These Kids Had The Nerve To Pull Off These 32 Unhinged Things In School Without Hesitation
Interview With Expert
It’s strange how sometimes, kids have more guts to do something that even adults wouldn’t dream of doing. Probably, they don’t have the fear of being judged, or sometimes, they are just unaware of the consequences. Either way, it really throws a light on how “creative” they are.
This “creativity” is quite universal because kids doing wild things is highly common everywhere, right? When a netizen asked folks to share such instances that happened in school, they revealed some crazy stories. Trust me, some of them will have you laughing out loud with their absurdity. Just scroll down and check them out!

Kid slammed a door open and they made him pay for the damages. They never replaced the door so a few months later he came in with a drill and removed it because “he paid for it”.

My friend accidentally broke a glass door to a school courtyard by kicking it lightly as he tried to signal us to open it as his hands were full. At first the school was pissed and were going to punish him but when it was pointed out that the door was pane glass and not safety glass and he's lucky he wasn't hurt the school suddenly dropped the issue

Some students would move a teachers car. It was a very small and light car. One time they put it inside the school.

Not that crazy but one time a kid took his hearing aids out mid teacher yelling at him and she was LIVID he just kept gesturing oops can’t hear you

This is hilarious 😂😂 if I had hearing aids I’d do the same thing
While some of the incidents might seem funny, there is definitely a lot more to the story that might trigger kids to act in such a way. I don't know about you, but I definitely thought so. To gain deeper insight into this, Bored Panda reached out to teacher and principal Jyoti D., who has been in the teaching profession for the past 22 years.
As someone who has witnessed a lot of bizarre actions from students, she claimed that a lot of wild behavior comes down to one word: attention. She also added that whether it's trying to make classmates laugh, stand out from the crowd, or even test a teacher’s patience, many students are just looking to be noticed.
"But it's not always that simple; sometimes it's boredom, other times it’s peer pressure, and occasionally, it's just a really creative kid trying to entertain themselves in a place that doesn’t always value creativity. I’ve also seen cases where a prank was actually a coping mechanism for something going on at home. So while the behavior might seem outrageous on the surface, there's usually a story underneath it," Jyoti explained.

My sixth grade english teacher was british, so every time she would walk towards a student, they would yell "the british are coming!"

Was reading High Times (I was 17 and hadn't even smoked weed yet - that was about three months down the road) in math class and the teacher caught me and sent me to the principal office. Principal calls home and gets my mom and I can hear the whole conversation - "Caught Nova reading High Times" "Where is he now?" "He's here in the office with me" "Give him his magazine back and send him to class" "Okay" and he did. My mom was a big weed smoker as a teen, and went to woodstock, she didn't care if I smoked a little weed so long as I wasn't doing harm.

a kid stole a school bus multiple days in a row but parked it back perfectly so they couldn’t tell until one day he got caught on a security camera 30mins away💀
Margaret Wartime 4 months ago
Jfc. Once when I worked at a bar one of my best patrons was too drunk to drive 900m down the road for a pack of smokes so he asked if I’d drive his truck. The “truck” in question was a semi with a trailer attached 😅 I was young and stupid and agreed to do it. Holy f those things are hard to drive, a lot harder than I thought it would be. I almost went in the bushes. (It was a remote area truck stop bar and only the bar and the gas station existed on this road, no pedestrians or traffic) in hindsight it’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done. I imagine a bus is much easier but the sheer length of it, idk how a kid who can’t drive handled it without damaging anything but that’s weirdly impressive 😅
Our expert also expressed that such actions by kids are often a means of standing out by fitting in. She has noticed that many kids act out not just to be seen, but to be seen by the right people - usually their peers. Jyoti claimed that there’s a weird social currency in being the class clown or the one who ‘got away with it.’
"For some, it’s about claiming a kind of power or identity in a system where they otherwise feel invisible. Others just want to belong to the group that laughs the loudest. Either way, the behavior usually says more about what the student needs than what they're trying to disrupt," she added.
During such times, she believes it's always best to understand why the student did it, rather than just punishing him/her for it.

My little sister smuggled the class bearded dragon out of the tank in a tissue box because it was neglected (big w tbh)
Margaret Wartime 4 months ago
My friend has a bearded dragon. First time I met him, my friend put him in my arms so his lil front feet were on my shoulders. He stared into my eyes and started flexing his feet like he was giving me a shoulder massage 😂 I ended up cuddling him on my chest under my chin for the next hour, he was such a perfect weight and his skin was so nice and cool. It was like a snuggly kitty but without the fur lol

While giving a guitar lesson I heard a dripping and saw the kid was actively peeing while playing. I said “Hey bud, bathroom is down the hall and no need to ever ask” he said “I’m good now”.
Jyoti also discussed that she has definitely seen rule-breaking used as a form of expression, especially by students who feel like they don’t have many other outlets.
"Whether it’s making a statement, challenging authority, or just trying to be heard, some kids treat rebellion like their personal art form. That said, not all of it is deep; plenty of students act out simply because they’re bored or overwhelmed," she noted.
She also stressed that when the school environment feels rigid or stressful, rule-breaking can become a release valve. For some, it’s a message; for others, it’s just a normal Tuesday, she added.

Some kid ate uncooked ramen in the middle of my social studies class, like put the flavoring packet on it and everything. The only sound in the class was his crunching.
Margaret Wartime 4 months ago
Oh that used to be a big thing when I was in elementary school. Our concession even sold packs of Mr Noodles and they were insanely popular for this reason. You dump the seasoning packet in and then crush the bag up and shake it, and then eat it like chips. Kids used to spread rumours that eating raw ramen noodles would give you worms and that’s literally why I stopped doing it, because as an 8 YO who didn’t know better that sounded awful 😂

Mid 80s a boy from Yugoslavia joined my year at school. He was weird & didn't make many friends, but everyone was impressed by his home-made fireworks & smoke bombs. Following year he was at the same college when I heard Police had been called. Someone had reported seeing "smoke" coming from his jacket pocket. It was a bottle of concentrated acid he'd stolen from the college science lab. When the Police took him home, laid out on his bedrokm desk they discovered all the ingredients for making TNT... except the acid he'd been caught with!
In our expert's opinion, students often act out the most when they feel powerless. She feels that when kids don’t feel heard, respected, or in control of their environment, wild behavior becomes a way to reclaim some of that power, even if it’s disruptive.
Jyoti added, "Whether it’s flipping a desk, starting a food fight, or pulling a ridiculous stunt, it’s often less about causing trouble and more about saying, ‘I exist. Notice me.’ I have seen that the loudest outbursts sometimes come from the quietest struggles."
Jyoti strongly believes that punishing these kids is actually disrespecting the job. "Of course, kids should be held responsible for their actions and taught about the consequences they can have. But you are only a good teacher when you understand these children and not because you were successful in 'disciplining' them," she explained.

We had two teens capture a baby skunk and bring it into the library once. Either baby was too young/dumb to spray or she really enjoyed herself.

A kid in my school flooded the upstairs bathroom and it got so bad it was going down the halls and there was people sliding down the halls like it was a slip n slide
Uncle Panda 4 months ago
From the Slip-n-Slide failed products catalog - Sewer-slide! We put the pooo back in Summer Fun!
Jyoti told us that she has seen so many such incidents, and many times, she had to control her laughter because of how absurd it was. We asked her to share a fun one with us, and here it goes:
"One of our new hires, a science teacher, always kept picking on this one kid because he failed to do the homework once. Instead of maturely handling it, she always insulted him in front of the whole class. No idea where he got them from, but for a whole week, he kept releasing rats, frogs, or lizards during her lectures, which caused complete chaos among the students!"
Honestly, I think the kid was pretty "creative," right? Anyway, folks, that's it from our end, as we leave you to giggle along to the rest of the list. Spare upvotes for your favorite stories, and also share your stories in the comments below!

C-backwardsN-P, judging by the colour, I'm going to guess something like сирень which is lilac in Russian. No, I don't speak Russian, process of elimination because I am a very bored panda.

I glued the test to the teacher’s desk. When she picked it up to run off copies it ripped. This was in the 80s. No word processors. Everything was typewritten. She was livid. Friends ratted me out.

A kid at my school made a tattoo gun with the motor of a pencil sharpener an ink pen, and a piercing needle and was giving out free tattoos.
Margaret Wartime 4 months ago
LOL one of my friends did this. He has “love life” tattooed above his knee, very sloppily done and clearly with a homemade rig. Also, it’s upside down if you’re standing in front of him looking at it, because he drew it so it was facing him 😂 he’s in his 30s now and we love to rag on him about it
What do you think ?

I pulled off two epic heists in HS. It was a catholic school so we sometimes had mass you could attend, or you could go to class. If you went to mass you got a slip of paper when you left to show to your teacher the next day validating you went to mass.. I stole a wad of those slips and handed them out to a few dozen people so we could all take the morning off - no mass, no class. The second time had a food truck pull up to deliver to the cafeteria - I slipped into the back of the truck and stole a whole tub of ice cream and we all ate like kings. To counter that I once saved the school from burning down, so they owed me a morning off and some ice cream.

Once I was in science class. Next door was the Foods (cooking) class. My friend M, who was mildly psycho so not very popular, but one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, thought it would be hilarious to take a big butcher knife from her Foods class and walk over to my science classroom and stand in the doorway holding the knife like Michael Myers and giving my friends and I the most unhinged psycho grin 😂 the popular kids lost their S**T. Started screaming and freaking out, and M got in HUGE trouble. So many kids’ parents complained the next day that M was referred to a psychiatrist and had to sit there and explain that she wasn’t murderous or s******l, just a weirdo 😂 the older I get the funnier it is to me. This was probably 2007-2008. (PS this was not the US, school violence isn’t really a thing here, we only have earthquake and fire drills lol. But I totally understand why it would have been scary for some. It’s funny to me because I know M wouldn’t hurt a fly but most of the student body thought she was super weird and didn’t like her, and so this “joke” backfired so, so hard on her 😂 that’s why it’s funny, she messed up real bad hahaha, she laughs about it too.)
