While films and shows do tend to insert an inordinate amount of drama into high school storylines, many people tend to remember it as a somewhat dull time. However, every now and then, there are some cases of people doing something truly unhinged that ends up becoming a school legend. A netizen asked folks to share incidents from high school they truly could not forget. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own thoughts in the comments below. Be warned, some of these get a bit intense.
@shellrowe Every school has that one incident that they can never forget, pls give me yours HAHAHA 💀 #unhinged #storytime #school ♬ original sound - classicfm

Catholic school… Full of nuns… Someone stole the baby Jesus out of the crib and sent a ransom note to the nuns.
Teachers made girls with short shorts bend forward and measured how short the shorts were. Had a walk out, got other schools and the police involved. Principal got fired
When I was 12yrs, our teacher took the whole class on a trip to a vineyard that was down the road (we walked) to catch her husband having an affair with the owner and have us as witnesses.
Ah yes, of course, because 12-year-olds are famous for being the best, most reliable witnesses
Bio teacher made the students do DNA tests including the teacher and discovered he was the father of one of his students.
We had a teacher confiscate an inhaler off a girl and she ended up having an asthma attack and the teacher thought she was JOKING
In primary school a teacher got fired and jail time for playing a quiz game with pupils called 'sniff & tickle' and if you got the question wrong you would have to let him sniff or tickle your feet.
A man (who had been released from prison that day) was running round our school field wearing NOTHING except a balaclava… whole school went on lockdown
A senior used AI deepfake to generate inappropriate pics of female students(youngest victim is 14) AND only got a really small punishment(same as being late to school)but thats not it, the teacher that handled this case allegedly BLAMED the victims for putting their selfies online so they had to carry this risk?? the school tried shutting the victims too💀
The janitor died of cancer, he always greeted students and faculty everyday so everyone felt his loss. RIP Pepe you were too pure for this world.
My history teacher has survived a kidnapping, saved a man's life, evaded a dog's attack in the dessert, and went across the U.S on a tricycle twice, and has written 5 books.
A dessert attack? I'd be up for that! ;) Or was the dog attacking the dessert?
I live in Newcastle my school went on a school trip to London and accidentally left a student there 😅
My maths teacher had the same surname as me and during a test he said “I’m your dad aren’t I Amy “ I ripped my test up stood up and walked out … my dads dead … he later got done for being a pdfile
Good for you for walking out, and I’m very sorry for the loss of your dad
Our teacher told us to watch human centipede for an ASSIGNMENT.
That's just wrong! I know what the movie's about and I'll never watch it. It's beyond disgusting. I hope the teacher got in big trouble after parents found out!
A recently divorced teacher got fired bc a student made a joke about her having no one on Valentine’s Day and she replied “the only date you’ll ever have is with your right hand”
A 15 year old went missing and eight months later it was revealed that she had indeed ran away with a former teacher and was pregnant with his twins
PE teacher cheated on the english teacher that EVERYONE Loved (AND WITH A STUDENT?? (rumored)) and everyone made his classes a LIVING HELL (deserved)
I went to school with Britains youngest serial k**ler James Fairweather, he was the youngest at the time (2014) & his first victim was k**led 3 mins from my house.
Yikes. Was he named "Most likely to be a serial killer" in the year book?
English teacher went on a “vacation”, was supposed to be a week; nearly 7 months passed without a word. We were without a teacher for a while. Turns out he's in a psych ward.
I'm pleased that the school did its best to maintain his privacy. Hopefully he's okay now, and able to teach again.
This one girlie wrote a confession letter to her crush, but accidentally gave it in as an English assignment. The teacher called her into class and told her he liked her too.
There were rumours about the religion teacher and a student. Everyone thought it was odd. Well, we graduated… a few years later they pop up married with a kid.
Head teacher ‘left’ (was fired) for stealing money to get a mole on his face removed. The mole grew back
One of my math teachers thought it would be a good idea to show the human centipede 2 to a bunch of year 7's on the last day of school and all the parents kicked off and got him sacked.
when I was 13, a crazy 50 yo male janitor kidnapped me because he was "in love" with me and finally when they got me home safe, I had Stockholm syndrome
Year 11’s used to get a “free last day” to do whatever on our last ever day of school. it got stopped after our year cause some lads tied a year 7 boy to a tree and left him there.
I'm pretty sure "free last day" didn't include illegal or dangerous behaviour.
A kid in 9th grade dies every 3 years, chain has not been broken, last year it was a kid in a motorcycle accident.
Sounds like the 27 Club to me. Humans always look for a pattern, to explain the inexplicable.
One of our teachers had an affair with a student who turned 18 while having a wife. He got the wife and student pregnant at the same time, and now both their kids are in the daycare
So, a married teacher had an affair with a student who'd just turned 18. He got her and his wife pregnant at the same time and now their kids go to daycare together.
A girl had an accident at our school and the school bully told everyone she had died when she hadn’t. She then did die and the bully tweeted ‘I told you so’ 💀
A girl gave birth in the bathroom and no one knew she was pregnant(the baby💀btw)
Watched a softball teacher get arrested for having an affair with a kid a grade below me. His dad found their text messages and other kids started coming forward about her actions towards them.
Why, because there are so men who play a woman's sport? lmao

it was a teacher affair but one of the students suspected it, left her phone recording in the class during lunch &caught it all on video. His wife worked on the opposite wing of the school btw
my school hired a bunch of nuns to teach us religion and they made us all watch the passion of the christ as a bunch of 4th graders
French art school. A guy ate a full plate of his own sh*t as performative art. He got a 20/20 grade and then was send to a mental hospital. The teacher was sued yet win his trial and is still there.
That's a 15/20 grade at best. 20/20 is when you eat someone else's s**t
Ceramics teacher got arrested during school hours cuz he kept a camera in his private bathroom and let the girls who were in the swim team change there - they found over 500 hours of footage ✨
We had a police officer come into school to explain the dangers of online and not to send “photos” to people or talk to older men/women few years later her got arrested for child prawn on his devices
Need punctuation marks. Doesn't schools teach people about punctuation marks anymore?
In year 8, some boys locked the French teacher in the resources cupboard and started passing her items under the door like she was on Big Brother. One of the boys said to her “do a task and we’ll let you out,” and slid her a glue stick and a potato. She started screaming “I’m not an animal!” while another lad was narrating it as if off an episode of david Attenborough.
My professor stole the idea of my thesis and the entire chapter 1 to 2. He then failed me on the class so I wouldn’t be able to publish the thesis then proceeded to present the thesis in his Master’s.
MY SCHOOL HAS DRAMAAA! So basically, I was in year 6 at the time, and there was this teacher, lets just call him Mr. Dog. One day, police barged into this grade 3 class he was teaching as ARRESTED him on the stop, infront of all the kids. We later found out that the reason he was arrested and going to court was because he had been taking photos of the young kids changing and had alot of ch1ld 🌽 on his phone. Apparently he had up to 200 IMAGES! This whole thing ended up on the news and Mr. Dog had to go to court. He was originally meant to be in court with my friend’s mum, but since she had a relationship with that person, she couldn’t. I don’t know what’s happenend with him now, but all I know is that he isn’t allowed to teach anymore and MIGHT be in jail. (He should be.)
Teacher had an affair with his student/best friend’s (who also teaches at the school) daughter , divorced his wife and married her when she graduated 😬
a girl got bullied, didnt come to school, and when the dad complained and the students came to apologise the father threatened to sh00t them. the mom knew this would happen so she hid the bullets
An RS teacher got suspended after a video went up on YouTube of him and his class dancing to the Harlem shake with a cardboard cutout of the pope
One of the teachers was found guilty of being inappropriate with a bunch of kids and the night before he went to jail, the other teachers threw him a “going away” party
In year 11 we had a scandal where someone was being ‘A’ on Twitter and posting all the secrets of everyone in our year!! The school threatened to cancel prom if they didn’t come forward!!! 🤣
My Spanish teacher locked a student in a cupboard..
One of my teachers did that too. When the bell rang, he yelled, "Nobody move, I can't find the key!" So, we all looked for the key until he found it... in the back pocket of his jeans. The student in question was the class clown, he found it all hilarious and liked to joke that he almost didn't come out of the closet.
a guy was using the bathroom and looked down and saw a camera and when he reported it apparently another student had been recording everyone in the guys bathroom using the bathroom
So happened with the student filming other students? Did he get suspended or arrested?
there was a love square between 4 teachers i mean 2 teachers married and 2 other teachers married and they cheated on each other and i asked one of them why there were crying and told me everything
One time this one kid got in trouble so bad a substitute teacher duck taped him to a desk and nobody did anything. The kid was crying and screaming and couldn’t leave after dismissal.
So the teacher just left him there duct taped to the desk? The teacher should have walked him to the principal office.
Special Ed teacher was arrested, sent to prison, divorced, and lost her kids. For exactly what you think.
we had a girl casually bring an 8inch kitchen knife in, stuffed in her blazer pocket. apparently she held it against ppl. worst part, she didn't get done for it, js sent to behavioural school.
A child a few years ago brought a steak knife to school (blade was about 15cm, or 6 inches, long) and was threatening two little girls in his class with it. When I reported it, he told me, the department head, the deputy and the principal different stories as to why he had it at school. I think he only got a demerit. The two little Indian (ethnically; we're all South African) girls were terrified.
In middle school my art teacher was having relations with a student, like inviting her to his house, having sleepovers etc. when the school found out both the teacher and the student vanished
A few of these don't sound real. Forty years ago, when I was a high school, we had vivid imaginations, and made shīt up to impress our friends. But we didn't have the internet, back then.
It’s bizarre the most believable ones are all grooming or a*****t
Load More Replies...Based on the sad, poorly written posts, it is safe to say that there is no longer an "education system".
we had a b0mb threat at our high school every friday for 7 weeks one year. someone would call it in (always at lunch time bc eff all of us trying to eat) theyd evacuate us and bus us all home. after the third time they started sending us to the track field instead of home. as far as i know they never found out who was behind it. the running joke became asking everyone if they had their lunch bag with them bc no way were we going to get to the cafeteria on fridays
I remember one time in highschool our German teacher was a haulocaust survivor she even had the tatoo on her wrist. Some one drew a giant swastica on the chalk board and she ran out of the class screaming in horror
Boarding school in the 80s. We were all woken early, told to get dressed (in normal school uniform) and sent on a cross country run in the rain. As soon as we'd gone police descended on the place. Never saw the headmaster again, he got tipped off and did a runner. And that's when I understood that "büm chum" was a very literal euphemism.
That one teacher would work for a couple of weeks then she'd be on sick leave for several weeks. Rinse and repeat. The official reason was that she had depression, everyone believed it because she always sounded a bit... disconnected in class. In reality, her son was a w*ed grower and seller, she'd rather spend her days smoking on her couch than deal with students. Only the st*ners knew the truth, and they kept their mouths closed because her son would give them a discount.
I'm a teacher myself. In my current school about five months ago, two staff members got into a punch-up in a crowded canteen. Staff quickly evacuated the students while others tried in vain to break up the fight. Both are still working there.
So i grew up attending (at the time) the best public school district in the whole of the US. Very rich, very snobby town (which we were not) Mr.J well call him, was everyone's favorite teacher. He'd been teaching in the district for 35 years. He taught CAD, photoshop and computer science after school and during free periods for anyone who wanted to sign up, he ran an electronics repair club AND gaming club after school (in the late 90's no less) Amazing teacher, everyone adored him. Half way through my 8th grade year, we got a transfer student...we'll call her H. H...had been held back a year, so she was the most "developed" girl in the grade. She was also dumb as post, a compulsive liar and attained validation by being the school's "bicycle" (anyone who wanted it got a ride) So when she was in danger of failing Mr.J's class, which would have held her back again....so she made an accusation! continued.....
Except the time she claimed the incident to have taken place (during detention in his room) there were a dozen other students that....and she was not, she was with a group of other kids across town. She was never alone with him, because he was never alone with any single student...other teachers came forward detailing the inappropriate things H had said to them. Her "friends" called out her blatant BS, as did every other student. But her parents were lawyers, and loaded....threats were made and Mr.J got fired. Students were outraged, the other teachers were outraged. Students demonstrated in support of Mr.J every single day demanding he get his job back....to no avail. Until the following year when H....tried to sing the same BS again, in HS. The HS was covered with security camera's....so this time it was easy to prove she was full of $hit. Mr. J then sued the school for wrongful termination, sued the girls parents for a host of things....and walked away a multimillionaire.
Load More Replies...I still remember my art teacher in year eight telling the guys on camp that he wanted to see “their wet, naked bodies out here now”. He might have meant it innocently, but I dropped art as soon as I could cos I was grossed out. Edit: Rather expensive private school.
A lot of these were lame. Here's my 2 HS scandals from the 80's: 1) the discovery of certain illegal plants growing around the perimeter at the field biology worksite (happened every few years up there), and 2) the jazz band was gifted recording time and use of a state-of-the-art recording studio....at the studios owned by the Scientology people. The locals lost their minds, the band didn't see a problem, and the controversy lasted years. The locals and the Scientology people were already at odds over their handling of the property they built their studios at; they'd let the golf course dry up and people with golf-course homes were suing; issues with accessing public land, etc. Anyways, it was a Really Big Deal.
One of the male HS gym teachers was infamous for looking down girls' swimsuits during swim class. Every girl in the school knew to keep her chest under the water level and fold her arms when he came by. No one ever reported it, sadly. Just another aspect of school for us.
A gym teacher at our high school started dating an 18 year-old cheerleader, got her pregnant and they married. Another teacher was having seggs with multiple male students and tried to get with a friend of mine. She even bought him the book "The Joy of Seggs" and wrote in it how much she wanted to try some of the things in there with him. Her husband was a city Councilman. She was arrested and fired, he resigned in disgrace.
I loathed my school, they were just lucky I wasn't a firestarter!
