From Hilarious To Utterly Chilling, 30 People Share What “The Incident” At Their School Was
If you can remember your high school years vividly, it's most likely that besides jocks, raging parties and short-lived crushes, you also remember incidents that stuck in your mind like chewing gum under a school desk.
From flushing down a cherry bomb in the girls' toilet to someone going into fisticuffs with the principal, there are legends that are still being hush-hushed inside your former classrooms. And so, when someone asked the good people of the internet to share their iconic school stories on r/AskReddit - wild, hormone-fueled tales spilled like fruit punch on a sweaty prom night.

Ah, high school - a time of adolescent rebellion, raging hormones, and, of course, larger-than-life tales that transcend time. From the timeless "Water Balloon Wars" that left the school grounds drenched in hilarity to the audacious infiltration of the principal's office during the "Great Toilet Paper Caper," it's no wonder why so many TV shows, starting from 'The Simpsons' going to 'Community,' try to tap themselves into teenage mythology.
But what is it about this period of our lives that seems to hold more weight than any other and stick in our minds like gum on a shoe? There are those who swear that high school was the absolute best time of their lives, reminiscing about those "good old days" and all. Maybe they're onto something. Perhaps it's just rose-tinted glasses.

In the 5th grade, our P.E. teacher had our class hula hoop for physical activity. Two girls in the class ended up hula hooping the entire 45 minutes - 1 hour of the class without stopping. Our teacher decided that it would be fun to see how long these two girls could go.
By the end of the school day, one girl was still going and had not stopped. Our teacher then got the wild idea that this girl should keep going to try breaking the world record. The students parent’s were called and they gave her permission to make the attempt. Someone looked up the rules of Guinness World Records and discovered that you can take a few minutes break every hour.
The local news was called and they filmed this poor girl hula hooping her heart out. She finally gave up around 12:30am. This took place in the late 1980’s in Roswell, GA. at Mimosa elementary.
The same year, the same P.E. teacher taught our class to juggle. Within 3 months, she started a juggling club in which I was a member. We eventually had a choreographed routine, with music, printed ‘Mimosa Jugglers’ tee-shirts and began performing our routine at other local elementary schools. It was weird but actually pretty fun at the time. We juggled balls, rings and plastic bowling pins. I ended up discovering that I could juggle 3 apples while taking a bite out of one - it was a crowd pleaser lol.

Apparently, as we age, our memories tend to play tricks on us and thus we become nostalgic. And one of those tricks is the tendency to look back fondly on our teenage years. If you're wondering why, we can blame it on a psychological phenomenon better known as the "reminiscence bump."
The reminiscence bump, then, refers to the phenomenon where our memories of events that occurred between the ages of 10 and 30 are particularly vivid and well-preserved. These are the years when we go through significant life transitions and experience a lot of "firsts" – first love, first job, first taste of independence. And guess what? High school falls right smack dab in the middle of that period. Not because it rocks and you rarely get to experience things as impactful as they were in high school, but because strong emotions tend to create stronger memories.

In high school Two kids both named Logan
Both last names were very similar
One was popular and the other was not
Unpopular Logan was drunk and ran across a road in the middle of the night and was k**led by a semi-truck
The next day the principal announced that popular Logan had died
Popular Logan was late for school.
Everyone was very sad
Then popular Logan showed up and all school rejoiced that unpopular Logan was the one who died
Was f****d up

Yeah, kids are rough to kids who are on the outs. There were several other people with my first name in my grade, and I was the least popular. If I died in high school pretty sure it’d have been the exact same scene.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is pretty tame but funny. We had a music teacher who absolutely doused herself in perfume. It was like a cloud all around her all day, every day. You could pretty much smell her before you saw her.
We had music after lunch so a few were in the room to k**l the remaining 10 mins of lunch. One girl went through her desk and found her perfume and sprayed it once laughing that she was Mrs X.
Few minutes later Mrs X walks in, sniffs and starts looking around and we all think we are in trouble because she must know we were in the drawers.
She then proceeds to tell the girls that they shouldn't wear such cheap, nasty perfume because now her room stinks of cheap perfume. Never tried harder to stifle a laugh in my life.

One of my regulars at my coffee shop doused herself in perfume because if she sat still, she would leave a puddle. She suffered from adult incontinence but apparently refused to wear protective products. Instead, she chose to wrap herself in furs in the California Summer and douse herself in perfume. And then she would play musical-chairs around the cafe when she wet herself. She considered herself to be pretty hot sh*t, because she was always disrespectful to the workers and would make a big deal about how "her driver" was coming to pick her up.

In a way, it's like peering through a magnifying glass at a time when our emotions and hormones were running wild, making us behave like little anarchists. Then the reminiscence bump kicks in, making those memories stand out in our minds like a highlight reel of our youth, filled with nostalgia, laughter, and facepalm-worthy moments.

A sophomore (my classmate) dropped unconscious in gym class and was rushed to the hospital. 3 days later they took him off life support and he died from a brain aneurysm.

When I was in middle school, we were heading home and a boy named Ryan got off the bus. Some crazy guy ignored the stop sign attached to the bus and went around it, slamming into Ryan. I was in the front seat and saw everything. Despite the efforts of a nurse who saw the crash and ran to help, he died later in the hospital. What I'm about to tell you next is no joke/exaggerating. At Field Day that year, we planted a tree in his honor. His mother came to say a few words. Next to the field was a thick forest. As she spoke, a whole flock of white birds flew out of the trees. Was it his spirit? To this day I wonder.......

In my high school, a pair of jokers thought it would be funny to lift a stack of weights on a shoulder-press machine and then set the pin so the weights were suspended. When I removed the pin to use the machine, the handlebars came crashing down with all that weight and I crumpled to the floor. Onlookers said my eyes rolled back and I was speaking gibberish. I was taken to a hospital with a concussion. I remember wondering and observing myself in the weeks after to see if that incident had changed my personality, but I had no objective way of knowing.

It's usually easier to hold a young person's funeral at a school since it's universally known and easier to get to compared to a private church. Our school held a funeral for a young boy (one of my classmate's younger brother) and as depressing as it was, it made sense.

I think it makes sense too, because the kids *will* be talking about it. So better to have the funeral there and make it an open and educational experience. By educational I mean so they know the truth of it, rather than kids starting rumours or playing chinese whispers.

There was a girl I went to High School with. She had some kind of lung disease. The kind usually associated with smoking or secondhand smoke exposure. The weird thing, she didn't smoke and nobody in her family did either. She was a Senior the year I was a Sophomore. Sadly she lost the battle two days before graduation. I think the Principal read out her name during Commencement. Her parents did receive her diploma.

Coolest guy in school was an amazing guitarist, really good at finger picking, super lovely, talked to everyone, even the teachers loved him. He was in my homeroom (Australian Highschool) he was older but he used to let me sit near him sometimes. One weekend he went out with some friends to play with fire crackers (fire crackers are super illegal here because of the Bush fire risk) anyway, the guy BLEW ALL OF HIS FINGERS ON BOTH HANDS OFF.....
He didn't come back to school for a few months, and then one day he came back, sat in the corner with a hoodie over his face and his hands buried deep in his pockets. Never spoke to anyone again. Couldnt play guitar- couldn't even open a door. So f*****g sad. We were all so sad for him.

People don't realize sometimes how bad the "up" phases in bipolar disorder can be. Mine come in different flavors, and while the euphoria trip can be fun, the experience is ruined by knowing that the higher I go, I'm going have to go an equal amount into the negative when I fall. Meaning the more euphoric I feel during the up-phase, the darker my depression will be afterwards.

There is a man in the city where I live that is convinced he's the messiah. He utterly and completely believes this. He's on a crusade to save the world. His friend did not believe Bob is the messiah. A day or two after telling Bob to get out of his face with that nonsense, the friend's mother died unexpectedly, probably from an aneurysm. Bob told me that God got the friend for not believing Bob was the messiah, by murdering his mother. No, Bob had no contact with the mother. Bob did not kill her. But when someone believes something like that, it's scarier than a cat with a quarter-empty food bowl.

But then there's also an evolutionary aspect to this only a few take into consideration. "It was during this time that we got sorted out in the status hierarchy of our tribe, and this ultimately determined who we could mate with and who we must defer to for the rest of our lives in this group," Frank McAndrew, an evolutionary social psychologist, told Bored Panda in an email.
And those strong emotions we experience during our time in high school, be it a blessing or a curse? "[They] ensure that we remember important information about other people like who we can trust and who we cannot trust. Our propensity for holding grudges prevents us from being victimized by the same people over and over again."

We had so many pregnant teen girls that they had their own gym class.
A friend of mine who had a fake leg— he had a solid metal rod from mid thigh to mid calf from childhood leukemia so he couldn’t bend at the knee, was in the same class. Just this one poor guy and 30 pregnant 16 year olds.
**Edit: I never imagined there would be so many upvotes & questions.**
I was a teenager in the late 90s and grew up in the southeastern United States. It was a suburban area where a ton of people (still) identify as Evangelical Christians, it’s also called the Bible Belt. The required sex education classes didn’t teach anything but “Just Say No” so there were girls who thought jumping up and down would prevent pregnancy. Not kidding. These were really sheltered girls who would attend Purity Dances, so it was quite a scandal that so many were pregnant at the same time. Most of the baby daddies were just dumb teenage boys who didn’t know the facts of life.
Remember that there was no internet at this point so it’s not like teens could get information on their own *especially* if they were from a super religious background. A girl on my street was “sent away” to live with an aunt when she got pregnant.
Also, the pregnant girl gym class was technically for the physically disabled kids, hence why my friend was the lone guy in the class.
His leg, from what he explained to me, had cancer in the bones of his knee. They didn’t want to amputate his whole leg so they removed the knee and grafted a rod in place— this would have been back in the late 80s so I’m sure they do stuff differently now.

We had off campus lunch. You could go anywhere around as long as you were back in 45 minutes. It had been tradition for the school's entire 60+ years. The entire mile or so surrounding the school had tons of small carryout restaurants. My senior year, a girl snuck out of her middle school to come meet her freshman boyfriend. She stopped at one of the restaurants for ice cream. Left the restaurant and stepped off the curb into the highway, directly into the side of an 18wheeler. 60 years of off campus lunch around that highway and that was the first serious accident. School banned leaving campus within days. The local businesses tried to come up with a compromise, I know they talked about shuttle service, walkway bridge over the intersection. School refused to even discuss it. We lodged protests, walk outs. Nothing. One life lost is too many is what they kept saying. Within a few years almost all of those restaurants were closed and sat empty. The whole area around the school looked like a ghost town. Which became the place to go for drugs. Four years after I graduated, fifteen kids OD'd. Five years and I think the number was closer to 50. All because of one girl.

What a weird reaction to an accident. If I read it right, the girl didn't even go to that school, plus she was outside the allowed lunch time. We were never allowed out for lunch (though people would sneak out too the chicken shop next door, but teachers patrolled it) I assume because we were under school's care during school hours so legally we had to stay on the ground. Only time I disagreed with the rule was when we were in year 12 (so most of us 18) if we had a spare period at the end of the day, we were allowed to leave school early, yet we couldn't go get food and come back to school to study. Once you were signed out you had to leave the premises until the next day.

According to Alejandra Scherman, an Assistant Professor at the Center on Autobiographical Memory Research at Aarhus University in Denmark, the reminiscence bump is greatly influenced by what psychologists call the "cultural life script." This refers to the societal norms and expectations regarding the sequence and timing of life events that are considered typical.
Because of a cultural fascination with the teenage years, teenagers are more mentally primed to pay extra attention to the experiences unfolding around them than ever before. "I think that any cultural obsession with being a teenager springs from our subtle recognition of how important those years are," McAndrew said. "In other words, our obsession with the teen years is a symptom, not a cause of their importance."

Which one do you want? Our senior T shirts were literally “the incident” from each year.
Freshman: Older HS kids are having a party near the end of the school year, get busted, one tries to run from the cops and crashes into the electrical transformer in front of the school giving everyone 2 days off.
Sophomore: Some moron stole 3 mercury thermometers from a science class and decided it would be fun to smash them in the gym during a passing period. School was evacuated and the gym was closed for a week.
Junior: Someone made a bomb threat against the school. The police said they had it covered and kids wouldn’t be in danger. Only about half the school showed up anyway. It was a very odd day.
Senior: Kid brought a gun to school to show his friend. Others kids saw it and by the time I arrived (free period first period so I didn’t have to come to school until period 2 senior year) the school was surrounded by police officers and news copters and I was yelled at to “go home”. School was locked down all day as they went room to room searching. My old Spanish teacher actually thought the cops were the active shooter and tackled one as he came into the room. He ended up with a giant lump on his head, but he was a hero to us all after that.

Had a shooter threat in 6th grade, teachers were told about 10 minutes before buses started unloading. They rushed us all into one room, freaked a ton of kids out. When they started to bring kids down the hallway, all of a sudden the teacher was yelling at the kids to turn around. We all thought someone had made it into the building. When we were given the clear, 3 kids had panic attacks and nearly 600 kids were brought out of school. The teacher still gave us a math test not even 15 minutes after everyone was calling their parents assuring them that they were okay. I hated that school year.

My middle school got multiple bomb threats per year. The first time it ever happened, I was out sick and saw a text from one of my friends to our group chat asking what was going on. I responded asking if everything was okay and received no reply from any of them for over an hour. I learned later that there had been a bomb threat and the administration took everyone's phones (likely to check everyone's call history). It was terrifying in the moment, to wonder what was happening to my friends and why they weren't answering.

We had a bomb threat in middle school. Someone came in and whispered into the teachers ear something. And I guess he wasn't supposed to tell us, but he thought we were old enough so he did. And I guess we were, because we were all really mature about it. They then walked the entire student body 5 blocks to the elementary school down the street and put us up in the gym/cafeteria/etc. The elementary school was empty for a teacher work day. Then some kids called their parents. The rest if us went on our buses from the elementary school

We had the states (probably all of the US) largest sting operation in our school. It began with a “senior” who looked 25 started at the school. He wouldn’t date any girls, had horrible grades, and missed a lot of school. This under cover cop was trying to buy drugs in school property. He was there for several months, one day we were all sitting in class and in the class next to us a few cops plus the principal started pulling students out of classes and arresting them. Turns out something like 20+ kids were arrested plus some parents in the whole operation. Made the front page of the AJC with photos and everything.
He had like a 7 in math class, and when the teacher would call his parents to discuss his grades they’d get a separate line to what ever police office was acting like a parent. Apparently he was told to start trying more in class.
Pretty funny for those not involved.

What I don't get is why even pretend to be a kid? When I was in high school we had a couple mature age students completing years 11 and 12. One was an obvious 40 and the other was 30ish. Instead of trying to claim to be 17 why not just say "yeah I'm 23, dropped out. But now I'm back to finish my senior year". No need to have fake parents and a heck of a lot easier to explain. Unless that's no longer a thing?

One of the guys at our High School thought it would be funny to pretend he had died in a car accident on a specific date (I've forgotten it now), so he didn't show up for class ~ had friends spread rumors right at the beginning of the day about it ~ People were grieving because he was apart of the popular group, and just well known all around.
So he walks in near the middle of the day smiling and laughing, people were shocked but amused (Don't ask me why...).
A year later, exactly a year later... on the day - he dies in a car wreck due to him and three others crossing the boarder between states to get drugs - the girl driving tried to swerve due to a armadillo.
Out of the four people he was the only one to die. People thought it was him trying to pull the same joke that year around, but no.

One of my friends sophomore year started a rumour that I had died (huge friend group scattered across several schools--she told the people I didn't go to school with). For the next FIVE YEARS, I would randomly run into acquaintances who had never been told that I was, in fact, still alive.

fun fact about armadillos, they have a sense for teenage jerks and will hunt them down totally didnt just make that up
Why it's easy to speculate why TV shows like to romanticize our teen years, rather than, let's say, college - "high school dramas are more relatable to the public due to the fact that many more people experienced high school compared to college," writes Deja Heard of Tuc magazine. Chris Ferguson, a professor and co-chair of psychology at Stetson University in Florida, believes our mind brings us back to high school hallways because it's a particularly important period in our lives - whether you come from a rich area or live on the wrong side of tracks.
"It's an odd cultural state in modern cultures, mixing elements of both childhood and adulthood," Ferguson told Bored Panda. "Particularly for high-status youth with stable families, this can make this period particularly 'fun' and memorable. Obviously, lower-status youth or those with difficult environments might look back on the period with less fondness."

So this was like 15-16 years ago. Our school used to have a fun little rivalry activity during homecoming week. We had three school colors: red, white, and black. On the day of the homecoming assembly, each grade year was assigned one of the colors, and whichever grade has the most participation would be the winner. (Sophomores wore red, Juniors wore white, and Seniors wore black.) People would get VERY into it - dying their hair, making signs, trying to bribe teachers onto their teams, etc. It was honestly a lot of stupid fun in a slightly more innocent/ignorant time. Things that would appear to be an obvious problem today (blackface, anyone?) were not really in our Wonderbread Midwestern zeitgeist. Of course, the year after I graduated, it went too far.
Most years, the seniors would win this little competition, and the juniors would be grumpy about it. Anticipating this, a few idiot juniors thought it would be funny to show their disdain by dressing up in white with KKK hoods, with a fake lynched black 'senior' dangling from a pole...
Yeah. Bad time.
Last I heard, the kids were suspended, the principal voluntarily retired in response to the backlash, and I'm pretty sure that little tradition has been dead ever since...

yeeeeeeah my Chinese boyfriend's parents would also have some things to say about how the Japanese committed many, MANY war crimes during the Nanjing Massacre.

No country is fully innocent, of course, but the Japanese perpetrated some SERIOUSLY heinous war crimes on their surrounding Asian neighbors during the First and Second Sino-Japanese Wars. While that's all in the past and I do not hold "blame" over the currently-living Japanese people for what their ancestors did (same for modern Germans re: the Holocaust), we should never forget, lessen, or discount the things that countries did to one another. Cultural pain can last for generations and we should not make light of it.

This would go on for as long as it took the teachers to get pissed they had to stand outside of a stinky bathroom and miss planning. And they would stop keeping watch . Then it would happen again . Rinse and repeat . So by the action of one messed up kid, we would all lose the freedom of using the bathroom when qe needed to . A girl bled thru her white pants, arguing with a teacher that she had to go because she started early. It was so bad for her and she wasn't the only girl who was affected by this .

There were several, all involving the sophomores when I was a senior. Like, there was something seriously wrong with the class of 2008.
Some highlights:
One kid started printing $20 bills from his dad's office. Apparently he was good at it as the Secret Service paid him a visit.
Multiple incidents of alcohol on campus. My class wasn't innocent in this, we all at one time passed around a bottle of spiked Gatorade. But these kids drank to such excess that they had to be hospitalized. It got to the point where the school banned all water bottles and drinks from home.
And finally, the great thermometer incident of 2006. Basically a group of sophomores broke open an old glass thermometer and played with the mercury inside. They did this in the cafeteria before first bell. So around 2nd period an announcement is made telling everyone who was in the caf before first bell to report to the auditorium immediately. A third of the school shows up, myself included. They then proceed to lock us in and inform us we have to wait to be cleared by a hazmat team. That hazmat team took their sweet f*****g time getting there and we didn't leave the school until 6-7pm. Those of us with jobs basically lost a day's pay. It's been 17 years, and I still wanna throat punch the three stooges who did that.
Edit: I forgot to add, around 2-3pm some rumor started that Hazmat had arrived and was ready to start checking students. this led to hundreds of kids gathering around the stage of the auditorium. A crowd crush almost occurred. One kid was wheeled off on a stretcher with thankfully minor injuries. All of this because some idiot wanted to play with mercury

It's not an affair, even if the student was 18, it's predatory. He should have been in jail not just fired.

School had to replace the gym floor. Theatre club had to redo some props and costumes, which is extra s****y because the play that year was I Never Saw Another Butterfly... A story about the f*****g Holocaust. And they ONLY destroyed the Jewish character costumes, but not the two SS officer costumes that l had literal swastikas on them.

Here's how senior year worked - classes finished 2 weeks before exams started. Exams went on for 2 weeks. Then 2 weeks later there was the graduation and prom. On the last day of classes, the seniors get sent off. It's a pretty big deal with the junior class lining up to hand out flowers and throw confetti as the seniors leave the main school building in a procession. It's really special thing and a part of the larger graduation festivities. Well, the "incident" was that around 30 people from my class of 120 decided to have an all-night party and get absolutely hammered. They showed up to school absolutely blathered. They were spewing in the hallways and running around the outside bench areas screaming and kicking chairs. They didn't show up to any of the classes, and that was kind of important for a send off on the last day of classes. By 11 am, the administration had had enough. Junior classes and below still had about a month of classes to go, so they didn't care about the noisy idiots outside their windows. The dean ended up calling a school assembly where he cancelled the send-off and gave a speech instead about how disappointed he was in my entire graduating year. Everyone in my graduating year was kicked off the school grounds.

When year 12 students at my school finished for the year, the last day (called muck-up day, though we aren't actually allowed to muck up) they ran a whole school assembly as a farewell. Often they will have a year level dance, photo slide show, give out funny awards etc. Anyway, in my sister's year a group of girls were caught doing shots in the bathroom before the assembly. I think they were sent home immediately, principal considered not letting them sit their exams and they were banned from the valedictory formal. In my year level, two of my friends put vaseline on students locker locks, despite being expressly forbidden as it was a common prank, but all their punishment was was to clean up after our lunch, which was a bit tame considering the principal said it didn't matter the level of prank, if caught you would not be allowed to the formal.

There was a suitcase that was left unattended across the street from the school, just standing upright on the sidewalk.

My high school went through a long period of repeated bomb threats being called in. Turns out, it was the kid in my home room I talked with every morning because neither of us had many friends in that room. I realized later he would always showed up a little earlier on the days we had the bomb threats. Turns out he was calling them in because he enjoyed watching the chaos of the teachers reacting to the bomb threats and didn’t want to miss the show 🤦

My school had a bunch of bomb threats too. The threats stopped when the administration announced that we would no longer be sent home early after a threat was called.

We have to do drills for at least one dangerous scenario a term at work (teacher) and I have been working in the industry for 10 years, not once have we actually had a real emergency, let alone all these bomb scares that seem to be common in these posts.

Well, considering I graduated in 1970 from a very small midwestern school largely run by Mennonites, I seem to recall someone 'might' have gotten pregnant. I can still see old Mr. Turner walking down the aisle calling 'two feet/two feet' telling all boys and girls to stay two feet apart. lol Oh the good ole days.

One of the best students from this one class was found to have stolen his teacher's smartphone and online banking details. He got caught when he did the first transaction.
He apparently was into football and wanted to buy some specific football boots but his parents won't let him.

We had a woodshop teacher accidentally cut off 3 of his fingers in front of one of his classes. Ironically, he was teaching about safety when it happened.

Must have been new. Most shop teachers are already missing fingers. Don't wear rings or necklaces. But I laughed my a*s off when a kid with long hair got his hair caught in a drill. It wound up his hair to his skull and the drill knocked him out. Lighten up, he was okay. Those days you MAYBE went to the school nurse. These days people go to ER.

Easter Egg hunt, in 1998. I think five people were injured. One had to be taken by helicopter to the hospital. I was never really sure of the specifics, but apparently some of the parents were trying to cheat and find eggs for their kids, instead of letting the kids do it themselves. This led to arguments and things got out of hand. Fortunately, no one died. And the school didn't ban easter egg hunts. It just banned parents from it

Nothing super exceptional. There wasn’t much crime or deviancy in our small rural town. The best one I can think of is when someone traced a massive c**k and balls onto the frosted games field. Of course, walking on frosted grass can k**l the grass so even after the frost melted there was a huge black d**k etched onto the field. The teachers were the sort who had a conniption fit if you wore a headband that wasn’t black or white, so of course they were APPALLED and DISGUSTED by the whole thing. Also, the guy and girl (dating) who had three kids before they graduated was pretty impressive.

My high school had a lot of pine trees in the front grounds, with an adjacent area of open lawn and low shrubs that sloped down to the main road in front. The word spread like wildfire between classes one day that two senior students were engaging in coitus on the sloping grass area during class time, hidden from the school area but in full view of cars driving past. Some of these drivers called the school to complain, and three teachers were sent out to locate the two students and enforce decency, so to speak. I never heard later what happened to the two students involved. Edit: 'Coitus' used as substitute for 'having sex', bonking, doing the horizontal tango, etc.

School officer k**led himself at home. The day after the news made its way around school some kid wore the Marilyn Manson shirt with a cop putting a gun to his own head. Another kid at my school tried to put a goat curse on a teacher. He was later on a Sally Jesse Raphael episode in full goth talking about how he shaves everywhere but his head. Not my school, but one in the next district had the s*****e that the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam is about.

I'll say it again :) Suícide. Come on, we can face the truth of the word and not hide from it. The word is "suícide". We should not be ashamed or afraid of the word. Hiding and shaming and making even the word itself taboo is what results in people not reaching out when they need help. If any of my fellow Pandas have suícidal thoughts, you are not alone, and you are not unworthy or useless. You are not hated and shunned, you are loved, at least by me, if not others. If you need an ear, my email and my IG are on my bio. I have been where you are standing now, and I can offer a hand (well, a paw) to help you step back, if you need it.

My class had an anonymous blogger a la Gossip Girl who would target each of us in turns like spreading rumours about students and teachers and trying to turn friend groups against each other (this was an all female class). Nothing too dramatic but we spent the whole year trying to figure out who it was (narrowed it down to be someone from our class and from band). In the end we gave up because everyone found her writing style so over the top and annoying and the lack of attention caused the blog posts to appear less frequently til it stopped altogether

3 younger girls (one of them was my classmate's girlfriend at the time) got trampled/suffocated to death in an overcrowded music venue. They let in close to 3000 people which was about double the place's actual capacity, but there were some other damning circumstances (they ushered people through too quickly as the doors were opened late, and apparently someone falsely yelled that someone got stabbed on one of the higher up floors which caused panic and people were trying to flee). I don't think my mate ever really got over it, but at least they cracked down on some places in the area and rules became stricter. Still too many s**t venues around tho.

In my opinion, kids are going to find a way to have sex at school if that's what they want to do, so you may as well keep the gender neutral bathrooms. There are worse things that could happen.

When I was a junior in high school, a kid in the grade below me set our school on fire and successfully burned down a big part of it. It happened in April the Monday after prom. He got caught cheating on the standardized tests that the state of Texas required us to take at that time, and this is how he chose to retaliate for not getting to finish his test. We had just taken the tests, and they were all in the front office waiting to get shipped to the state. Therefore they all burned and we had to retake them.

The senior prank. The school had just poured thousands of dollars into a remodel. New entrance, New Steel welded sign and all new parking lot/entry way. Two months later, weeks before graduation, the sign of the school was rewelded to say So Long and a chemical was poured on the new entry way that read "F**k *name of school*" Edit: there was much debate about whether this was seniors from out school or seniors from a rival school. New security cameras had been installed but they only sort of identified one of the seniors. The kid denied it as he was on the basketball team and had a lot to lose

School was shut down while they spent the day searching for pig #2 until the kids finally admitted there was no pig#2.

I have quite a few stories but I'll start with a big one from this year (my senior year). In the Statistics classes the teachers had the students make up their own surveys to gather stats on certain topics. So the students sent out emails with Google forms attached. Because it was Stat, there were various ways students were chosen to be on the email list of the surveys. So sometimes it was random, and students on the list would be confused because they didn't take Stat. So it started with a student asking to be taken off the email list (which was pointless because it was only meant to be one email and could be ignored) and that made a bunch of people reply to the email also asking to be taken off. But most people who replied had hit "reply all" so you can see where this is going
Jules 2 years ago
Anyway it ended up with that email chain having so many replies that Google took action and flagged he email list as spam which in turn triggered some security thing the school had set up (every student gets an email/Google account issued by the school which is monitored). So anyone who replied to that email chain had their account automatically suspended and couldn't access anything, like ANYTHING. To undo the suspension the students had to go to the tech office which meant the tech office was swarmed with people trying to get their accounts reinstated. This ended up being such a dilemma that the Stat teachers decided to postpone the project and then we (at least my class) never actually got back to it because of the worry that the email chain of spam would happen again.

He was a weird dude, a sports teacher who never participated in sports and always looked kinda high. There was a running joke that he was smoking weed because he would always disappear during lunch breaks. Our school had a rule that only teachers of the same sex could enter the change rooms, i.e female teachers in the female change rooms. This was quickly changed to teachers not being allowed to enter the change rooms at all of students were in there. Chris didn’t care though. He frequently entered the female change rooms while the 12 - 14 year old students were in there, under the guise of telling them to hurry up. He was eventually fired, but the other teachers would never say why. P1
