Back in my middle school, two of my friends fought in the gym. They were broke up and sent to the office, once there they were written up, never truly punished though. That isn't the crazy part though, the crazy part is where next to one of their names they put in parenthesis "Black Kid". The shocking blatant racism from that was surprising.
I gave my teacher the middle finger once during class. But he was so chill about it that it became a running gag between us. One time during lunch, my friends and I went to 7/11. We saw our teacher driving towards us, and I flicked him off. Then he did the same to me. That moment solidified the best day of my high school life.
Another is when my friend was walking back to school from home during lunch. A couple of cops pulled him over suspecting that he was a bank robber because a bank near our school was apparently hit. Nothing happened after that though.
Anyways, all I can remember is that a bunch of students started crowding around a certain area, so I went to check it out but there was a girl, who is just really fucking scary, and this polish kid, who's like a year younger than her.
She's just beating him, to point he was on the floor and she wouldn't even stop there. In fact she repeatedly kicked him in the head. Luckily teachers eventually split it up, I think the girl was excluded for a couple of days? Never really found out what happened to the kid.
Edit: Wait kiddos, I remember another one!
In french class there was this kid who had a bad anger problem. For some reason he got pissed off at the word "anal beads", I don't know why but I think someone bullied him for something he had which looked like them.
Anyways, these three kids kept provoking him to the point where he couldn't take it and flipped over the table. The kid ended up getting in isolation meanwhile the bullies got jackshit for it, never really understood that.
I don't know if I should be amazed from the fact that your friend jumped out the window after a phone, or that you both managed to catch his legs like it's right out of a movie.
I was in 8th grade, and some guy tried to sign his kid out over at the High School, but they wouldn't let him for reasons I'm unaware of. Du… morede said he'd be back, and sure enough he came back a little while later with a weapon. I can't remember exactly what it was, but he was stuck outside of the High School with it. He also had a kid at the Middle School (where I was because we don't have a Jr. High,) so we went into lock-down as well. We were told to get under our desks and what resulted way 3-4 hours of sitting under my desk. Unfortunately, the desks weren't all the big, so I got a kink in my neck from Hell from this.
Also, this didn't happen at my school, but Good Lord, it's so damn weird I have to share this story. I was sitting on the bus going to school, and over the radio I hear "Dunbar Middle School went into lock down this past Monday because of a belieber." I thought I heard it wrong, so I was like "wut." I didn't hear it wrong.… [view original content]

Schools like to punish the victims... It isn't nothing new around the world.
When it goes other way around it's like a rare luxury.
It takes too much research to find out what really happened so they judge on spot.
When I was in middle school I was put in a behavioral unit for kids with "learning disabilities" even though I just had ADD and was taking some medication to help me concentrate which just made me hyper. The class consisted of people who were mostly mentally unstable and delinquents. There was a kid who always got bullied for not having friends, his height, etc. He was so desperate he used to poor what was in his milk carton and lick it off the dirty lunch table for attention of any kind. One day in science he randomly set fire to a chair. He got it pretty easy though, only in jail for like 20 days and a felony charge for arson. He was allowed to come back with close supervision. The thing that bothers me is kids the unit got expelled for calling the principal names, this kid gets a damn near free pass for arson. Fucking Bullshit
It was summer , the last day of school , Even tough it was summer , it rained like hell ,
I was gonna go back home when i saw this girl i knew but never really had a crush on , we talked a little bit , and she was giving me smiles , she was really close to me and really damp , of course it was also very cold ,i i had to put my arm around her shoulders , buti restrained myself from doing it . She was still lookin at me and smiling .When my physic teacher , comes next to me and whisper to my hear "You're gettin it Jimmy , You can do this , you just have to seize it buddy .Take your chance " he then walks away and shout " Seize it !!" while looking at us .I burst in laughing, we walked 5 more minutes and we arrived next to her house . I then gave her a quick kiss on her lips , she then smiled at me .I had it but then I ruined all the moment and asked " Are your parents home ?" .She then got angry and i received the most hurtful slap of my life and a kick right in the bells and she then said "Go away You pervert !!" . The Next year , she never talked to me again . The Worst of all is that by asking that, i didn't mean thatt i wanted to do it with her , but just watch a movie or something .... And that ...Ladies and germs, was my first kiss . And Don't feel too sorry for me guys ! At least she was georgeous .

when i was at school years ago two twins used to pick on me one day after school they went up to me and i punched one of them in the nose an… mored his brother laughed and got one too i still dont know why i did thatvbut they annoyed me through most of my primary school life i got in trouble by his form teacher but it was worth it and my parents didnt care that they got punched because they knew they deserved it never got picked on at that school again till we moved to another place
I went to a quiet, rural high school so this one stood out.
Some kid a couple grades below me walked up to another kid in the cafeteria, … morepulled out a Swiss Army knife and stabbed him right in the gut. The response was pretty spectacular. Somebody screamed "____ HAS A KNIFE!" and like 40 of us (including the poor kid that got shanked) dogpiled the guy. In hindsight, it was stupid but in the crowd hivemind it made perfect sense!
The guy who got stabbed didn't even notice at first, but the knife punctured some organs. Thankfully medical staff was there really quick.
Other than that, nothing EVER happened.

There was this one time my English teacher in 7th grade gave us a lecture on how to dispose of a dead body. She was telling us how they're h… moreeavier than non-dead bodies, and said something against trying a car with it into the water. Yeah she was new and got fired that year.
Last year, on a day we shouldn't have had school because it was snowing, we had quite an interesting day. I go to school about a hour before it starts, so I'm never late and can chat with my friends. Because of this, I avoided most of the delays on the road. Around the bell that let us go to 1st period I went to my Spanish class with like one girl and our teacher. We were on our phones looking for a cancellation notice, nothing came, but on the loudspeaker they called everyone done to the auditorium because there wasn't enough teachers there's . So for I think about a hour (probably way less than that) we were in there talking, one of my friends saying 'Start a revoluti… [view original content]

Well, I went to a terrible middle school. A teacher got pushed down the stairs, a kid got his head busted open, my science teacher had terrible anger management issues, the science room flooded because a kid didn't get a piece of candy from said science teacher, a food fight; it was a mess and I hated that school with all my heart.
Anyway, in my 8th grade year for some reason a few 7th graders thought it would be smart to bring in alcohol. A few people got tipsy and I guess one even got drunk? (Don't quote me on that one) The staff found out about it because of how the students smelled like alcohol and thus banned any outside drinks from coming into the school. You could bring in a bottle of water and they would force you to dump it out. This also applied to juice boxes as well because they were idiots. If you wanted a drink, you had to bring in a water bottle empty and fill it up with the terrible tasting school water.
The school is still bad today, I heard that a substitute teacher stormed out of the school because of how bad the older kids were.
Once I was in a hot tub with my friends at one's house. And one friend goes to walk in the hot tub and slips while getting in and stumbles all around while trying to keep his Mountain Dew can from spilling. At this time I was drinking Dr. Pepper and I laughed really hard and choked on it and threw up a little bit in the hot tub and everyone ran out.
I really just felt like telling that story for some reason.
Some kids at my school stole a wooden statue of the school mascot from its display case. They then took it to the house of the teacher who was meant to be in charge of it and took a series of polaroids with ransom note type captions (next to his pet cat, sitting in a fireplace, etc) and made Max Caulfield style collage and left it in the display case the statue should have been in.
The principal wanted them for theft and trespassing, but the teacher thought it was hilarious. He let my whole class know he thought it was hilarious, that he knew the culprit was in this class, that the principal wanted the police involved, and that the case would be unlocked between the hours of 2-5pm. Statue came back, so no names were named.
We had someone call the school with a bomb threat once, supposedly it was in the kiln in our school's art rooms. It was pretty freaky, the alarm went off and everyone 'evacuated' to the schools oval. Turns out...there wasn't a bomb, just a bunch of teenage pranksters...but we got off the class for a while which was good haha.
Other than that, mainly just snakes. I live in Australia and we've had quite a few class evacuations hahaha. Nothing to 'crazy' though.
My teachers always told me to 'just ignore it', which releases the bullies from being held accountable for their actions. It shouldn't the job of victims to put up with dickheads, it's the teacher's damn job to actually hold these assholes responsible.
Schools like to punish the victims... It isn't nothing new around the world.

Funny story, right? Me and my class were all huddled in the gym, doing what we do, y'know? Some nonsense was going on outside, sounded a little life threatening, so some girl we knew took a bunch of pills. Next thing we know, her friends went inside to go see if she was okay, and she straight up ate a bitch. By then, the whole gym was freaking out. We all managed to get out of there and run for the hills. It was just me, my friend, and my teacher. After months of surviving out in the wilderness with no cell phone signal, my teacher stepped into an altered bear trap. Some guys came running to help us and had to cut his freaking leg off, that was pretty gruesome. Then my friend got eaten by some people, also gruesome, and the guys took me and my teacher to some motor inn they were hiding out in.
The rest is history.
I guess you just had to have been there, it was pretty funny.

Many handjobs were given out at the back of history. Most by my ex-girlfriend apparently. I remained completely opinionless on the matter. A… morend that's just among other things.
Apparently people often talk about about the spotless saints that 2003's seniors were. Hahahahahahahahahaha.
I've had a bunch of experiences. But I think these are the craziest for me:
The first happened to me in elementary school. I was sitting … moreon the ground with other kids at a talent show in the gym. A little girl was on stage and halfway through her performance she started to cry. I was casually talking to my friend next to me like any normal kid would do. When suddenly, an older woman came out of nowhere, squatted down in front of me. She told me to look at her, which I did for some reason. Then she ranted into my face about how "very difficult" it is to get up on stage and other crazy nonsense I don't even remember. All the other kids around me were quiet and she just calmly walked away afterwards. She later quit her job at the school the next year. I still don't know why she did what she did to me. I think she has serious mental problems.
The second was in high school. It was during lunch break and I was by the front office with other s… [view original content]

Not too long ago, I was just hanging around with my friends at lunch (And this is in high school). And we're all just sitting down, having a… more grand time, and then in front of us, we see two guys looking at each other. One small guy and one big guy. And then a circle begins to form around them.
Of course, in history it's known that the classic beginning of a fight is to have a big circle formed around you. So We watched as a huge circle formed around these two guys (Who we could still see) and that some monitors were coming to eventually keep the peace. And then before we know it, the big guy drops down and does the splits. Seamlessly and effortlessly. The big circle cheers and disperses, and the monitors don't know what to do with themselves.

Sounds like one of those people who are more concerned about their car than if anyone got hurt (themselves included.)
Really showing those kids the future justice system they'll live in.
Geez, the boy punched a woman teacher in the face. Damn.
When I was in middle school I was put in a behavioral unit for kids with "learning disabilities" even though I just had ADD and was taking some medication to help me concentrate which just made me hyper. The class consisted of people who were mostly mentally unstable and delinquents. There was a kid who always got bullied for not having friends, his height, etc. He was so desperate he used to poor what was in his milk carton and lick it off the dirty lunch table for attention of any kind. One day in science he randomly set fire to a chair. He got it pretty easy though, only in jail for like 20 days and a felony charge for arson. He was allowed to come back with close supervision. The thing that bothers me is kids the unit got expelled for calling the principal names, this kid gets a damn near free pass for arson. Fucking Bullshit

Had a feeling the girl was ghetto from that first sentence.
I hate it when one fuck up causes everyone to get in trouble. Why the fuck can't anyone get that through their thick ass skulls?
Glad to see parents not go bat shit crazy over their kid defending themselves.
What happened to the kid with the knife?
Holy fuck, I'm staying single after this.
yeah my parents were aware and reported it but the teachers wouldnt do a thing about it and one day i couldnt take it anymore
