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.

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.

Dodged a bullet. She had transferred in from somewhere. Pretty sure she was desperate for friends and was love bombing me. I was dumb and naive.

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

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.

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.

Well there were a couple suicides, underage pregnancies, one of my classmates having sex with a teacher (F 16, M40+), a teacher who got shot on a bus, and another teacher who died suddenly in a car crash because he was recklessly driving with a sex worker.

But none of that transcended as "the incident". Personally what was most memorable to me was the time a large gasoline truck crashed and tipped over right at the gates of the school. It didn't catch fire but it got messy fast. Class got cancelled, the street ( a busy avenue) got cut so they could spray some substance on the spill. Fun times hey.

kid trying to score points with the cool kids squeezed an orange section on the lowest kid on the totem. Lowest kid calmly stood up. Went over to the juice squeezing kid and suddenly started to choke the piss out of him then got a hold of himself and calmly sat down and finished his lunch.

Can you translate this?

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 3 months ago

An orange slice was squeezed above the head of the kid that was the lowest in the social hierarchy in order to cover them in juice.

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.

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..

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

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.

This happened the year before I moved to the school, but at the beginning of the new school year I heard a lot of whispers about it and once saw a teacher shut down a conversation amongst a group of students about it.

So only ever hearing this third hand, it went something like this: a group of jocks abducted one of their friends after school one day. They took him out to someone's farm land blind folded, tied him up in a tree (or on a cross) and terrorized him by doing crazy shit like running a chainsaw close between his legs.

The kid they did this too immediately became an outcast skater punk who played in the local metal band. I got to know him a little bit through my girlfriend at the time and he was really cool. I have no idea why they did that too him. I don't know what, it any, punishment was handed down to the perpetrators. I know the school district wanted to expel them but it didn't happen during school.

It was common that year for kids from the neighboring town to drive by and yell stuff like "HEY LET'S GO CRUCIFY ONE OF OUR OWN PLAYERS!"

I also got reprimanded by a teacher for joking about kidnapping a friend of mine in order to force him to pay back the various $5 he had borrowed from everyone in our friend group. It was 100% a joke of course but I didn't realize what poor taste it was at the time.

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.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think there's one city where a Hitler salute would be "good": Atlantis.

  1. Hitler himself fetishized the myth
  2. Whoever does the salute would drown and disappear.

I'm not sure how much of a scandal it was outside of those directly affect, but I was in the circle. A group of us, led by one of the younger drama teachers, went to the Edinburg Fringe Festival (a big literary, drama and comedy festival) with a bunch of short comic plays by Checkov (yes, really!). he was attractive enough that he had to make sure not to be alone in a room with a female student in case of rumours, but he was decent and would never had done anything like that. He got his wife and his brother involved too, which was cool, we all got on really well. We had a lot of fun, it was great, and, amazingly for the first time at the Fringe, didn't actually lose money! (I think we made like fifty quid between twelve of us, so we didn't exactly make a profit either, but it was an amazing experience)

Then his brother and his wife had an affair and ran away together

Ok, this happened in another school near my own, a catholic school run by priests strict to the point of unreasonable, asshole-level old school strict, they even applied corporal punishment every once in a while.

The story spread like wildfire, there were a ton and a half of cross-school friendships between that particular school and mine. This was "somewhere in Mexico", to keep it anonymous.
Strap in, it's a long story but it's a doozy.

There was this really overweight kid, he wasn't bullied or anything, he had friends and everything.
One day in the middle of class, he raised his hand - "May I be excused? I really need to go to the restroom", and the dismally unsurprising response was - "Certainly NOT! Learn to hold it in! bE a MaN!" A few minutes later, a foul stench spread across the classroom. The kid didn't say anything, he just got up and walked out, as everybody stared in a stunned silence.

Everyone in class stormed the windows from inside to see the kid as he walked across the school yard towards the restrooms, on its' own building, and locked himself inside. One classmate suddenly yelled out - "The shitter!", and within a few seconds the entire classroom joined in a loud chorus - "THE SHITTER! THE SHITTER!"

Par for the course with these sociopathic and incompetent priests, everyone knew there was no paper in the restrooms, a common occurrence.

This poor kid stayed locked inside the restroom as a teacher here and a priest there knocked on the door and attempted to negotiate. This went on for a couple of hours, until the kid's brother arrived at school, walked across the yards, carrying a fresh change of clothes, knocked on the restroom door and was let inside.

By this point, everything in school was at a standstill, every single student in every single classroom was glued to the windows, staring in silence. You could hear a pin drop. Then the door opened, kid and his brother walked out, and headed for the school exit.

Then one kid shouted - "The shitter!", and now the ENTIRE school, from every classroom window, joined in the chorus - "THE SHITTER! THE SHITTER!!!"

The poor kid never did return, he transferred to another school. On the one hand, surely out of shame, but on the other, because the casual, mindless and indifferent cruelty the goddamned priests imposed on children. In a more empathetic, humane school, this would have not happened.

Here's the cool epilogue - when this kid attended high school some years later, nobody bothered him about the incident, he had his own band of friends, went to parties and everything. When the story was told, the emphasis was on the asshole priests. That's a comforting thought.

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.

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.

Kid drank thallium rat poison, in an attempt to commit suicide. Thing is, thallium doesn't kill you, it just makes you vomit a LOT. So they had to evacuate the classroom because there was a bunch of thallium and vomit everywhere.

The best part is we weren't allowed to leave for 2 hours, because this happened at like 10 and they still wanted the day to count for the school year.

One kid sniffed lighter gas and jacked off during 9th grade chemistry class. He passed out and fell off his chair and hit his head to the floor with his dick still clutched in his hand.

The teacher was so terrified that she couldn't do anything but stutter and shake violently. Me and a couple of my friends dragged the idiot outside to get fresh air while waiting for the ambulance.

The sniffer came back to school the next day like nothing had ever happened. This incident was never again discussed in any way by the teachers or other faculty members.

There were lots of totally crazy shit happening on a weekly basis. The early 90's were pretty wild where I grew up.

Ugh. We caught a kid doing that in my high school library last May. We radioed for help. The campus supervisor walked him outside, talked to him about it, and sent him back to us to finish the test he was working on. I couldn't believe it. Later, we told admin about it and had to write witness statements. He was a freshman and said it's what he does at home when he's sitting around, and didn't realize he was doing it. None of the students know, as far as I'm aware. We all kept it very quiet.
