My friend used to be cool with this one girl, but he apparently sent something stupid which pissed her off and made her despise him. She decides that it would be funny to lie about being raped by him. Half the grade believes her and my friend’s social life is absolutely shattered.

It’s been a few years since it has happened but people still mention it in jokes and shit, which he thinks are funny, so at least something good came out of it. As for the girl she hasn’t really received any repercussions for her actions.

A couple of students blew up a cinder block wall. A hole large enough to drive an old style mini through.

The wall divided up two tennis courts and rubble was scattered to every corner of those courts.

This happened at lunch time, when those courts were packed with students.

Someone should have been killed, but not one injury, not one..

Filled the wall with aerosols through a small hole, then ignited it.

The theater teacher was caught having sex with a student in the theater, got proof from his phone that he had done it plenty of other times with other kids too.

Also some football players abused Adderall to give them an edge while playing, one died and another got brain damage and will never walk again.

A nearby highschool's waterpolo coach was caught having sex with students too.

Girl who had a crush on me (and dumbass me was very slowly figuring this out) got in trouble in class for mouthing off, and when the teacher told her to go to the principal's office she refused. He grabbed her by the arm and she kicked the teacher in the balls. HARD. I never saw her again. I think she had a number of issues. But damn, she was hot.

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Kid nearly lopped an arm off another kid with a samurai sword. Guess he was bullied and he lost his shit one day. Kid with the sword got help, and the kid who got cut didn't lose an arm.

If I lived in a country with lax gun control, this would have been a much different situation.

We had a girl in middle school who was raped by her uncle and carried the pregnancy to term and, IIRC, graduated high school. She was impregnated at age 11. The wealthy white girls who got pregnant were all disappeared as soon as it was known.

Rural Ohio, almost entirely white school - mid-to-late '90s. Bunch of kids decided to form kinda gangs. One wore cowboy hats and boots. I forget the other. Apparently, a bunch came armed to a football game for some kind of "gang war". Thankfully, that never materialized, but I do know that some definitely came armed. WTF people. No non-whites were allowed in said gangs. (This brought to you by the town with white supremacists and anti-Semites who would say "that's Jewish" to mean something was uncool).

Edit: both of these public school in the same school system.

An art teacher gave some students a camera for an assignment. Apparently it contained images of his genitalia.

[–] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

That was me. Girlfriend and I got pregnant when I was 15 and again at 17. Kept both and got a job. Studied hard and graduated 19th in my class with honors. Ton of negativity from school staff and loss of friends which is still hard to let go of. We did marry the fall after I graduated and after years of poverty things have slowly gotten more stable.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Some guy peed in a handdryer. Which is weird but even weirder was that the principal did a 15 min sprach about how the perpetrator has mental problems and needs to seek help. It was really funny.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We have 2 major incidents

First one:

Dude A lends Dude B some money, relatively small amount, pretty sure it was less than $50. Dude B decides he's not going to pay it back, so like mature, reasonable teenagers they decide they're going to go to the park after school to fight about it.

Dude A is not a big guy, he asks Dude C who is a giant of a human being to come along just to make sure he doesn't get killed, sort of a referee to pull dude B off of him if things get out of hand, not expecting him to step in or lend a hand or anything.

Dude B apparently has a different idea about how this is going to go down, and has a few friends come along with him with screwdrivers and baseball bats and other such improvised weapons.

Dude C sees this as they're about to walk off the school property to fight, and does his job, takes these weapons, throws them in his bag, throws his jacket over the protruding bat, and they're about to continue on their way.

The school, however, got word of this fight about to go down, and a bunch of cops show up.

Dude A lucks the fuck out and a passing senior he kind of knew pulls him into her car and assures the police that he wasn't involved in this clusterfuck. None of the other kids give him up and he gets off scott-free and cops never figured out who the last unnamed party to this was.

The rest of them are all taken in, questioned, and receive their various punishments. Dude C gets the worst of it since he's the guy who's now holding all the weapons. He goes and spends a year or so at an alternative school, and is allowed to come back partially on the condition that he joins the football team. Our senior year we proceeded to win 0 football games, so fat lot of good having a giant on the team did.

Apparently dude C had misled his friends about how much money this was over, when informed by the cops that it was over like $40 he flew into a small rage, threw some things around, then calmly sat down and said "I have been misinformed"

Rumors of course start swirling and the truth gets very lost to the point I heard a version of the story where Dude C attacked the cops with a samurai sword and tried to flee on a motorcycle.

I'm pretty confident that this is a pretty accurate version of events though, a couple of the involved parties have all told me pretty much the exact same story, and it's relatively unspectacular compared to some of the embellished versions I've heard. It's also pretty much in line with what I know of their personalities.

For the most part, these kids weren't dangerous, I don't think any of them really had any other significant problems for the rest of their school career, and I'd describe most of them as nerds and generally decent people, some of them have some mental/emotional baggage, and couple that with some hormones and being stupid teenagers the stars just kind of aligned in the wrong way, and for the most part none of them held any significant grudges against each other and could probably have been considered friends to some extent afterwards.

Second incident:

I'm home sick one day, my mom worked at a school in our district, my sister was in school this day.

The phone rings, it's an automated message from the district. Something about the district being made aware of a threat to the high school, but that everything is under control, there's no danger, etc. not a lot of details.

Call my mom, she doesn't have much more info than I do, she's, not particularly worried, but of course a lot of parents panic and go to pick up their kids. She texts my sister to see if she wants to be picked up, she declines, she's having a good time, it's her and like 3 other people left in her class, they're chilling and watching movies and such, there's a news crew and some cop cars outside of the school.

Having nothing better to do, I'm going through all the news I can to figure out what's up.

Eventually, it took a few days for all of the details to emerge, what we managed to piece together was

There was a kid who was planning a shooting, tried to recruit another kid who turned him in. Cops raided his house, found a bunch of airsoft guns, flea market swords, a half-built pipe bomb, and one gun (that his parents bought him) with no ammo.

This kid had been pulled out of school and was being homeschooled because of bullying. I didn't know him, he was a few years younger than me, but from what I understand from people who knew him he was mostly bullied because he was an unlikeable racist asshole. The short bit of attention the media gave it tried to make it out like he was bullied for being fat (and let's make no mistake, this dude was fat he may have been almost as wide as he was tall) but from the stories I've heard of him from before this happened, if any kid ever deserved bullying it was him for being such a major asshole.

I wouldn't really mention his fatness, except that at some point during the trial and such, his mom (herself a very large lady) got in trouble for trying to smuggle him food, which was just icing on the proverbial cake.

The kid who turned him then went and broke into his house a little while later and tried to steal his Xbox or something.

That sounded like you were talking about Cartman.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

A student and her football player boyfriend were caught behind the school after a game making out and probably more. The girl was made to publicly apologize to the class and then "strongly encouraged" to leave and finish her high school somewhere else. The boy faced no public repercussions and appeared to carry on as normal.

Let's call her "Jenny". For about a year, any time someone pushed the line on public displays of affection per school rules, they were warned to tone it down or they would get "Jenny'd".

Catholic school, in case you couldn't guess.

So one day a friend of mine came over when we were 14, around 25 years ago. He had a piece of newspaper with him and said : check this shit out. It was a big article about a teacher that had a "relationship" with a student. He made me read the whole thing and it was clearer and clearer that it was our school at the time. Not only that, it was also his girlfriend involved. It was super odd. She was like 13 and he was around 60. I don't really remember the details, but it was a lot of love letters being sent back and forward.

I thought this would be the biggest bombshell in the history of bombshells and could only imagine what monday at school would be like. Long story short, she moved away like IMMEDIATELY, and i have no idea whatever happened to the teacher, but as far as i remember nothing really except that he became a teacher at another school, and no one really ever talked about it, but everyone knew. It was quite bizarre

One of my classmates did the Hitler salute and exclaimed "Heil Hitler" - an expression which is (rightfully) penalized in Germany, where I live.

The guy was a son of our local police officer.

He didn't got expelled, but he had a very stern talk with our school director. I presume that it was made clear to him that if this ever happens again, he's out. From what I heard last, in the last few years he was really ashamed of what he did when he was younger. I sincerely hope he is doing okay now - he got into the police, and people like him who recognize that being right isn't cool are needed.

Coincidentally my school is in Dessau; our city is well-known for producing Zyklon B, a lethal gas used in KZs across Germany, and a "case of sudden self-igniting" of a migrant called Oury Jalloh in a police cell. Obviously all the camera footage of that cell randomly broke down, there was blood found in the dining room and the guy didn't have anything to lit himself on fire with. But that all obviously is just a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not a good city to do the Hitlers salute in (if there ever was any, which - surprise - doesn't), tbh.

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Remember a story a teacher told the class where it looked like a student had fallen asleep so she got her friend to try to wake her up but then a pool of blood starting leaking out of her arms

Turns out she had a nose bleed and went unconscious after trying to hide said nose bleed instead of telling the teacher

Australia btw

Kid got caught beating his meat in the school library.

[–] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
  • the urinal shitter (exactly what it sounds like, he was never caught)
  • a notable/well-liked student athlete was suffering from depression and sadly took his own life
  • the cool young teacher ended up being a pedo and his victim was a 15 y/o girl he was tutoring
  • someone called in violent threats to interfere with notable school events (sports games, tests, etc.); this happened multiple times and then we never heard about it again, nobody in my circle ever heard anything about who it was

I had a band teacher that I highly respected in high school. He took a band program that was the worst in the state, a complete shit show, and made it an award winning program. I always saw some of the students hanging out with him in his office at lunch, never thought about it my self or noticed that it was all girls. Fast forward a couple of years after I graduated, I'm working in a local popular sandwich shop down the road from the school. I always saw this one girl who would come in and get his lunch order. I asked her, and she said she was the student assistant for him. The school setup a program after I graduated to earn working experience as student assistants. It turns out the teacher was having an affair with this girl, who was only 17. The school district IT admin found explicit emails between them on the schools email system, and things went haywire. And since the law at the time in my state was 16 was the age of consent, it wasn't illegal. But it was still a huge scandal, married teacher sleeping with his student. The school forced him to resign and the girls family told him to never contact her or come near them. Once she graduated, they got married and are still married to this day.

Wut. In the UK the age of consent is raised in the circumstance of a teacher

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The schools I know have specific rules of conduct that says anyone who works at the school can not have a relationship with a student, and also for two years after the student has graduated or left the school. And that’s apart from age of consent.

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm all for age of consent, but considering that you can have graduates as old as 19-20, and teachers as young as 23-24, I have to admit it seems a bit strange to put restrictions on what they can do outside of (1) what is legal, and (2) what effects their job (like having a relationship with a current student, especially one that you teach).

Like, I know several people in my graduating high-school class that were with someone older than our youngest teacher, a couple of which are still together with the person 10 years later.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We had Shitler. Someone kept defecating in the boys washroom and drawing swastikas on the walls with it. The staff couldn't figure out who it was, and started closing down washrooms. At one point there were only 1 or 2 men's washrooms open - and Shitler still struck again. No one ever found out who it was.
