When I was in primary school, we were only allowed to write in blue or black ink. One time, my teacher yelled at me for writing in "purple ink". The ink I was using was actually dark blue, but she ignored me when I told her that. I basically got in trouble because my teacher was blue- purple colour blind.

Trigger Warning

My father put his hand on my thigh while I was sitting on the couch.

I moved away so he no longer could from where he was sitting on the ground.

He moved his hand FURTHER UP my thigh than where it had been.

I reflexively (very gently) slapped his hand off of my leg, out of fear.

My mom started yelling at me. Later, she said that I should have “gently removed his hand with a smile.” She also said it was my fault for staying in shape (from MARTIAL ARTS, which I do so this sort of thing doesn’t happen.)

Now, my mom is still mad about what I did, and I do not speak to my dad.

So this girl in my class was the teacher's pet ( my math teacher)

and she would try to get us all in trouble

( by the way we all hated her so we didn't really care at this point)


so this one time I was doing my work and this son of a b**** told the teacher I was using a pen and the teacher actually believed it

after that she called my mom and my mom actually spanked me because she believed it as well.

Every time I went to my math teachers class I would always eyeball her

moral of the story is don't trust anyone especially the teacher's pet

I was driving, my mind in another world, when I got pulled over by a policeman. He was sightly irate, said he had been following me for a mile.
I said, "I didn't hear your siren".
Reply: only had my lights on.
"What did I do?" For no known reason I was scared to the point of
brainless.
My license plate had expired!
I am grateful to that policeman. Certainly, not for the fear he instilled, but for reminding me to be attentive to my driving. I never forgot.

If this is true and you drove a mile without seeing flashing red and blue lights in either your rearview or either side mirror, you shouldn't be driving. Officer was justified to be irate. A driver that oblivious is a danger to others and I don't wish to share a road with you.

Y'all remember that they closed all the schools on March 13? Well, 2 days before March 13 I felt really sick so I went to get my temp checked. Well, my temp was like 97 which was weird. The nurse told me to keep coming back after every class. I told one of my teachers and she said "Well if ur sick ur temp should be going up!" She went and had a huge conversation and probably argument with the nurse. I later felt very nauseous and threw up in the toilet. Well, since no one saw it except about 10 girls I couldn't go home. I had the flu I gave half of my class the flu because they wouldn't let me go home. Because, I wasn't there on March 13 I couldn't get any of my stuff out of my locker until the summer... thanks Mrs. Kassens

Once, I and my sister had a little dispute outside (no idea what it was, probably something stupid), but anyway, I decided to go inside because she was, like, screaming at me.

-So, around this time, I had a habit of locking the door when I went inside the house because my parents would get annoyed when I didn't.-

As I was going inside, I L O C K E D the door, and my lazy ass stepdad, sitting on the couch, got up and was like- "I saw that whole argument going on outside there!" "You wanted to lock the door to get back at her!"
And I, VERY CALMLY, tried to explain to him that I sometimes do that. People make mistakes. But NO. He had to DRAG the whole thing on and make it even more of a problem by blaming me for something that wasn't really my fault.
He then proceeded to send me up to my room and SCREAM at me for 45 straight minutes.

Keep in mind that my stepdad was also pretty annoying and was clearly trying to mess around in places that he did not have authority in. He also gave me odd vibes.

very off topic but once, he took my sister to one of those "Daddy-daughter" dances (when my father had asked to go with her) because my mom thought that it would be a nice "bonding time"
She refused to dance with him and both of my parents got really pissed off at her. Made me pretty mad.

I was young but I still remember this really vividly.. I was maybe 4 or something, and I had got into trouble for saying something cheekily, I didn’t even say anything cheeky, apparently it was the way I said it, I can’t remember what exactly. We had a ‘time out step’ at my home and my dad sent me there, which was reasonable. However, I had a cat soft toy that I was very attached to, I literally carried it everywhere. My dad took the soft toy away and got mad at me when I started crying. I stayed there for about half a hour, crying, not because I was in trouble but because of the soft toy incident. He isn’t as strict anymore, but my dad was quite strict, and would sometimes grab me by my wrist and drag me, for example if I was taking too long.

For taking the dog to the vet and saving his life.

I was 15 and our dog was clearly sick, trembling and in pain. My father is an abusive jerk and he decided that the dog was fine. After a couple of hours of begging and arguing with him (my mum agreed with me but she is a coward and never supported me) he forbid me to take the dog to the vet. So I left the house with the dog to pay with my own money. My father followed me and grabbed me, trying to pull me back home but I got rid of my jacket and kept going with the dog. At the end he just followed me to the vet. It turns out that the dog ate something poisonous and was in a lot of pain. Not only I never got an apology from either of my parents but also my father started mentioning to everybody how "I scaped from home" and how bad a daughter I was. I cannot hate him more, he abused me verbally for years, he only touched me that time. I am still hurt that my mother never defended me a single time.

So I got pissed and raised my voice a bit. This was probably my fault.

The teacher, who was talking to the "popular" girls (who were the teacher's pets,) in an obnoxiously loud voice, looked up at me and said "[my name], WE ARE IN INDEPENDENT WORK TIME, NO TALKING."

1. I was whistling. Got taken to the principal for it.
2. Something personal fell out of my book. It was a piece of paper where I wrote about a student who was an absolute piece of s**t to me, and never got in trouble, bc I was too shy to tell anyone. This student found it and got me in trouble for it.

In relationship with a bipolar narcissist so I could write a book...
1) cleaning our bedroom and throwing away 4 year old magazines he never was gonna look at = Full blown temper tantrum with various things thrown at me.

2) I repositioned the blanket and "took his warm spot"= most ridiculous fight I have ever been in.

3) he said something really dumb and I apparently made a face... I'm not allowed to react to dumb things he says.

4) Pretty much doing or saying anything he doesn't like or challenging him in any way...

I have only one question to ask. Why are you in a relationship with said bipolar narcissist? If you still are, break up. Heal. Be free. He is NEVER going to change or make up for it.

In middle school, I had a huge crush on the class bad boy. He was always getting demerits and detentions, and at one point was going to be suspended for a week if he got into more trouble.
I tried to take the blame for him doing some stupid prank, but I was such a good girl that the teacher didn't believe me. He got suspended and I got detention for trying to cover for him.

A friend and I were at the school yard right by my house, and we were hitting baseballs around. The school yard was enclosed by a wooden snow fence (this was back in the '70's). We got the brilliant idea of hitting the snow fence with our bats and seeing who could make the chunks of wood fly the furthest. We must have been having too much fun and forgot what time it was 'cause my mom walked up to get us and saw us in action. No "time outs" back then!

So basically my mom was forcing my brother, my sister, and me to go on a walk but my aunt ended up showing up at our house and she was actually going to the mall so my mom said change of plans were going to the mall now and since my brother didn't even want to go on a walk he definitely didn't want to go to the mall so he and my mom ended up having an argument and my brother stayed at home and didn't go to the mall with us. My mom was so mad that the whole time we were at the mall and on our way to and back from the mall my mom was talking about kicking out my brother just because he didn't come with us (keep in mind my brother is 12y.o).

Got in trouble in middle school for swearing...I said "Rats!" after dropping my pizza slice on the ground on school trip. My teacher's rationale was "You said that instead of a swear so it just as bad." I followed it up with "Well that's F***ing stupid." And had to sit on the bus for the rest of the trip. It taught me not to bother censoring if I was going to get in trouble either way, began swearing a lot more after that...

I got in trouble for hitting a kid lightly with a drumstick ( We were in band class) when he was hitting my best friend harder than I hit him. After I hit him I ran away. He hit probably as hard as he could. We both got sent to the principal's office. I had a quarter-sized welt on my back from him. I still got in trouble for hitting him, I got 1 day of In-School Suspension (ISS) And he got 1 and 1/2 days!!

For bringing water bottles in school. I was about 15 and got (my first and most horrible) bladder infection. I had to take giant antibiotics every 4 hours and had to drink as much water as I could while also going to the bathroom often. I came to school with my meds and 4 large bottles of water. I followed the rules and took my meds to the nurse. About 2nd period hit and I needed the water. I pulled a bottle out of my bookbag and started gulping. Everyone started staring at me. My teacher was furious. I had no idea what I was doing wrong. Apparently, the yr prior a girl brought in water bottles full of vodka, and from that point on water bottles weren't allowed in classes ever. I was told I should be using water fountains. I was told I can only use the bathroom out of class twice a day bladder infection or not. I was told out of class water fountain fountain trips were twice a day as well. So I ended up staying home from school and damned near had to go to court for truancy. *shrug*

You should have taken it to court. Your doctor would have vouched for you, and your parents would have backed up your reason for staying home. It's not truancy if you have a valid reason, and your school was too stupid to understand and accomodate your needs.

Well, I dunno but I don't think I coulda gotten better than a 100 on my honors Pre-Calc midterm. My mom told me that "I should have done better" when I told her about it.

Not me, but my friend.
There was a guy who was thumping his hands against his chest really hard. He hit her so she poked him in the chest with the eraser of the pencil. SHE GOT DETENTION. Also, the same guy pushed her down the stairs of the school (we have really steep stairs) and he didn’t get in trouble. Bonus one: There was a guy in middle school who had hated my guts since I came out as non-binary to my class. He was talking loudly behind my back about how I almost gave him rabies, the teacher heard him and he didn’t get in trouble.

I'd just switched schools and I knew nobody except for one girl trying to be 'popular' whom I'd made friends with, and she invited me to this sort of 'picnic' where there would be awesome snacks and we would make slime. Eager to get to know some people, I volunteered to bring the food coloring for the slime. We made the slime on the cafeteria tables, everything went great. Fast forwards to the short recess after lunch, we're heading to the track to eat some food when the teacher came up and told us the principal wanted to speak with us. We were obviously confused, since we'd cleaned up after ourselves (so we thought). It turned out we hadn't and the younger grades had waited for ten minutes for the custodian to clean up our mess. Thankfully, my parents to this day have no inkling of it, but to put a long story short, I got in trouble for trying to make friends with the 'it' crowd

I got in trouble for no reason:
So I was in class doing some assignment where I had to rotate around to the different tables. And one table was full and a girl cried because there was no space for her to sit at the table, so everyone is like blaming me for some reason and people are telling the teacher that "I took her seat" when nobody sat at that table before. Then the teacher took me into the hallway to talk-- she obviously doesn't believe me and gets me in trouble. ((I swear people are out to get me))

It wasn't working, so we just sat and chatted for a minute or so, and we were laughing because my teacher made a joke about the SMartboard not working (completely forgot what the joke was :P). I commented saying, "Is it a dumb board?" and that was a big mistake. My teacher gasped and asked us who said that. I told her it was me, and she shook her head with a dirty look. I have no clue why! I was very near her, so she couldn't have misheard me and thought I was cussing or something, so I don't understand! xd

My sister and I had this large rubber spider with real fur on it that we got out of a gumball machine as kids. We would hide it in each other's room from time to time---desk drawer, closet, etc. Saturday was sheets-washing day so I was making beds and put the spider in sister's bed. Later that day, we got a call that a grandma was coming to stay the night. My sister's room was upstairs and mine was in the finished basement, so hers was the guest room. I totally forgot about the spider!! So at bedtime, she and I are in my room and we hear dad yelling for her at top of stairs. First and Middle Name!! She went running. Two seconds later, I hear my name yelled. First and Middle! When I got up there, my unhappy dad was holding the rubber spider in his fingers. "Why did you put this in Grandma's bed?!!!!!" So I had to explain that I had meant to put it in my sister's bed...... Anyway, Grandma was not mad.....

Second thing, same Grandma. After we moved to Florida, when I was a teen, she flew down to stay with us for a week. Mom was at work and I was home from school for a break. I was to spend time with Grandma. Well, I found the movie Piranha was on tv so we watched that. When mom came home, she asked how our day went. She wasn't that thrilled when I told her what movie I picked, but Grandma was fine with my choice and said she enjoyed it.

I was in class one day and my teacher called attendance, but she did not call my name. After she took attendance she called out my name, asking why I was late, I said I was not late and that I got here before she started attendance. She then asked me what time I got there and I said 10:30, she then proceeded to tell me that class started at 10:29 and that it was unacceptable to be late to her class. I was getting fed up, so I told her all the reasons I was right, and why I should not be tardy... I got called absent in class...

I and about 15 other girls form my school were so late that morning, but that didn't stop us from being dragged into the principle's office and being yelled at. We all told her what had happened. Even a teacher who lived out our way saw what happened and told the principle what had happened. It didn't make any difference though.
