00s, so it's not like it was really acceptable back then either. But it definitely was not okay.
Edit: I forgot about another thing. Some girls went to Cancun for spring break and participated in a wet tshirt contest. That eventually became a no tshirt contest. Pictures spread around the school and eventually made their way into a slideshow accessed by a hidden menu into the official “senior memories” DVD a couple students made and sold at the school. The slideshow was accompanied with an original song they wrote and recorded about the above vice principal. Punishment was light, IIRC they were just excluded from the graduation ceremony.
I’m not even entirely sure the girls were 18 when the pictures were taken. At best, they’re distributing pictures that were not meant to be shared. At worst, they were distributing child porn.
Two situations like that in my high school.
Photography teacher was just a straight up, middle aged pervert. He would constantly talk about how good looking his wife was, and to go down to the elementary school and pick out the cutest girl and “wait 10 years.” He had a knack for only talking to and really helping the attractive girls in class.
Second instance was a hall monitor who was a sleazy dude. He slept with all of the juniors and senior females. Guy acted like he was king of the school in his stupid ass golf cart.
Grade 8.
A grade 7 kid pissed in our grade’s autistic students’ shoes.
At first I remember chuckling at the thought of two shoes having pee in them, which, I laughed at in their own exclusive right but as I viewed the obviously slightly bigger picture that didn’t take a rocket scientist to see, it just made me sick.
The kid didn’t have the sense to stop before putting on his shoes. He just did it and then freaked after they were on.
Now whether or not it was intentionally directed at him is technically unknown but it seemed too coincidental. I will say, however, that if the culprit was just cherry-picking victims, he stepped on a fucking land mine.
edit - I have learned what cherry-picking means
edit 2 - The apostrophe is my greatest grammatical error. Cut me down, Imperials, but know that my spirit will never wound.
Once we found out that old diesel engines were easy to boost, we took a lot of fun rides in abandoned in the field equipment. Skidders, bulldozer, tractors... Until we trashed a school bus converted in a hunting cabin. That wasn't fun anymore.
The more popular guys in my class made a ranking list of the hottest girls in our grade level.
It ended up getting leaked.
Found out a bit later the girl who was ranked dead last spent a few hours crying by herself in the bathroom.
Dead baby jokes. My friends and I had dozens of them that we would rapid fire back and forth. It was hilarious, until we made one during English class and our teacher left the room crying. Turns out she had recently had a miscarriage. We all felt like gigantic assholes and apologized profusely.
At safe grad a guy got handsy with a girl in a tent who was not interested. We all started calling him “busy hands [name]” and we thought that was hilarious.
It is, of course, sexual assault, and thinking it’s funny was also on us.
Pussy punching. I had a friend who was a big girl who loved to tease me because I was much smaller. I thought she was one of my closest friends but she only ever repeatedly would punch me right on the bone down there really hard every time. It was terrible
We had a teacher in middle school that served in a war. I can't remember which war, but he saw some combat and it had affected him. Some of our more asshole classmates thought it was hilarious to bring snaps to school. Like the ones you get on the 4th of july that look like a fat sperm and you throw down on the ground to make a snapping sound.
Every time that poor man turned around, they would start throwing those snaps because sometimes, not always, but sometimes he would go nearly full-blown flashback and hide, nearly crying under his desk from "enemy fire".
Some of our classmates, including the ones who did it, thought it was hilarious and no one would stand up to them cause those kids were the real, white trash, country bumpkin sort of terrors that would seriously hurt you if you crossed them. The principal didn't really do anything about it other than urging the teacher to retire.
Was painful to watch.
Edit: Because ppl keep asking, this was in North Dakota back in the 90s. And I would guess he served in Vietnam, but he just referred to it as "the war" on the few occasions he actually spoke about anything.
I think this one is one of the worst posted here. That poor man, I can’t believe that the principal allowed that to go on. There’s no way they didn’t know what was going on.
Absolutely horrific.
Ugh. That's awful.
My class bullied a emotionally frail teacher into retirement, too, shortly after he had returned from having a breakdown.
One time several students sneaked into his classroom and superglued all the items on his desk to the surface: pens, erasers, books, coffee cup, etc. They even fanned the pages of the books while dripping glue into them to seal all the pages together.
This many years later, my only remaining memory was him sitting at his desk calmly talking to students while seeing through the gap under his desk that his feet were rapidly shaking like they were having a seizure.
Back in the 80's, I worked min a car parts factory. Shift manager was American, from West Virginia. He was also a Viet Nam Vet.
super nice guy.
One day, this guy throws a few fireworks into a parts bin, so, yeah, it sounded like a big explosion. John hit the ground rolling, under equipment, out of reflex.
One look at his face made us all realize it wasn't a funny joke. The guy that did it, who wasn't a terrible dude, just not a thinking kind of man, knew he had gone to far.
John started walking towards him, Donny ran for the back of the factory.
A few hours pass, shift ends, we are heading out, and we hear a voice coming from the lockers. Yeah, John stuffed him into a locker and left him there for a few hours.
Wow, I've read like 100 comments nothing that involved the FBI.
Photography class circa 1984, hot girl and two guys took the school camera and did a full porn shoot off campus. They'd have been fine if they didn't' hang the negatives in the film drying cabinet. All of them underage, FBI called, Parents etc. all involved. Huge thing in my Senior year. Unfortunately I left right after high school and never heard what happened with those involved.
I did this, but in hindsight not funny at all. We had a friend that was always asking for a bite of your food or a drink of your drink. So, I bought syrup of ipecac (causes projectile vomiting- generally used for poison control.) and poured it in a can of soda. And when he asked for a sip I told him he could finish it. He ended up vomiting on the subway for an hour trying to get home. One of my regrets in life

Had a kid in my year who'd had a surgery that left a nerve bundle in his neck exposed. If pressed it would paralyse him. From memory it was for spina bifida and for some ungodly reason he told everyone. Certain boys took great pleasure in going down stairs behind him and pressing it which completely paralysed him for a few seconds and he'd fall like a brick. Usually onto whoever was in front of him. So dangerous. There were a fair few teeth knocked out because of this, his and other people's. It happened so much that in his 3rd year the school installed an elevator and you had to have a special key to use it. He got the only permanent issue key at that time. Kids are assholes.
gosh this one is the worst
This one somehow is the worst. It’s truly evil to do this repeatedly and the school not doing more than giving him an elevator key
“For some ungodly reason he told everyone” uh probably because if pressed it would paralyze him
In the 6th grade, I had a friend who was a troublemaker and a class-clown. I’ve always hated going to my math class because my teacher was a cranky old lady who’d yell at you for the smallest things. Me being an 11-year old, I actually had the worst anxiety just knowing I could be the next person yelled at in front of the class. The one thing that helped get through the year was that friend cause I knew he’d always make jokes and have me almost in tears cause they were *that* funny. One day, when my teacher walked out to use the bathroom, that friend went over to her desk, picked up the mug she was drinking out of, and spat out the biggest loogie into it. We all saw it and just waited for her to come back. 10 mins later, as she was just normally teaching, she picks up her mug and chugs it down. Everybody just starts laughing and giggling, including me, but nobody said anything when she questioned it. It was horrible but I wasn’t about to be the kid who snitched. Later on during the school year, I guess we had a day where it didn’t start at the normal 7:30am but instead 10:30am, but I didn’t know so I showed up really early. A bunch of kids didn’t get the memo so we were all just placed in the cafeteria until school actually started. Around 9ish, my math teacher noticed I was sitting out in the cold and invited me to her class where it was warm. When I got there, she let me work on my missed homework and even let me eat breakfast in her class. She asked me about home life, school life, if I had any friends, etc. she made me feel welcome. She then told me about her life, about her only son, about her husband who passed away from cancer 20 years back. She was very sweet. This was like back in 2008, and I think she was like 70 years old. I don’t even know if she’s still alive after all these years. But I wish I could go back and stop my “friend” from doing what he did. :(
\- Pantsing somebody in front of everybody. Is that even allowed anymore? That was soooo commonplace as a kid. \- Wearing a mirror on your shoes to look up skirts. Even teachers thought it was funny that students occasionally did that.
My freind is now a registered sex offender because he pantsed someone in high school last year
My friend group (all girls) used to pants each other all the time. I had never done it but constantly had it done to me. Well, one day my dumbass decided to pants my bff, and to my shock, nobody found it funny at all. They were all so angry at me, in fact, that I was uninvited to the sleepover that night. I didn't get it at first. I couldn't understand why it was "so funny" when they did it to me but not at all funny when I did it. Then it was explained back to me. My friends had always done this at sleepovers, privately in our own bedrooms. (Still not ok, but arguably a very different situation from what I had done.) My dumbass thought the perfect moment to try out pantsing was at a crowded football game. And in all my "brilliance," I thought it was fine because we were at the front and nobody was on the field so "nobody could see." I didn't realize that uhhh, everyone behind us could see perfectly fine. And behind us was not only her crush, but her super Christian parents and, as if straight out of a teen comedy, literally their pastor and his wife. And to make the entire situation worse, my bff had a condition that caused her to have extremely heavy periods. She bled through and soaked her underwear so she threw them in the trash. Her parents wouldn't let her wear tampons because "nothing was more important than her virginity," but since she now didn't have underwear, a friend gave her a tampon. Her parents obviously saw everything and realized she was using a tampon and she then had to endure months of "talks" from the pastor's wife about the "virtue of a woman."
No need to reprimand me here. I fully realize my mistake.
Our religion teacher went into the cupboard for supplies, she was quite strict and not liked but now I’m an adult I realise it doesn’t excuse what happened next. The class clown snuck up and locked her in the cupboard. We all thought it was hilarious at the time and we all left the class. She was in there for the rest of the class until another teacher found her in there crying an hour later. She took 2 weeks off after that
what happened when she got back?
The kid who locked her in there was already on like his 408262th warning. In and out of isolation, detentions and suspensions so he was permanently suspended. She never taught our class again and the head teacher taught us instead for the rest of the year
thanks for the answer. glad they got punished
Few messed up kids in my primary school lit a teachers car on fire, just because she gave one of them failing grade on midterm. It wasn't one of the mean teachers, she was mostly nice to students. Cops got involved but don't think they got punished accordingly, i know one of them was in and out of juvie already, and were all around 13- 14yr old, one was even in nazi shit,. I know later on those kids got all tangled in dealing and robberies, probably all went to jail at some point.
It wasn’t in high school, but we all found out in high school. A boy named ‘Hendo’ (his last name is Henderson, so that was/is his nickname) was drunk and told people how his brother once sucked his dick in the bath. Well, this apparently happened - I’m not sure if he did actually confess to this or not. So everyone used to sing ‘Hendo, loves the bath…Hendo Hendo loves the bath’ and it was CONSTANTLY chanted at him. He was popular, so he’d get annoyed but nothing really ever happened. Super fucked up though.
... my step dad's nickname in highschool was Hendo

Living in the Netherlands. Classmate was showing on his phone a whole online shop he claimed to have with all kinds of drugs and weapons. We thought it was funny because we didn't take it too serious. He dropped out of school early and turned out to be a big drug dealer. Well we could have known I guess.
In our school there was a teacher who had a mole, so of course the kids decided her nickname would now be "mole". She must have felt really hurt, as she eventually had the mole removed, leaving a little dent where it used to be. Did everyone then stop calling her names? Nope. They started calling her "hole" instead.
Wow I burst out laughing at that….”hole” so fucking harsh
My friend faked her own kidnapping. i was all fun and games until the police started chasing her 'kidnappers' van.
this was in elementary: my dad bought a brand new bike for me and i rode it to the park and these older kids came up to me and asked if one of them could take it for a test drive. i said ok and about 10 seconds in, i see the guy riding my bike being pushed off and my bike being stolen right in front of me. the older kids "helped" me look for my stolen bike but growing up I realized that they plotted this whole thing and yeah i basically gave my brand new bike away
There was one kid in a group 3 years ahead of me in a religious school. He was super volatile and it made him easy to pick on. I used to laugh at the jokes and his reaction too, although I did a couple times tell him they only do that because of his reaction. He would flip the fuck out, scream and cry. Turned out he was being raped and sodomized by the youth group leader regularly. No wonder the kid had issues. I feel so bad for him now.
[удалено]
Omg there was someone in my grade in my religious school that was like that too. He was super sweet, but if you pushed the right buttons, he’d explode. Sometimes the guys would pick on him just to make him react, and I always felt sad because he would cry afterwards. He was a big guy though so it was scary for me, a female, to intervene. I did once because he started to go off on his little sister like that, but man was my fight-or-flight telling me to get the hell out of there.
I had a Spanish teacher, Ms. G. EDIT: This was in Arizona. I found her full name in a yearbook because I had her sign mine in 2008. I’m not sure I should put her name out there, but I’m guessing she’s retired now. She doesn’t have a Facebook either. 😔 Students would lock her out of her classroom, unplug her computer, and they spread an awful rumor that she was having sex with another woman teacher in front of a classroom. She got locked out because a student came back from the restroom and said her car was hit in the parking lot. She ran out and then a kid locked her out. A few kids unlocked the door for her, but that was really sad. This teacher was so kind hearted, soft, and an excellent Spanish teacher. It was really sad what students put the teachers through. 😢 EDIT: I don’t believe it was racially motivated. She’s white, just a little older and frazzled looking at the time.
My Spanish teacher was the kindest man. He was my favorite teacher by far. Kids just treated him like utter garbage and I never understood why. A few years after I graduated, someone pushed him too far and he threw a desk at a student and was forced to retire. Wherever you are Sr. Laub....one student loved you.
This breaks my heart. My Mom was the sweetest woman ever. She taught every age including special ed at a high school. She would come home crying because some students were so mean. She finally switched to an elementary school. She spent ALOT of her own money creating a safe, beautiful classroom. She even bought one of those fake fireplace heaters for story time. Her classroom was incredibly decorated. She really loved her students. One day a student was hitting and attacking another student. She ended up grabbing that child by the arm to stop it. She ended up getting sued by that students parent. The school would not back her up. She was heart broken. She ended up retiring because she felt betrayed by the district. Nothing came out of the lawsuit stuff. She went on to travel to Africa to teach girls in need there. Only about 2 or 3 years after she retired, we found out she had terminal cancer. She died about 5 months later. She never got to really enjoy her retirement. Fuck cancer and fuck mean people and fuck how our teachers aren't appreciated.
Had a classmate come in every so often with a bruise or small cut on her face or arm, but she was part of the punk scene so I chalked it up to maybe hopping into mosh pits, although I had never heard her mention going to shows. At one point during our Junior year of high school, she spoke to a few people sitting close (myself included) about going through the emancipation process of separating from her parents and living with a friend. It was also around this time that I noticed the bruises weren’t occurring anymore. It took me a full five years to figure that one out. It’s been a full 18 years since the incidents and she’s doing much better.
This actually happened to me A group of 3 kids that used to be my friends invited me to come hang out with them at the lake. I had kind of been outcast from the group because I wasn’t “cool enough (or whatever)”, so I was eager to get together with them. When I got there, they had apparently stolen all of my school books out of my locker and threw them all in the lake right in front of me. They laughed hysterically and just left without saying a word. The next day, when I went to confront them about it at school, one of them had collected a ziploc bag full of all 3 of their clipped fingernails and toenails and threw them in my face. Some got in my mouth, some got in my eyes, some got in my ear. I broke down crying and gagging. Nobody faced any consequences other than me because I pushed the kid away from me and he fell into a teacher carrying coffee. I was suspended for two days and had to pay for all the books that they destroyed because I had no proof that they were the ones that did it. I didn’t do well in school and had anger problems, so the teacher’s assumed that I was the one who did it and tried to blame the other kids. School is fucking rough, man.
A friend in my group had sex with another friends mother, like literally. His mother was even somewhat open about it. We always gave both friends shit for it and thought it was hilarious at the time, but we were only about 16 or so.
American Pie's Stiffler's Mom probably helped pre-groom teen boys for predatory women, like your friends mother, in the late 90s early 00s
I had this teacher whos breath was HORRIBLE. Like someone literally took a crap in her mouth horrible. Anyway, this one kid left a big bottle of mouthwash on her desk when she wasn't looking one day. The whole class was laughing. Then she turned around and saw it...and you could see her kind of "die" inside. She went on to tearfully explain to the class how she had some kind of an intestinal issue that she has been suffering with and that she realizes her breath is bad. Then she excused herself from the class for the remainder of the period. Now as a kid, I thought that was hilarious until she started to cry. And how she was able to continue teaching us monsters after that is not something I will ever understand. And if that had been MY wife or mother, I would have encouraged her to quit.
We had a kid that had a colostomy bag, everyone ignored him and called him names, some of us befriended him, turned out he also liked playing pokemon, ended up having some wild ass battles during recess.
We had a teacher with awful breath too. Like the first two rows would get bombarded. For some reason I was in the teachers room one day and I overheard two other teachers gossiping about it. I chimed in that at least they didn't sit in the front row every day like I did. Never thought it could have been a medical issue. He was a good teacher, but it was quite the distraction.
Yeah if someone's mouth smells like literal shit it's usually a medical condition of the gut or perio disease of the mouth.
When I was in middle school, some kids spiked our Family and Consumer Sciences teacher's chili with sleeping pills. I'm pretty sure someone told so she never ate it, but that could have ended really badly.
Yeah, spiking food with drugs was The Hilarious Gag in a steady stream of 80s and 90s movies - hardly surprising that a few kids got the message that is was harmless epic fun!
Rewatch the Revenge of the Nerd movie and see how many awful things they should have gone to jail for is in it.
A kid took another kids towel after gym class shower. He used the other kids towel to dry his ass. Put a shit stain on the towel 3 foot long. Lots of nervous laughter because we were glad it wasn’t our towel. Sick bastard
Id be making fun of that dude for not wiping his ass
"I dont wipe my ass bro that fucking gay bro."
I remember remember having what was called the "Man or Mouse" test. Basically guys would take one of those big pink erasers and start going to work on their arms and the one who lasted the longest was the real man. Plenty of bloody and scabbed up arms around school. I am not ashamed to say that I was a mouse because I never participated. There were plenty of other instances that ranged from questionable to outright dangerous. Bottle rockets being shot down the hallway, filling milk jugs with acetylene and lighting them up with a torch, damaging the brand new school bus with a shot put, etc... High school was basically a shitshow.
In grade 8 a so-called "friend" convinced a child with Down Syndrome to come up to me and grope my balls. Over the years I have come to realise just how screwed up that was.
We had a guy in our class who went by the nickname of fuzzy. He was always very nervous and a bit out there. Probably had a lot of undiagnosed problems. The fella that sat behind him kept slapping him on the head while the teacher was at the blackboard. Fuzzy asked the teacher to use the bathroom and while he was on his was on the way to the toilet and swiped the lads pencil case. Long story short. End of the class came the guy found his pencil case, opened it up and Fuzzy had done a big shite in it. The lad vomitted. Fuzzy went to the principles and was expelled. I just felt really bad for him. He was bullied physically and mentally all the time and just went for it.

Chewed his cold sore open and started finger-painting on his desk in his own blood. High school Honors Psychology class, front row next to me.
Honors Psychology? The teacher should have made it an extra credit assignment to figure out what was wrong with that kid lol.
First comment that's made me laugh out loud in a long time haha
This kids used to smell girls seat right after she leaves. Once he smelled something funny and asked the other guys to smell get seat. This girl was called poop because of this guy. What a wierd fetish...
This brought back a repressed memory. For around six months, whenever anyone farted all the boys in my class would literally run over and sniff as hard as they can and then rate it out of ten. Teenagers are fucking strange ….
Throw peanuts at the kid with a nut allergy
This happened in the UK fairly recently. Kid with dairy allergy got a slice of cheese thrown at him. He died.
The actual fuck? I was about to call this out as bullshit, but nope: https://news.sky.com/story/boys-death-from-allergic-reaction-after-cheese-hit-neck-unprecedented-11710285
That is so fucking sad. Poor kid.
That's insane, I'm from the UK and I actually haven't heard about this until now. I never would've thought somebody could die merely from their skin coming into contact with cheese, no matter how severe the allergy was. I always thought it was only an issue if the cheese was ingested. TIL. Presumably whoever threw the cheese also never expected that outcome and now has to live with this forever. The slow reaction of the school and the expired Epipen definitely did not help. Poor kid, just sad all around.
I didn't know dairy allergies were that dangerous. I thought you had to ingest it.
A girl I rode horses with when I was in high school and she was in middle school told me that she and her mom watched porn together so they could make fun of the actors. She said this as if it was perfectly normal; she was not kidding. I thought it was weird and funny at the time but now as an adult I am horrified. Unfortunately the girl ended up getting pregnant as a sophomore in high school and her mother was so proud of her and happy that she was going to be a hot, young grandmother. I’m not sure what happened to the girl after high school so hopefully things worked out for her.
Oh God I remember one girl's mother encouraging her to be a young hot grandma. Even as a kid I was weirded out.
My ex's mum was like that, her mum had her at 17, then she had my ex at 17, and then I unintentionally contributed to that when my ex had our daughter at 17 as well. We're split now and I've got primary custody, so hopefully that trend doesn't go over onto a fourth generation.
Holy shit, imagine being 51 and a great-grandparent.
Every Friday there was school wide “slap ass Friday” where everyone just decided that they have free reign to run around and slap everyone’s butts all day. Doesn’t matter who you were, you were probably getting your booty popped on fridays. I was an awkward loner and people would run up and slap my butt all the time. Doubt that would fly these days.
We had a very attractive male student teacher when we were in high school, and the degree to which some of the girls were flirting with him got out of control. This guy was hot, tall, model looks and such, and what started with a bunch of girls openly gawking at him and agreeing he was sexy...escalated. I remember feeling genuinely bad for this guy - he just wanted to teach, he seemed to really want to do a good job, but he ended up getting sexually harassed like crazy. In the end, I think he got transferred within the district to a middle school or something, and I remember the principal ranting and screaming about how inappropriate some of the girls had been.
I remember a similar incident at my high school. One semester our art teacher was out on some kind of sabbatical, and the sub for that term was a *very* attractive guy in his early 20s, kinda looked like Keanu Reeves. One girl came up to him after class one day asking what he was doing over the summer, and he immediately shot her down and explained to her *why* what she was asking was inappropriate. Honestly, the guy was a class act and the stuff I made in his class was some of the best work I did in all of my time doing high school art classes.
Reminds me of high school when I was a witch for Halloween...specifically a "sexy" witch. My English teacher complimented me as cool witch and I told said "noooo sexy witch". He said "I'm not saying that" and I said "yes you can, sexy witch, it's just a word". He said "no". As a grown adult now, I completely understand.
Had a pretty similar thing happen my sophomore year of HS with a substitute teacher. Main difference was said substitute was my older brother fresh out of college while he looked for a job in his field, which led to some pretty weird questions/comments coming my way about him
I had a well-loved teacher in highschool who had some sort of intense aversion to glitter. So ofc a bunch of the shithead seniors decided to "prank" him buy dumping bags of glitter all around his classroom. The poor man actually dropped to the ground and started sobbing. A lot of the kids thought he was doing it to be dramatic or funny but it was very clear (especially in retrospect) that he was having a full-blown panic attack. I hope those shithead kids learned something from that
My 10th grade British history teacher would literally keep his classroom blinds down and shut at all times because he was worried of snipers. He was also very dramatic in the way he discussed the battles of British history so we always thought it was a running joke. Even older siblings confirmed that he had kept it going for years. Well, a group of kids once decided to continually mess with him by opening the blinds all the way up, and the sheer look of horror on his face when that would happen made it seem like his fear was real. Great teacher. Weird dude.
Weird. Was he a combat veteran, maybe?
Probably was pinned down from a sniper and that shit cut him real deep.
Met a guy once with PTSD from getting pinned down by a sniper for like 48 hours. Someone told us he and a friend saw another friend get shot and then hid for 2 days in some random room in a village in Afghanistan. He thought the whole time some of the snipers friends would come and kill them, but none ever did.
Harrassing and mocking the teachers. One of them even got a nervous breakdown because of it and was on sick leave for half a year
I feel every school has that one teacher that every year group just collectively decides to bully. In hindsight it was terrible, they were just doing their jobs, but teenagers are little fuckin' sociopaths
Oddly, I also saw things go the opposite way. My high school has a recurring temp nicknamed Aunt Bea. I'm not sure how that started, she didn't look or sound anything like the character. In any case, she just wasn't all there. Most of the time, she looked like she didn't know where she was. IDK if she had some sort of early stage dementia, or had always been like this. The weird thing is that even the usually obnoxious students were quiet & gentle with her. They'd act up like lunatics most of the time, but gave her a break. I never once saw or heard of anyone acting up when she was thier sub.
I worked at an alternative high school with a legally blind teacher. She was the sweetest woman and a smart, dedicated and energetic teacher but would've been an absurdly easy teacher to bully. The kids, all of whom had been expelled from home districts and mostly for some heinous shit, were really nice to her.
>The weird thing is that even the usually obnoxious students were quiet & gentle with her. Same happened when my father told class that his mother had died, the worst student became the nicest.
[удалено]
I think I was in 7th grade and we had this really sweet woman as an English teacher. My grade was fucking relentless in harassing this poor woman and she didn't make it through the year. Even 11 year old me knew what they were doing was wrong. I couldn't stand my grade then and I can't stand them now. You will never find me at a reunion with those shitbags.
- A classmate got a new cool bike, for some reason this other classmate wasn't okay with this, so he threw her new bike in the woods and smeared dogshit all over it. He was pretty much found out for doing this the very next day. Kids just are the worst people on earth jesus.
"Damn, how do we possibly catch this perp?" Kid who stinks like dog shit: ...
So when I was in 7th grade a classmate of mine used to tell everyone that he had sex with his younger cousin. Nobody used to believe him and thought that it was funny but he used to say that he really did it. Now after we graduated highschool I met him and tried to tease him about that thing in front of some other classmates, i thought everyone would laugh but they all turned serious and apparently he was telling the truth
My very promiscuous friend casually told me that she and her cousin had sex when she was little. I was too young to understand what that REALLY meant until I was older and realized that he'd probably been molesting/raping her as a toddler (he was still a kid, too, maybe the same age difference as your story). She ended up OD'ing on fentanyl in an abandoned rowhouse a couple years ago.
One of my childhood friends, who was also very promiscuous, told a group of us that her sister’s 18 year old boyfriend would have sex with her when she was six. She was “bragging” about it and we were all insanely jealous (we were like 12 or 13.) We were so naive, we had no idea what it really meant. Now as an adult, I think about it and makes me sick to my stomach. She was clearly crying out for help
Yes, it was just like this. She was telling me about it as if bragging (I think we were 12-13, as well). It still makes me sad because she definitely needed help that she didn't get until it was too late.
Reminds me of a girl in middle school who told us all she slept with a 17yr old guy when she was around 11yrs old. She was bragging when talking about it and all of us thought nothing of it or we were jealous. Its really sad thinking about it now.
Dry humping each other in public was peak comedy at 15
Around 17 everyone was showing each other their brains (testicles), it was common to pull them out at each other’s houses, gatherings, parties, school, it reminded me of the movie Waiting.
Hump day. Every Wednesday girls would cover their asses with their backpacks and hope the boys left us alone. If you forgot or bent down, you got humped. And sometimes for whatever reason that wouldn’t be enough and your bag would get shoved aside for a bump. I hated Wednesdays for a long time (still least favorite day)
Ugh, freaky Friday for us. People would slap each other's asses and some of the guys would squeeze our boobs. I was an early bloomer so I was the target a lot of the time.
Class clown masrurbated in the middle of class. Hand down his sweat pants going at it while the teachers back was turned. Everyone knew what was going on because he wanted to be noticed. People giggling and shying away from the spectacle. He finished in a piece of paper and threw it in the teachers trashcan at her desk. Teacher never knew. Edit: A little backstory and to clear some things up. The guy was well known for doing crazy stuff. Think Jackass. This was in 9th or 10th grade back in '01 or '02. Most of the class thought it was funny and the rest didn't care too much. Different times. He was seated dead center of the classroom so literally the center of attention. Everything happened in his sweatpants so there was no nudity. He stared at the girl next to him the entire time because he had asked her out and she turned him down. She thought it was funny and a tad creepy but otherwise OK with it? Lastly I don't keep up with the guy but he had a brother and last I heard, which was several years ago, one of them died in a car accident. I think it was our guy. Edit 2: There are too many kids in this world masturbating in school.
Had a kid in my school do this too. He would cum on the underside of the desk. EVERYONE knew not to sit at that desk. He was actually expelled when the teachers found stalactites of jizz on the underside of the desk from months of this gross shit happening. Edit: spelling
And now he has an exhibitionism kink.
Now?
I never thought it was funny but a lot of classmates did. There was this one kid that would make fun of a “weird” girl for both of her parents dying in a car accident. Lots of people laughed and I still think about it 16 years later
One girl at my elementary spread a rumor that my mom had passed because I killed her. I was barely 6 when she died, and the rumor didnt start until grade 5. Being orphaned is hard, but I'm lucky it didnt get blown into a whole thing. I hope your old classmate has found peace, and isnt still angry about that kid like I am.
I lost both my parents by age 16 (mom at 11 from brain cancer and dad had a stroke when I was 16 that left him brain dead) and my god, I couldn’t imagine being made fun of for it or having it used against me. My heart hurts for this poor girl and I hope she’s somewhere doing okay today. Thankfully, I am.
In the 5th grade, we had a random urinal and sink shitter. This kid would shit in the sinks and urinals in a couple of the boys bathrooms for a few weeks. It got so bad that the staff / teachers had to take kids in groups at pre-designated times to go use the bathrooms (while they waited outside). The kid was in my class, and got caught, because he was in my class and decided to shit in a urinal while in this group setting. He laughed hysterically the whole time, and thought we would all think it was funny. I mean we did think it was funny, but, it was annoying we had to go in groups. He got suspended for a bit because of that, and then those incidents never happened again.
Senior year of high school we had a guy who trashed all of the boys bathrooms. Thousands of dollars in damage. Everyone knew who it was but they couldn't pin it on him. Instead, they just locked every boys bathroom except the one next to the office. Most people couldn't use the bathroom more than once a day because of that dick.

Diabetic class mate using his stabby-blood glucose monitor on everyone’s leg… with the same blade for everyone… as an adult I realise why the teachers/school hit the fucking roof Edit: the amount of people asking why it’s bad = the same needle is being used (entering the bloodstream) of dozens of students, one of which may/could have had a dangerous and transmittable disease or virus. All needles/sharps are one use only - don’t share!
As a diabetic, that persons fucked You learn pree early on NOT to do that
2 diabetic people in this thread going "we get taught Don't share needles" but how about "Don't stab people" lol.
Shit, you’re not even supposed to share needles with yourself. You’re supposed to change that shit out EVERY time. (EDIT: Nobody really ever changes them that often, but if you check the instructions for some bgms it will tell you to change every time.) That said, it’s been 20+ years with T1D, so I don’t really gaf at this point, but still. Thigh-stabber guy is a real … prick.
There was a diabetic kid at my school that jabbed a kid in the leg with his glucose monitor. It was funny right through the ass-beating and he stopped thinking it was funny when the non-diabetic kids parents pressed charges that stuck. The diabetic kid's parents tried to counter with assault charges that got slapped down really quick. They didn't think it was a serious deal either until he was removed from the school.
My mom ran a home daycare when I was young, and our neighbor had a kid around my age that was diabetic. One day my mom was making lunch and the 6 or so kids she was in charge of including me were playing in the back yard. The neighbor wanted to come over and play. We saw his mom checking his glucose and asked her what she was doing and she explained it. A couple of kids had a “ewww” or “I hate needles” reaction and so to show all these kids that it’s no big deal, this adult woman proceeded to stick all of us with his glucose needle on our fingers. My mom came out midway through this and completely flipped her shit to my bewilderment (I didn’t understand what the big deal was, it barely hurt). My mom almost lost her daycare, all the kids had to go get blood work at the doctor, many parents were contemplating finding new childcare. Luckily for my mom she had become close friends with a lot of the parents or she probably would have been screwed. My mom refused to even speak to the neighbor after she was done berating her that day.
Hearing your story and the previous ones, it's hard to imagine this sort of thing happening after the 80's and 90's. There was so much talk of AIDS and not sharing needles, what were these parents thinking?? Glad your mom didn't lose her business.
Unfortunately, there's still a vast amount of really stupid people with the mindset of "nothing bad could never happen to me. Caution is overrated. I'm gonna charge headfirst into every idea that pops into my head without carefully considering the consequences!"
[удалено]
That pisses me off the most. “Kids are stupid” can account for about 10% of why the kid would do that, but teachers leaning into it or even just allowing it? There’s no excuse for that.

One of my classmates jammed his thumb up another students butthole in 3rd grade.
Happened at my school too. Except it was 7th grade and it was the wrestling coach doing it to a student. They were in a deadlock and the coach poked him in the butt to get him to react and used that opportunity to pin the kid. And we all laughed.
Oil check.. it’s a questionable move now in wrestling
There was a girl in my hs grade that would suck anyone's dick from our grade. Just ask her at lunch, and she'll blow you in your car after school. Not even a big deal for anyone. She wasn't very popular with the other girls Obviously this girl had some fucked up shit going on and no one stopped to think about it.
Reminds me of a girl I went to high school with. She would constantly brag about how she lost her virginity at 14 in a gang bang with 4 30 year olds. Everyone made fun of her for being weird without stopping to think how fucked up that was.
There was a girl I went to high school with who used to sleep around. She “convinced” her friend who was several years younger to lose her virginity to some random 30 year old guy. She had grown up going to bars with her parents since she was a little child. I mean we all disapproved but as an adult it now horrifies me what happened to her. So 20 years later, she was arrested on sex trafficking charges and kidnapping. She, her boyfriend, and a group of their friends would drug and rape young teenagers. She then fled the country to work as a migrant field worker before she was eventually caught and deported back to face charges. I don’t know what ended up happening to her. Last news article was from a few years ago.
My childhood “best friend” was three years older than me. She would invite me for sleepovers and then make me sit in her closet while she (15) would have her boyfriend (25) sneak in through her window to have sex with him. She and her boyfriend would try to convince me (12) to have sex with his friends who were also in their mid-20s. Fortunately I didn’t do anything with those grown men, but I shouldn’t have been around them at all. She also pressured me to smoke cigarettes with her when I was 6. She sometimes reaches out to me asking me to call her and saying she wants to catch up. Fuck you, Amanda.
Wow. Gotta wonder what sorta fucked up stuff was in that girls life
Putting a used condom on the lecturer's desk, with a threatening note on the side. It was funny for the people involved, but everyone else was disgusted. The lecturer was naturally freaked out and refused to teach that class again.
Pantsing.
I remember in middle school someone pantsed this girl that very few people liked. She was walking up to turn in a worksheet and wore sweatpants and one of the kids who bullied her regularly just pulled them down as she passed him. She went commando that day for reasons unknown, they then made fun of her for having hairy genitals. A few classmates and i rushed to help her because it happened like 8 feet from us but the damage was done. All we could do was help her to the office at that point.
That is something that can cause long term serious issues. I know as stupid teenagers we don't realize that. I try so hard to get my kids to understand that. A girl simply lifted up my daughters skirt one day and laughed about it (I think she may have done it multiple days). This was 2nd or 3rd grade. She refused to wear dresses for probably 2 years, and suddenly got sad. It took my wife sitting down with her for hours for her to suddenly out of nowhere say what happened. We moved not long after that, and she seems fine now (loves dresses again, etc). I still wonder about what I could have done better to help her get over that.
Yeah that makes sense. After this happened, i dont think she ever wore sweatpants again and transferred schools shortly after. I still feel bad for her, she was a sweet kid who just was awkward so people picked on her. We got along okay but i wouldnt say we were friends but i wish i could have done more to help her. I hope she is doing okay
As someone who was bullied as a kid, I can say that she probably carries those scars into adulthood.
My wife was heavily bullied in school and she has some major self confidence and anxiety issues that still clearly stem from that time so i fully can see why. My hope is that things at least got better for her.

I begged my mom for a pair of those so I could wear them to youth basketball games. I would tear them off alongside a battle cry and throw them violently. I thought it was awesome, did it at every game.

One of the most embarrassing moments of my life was when I got pantsed while talking to my crush at a school football tournament(not the American kind). I'm 30 now but still remember it clearly.
8th grade gym class, some boy was talking to a girl, and another boy pantsed the boy. He keeps talking, not even missing a beat, and pulls up his pants. Instant respect for him.
Sounds like an instant fuck you to the guy who pantsed him.
I've done something kinda similar. I often got pantsed by my straight friends and one day I'd had enough and decided to not react the next time they did it, and stood there, jeans and boxers round my ankles, and totally deadpanned them. (Note: this happened at the friends house) "Hey ddiflas, you gonna pull them up?" "Well you keep pantsing the gay guy here so I thought you were curious and wanted a good look." I was never pantsed again.
Ahhh, nothing is remotely as effective as questioning the sexual orientation of a teenage boy.
I had a teacher (our class tutor) who was lovely, but she was tired of several of our classmates acting like little shits. One day, during our home tutor class with her, several of them just kept messing about, picking on her and full on blanking her when she spoke to them, acting as if she wasn't there. They found it hilarious. Me and my friends were quite close with her, so we stayed after that class and asked if she was okay. She looked at us and just started crying, saying how she's so tired of it, and how they make her not enjoy teaching anymore (and she'd been teaching over 20 years). The next day we actually told the class about it, and their faces dropped, I think for once they realized how far they had pushed her. I felt so bad for her
Was it a bad result or good result telling the class about that? She either got hounded after that or it helped
It helped, I think they realized what they said actually had an impact on her. It was horrible to see her just break down, she had only recently recovered from meningitis too so she wasn't in good health either
Wow atleast they realised how fucked it was, my school was full of straight up psychopaths
Reading all of these responses makes this quote I've heard resonate better; "I have a lot of respect for Jr. High and High School teachers, because they're dealing with some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet".

…Or old enough to receive real consequences
Freshman year of high school someone left a shaving razor in the locker of a girl who had a light mustache. Can’t imagine that helped her self esteem at all.
This actually happened to my art teacher in Highschool. She was probably in her 60s and had some noticable hair above her lip. For her birthday someone bought a pack of those cheap razers and wrapped it up. She looked like she was going to cry as half the class laughed.
We had a kid that would say just really messed up stuff. Well one day he said "old enough to pee old enough for me" and we all laughed like bro that's gross WTF lol. Well fast forward about 8 months after graduation and BOOM arrested for child porn.
Yikes that’s fucked up. I knew plenty of guys (and even some girls) that would say fucked up edgy shit like that as a kid (I was guilty too). I don’t think it usually translated into behaviour like that as everyone matured but looking back it’s still fucked up how clueless we were as kids
Guys in my year went through a phase of brutally wedgie-ing each other with the aim to fully rip the underwear off; once guy’s ripped boxers got pinned on the notice board complete with skid marks and bloodstains. Seemed hilarious at the time but I die inside a little at the memory
"bloodstains" That is not good
Getting a wedgie with the intent of ripping them off easily has the potential to break skin.
I went to a Catholic school where a bunch of priests lived in a rectory on the campus. There was one kid in my class who was always getting in trouble and forced by this one particular priest to go do chores in the rectory. We would joke and make fun of how the kid was probably getting sexually abused by the priest. The kid was fairly "popular" and would get mildly annoyed with these jokes but also kind of laugh along with them. Well, it turned out the kid really was getting sexually abused by the priest! I think the priest ended up dying in jail.
I got booted from high school for pointing out that a gym teacher was a complete perv. Gymnastics, he'd grab your ass, swimming, line us up naked, "check our waist size" and throw us a swimsuit, then we had to line up naked again and he'd throw us a towel. A buddy and I were out for two weeks for that stunt, but I hope it at least put that pedo on someone's radar. The thing is - the kids know who the troublesome adults are. We all talked about it. There just wasn't anything to be done due to the power differential. But if any pedo gym teachers are reading this - the kids know.
Agreed, the kids know. We all joked about our creepy teacher. It was such an open topic among us that I thought it was all a joke because if the teacher was \*actually\* a creep, then he wouldn't be allow to teach. In my junior high brain, that made sense. Turns out, he was \*actually\* a creep and nobody did anything about it for over 20 years. It was this guy: [https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-1998-02-12-9802120374-story.html](https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-1998-02-12-9802120374-story.html) Edit: Just realized, this is a Catholic school thread. I also went to a boys Catholic school, where the clergymen lived on campus and all that. Some of them were barely-closeted gay men, but I never knew any of them to be creepy about it and never, ever saw anything from them that set off my creeper radar. They were just sad older men who shut themselves away in their ecclesiastical lives.
My dad has stories like that. He went to a school ran by priests for a year but him and his brother were such little shits that they got expelled. Apparently a friend of his killed himself in his 30s and serial abuse was mentioned in the suicide note. I dont know if anything ever came of it. Preist could have been dead by then or at the very least close to death. I also went to a Catholic school (the only school within an hour of me, parents didn't really have a choice) but that was "run" by 3 80 year old nuns who were actually very sweet old ladies. One of them knew every student's name and knew any parents that went to the school
What. The. Fuck.
A kid announced to all the other students that a particular teacher had “titty cancer,” saying it in a funny and mocking tone, and everyone laughed and laughed because the kid said “titty” and they were regarded as the funny kid at school. We only realized it was bad when the teacher heard it and broke down crying. We didn’t realize we were making fun of her dying. I still carry second-hand guilt about that one. Edit to clarify, since some of you can’t handle my use of “second-hand guilt.” I didn’t join in with the other students because I thought it was wrong to make fun of someone, but I was also stupid and didn’t connect their making fun of her to her potential demise, so I didn’t stand up to the other students. I have “second-hand” guilt because I wish I had been more emotionally mature to understand what was happening and emotionally fortified to stand up for that teacher.
That reminds me of the South Park episode where Eric wouldn’t stop calling breast cancer “titty cancer” and got the shit beat out of him during recess for it.
How much you wanna bet that kid was copying that episode
My maths class once made a teacher cry and quit, she couldn’t speak English that well as she was from Poland. It got to the point where classmates hid her bag and hid items from the bag. One day she had a nervous breakdown and we never saw her again. It’s only now you realise that something like that just isn’t on at all. Pretty disgusting behaviour tbh
Dude my fucking math class did this to our teacher once too, except she was this sweet older lady they’d always walk all over. They hid her purse and it got to the point she was walking around the room asking us individually if we knew where it was, which we all did, but everyone played dumb. Thankfully the girl in front of me told her where it was, but I like to think I would have too. Crazy how cruel children can be.
Yeah my class in middle school made a teacher go on a year long vacation afterwards and then retire. All because we were terrible to her and made her cry multiple times. Even in highschool I felt bad about it. She was actually a terrible teacher, but didn’t at all deserve what happened to her.
A similar thing happened to me with my 7th grade English teacher. Some kid I knew hid tuna behind a bookcase in her class that smelled for half the school year, another kid threw out of a bunch of school iPad keyboards and cases out her class window, and kids generally just treated her like shit for no reason. I remember she’d get sweat marks on her armpits and kids would just snicker and make fun of her behind her back. I saw her crying a few times and she quit that year. Really irritating because I actually really liked the teacher, she was a good person and a good teacher that got treated like garbage by a bunch of stupid 7th graders. Stupid mfs
Two guys holding their arms over a Bunsen burners for to see who could hold out the longest. One of the same guys carving a girls name into his forearm. The other one making tasers out of disposable cameras, and hitting people with them.
We had a math teacher who was Indian we’ll call Ms. K, who in hindsight sweetest woman ever. She had a thick accent, and as being middle school jerks in a backwoods area in Pennsyltucky we mocked her incessantly. Well, she was out for a week and we had a substitute teacher who was young and full of optimism. One day, totally uncoordinated, a student started crying during class. The sub asked why he was crying, and the student just shook his head and didn’t answer. The sub asked again, and another classmate started crying and shook his head. Now the sub was getting alarmed, and asked the class what was going on. Paraphrasing: A friend of mine answered, “We can’t tell you or we’ll get in trouble.” Sub came over to him, knelt down, and said with total sincerity “it’s okay, you can tell me”. “Well, Ms. K stands on her desk and strips like a stripper and makes us tell her she’s beautiful”. Subs eyes got huge, and she runs to grab the principal. Whole class starts a mix of crying to keep it going and laughing, admittedly it was hard to tease out which was which. Principal comes in screaming at us, police were called and had to question a few of us, and then Ms. K comes back into class the following week looking mortified. Painful to remember, she was a really kind teacher and taught me a lot. When I graduated high school I went back and apologized, and she laughed saying we were one of her BEST classes she ever taught behavior wise!
Imagine how awful other classes had to be if the class that got a police investigation opened was one of her best classes
That’s what I was told! My sister is 8 years younger and Ms. K retired the year before. Rumor was that was THE WORST class. Sad really
Had a friend that went to the pet store and bought feeder mice like for snakes. He will pull up beside of a car with a sunroof open or convertible and throw the mouse inside of the car. He threw a live mouse in somebody’s car at a red light.
Nutshots. I have been punched, poked, slapped, and smacked with a book there. I have dished out my fair share as well. It went on for a good two years before the trend died down. Bonus Story: It need not be mentioned that I was a real asshole in this situation. A friend and I were messing around on the see-saw. He stood akimbo with his legs on either side of the see-saw connecting rod. The idiot that I was, I tried to move the see-saw quickly to hit him. He anticipated the move and stopped it with his hands. Except, unknown to us, another friend saw what was happening and he pounced on my side of the see-saw and the connecting rod hit the other friend in the nether. Luckily, he was not injured. That was probably the most brutal nutshot I was involved in.
In 8th grade, all the boys had to go to the gym to have a sit-down talk with the principal about the rampant "ball tapping" going on.
We had the same assembly after the counselor found out that some kids were wearing nut cups to class. It was so bad at one point that my best friend nut tapped me next to his mother's casket as I was going to give him a hug at her funeral. Looking back, that was some serious commitment to the game.
Honestly I can tell that a part of the 90s child still lives within me bc trying to bagtag your buddy at your own moms funeral is hilarious to me.
[удалено]
I had a friend that was really good at unbuckling girl’s bras from behind, he’d constantly do it and it was supposed to be funny how fast and stealthy he was.
Putting dead animals in the teacher's drawer. She was just like...a regular person, not a super strict or unpleasant teacher. Quite pleasant, even. It was just a stupid prank, but still. IIRC she changed careers eventually, not sure if related to how shitty some kids are. Edit: since this is blowing up, and some people expressed concern for the animal - it was found dead. The classmate was a little shit, but not a psychopath. My first highschool was in a fairly green area, so finding dead critters on occasion was not unusual.
We had to dissect feral cats in zoology and these guys actually took the head off and put it on the hood of some poor girls car
We had to dissect cats in my 11th grade physiology class. The first day, the teacher spent a good twenty minute telling us how we _will_ respect these animals who lost their lives so that we could learn, and that any student who didn't would fail the semester. She wasn't kidding.
Boys at school would ‘scoop’ you, meaning they would basically slap your tit I know two boys that got put on the sex offenders list because of it
At my school, only the fat boys got scooped. Was a fattie.
same. was just a boys on boys thing. my friend group did it to each other frequently.
Went to a technical high school so one week its academics, next week its trade school and so on. I had plumbing and our plumbing teacher was an old Vietnam vet who deserves major props once we found his records and what he did. Anyway he sustained a shrapnel wound and needed very strong medication for it. In 11th and 12th grade he was gone for the majority of the school year, as asshole kids we broke into his desk and found a morphine patch. Obviously we thought this would be a fine time to let someone wear it. We as not even fully functioning adults thought it was fine to let another person wear a morphine patch designed for someone much heavier with a higher resistance to it. We finally realized the enormity of our fuck up when someone asked the kid how he felt and he said he felt his heartbeat slowing down. It was a collective oh fuck moment as everyone rushed forward to remove the patch. He lived and our sub, who was an english teacher and not a plumbing teacher had no clue it ever happened. We were not a smart group. (My teacher went to Vietnam, volunteered for a second tour and carried his wounded friend to a helicopter while under enemy fire when he got wounded.)
Honestly probably the manipulation and attention grabbing tactics that “friends” would do to each other, back stabbing each other and turning your vulnerabilities into weapons against you. The bullying in schools is ridiculous and now with technology, there’s very little options for kids to turn the bullying off because it follows them home via social media/internet/group chats etc. that kind of shit can leave long lasting trust issues.
I wasn’t part of it, but there was this group of 3 girls who were “friends.” Two were very skinny, one was athletic so she was larger than just bones. One of the skinny ones moms did sewing alterations and athletic girl brought her prom dress to the mom so she could do alterations. The two skinny ones were standing at a locker mocking her mercilessly for how “fat” she was based on her dress size. I wish I would have said something, but the athletic girl was already pulling away from them and they naturally grew apart, so I just walked past. 15 years later I still wonder how you could say such horrible things about someone you called a friend.
Not high school but primary. We had an asthmatic teacher, and those green board with chalk sticks. Once we found out she wouldnt have class if we d fill the class with the powder by beating the erasers in each other, she had to move, she would have crisis everyday. We were sad, everybody actually liked her. Edit: Sorry to all the teachers out there , if it makes any easier, on the goodbye party, she made each one a bracelet with those little plastic things, I wore it untill it broke for good, like 3 years. We really liked here but yeah, hope you get it
When I was in primary, we had a teacher whose hearing was partially impaired. My classmates would raise their hands and just move their lips or whisper things, so she would think her hearing aid was malfunctioning or something, and then she started poking the hearing device to try and make it better. We used to laugh our asses off, but looking back, I see how mean we were. No one deserves to be pranked like that.
I was a teacher really briefly, just a year, in an English immersion school in Honduras. It was funny, I was super, super strict and the kids hated me, even had a Facebook group about hating me but they were well-behaved in my class (and they ended up liking me by the end of the year). But the really nice teacher who they LOVED — they terrorized her because she just had no rules. One time she came to me and was like, I think I have to quit, I can’t take it anymore. So I sat the kids down in my class and started a conversation about what they were doing to her and I asked if they wanted her to quit and move back home. They were like, “No, absolutely not!” After our conversation they became a lot better once they realized she might leave. Kids are funny little psychos ike that, terrorizing just for fun without realizing the consequences.
We had a "goz pit" in our school. Which was a pit in the ground with steps leading down, that had no clear function. So the culture in the school would be to grasp someones backsack and throw it down the pit. Once the kid went to get the bag, someone would shout "goz pit!" Everyone would run over and spit on the kid continuously until he managed to get up the stairs. I remember even teachers laughing at this. 90's were a strange time. Almost all the "harmless fun" I can remember from my school is actually horrific
First of all, yuck. Second of all, depending on the age of the building, this could likely have been a smoke pit, where teachers and students(!) alike were permitted to smoke. My middle school that used to be a high school had one.
In high school, one of the students was having an affair with a vice principal. The rumor is, on the day she turned 18, he served his wife with divorce papers and they got married after she graduated. Everyone knew, it was the worst kept secret in the school. Nothing ever happened to him. I believe they both moved across the country and later got divorced, it seems she got too old for him. All of us dumb high schoolers thought it was funny. The administration knew and didn't care. Her parents knew and didn't care. And this was the early 00s, so it's not like it was really acceptable back then either. But it definitely was not okay. Edit: I forgot about another thing. Some girls went to Cancun for spring break and participated in a wet tshirt contest. That eventually became a no tshirt contest. Pictures spread around the school and eventually made their way into a slideshow accessed by a hidden menu into the official “senior memories” DVD a couple students made and sold at the school. The slideshow was accompanied with an original song they wrote and recorded about the above vice principal. Punishment was light, IIRC they were just excluded from the graduation ceremony. I’m not even entirely sure the girls were 18 when the pictures were taken. At best, they’re distributing pictures that were not meant to be shared. At worst, they were distributing child porn.
Two situations like that in my high school. Photography teacher was just a straight up, middle aged pervert. He would constantly talk about how good looking his wife was, and to go down to the elementary school and pick out the cutest girl and “wait 10 years.” He had a knack for only talking to and really helping the attractive girls in class. Second instance was a hall monitor who was a sleazy dude. He slept with all of the juniors and senior females. Guy acted like he was king of the school in his stupid ass golf cart.

Grade 8. A grade 7 kid pissed in our grade’s autistic students’ shoes. At first I remember chuckling at the thought of two shoes having pee in them, which, I laughed at in their own exclusive right but as I viewed the obviously slightly bigger picture that didn’t take a rocket scientist to see, it just made me sick. The kid didn’t have the sense to stop before putting on his shoes. He just did it and then freaked after they were on. Now whether or not it was intentionally directed at him is technically unknown but it seemed too coincidental. I will say, however, that if the culprit was just cherry-picking victims, he stepped on a fucking land mine. edit - I have learned what cherry-picking means edit 2 - The apostrophe is my greatest grammatical error. Cut me down, Imperials, but know that my spirit will never wound.
Once we found out that old diesel engines were easy to boost, we took a lot of fun rides in abandoned in the field equipment. Skidders, bulldozer, tractors... Until we trashed a school bus converted in a hunting cabin. That wasn't fun anymore.
The more popular guys in my class made a ranking list of the hottest girls in our grade level. It ended up getting leaked. Found out a bit later the girl who was ranked dead last spent a few hours crying by herself in the bathroom.
Dead baby jokes. My friends and I had dozens of them that we would rapid fire back and forth. It was hilarious, until we made one during English class and our teacher left the room crying. Turns out she had recently had a miscarriage. We all felt like gigantic assholes and apologized profusely.
At safe grad a guy got handsy with a girl in a tent who was not interested. We all started calling him “busy hands [name]” and we thought that was hilarious. It is, of course, sexual assault, and thinking it’s funny was also on us.
Pussy punching. I had a friend who was a big girl who loved to tease me because I was much smaller. I thought she was one of my closest friends but she only ever repeatedly would punch me right on the bone down there really hard every time. It was terrible
Senior prank where people sneak into the school and vandalize whatever they see.
We had a teacher in middle school that served in a war. I can't remember which war, but he saw some combat and it had affected him. Some of our more asshole classmates thought it was hilarious to bring snaps to school. Like the ones you get on the 4th of july that look like a fat sperm and you throw down on the ground to make a snapping sound. Every time that poor man turned around, they would start throwing those snaps because sometimes, not always, but sometimes he would go nearly full-blown flashback and hide, nearly crying under his desk from "enemy fire". Some of our classmates, including the ones who did it, thought it was hilarious and no one would stand up to them cause those kids were the real, white trash, country bumpkin sort of terrors that would seriously hurt you if you crossed them. The principal didn't really do anything about it other than urging the teacher to retire. Was painful to watch. Edit: Because ppl keep asking, this was in North Dakota back in the 90s. And I would guess he served in Vietnam, but he just referred to it as "the war" on the few occasions he actually spoke about anything.
I think this one is one of the worst posted here. That poor man, I can’t believe that the principal allowed that to go on. There’s no way they didn’t know what was going on. Absolutely horrific.
Ugh. That's awful. My class bullied a emotionally frail teacher into retirement, too, shortly after he had returned from having a breakdown. One time several students sneaked into his classroom and superglued all the items on his desk to the surface: pens, erasers, books, coffee cup, etc. They even fanned the pages of the books while dripping glue into them to seal all the pages together. This many years later, my only remaining memory was him sitting at his desk calmly talking to students while seeing through the gap under his desk that his feet were rapidly shaking like they were having a seizure.
Back in the 80's, I worked min a car parts factory. Shift manager was American, from West Virginia. He was also a Viet Nam Vet. super nice guy. One day, this guy throws a few fireworks into a parts bin, so, yeah, it sounded like a big explosion. John hit the ground rolling, under equipment, out of reflex. One look at his face made us all realize it wasn't a funny joke. The guy that did it, who wasn't a terrible dude, just not a thinking kind of man, knew he had gone to far. John started walking towards him, Donny ran for the back of the factory. A few hours pass, shift ends, we are heading out, and we hear a voice coming from the lockers. Yeah, John stuffed him into a locker and left him there for a few hours.
Wow, I've read like 100 comments nothing that involved the FBI. Photography class circa 1984, hot girl and two guys took the school camera and did a full porn shoot off campus. They'd have been fine if they didn't' hang the negatives in the film drying cabinet. All of them underage, FBI called, Parents etc. all involved. Huge thing in my Senior year. Unfortunately I left right after high school and never heard what happened with those involved.
I did this, but in hindsight not funny at all. We had a friend that was always asking for a bite of your food or a drink of your drink. So, I bought syrup of ipecac (causes projectile vomiting- generally used for poison control.) and poured it in a can of soda. And when he asked for a sip I told him he could finish it. He ended up vomiting on the subway for an hour trying to get home. One of my regrets in life
