Someone Wonders “What Was ‘The Incident’ In Your High School?” And 30 People Give Interesting And Insane Stories
Nothing compares to the good old high school days. The paradox of that careless era was that even if you didn’t particularly enjoy it at that time, the chances are, you still carry vivid memories that you cherish throughout your life.
It was a time of exploration and learning unlike any other. It is when most of us made lifelong friends, fell in love for the first time, learned valuable lessons and grew into the person we are today. It is also when we had to deal with college pressures and future anxiety, which was an important rehearsal for adulthood.
So when someone asked on Reddit “What was 'the incident' in your high school?” it resonated with too many people and turned into one hell of a read similar to the adventures of Napoleon Dynamite. Below we wrapped up some of the craziest stories, so pull your seat closer, everyone!

During lunch if you picked up trash and turned it in to the yard attendant you would get a dime per piece. One kid did it religiously, every lunch, and was tormented and bullied the whole time. Kids would knock the trash out of his hands, push him over when he picked it up, call him all sorts of names, they were relentless. Than in Junior year, he bought a '66 mustang.
Not an incident really, but I still have respect for that kid.
Principal found weed in the boys bathroom. Called an assembly and told us we had to vote for who we think it was. I think the principals son got like 98% of the votes. Suddenly the voting system wasn't valid.
We didn't even coordinate it, everyone had the same idea at once and it was glorious
During my senior year, the biggest fight of my school career broke out in one of the main hallways during class change. I don't think a single student in attendance that afternoon wasn't packed like a sardine somewhere in that hall. We were going absolutely nuts; jumping, screaming, chanting "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT." Riot mode at this point, really. It was impossible to see who was fighting, much less break it up or make your way through. Principal realized that fairly quickly and called the police to send help. About 10-15 mins later, 10 officers show up and bust through the crowd within seconds only to find 2 students sitting criss cross on the floor playing a few rounds of rock em sock em robots. Senior prank of the century... absolutely hilarious and 100% safely executed. Quality senior prank!
Not high school but I remember in elementary school, we got put on lockdown because someone thought there was a rabid fox on the field. It was a fat orange cat.
Senior year we received our yearbooks the week of graduation and to our surprise the full page action shot for men's soccer showcased our player jumping up and lifting one leg to trap and control the ball. Unfortunately, he forgot to wear underwear that game and the tip of his weiner was fully visible sticking out of the bottom of his shorts.
Our school had over 4,000 students and we were required to bring our yearbook in to security to have the d**k sharpied over or we would not be able to walk at graduation.
I went to a private school where you weren't allowed to have your phone on you. One day the vice principal bursts into a classroom and says in a panic "quick, I need to use someone's phone!" 10 kids got detention and their phones confiscated.
Screw you Mr. Kiefer
When I was in high school, our hick town school had a “gang” called the Cobras who would spray paint “Cobras” on school property, write it on desks, in the bathrooms, basically everywhere. It’s was dumb and many of the students had a good idea who was a part of this “gang” but the teachers didn’t.
The principal would call down groups for photos in the year book (siblings, sports teams, drama club, etc) on overhead announcements, and one day they called down the Cobras for a school photo for the yearbook, to try and figure out who they were. They caught almost half the students who were defacing school property because they showed up for the “group photo”.
So every school has their weird kid. Were going to call my schools weird kid T. Everyone knew him, and knew something was off. He was an angry kid. But otherwise functional, was in band, normal classes. But was really weird. Some examples: got mad and broke a window in a practice room, was found butt naked in the room the color guard girls kept their things, threatened people etc. But we never actually hurt anyone. He was actually very kind to me. Well our senior year he said he had a big surprise for the last day of classes. Half the school didnt show up honestly expecting him to bring a gun or something. Low and behold T shows up to school in a dress, and a wig, and makeup with a new name. Totally normal sweet girl now, waitress, nice, youd never know.
Tl/dr: we thought the weird kid was gonna kill us but instead he came to school as a girl.
We were all called to an emergency assembly and told a student had died... Her friends were distraught and even the people who didn't know her went quiet. I think I remember a group of students putting together a type of memorial card. The whole morning was morbid... Until the 'dead girl' arrived at school and didn't know what was going on.
We never had a school camp, because the last time they held one, three students got pregnant
At my high school, seniors had to do a senior project. Can be anything really. Just plan it out and follow through.
A very popular and well liked senior made an end of day announcement that tomorrow morning he'd be in the student parking lot working on it and needs as many other folks there as possible.
The next day he drives into the student parking lot, setup a tripod and a camera. A large crowd gathered round, just about 30 mins before the first bell. He hit record, thanks everyone for showing. Then he reached into his car pulled out a handgun and killed himself before anyone could react.
No one knows why. He was a great guy with a bright future. Never know what struggles others are going through. I think about it frequently and take that into consideration to try and be nice to others with random acts of kindness.
This happened in grade school but a moose escaped a local zoo and somehow made its way to our school yard during our recess. We were all rushed inside and the school was put into a lockdown situation until the moose left the yard.
One guess what country I’m from.
Edit: Anyone who guessed Canada is right, I feel like there’s nothing more canadian than almost getting mowed down by a moose
* During one of the semi-formal dances of the year (not Prom) some school official thought it would be a GREAT idea to screen the underwear choices of the girls attending, for "morality purposes" because thongs were of the Devil. Their GREAT plan for implementation was to literally pull girls aside from the ticket line and just lift up their skirts. Right there. No curtain, no other room, nothing, just right in front of the gym doors. While EVERYBODY ELSE was in line, able to SEE. This was a NYTimes quote: "said one parent called her to report that a teacher had pulled a girl's top to see if she was wearing a bra."
And then there was the Lore: Why Can't Seniors Leave Campus for Lunch.
Seniors with cars used to be able to leave to get fast food. This was discontinued because some JACKASSES went to the local daycare center up the hill (like a 15 minute walk away) and started flashing their genitals at the children.
There had been rumors since my freshman year about the assistant principal taking a certain "special interest" in a few of the girls. Almost everyone wrote it off as high school kids starting stupid rumors.
Until my senior year.
When four police officers came in after school and walked him out in cuffs in front of a few hundred students watching a basketball game against another school.
He was f*****g one of the girls in my grade and selling her oxycodone in the hallways. Got 10 years.
Like when the rather handsome grounds keeper at my high school got busted with a year ten student..oops
oh man..
One time this kid i was friends with brought this hot sauce called Da Bomb(1.5million scoville units, hotter than hell) to high school and let a bunch of kids try it during lunch, i mean atleast 30 kids. Some kids really started freaking out because that s**t is ridiculously hot, like you’re supposed to add one or two drops to a big batch of chili to make it spicy. Some were trying to show off and took a swig of it and ended up vomiting everywhere from the heat/panic. Multiple kids had to go to the nurse and be sent home because they way overdid it, although i think most just really had no idea what a scoville unit was or that they made hot sauce that was that ridiculously hot. It was chaos. I tried it as well, a dime size amount, and I couldn’t concentrate on anything but chugging milk. And i’m really good with spicy foods! Finally the principal came on the intercom and said “Whoever brought the hot sauce please..just stop..” My friend got into some pretty big trouble for that one.
A football player with the last name ‘Parham’ got punished for some s**t and was no longer allowed to walk the stage for graduation.
One day, a friend of his pulled up in a truck outside of the cafeteria during lunch, slammed on the brakes, jumped out, and proceeded to sprint inside.
He streaked through half the cafeteria with a spider-man mask on and “Free Parham” painted on his bare a*s. Staff tried to grab him and stop him, and despite him literally slipping on a piece of food and falling, he escaped valiantly - as any hero should.
Eventually, Parham was once again allowed to walk the stage, although I’m sure the stunt wasn’t the only reason for it.
A girl in her final year got pregnant and was hiding it from her parents. She was 18 at the time though. She went to the counsellor (qualified clinical psychologist) who was helping her through it. The counsellor walked her through all of her options and did what she was supposed to do.
The girl (I think possibly in denial) carried the baby to quite far along but then wanted out. She was also starving herself.
Long story short (I also can't remember all the exact details) she apparently went to a dodgey clinic where she convinced them she was much earlier in the pregnancy (guessing they did no tests) and they gave her abortions pills or something like that (like I said - can't remeber the exact deets so don't crucify me).
She started profusely bleeding in class the next day and was rushed to hospital. The baby survived for about 4 hours and then passed away. Obviously by his point her parents were there. Upon questioning she named out school counsellor and said that she had forced her to have an abortion. This whole case went to court. Our poor school counsellor could not say anything or defend herself publically until the case was done. We had reporters outside our school gates for ages.
It all came out at the end that the girl had lied and the counsellor was completely innocent and had just done what she was supposed to do and had offered the girl all the information and advice for her to make an informed decision. I was amazed at how professional the counsellor was and how she did everything by the book when it came to speaking about her client.
Anyway, that was crazy.
I was a teacher and a very good kid just got pushed to his limit by a bully teacher (had been bullied by this guy for a couple of years; never did find out what was up with that).
So bully teacher says something to the kid, he runs out to his car, grabs a crowbar and comes in smashing all the glass he encountered (it was safety glass but lots of shards anyway). Tries to go after the teacher to kill him. He got trapped in the library (the classroom was located in a small classroom off the library) and I was right next door, keeping kids in their seats and unable to go to the bathroom for about 90 minutes. Cops began arriving from all directions since we were right off two state highways. State cops, canine cops, etc. Kid destroyed all the beautiful 1940's oak shelving, teacher's desk, anything that would break. His mom shows up and disarms him. Kid gets slammed on a stretcher and hauled off to the nearby AFB, where his dad worked.
Not sure exactly what all happened there but he got a lifetime ban from being at the high school and a serious restraining order from ever contacting or being near the bully teacher.
I liked the kid, never had once tiny bit of trouble with him. Saw him a couple of months later and asked him to please tell me if he was ever mad at me. He laughed.
Kid was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder. Went on to be a good adult. He'd just kind of lost it that day.
I did not know that the kid was being bullied until the s**t hit the fan; then kids told me the whole story. There was nothing I could do except offer words of support to his girlfriend and then be nice to him when I saw him again. As a victim of lifetime bullying (not school but family), I know the damage it can cause.
As far as bullies go, I called them out in my classroom whenever I knew what was going on. But if you know anything about bullies, they tend to do these things at times/places that teachers don't see. We can't stop what we don't witness. Sadly, many/most victims do not report until the situation has reached critical mass.
So what happened to the teacher? Kid who was bullied by a person in power for -years- gets a restraining order and a life time ban from the school but the bully teacher gets what?
A teacher in my high school walked into the unisex bathroom because someone reported that two kids went into it together. He walked in, found nobody in there, and as he walked out the two kids fell from the ceiling completely naked and onto the floor in front of him.
The schools library had huge impressive displays of taxidermy. A huge collection that started well over a hundred years ago. Truly a sight to behold.
Anyways someone smashed a window and f****d a badger.
The boys made a “would f**k”-list rating us girls from 1-100 in excel. Full names and all. More than 200 girls listed, It had a “did already f**k and this is my rating”-column and was adjusted continuously.. Accidentally spread bc one boys GF thought he was cheating and checked his phone. Went on for quite a long time. Huge case. Went national
The kids at my school did something like that. Had code names for every girl in their year
Which.
Guy takes massive s**t off the top floor of a massive stairwell.
Same stairwell, someone drops a pressurised can of soda cracking open a teachers skull.
Someone brought in a decommissioned WW1 authentic stick grenade. The entire school was evacuated onto 1 yard for 4 hours while bomb squad were on their way.
Our schools councillor who took kids out of lessons to help with low self-esteem committed suicide. That one's a bit sad tbh.
Drama teacher got arrested for convincing 2 14 year old students to have sex while he watched and he still works there.
And a music teacher got sacked for coming in drunk... Twice.
I love lower class Britain.
I would like to know what was taught in the drunk teacher's lesson
Ours was a sad one.
Our boys basketball team was traveling home from a game in inclement weather. The van caught some slush and lost control into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer.
The coach was driving and survived. He lost his wife and 7 students. A very sad tragedy.
Damn. Hopefully he has recovered from the incident and the casualties are at peace T_T
2 guys in my year decided to bring about 50 cabbages in to school and start a cabbage fight in the science corridor. All hell broke loose and cabbage leaves everywhere. About 100 students joined in lol
Edit: You most certainly can have 100 students and 50 cabbages in a cabbage fight. (Check the cabbage fight rulebook. Lol jokes). It wasn't a case where 100 students were already there and waiting. The 2 guys just randomly started the cabbage fight at break time and the students who were already in the corridor began to join in. Cabbages started to break. Other students heard the commotion and then joined in. Picking up lumps of cabbage. So on and so forth.
One of the students ditched highschool one day and rode his dirt bike really fast in front of the school popping a wheely while the school was still in session. He wiped out and slid and hit his head on a light pole and died right in front of the school across the street. Really sad and super crazy.
Edit: this was in Bakersfield California. It's crazy how many other places this has happened. Also, no helmet was involved that I'm aware of. A few people have mentioned the light pole, it can also be called a lamp post, or lightpole, sheesh. The pole received all kinds of attention after. People writing notes on it, people leaving flowers and lighters and so on. It was really weird. I wouldn't want to be remembered by what killed me, but I think a lot of students didn't have anywhere else to mourn him.
I saw a kid bash his head open at the skate park when I was like 9. Puddle of blood, brain matter... it was f****d.
One of the girls in my grade made cupcakes with c*m (from a guy friend of hers), hair, and toenails baked into them. She brought them to school and gave them to the people who bullied her. My sister had PE with some of the people who ate the cupcakes and needless to say they were NOT happy.
We had like five fire drills in a month because teachers kept making popcorn in the microwave in the teachers lounge, eventually they got banned from making popcorn. Not the most interesting thing ever but it was pretty funny at the time
pffft- either the microwave is broken or they’re just reallyyyy bad at making popcorn
A plane crashed into my high school, and they had to rebuild like half the school.
A plane crashed into my back yard one morning just as I returned from dropping the kids at school, I was on the toilet at the time. I thought a truck had lost control on the street, sped down the driveway and smashed into the house.. that’s was the noise sounded like to me, it kept getting louder and louder and then BANG! He was flying g very low when he crash landed. What a shock when I went outside and found nothing, until I took a few steps and looked towards the back of the yard, a plane on the fence, held there by trees. I was expecting to see dead bodies, but it was just the pilot onboard going off to work. He was shaky and couidn’t walk further than out to the wing. But he was not broken. I called the ambulance and held an umbrella over the pilot as it was a hot day The one and only fatality was a bird, found when the crane drivers came that afternoon to clear the wreck. You’d be surprised how quickly those guys can cut up a plane and take it away.
My high school had a decade themed talent show every year. They would do it in our auditorium which had a orchestra pit underneath part of the stage. Close to the end of the show a lot of people went out on the stage and started dancing, and the stage collapsed. Only a couple people were hurt, but one of my friends broke his pelvis and had to be in a wheelchair for a while. It must been a slow day for the news because it made all the way to the BBC, and Tosh.O did a bit on it.
Ooooh, did Tosh make horrible, callous comments about the folks injured? He's very good at that. At being an a*****e.
This kid was doing pull ups on a door frame in our wood shop and some of his friends thought it would be funny to place a pipe bender under his a*s. When he finished his pull ups and dropped off the frame, the pipe bender went straight up his butt and tore his r****m open. Kid didn't graduate cause he spent so much time in the ER and now he has to s**t in a bag.
Someone called in a bomb threat to my middle school and elementary School. Instead of evacuating both buildings we were in lockdown for three hours and they condensed all of us in the middle school. We later evacuated to the high school only like 300 feet away and were stuck there for hours because our parents couldn't get to us. All of our phones were taken because they "didn't want us giving information" so there were like 700 white moms in suburbans simultaneously having a heart attack trying to get to the school.
We learned later they called this in to almost every school in the area.
There was a robbery at a Bank of America while the cops were preoccupied.
This was pretty wild for a Canadian school.
At the end of the day there was a police car at the front of the school. Someone said they saw a kid get arrested when they went to the washroom. At the end of the day, a cop and the principal were standing at both back passenger windows talking to someone inside. We all just assumed that someone was getting arrested for selling drugs or something.
The next day my home room teacher told us between 3rd and 4th period (the 2 afternoon periods in Canada) a former student who was about 20 years old blended in with students and snuck into the school hallways. He wandered through the hallways stealing from unlocked lockers and actually stole about 10 laptops from teachers classrooms somehow.
They ended up catching him at the Tim Horton’s down the road. Not sure what’s gonna happen to him but someone said his mom was his get away vehicle a couple blocks down the road, he just had to stop at Timmy’s first. Only in Canada do people have to stop for a coffee and a donut mid robbery.
Some boys in the saxophone section of marching band made a Christmas card featuring them nude except for Santa hats and their sax covering their sacs. They distributed to the whole band, which at our school was a pretty large number of people. School tried to confiscate them for being LEWD but of course they couldn't get them all. Besides, people had camera phones and Facebook.
If they were in high school/underage, this can be considered CP. It's not a cute, funny prank.
Banana man. Literally a guy ran across the field during the middle of the homecoming football game in a banana suit.
The fallout (and I’m not making a word of this s**t up) was a “Zero tolerance policy” for talking about the event, bananas themselves, and LITERALLY THE ENTIRE F*****G COLOR YELLOW
It was the most glorious clusterf**k I have ever witnessed.
Was elementary school in a major city.
Our classroom was one of several temporary structures, beside the actual school.
Some homeless dude bursts in with a fish in his mouth.
Everyone was speechless and quickly scattered away from him.
Teacher somehow got him out of the class.
WILD.
Another time..same class. During class one morning we hear some noises from a student's desk.
Teacher asks her to open it. She opens it and it's a fukin pigeon...in a bag.
The biggest question was how she got the pigeon in the bag?!
Just casually kidnapped one on the way to school one morning.
The guidance counselor (female) slept with a 12 year old (male) student. Multiple times. Last I heard they planned to get married after she got out of jail.
Went to a Catholic high school. The chapel was on the basement level, very secluded, and always left unlocked so students could go pray (no one ever did.) One day a couple of students went in there to have sex on the altar. Turns out they ended up trying a**l and the girl s**t all over the altar. The chapel was locked after that.
We had a lot of other incidents but that was the one we can laugh about.
I went to Catholic school and I'm pretty sure the chapel there was only ever used for sex.
Kid in the year above decided, mid ICT lesson, that he needed to drop the kids off. Teacher wouldn’t let him go so he decided to move to the back of the classroom and proceeded to s**t in an empty pringles can.
After dropping the log he went round offering out “pringles” to people, one kid stuck his hand in blind and got a handful of s**t.
The kid was unsurprisingly pissed off and threw the handful of s**t at the kid who had the can.
There was a whole fight and s**t was thrown over the whole room. It all had to be industrially cleaned and even after that it still stank in there.
It was grim!
During my senior year, a girl in my class disappeared from the variety store she worked at and was presumed to have been abducted. Her coat and purse were gone, but cash only she knew about was still at the store. This was in 1982. She’s never been found.
We had a student commit suicide and the next day, students were crying and upset. One student asked the English teacher if they could go to guidance because they were so upset. The teacher said that no one should be upset because committing suicide is a sin so the kid was in hell. The entire class got up and walked out. She got suspended for one day since it was her “first offense”.
Ugh, I'd have walked out too - right after throwing a textbook at that self-righteous a-hole's head.
There was a crazy old lady that lived by the school. She used to come outside and yell at students when school let out. Consequently, the students started to intentionally provoke her because they thought it was funny, and, one day, she got a gun and shot one of them.
Undercover cop posing as a student for 6 months. Busted a variety of students dealing and transporting drugs
Edit: I tried searching for news articles about it and apparently it's a common sting operation they do in SoCal schools around LA and San Diego and surrounding districts
There was a special Ed kid who drowned in my swim class. None of the care takers kept and eye on him and he drifted into the deep end. No one seen him until the life guard had to dive in and get him. From what I know the life guard was fired, I can't say if the care takers were fired too. Having journalists find us outside the school by the park and asking us question about what happened was worse than seeing the dead kid being pulled outta the pool.
The carers at my school left me to help a boy in my class who was low functioning autistic with his sewing so she could talk to my sewing teacher about what she did at the weekend. Same lady got annoyed at my for helping my friend over this kid who I barely knew when again she was doing nothing.
kid punched a school cop, he pepper sprayed the entire hallway of kids including me going to class, tons of ppl ended up going to the hospital. missed my class tho lol
I didn't transfer in until after it happened, but I had a classmate who was in the room when it happened. Our 9th grade year (1989-1990), one of the guys in the theatre/drama class had been threatening suicide and to hurt friends and classmates. She and all her friends went to the teachers and principal, but were told they could do nothing because he had no "history" and therefore, he had to "do something" first.
He did. Walked in mid-class, took the entire room (including my friend and her friends who had reported his threats) hostage, brandished the gun around repeatedly, then shot one of their mutual friends who was trying to talk him down. Kid lost his ear, but not his life, thankfully.
She was still giving legal depositions 2 years later when I met her, which is how I heard the story.
We had a shooting, an outbreak of syphilis, and a thwarted stabbing attack by a teacher's ex husband.
We had a fight club that made front page news when someone added a newspaper reporter to the private Facebook group. The police showed up to the next fight, everyone scattered, and a kid got hit by a bus while running across the street. We got a new crossing light installed in the middle of the block the next semester.
Thats good, but completly useless web you're running from the Cops....
Sat in a science class one day, heard a loud bang come from the room next door followed by a teacher running into our room to get our teacher who was a first aider..
A lad (A) out of my class had been messing around with a blank bullet shaking it and saying
"it's only a blank" just as the bullet went off and blew the tip of his finger off.
The tip of his finger hit a lad (B) opposite him who looked on the desk and saw the tip of A's finger, B then fainted.
So A gets taken off to hospital and B is looked after until he wakes up and then taken off to the first aid room.
One of the girls who was sat at the same table looked up at the ceiling tiles and saw a blood splatter and upon closer inspection there was A's finger nail stuck in the tile.
Edit for clarity, my school had 5 different form groups in my year and for a lot of the classes we were split up and the different form groups mixed together, this is why lad A from my form group was in a different science class.
"Out of my class" was not the bit that needed clarity, "messing around with a blank bullet" in science class is.
Oh my god, there’s so many. Too many.
My elementary and middle schools (located on the same campus) were in really, really bad neighborhoods. By the time I was done with middle school, I had seen some pretty rough stuff.
- There was a ‘suspicious package’ dropped off at my elementary school the year after I graduated it. The entire elementary school (600 kids) was evacuated and then crammed into the gym of the middle school next door (which I attended). Turns out the package was not a bomb, though I don’t think the public ever found out what was really inside.
- School was placed on heightened alert my fifth grade year. Not a full lockdown, but students weren’t allowed to leave the building. Naturally, this happened right at dismissal, so the head principals were rushing everybody back in as quickly as they could. I was at the front door, which made it even more terrifying. Turns out there was a teenager on campus with a gun (unloaded). After that, my school was placed on heightened alert dozens of times, but it was never super dramatic since they normally didn’t tell the kids.
- The news never found out, but the middle school gym teacher once held soccer practice and separated the black and the white kids and then made them play each other. Me and a few other students were actually the ones who reported it, and he got into big trouble. But he was never fired, and he’s still there. In fact, he’s trying to become a vice principal right now.
-High school next door made national news for having three guns on campus in the span of two months. Now every high school in the district has metal detectors.
- You might’ve seen this one on CNN. A special ed teacher at my middle school dragged an autistic kid down the hallway, causing him to have bruises on his arms and legs. It was insane because I actually know the teacher who did it, and it was very bizarre to watch the news clip because I had been in that hallway dozens of times.
- Not at my elementary school, but at a friend’s. A teacher was arrested for having sexual relations a student at the elementary school. Not at a high school, at an elementary school.
- Final incident. At my elementary school (different from any of the ones previously mentioned), the principal’s husband was arrested after stealing several bourbon barrels. It was a massive heist. Principal never got into any trouble, but most parents are pretty sure she likely knew about the four bourbon barrels that were just sitting in her basement.
*Hope it doesn't get buried*
This is in Spain catholic school in 79. On kid (10 year old) made a snarky remark in class. The teacher (priest) dragged him out to the hallway desk an all and kicked the s**t out of him. We never saw the kid again. The next day the teacher was back in class. We all just sat there silent. It was my first year in Spain and my Spanish wasn't good so I never found out what happened. Another priest teacher was famous for taking little girls and boy to his office an showing them porn magazines. there was another that taught English and organised the band. Year later he was reported for abusing kids when they went on trips. I was lucky because I failed the test to join the band.
A girl at my high school went to a party with the “popular” kids one night, and wanted to get high. One of the boys secretly shaved some of his pubic hair and rolled her a pube joint, unbeknownst to her. She smoked the entire thing (one would think she’d smell the distinct stench of burning hair...?) and began to tell everyone how high she was, stumbling around and asking for munchies. All the “cool kids” at the party were in on it.
The story spread like wildfire the following day. From then on, she was known as the “pube smoker”. It was horrible, I felt so bad for her. She handled it like a champ though, held her head high (hah) and ignored the comments. I would have transferred schools immediately, at the very least. More likely I would have just walked into traffic. She was a strong girl, I admire her courage to this day, almost 10 years later.
My middle school gym teacher, whose name was ironically Mr. D**k, was busted for soliciting sex from a teen
I could definitely get why a whale went bonkers and was portrayed as a monster. Who would be pleased if some random human being comes by and names you Moby D**k?
2 girls were fighting over boy. They were in the bathroom, in the same stall. While they were fighting one of the girls took out a pair of scissors and stabbed the other in the eye. The girl who stabbed her was expelled and the other girl turned out to be just fine and went back to school like everything was normal. The creepy part was, my classroom was the closest one to the bathroom and we didn't hear anything. We just saw the cops. It creeps me out to think it happened a couple feet away from me.
Yeah someone in my grade school took a pencil to the eye. can't imagine how cruel children were when he had his eye patch
In my sister's high school the assistant principal was arrested for dealing cocaine at the university downtown.
My grade lost 3 students. Sophomore year a boy was in the passenger side of a truck leaving a party and was t-boned by a drunk driver and died. Junior year within days of eachother a boy jumped out of the back of the bus in an attempt to skip school and go to the beach, he died days later in the hospital. A few guys skipped school to go dirt biking. One of the guys crashed without a helmet and died in his best friends arms. The entire time I was in high school only 3 students at our school died, all were in my grade level. I cried watching their parents accept their diplomas at graduation.
In Jr. High, 7th grade, two of my friends were playing with a loaded gun when the predictable happened. It went off and killed one kid, the other kid went into an understandable depressive spiral and lived to about 22 before taking his own life. Such a senseless tragedy.
One of our history teachers tried to put in a video about economics on to watch. All of a sudden all that showed up was two guys wrestling at our school gym where no one usually records. He isn't even the coach or anything. He then went on to say, "Oh, that's Dr. King's video!" trying to cover up the fact he had a video of two Male wrestlers sitting on his desk for no reason.
And no, Dr. King was not happy about being falsely accused.
Had a teacher get involved with several girls in highschool (he pretty much had one on each grade). At first it was just rumors, it then s**t hit the fan and the principal confirmed what was going on when the guy was fired... he was married and had a small child and was leaving his family for a 15yo girl.... months after he got fired, the girl went missing and she was found dead several days later with signs of violence. A day later his body was found in another city about 150 miles away, someone put a knife through his neck. No one ever knew what really happened, but theories are abundant.
I'm hispanic, honor killings are not really a thing in my country but the father getting them killed was a theory floated around by people that knew her (mostly us highschoolers). Might have been the wife that orchestrated it but no evidence supports that theory.
Iirc, by what the police could gather, after the girl went missing the teacher went on the run, even asked a friend of his for help (friend went to jail for helping him out) before the girl was even found and by then he was by himself (girl was probably dead already at that point).
This was mid 2000's.
So sas that this is possibly unsolved. Those poor girls and the families involved.
A fight broke out and as one guy got punched in the face, he literally s**t his pants - and he was wearing shorts and boxers, so it just rolled right down his leg and into the pavement.
But he punched back, they got into it, and the other guy pissed his pants.
The school cop broke them up and dragged them away, then a girl who was really into fashion came walking by - she hadn't seen the fight, and the crowd was dispersing, but there was still an open ring of people standing around the fight area and s**t ball.... she walked right through, stepped on the s**t, and it smeared on her new white boots.
Why am I laughing at the prospect of the girl stepping into the poop…
While my theatre group and I were away seeing a Broadway show, we got word that a whitetail deer jumped through a large floor-to-ceiling window and caused havoc. Nobody was hurt, but it destroyed a bunch of stuff in the room and eventually died.
BTW, it was the special ed homeroom. That's the worst part.
A guy went into the locker room during gym class and s**t into another guys backpack.
Edit: since so many people asked, this happened in a German school in 2014 or 2015.
The guy didn't face any consequences although almost everyone knew who did it. Our principle pretty much was like "yeah... let's not talk about this".
The story also spread like a wildfire in our town and I had friends from different schools text me about it before I even came home that day.
Are you sure it was a guy????? I mean, that looks the M.O. of some One else..... ( We all know who )
This was back in the 70s.
In 7th grade some girl just started groping the boys. If you got close to her she would immediately grab your groin or butt, which ever was closer. Sometimes she would grab both at the same time.
Of course the boys started groping her back and it turned into a common thing to do and she let it happen. The boys then started groping other girls. Some went along with it and thought it was funny. Others got upset and told teachers and the principal.
The principal called a big assembly and read the riot act. The girl that started it all acted shocked and outraged but the adults knew she was the one that started the whole thing.
Teachers treated my high school like a dating site. Two teachers were known to have married students (after they graduated ). Long after graduation, two teachers got charged with molesting many students.
My grandmother had an affair with her science teacher, and eloped with him after graduating. He died in the 1970s, but that’s my mom’s father. Just found this out recently! 😶
Police marched in to arrest a grade 12 student for masterminding the murder of his mother and grandmother by his two friends. He did it for the inheritance.
Someone threw a fork. Hit some 12 year old girl and got stuck in her head.
My junior year, they took a group of us on a college visit. We had some time to explore the campus on our own. Two girls ended up at the frat house. When it was time to leave, they were nowhere to be found. They finally came to the bus about 45 minutes late, completely sh**faced drunk. They apparently had sex with at the frat house as well and one of them ended up pregnant from it. Family sued the school but settled out of court.
A girl made a video of her shoving hot dogs up her a*s. Made its way to the internet.
a student set a toilet on fire, and yes, you read that right, a toilet not a roll an actual toilet. No one knows how, no one knows why, but no one is allowed to have anything even remotely flammable any more.
Made me think of a regular prank (around 40 years ago at least) at an Antwerp school specialising in anything to do with food (bakery, butchery, cooks etc...) Almost each year right before the easter holidays, someone would flush a large amount of bakersyeast through the toilet. At that time, they were not connected to the sewage system, septic tank cover was in the middle of the school's paved (some 4 volleybalcourts large) inner courtyard and was usually emptied out right after easter. Yeast + a full septic tanks + first sunrays...
I'm just gonna start from elementary and work my way up:
4th grade - a couple of the boys who were rougher around the edges decided to bring pepper spray to school. We all had to line up at the doors on either end of the building before school starts and then we'd all be let in at once. Well, the kids thought it'd be a great idea to pepper spray everyone lined up at the door. That s**t hurt man. Then one of them pepper sprayed himself so that he would seem like an innocent bystander - didn't work out for him
6th grade - (my elementary was K-6) we weren't allowed to go on the big grade 6 camping trip because too many kids were doing drugs and/or sexually active. The first and only time they have ever cancelled the trip.
Middle school - One teacher was a huge pedo/perv and would look down girls tops. He also coached the girls volleyball team at the local uni. He ended up "quitting" (or thats what they say) to coach full time.
8th grade - science teacher was notorious for putting kids in their place "in a fun way". He would body chuck students in the hallways, dump kids in the garbage cans, and one time, there was a particularly annoying dude in the class, he tied the kid up with an extension cord, put him in a duffle and put him in the storage closet in the classroom. Pretty sure he is still working at that school but I know he was told to chill the f**k out.
High school - 10th grade - One troubled kid lit the boys bathroom on fire. Lots of smoke and fire damage, was a huuuuuge thing in the city.
11th grade - One girl was rumoured to have stuck a hose up her vagina and masturbate with it on camera and sent it to the boys in school. Dunno if thats true or not.
12th grade - school caught on fire again. Different boys bathroom and a different kid.
Also, lots of ambulances at my school because we have a mechanics course and heavy duty metal works class so there were aloooot of injuries.
Oh, I have a few.
A girl scratched a guy's face so hard he got a scar that runs from his forehead to his cheekbone, passing through the eye, almost blinding him, because she "felt like kicking his a*s".
A kid was caught smoking weed on the bathroom several times, because his mother found out he smoked and prohibited him of leaving school during class hours so he couldn't come out and smoke.
One Monday we arrived at the school to find a huge puddle of puke on the floor of the main hall. The Students association threw a party the night before, and nobody cleaned it, because they were all either drunk or stoned. After that, no more parties could be hosted at school, they were all hosted at event pavilions outside of school grounds.
A girl (16) got pregnant. When confronted by her parents, she spilled all the beans. She and her boyfriend would wait until almost closing hours, and have sex at secluded corners of the school grounds. When she gave birth, the father dragged the boyfriend to the Hospital nursery, placed the baby on his arms and said "this is yours. Deal with it."
A really weird teacher was caught watching porn. His students turned the projector on in the middle of a test to mess with him and found out.
Edit: I just now remembered, the guy that got the scar was nicknamed "white Nick Fury".
Two of these are similar to mine, when I was in 6th grade (the lowest grade of the middle school), we had PE mixed with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders for each class and the rumor was two students got caught having sex on the stage in the gym while everybody was supposed to be outside doing sports. I wasn't in this particular class, and I was out that day but I was told this happened by multiple people across all three grades. Another, while in 8th grade (the last grade of middle school) there was a 6th grade teacher who apparently got busted watching porn and masturbating in his classroom during his free period. He suspiciously didn't finish the last 2 months of the school year and didn't come back.
Our school had a skiing trip and it was open to years 10-13 so in the UK that’s ages 14-18. During one night a few of the year 13’s decided to play a prank and one of the 18 year olds teabags another boy who was asleep. The boy was only 15 and was bullied relentlessly for the rest of the skiing trip.
When he got home and was understandably upset, he told his parents and they lost it! Immediately went to the school and got the police involved who decided to investigate it as sexual assault on a minor.
The school went into panic and gathered everyone from the skiing trip before the police arrived and told them that the incident didn’t happen, although knowing full well it did happen. They decided to help the 18 year old out as to not ruin the rest of his life over a prank. The school did a pretty good job convincing the students it didn’t happen and the police bought it was just rumours.
The 15 year old was happy as he was no longer bullied as everyone now believed it wasn’t true and the 18 year old avoided prison. But yeah, the school technically covered up sexual assault on a minor.
One of the teachers at my high school carried on a relationship with a student for years when it started she was 17 but she was 18 by the time everyone found out. She had 3 kids by him and their married the age difference was at least 37 years.
I guess my biggest question is, when did that teacher stop seeing them as a kid they were teaching? Unless they were always dtf a minor....
Some kid put acid In the teachers coffee. It was in the 70's. It was a weird afternoon for sure.
I didn't remember that "acid" is slang for LSD and I was like "SOMEONE PUT HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN A TEACHER'S DRINK?!"
Not sure if I can talk about this. But let’s try it. There was a group of jocks from my high school football team that decided that it was a good idea to violate one of the kids in the “slower” group with a broomstick. Anytime I went somewhere and someone heard I was from that school, it was always brought up...
Another school in the district had a student come to an assembly dressed in a KKK hood so we all had to have a huge assembly and there were a bunch of posters around school about what to do if you feel discriminated against.
Not high school but close. In 8th grade on the bus to DC a girl got caught giving her boyfriend a bl**job. Ever since, the buses became segregated based on gender
My school had a vet program so we had a classroom full of pets for the students to take care of. One day a sugar gliders escaped their cage and went into the ferrets cage. The ferret ate him. The kids who had class the next morning had to clean up the remains from the cage and wash the blood off the ferret.
One of the Founders of the school decided they would have half of their ashes buried in school when they died, in Mexico we celebrate Day Of the Death/Dia De Muertos and when they got the altar going in their grave, a piece of decoration paper spontaneously combusted and set half the school on fire because of how unexpected it was.
It was the last day for the senior class. There were only two significant pranks that day. The principal's office was filled with balloons and glitter, and the main hallway entrance was saran wrapped. About an hour before the day ended, the principal came over the loudspeaker and said that anyone caught participating in a prank would not walk at the graduation ceremony. About a minute after he said this, the fire alarm went off. A guy who was near the principal said that he got angry and said out loud "some ones not walking" before storming off. An entire wing of the school was hazy and smoke was pouring out of a classroom. Turns out the science teacher was doing a laser experiment for his class and created too much smoke with a smoke machine.
End of senior year - some kid was caught on video having sex with his freshman girlfriend in an abandoned stairwell, everyone saw the video and talked about it for weeks. I think he was charged with sexual assault and was not able to graduate.
is having sex with your girlfriend sexual assoult? i feel like theyre leaving something out here
Somebody started a pillow fight about 2 weeks before graduation, and about 50 people were involved, including one of my best friends at the time. None of them were allowed to walk at graduation, and I heard the ringleader got expelled literally the day before the senior's last day. Feathers were everywhere, and the janitors made the kids clean it up.
We had a teacher high on Xanax driving out of the school about to head to a basketball game. They lost control and ran over a little girl and she was pinned under the car and she couldn’t roll out because it was like a little ditch. We still had the play the game because it was a tournament game even tho we wasn’t sure if she died or not
Smh so much dumb s**t but one i can Remember was nude trading ring going around between kids trading nudes of girls to the point where people were getting their phones screened.
My highschool was recently in the news because a virus got into our school system and held the schools data at ransom for $300,000
Hahaha! I know exactly which Midwest high school you're talking about!
S**t... there were a couple of noteworthy ones. Class of '96, here.
The chemistry teacher who taught a total of 190-some students who gave out 2 A's and 190-some minus 2 F's in 1994. They couldn't fire him because he had tenure so the administration put him on extended leave for a year and then wouldn't let him come back.
Somebody shot a deer, dressed it up in a hunting jacket, stuck a cigarette in its mouth, and strung it up outside of the school in May of '96, right before graduation.
Failed arson attempt that resulted in the bathrooms on the third floor being boarded up (one of them because the damage was extensive, the other just in case they tried again). Having classes on that floor sucked.
My freshman year some dude stabbed a guy that was bullying his cousin. Made it to the news and everything. We had to pass through metal detectors for the next two years. S**t was crazy.
A few kids threw a bunch of no nut November coupons off the balconies at our school and it went everywhere.
To make it worse it was a parents' evening.
Edit: it wasn't just 20 ish, it was like 400
Edit 2: ~~I'll link the video if i can find it~~ [found it](https://www.reddit.com/user/AnishG555/comments/f2okzq/same/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
This one reminds me of that scene in Ten Things I Hate About You where Cameron and Mike drop a whole heap of "FREE BEER!" party leaflets down the stairwell so they can lure a bunch of kids to Bogey Lowenstein's house to crash his party. God I love that movie. :D
This wasn’t in my high school, but back in middle school someone got taken to court for bringing vodka to school in water bottles and then selling it to other students (7th grade). There was also the “crazy British kid” who got suspended after saying he’d shoot up the school (also 7th grade). He apparently came back to the school a few months later, but I never met him. On the topic of violence, we also had several anonymous bomb threats left in the Spanish classroom throughout my 8th grade year.
The admin at my school used to drive around campus on golf carts for whatever reason. One day a kid jacked one and accidentally ran over another kid. No more golf cars after that.
A 14 year old sent around a video of herself, the police came in and checked peoples phones and made them delete it. She got busted for making and distributing...
Also another girl s**t in a can of drink and somehow wrote on the wall "s**t stinks" then left then can just under it in the girls bathroom.
Some unknown guy killed a prof in his office and apparently hid out in the drywall space in the medical school building for a few days.
The police ended up having to clear out that building like it's a war zone and they never caught the killer. They think it was either
1) a crazy student
2) a bit of office politics that gone murderous as the professor was just about the get the plum gig in the department
3) an escape crazy person from the local mental hospital--which was for some reason on the grounds of the university right behind the physics building
4) some combination, thereof.
So… escaped crazy person from mental hospital, who is a student at the school, and is also a teacher ?
Gym cooling system overheated and caught on fire, during the Homecoming Parade. That and State Police had to show up two years ago after an increase of Freshman fights in the cafeteria. It got to the point to where there were some rumors that school security had to use a taser on one of the kids after a fight to subdue (the rumor was complete BS) and our football team had to cancel a home game (and concede the game) over potential threats. It was a cr**py Junior year (2017-2018).
**High school 1:** Jostins (they make rings and yearbooks) was on campus to sell us our class rings. They had a Chicago bears Super Bowl ring along with other famous rings they made, somebody stole the Super Bowl ring.
We were all called into an assembly to find the ring (the jostins guy was close to tears) the ring was “found” in the hallway after the assembly was let out
**High school 2:** a couple girls got in a fight at the bus stop, one of them cut the other up with a box cutter, and then tossed battery acid on her...
One group of leavers decided to release two chickens in the school while covering the locker hall floor in bleach, then setting off the fire alarm and egging everyone.
So in one of my schools there was this tradition that the older students had specific day in which if they could slip away without being caught they were free to go. Turns out during the 3 years I was there the students decided to do it a little differently, they brought oil, vinegar, paint, flour, fish guts, etc(there was also a whole pig head). So the students coordinated themselves and just like rioted out of there throwing all the s**t they brought all the way to the exit(they were on the 4th floor).
Somebody threw a dead deer into the quad. I think they only got in trouble because they broke some lights on the roof while doing it!
Who has enough strength to *throw* a deer high/far enough to break lights on a roof??
Kid 1 challenged Kid 2 to a fight after school in the parking lot. Kid 1 was waiting and talking smack and attracted a large crowd. Kid 2 shows up with his hand behind his back and enters the arena. Kid 2 reveals a chair leg, clubs Kid 1 in the dome and puts him down. Kid 2 escapes in his car. Police grab him a short while later, and spends the night in jail on assault. Kid 1 goes to hospital, gets stitches.
A mid twenty year old male assistant to the PE teacher was having an affair with a 16 year old school girl. He did not teach her, she was of legal age, it was technically legal but still EW!
EW. And of course it's not just an age thing, but a power dynamic thing.

My best friend and I WERE the "event" during our high school years. (Think Weasley twins type of shenanigans.) But all of our pranks pale in comparison to one of the senior pranks. When I was a sophomore, a few of the seniors "borrowed" 3 pigs from one of their farms (we're rednecks). They marked each pig with a number--"1", "3", and "4"--and let them loose in the school. The teachers and principal spent HOURS looking for piggy number 2 before the kids finally admitted there were only three pigs.
The pig thing is one that was always talked about at high schools where I lived as the ultimate 'muck up day' prank. Of course none of us had the courage (or stupidity) by the time we got to year 12 to actually do it. One of my friends also wanted to do a variation where she announced to the school she had hidden a $5, $10, $20 and $50 note in random books in the library and have a plant who would 'find' the $20 as 'proof'. She never did that either, though she did get caught putting vaseline on the locks of a number of lockers.
