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

    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.)

    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.
