The teacher who had the break in? What is the kids problem? There were 2 other kids involved, why is this kid in particular doing this.

[@adamgonzalez9013]

Robin Williams once said, "There's something worse than being alone; and it's being surrounded by people who make you feel alone!" Get rid of people who don't support you!

[@andrewdb01]

VERY wise words. :)

[@karynbanksley7110]

That means that lots of marriages will need to end.

[@luckiestunluckypersonever4278]

But shouldn’t we all have the right frame of mind too not let others influence our moods? In a perfect world, right? I know someone who is so miserable that I can be in the best of moods and then this person enters the room and says something that makes me feel like I am in the wrong place.

[@JulieMcCloe-uh8pk]

I love robin Williams very good actor I miss him so much

[@IAmTheSkinThief]

​@karynbanksley7110 then so be it.

[@MichelleMeckley]

The first story is a great example of people mistaking kindness for weakness and being in a position of authority but wanting to be "friends" with your students or wanting to be seen as 'the cool' teacher. If you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. And they won't respect you, they'll take advantage of you. Both of my cousins are teachers and they are brothers. One is *very* strict, the other does a good job of striking a balance between strict and lenient. They're both good teachers, they just have different teaching styles and approaches to how they teach and what they will or will not tolerate. Teaching is a hard job, especially these days. My generation didn't have to deal with lockdowns and children worried about school shooters so it can't easy for the children either.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

Machiavelli says that’s it’s better to be cruel and then show kindness then to be kind and try to be cruel. When you’re kind they take advantage of that and then when u try to lay down the law and punish them they feel betrayed as if you’re being out of line and unfair. But if u start out strict and have 0 tolerance and then ease up and be nicer they’ll show appreciation for it instead of anger.

[@TheUKisThere]

@psychokittyletsplayandmore8589 Money doesn’t always equal happiness.

[@lemarch57]

Story 1: Document and let authorities know. Also, you’re putting your fiancé at risk by not telling her. That kid is dangerous because he is continuing to stalk you. You’re giving him signals there are no consequences for his actions.

[@jbrennan381]

Yup. And he'd be doing that kid a favor if he pressed charges. He's going to end up getting shot one day if he goes down that route

[@CeeJay366]

Agreed!!! He's clearly a little psychopath.

[@nkaujnom1255]

Agree- call the police

[@francesbell9465]

Well-said 👏👏

[@PLCTheCd]

I am on the phone so,, sorry for any errors.. He js a complete lost cause and people like him simply do not want peace.

[@chopsandtoots]

Story 2 is why you never give in to peer pressure. Good friends won't push you into doing illegal things. It's sad that he was so desperate to fit in that he ruined a portion of his life.

[@Regalia85]

I love the fact that I don't have to come up with my own nightmares anymore when I sleep. You're doing it for me.

[@sherylsocia4496]

Story #1, no more chances. Something really bad could happen. Call the cops. Have a weapon handy

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

Or just go up to him in school and whisper in his ear next time I won’t hesitate to shoot

[@EastKYbrushcutter]

Teachers fault on that one. Don’t try to be the “cool teacher”, then rescind and attempt to be an actual one…like how did he not know that’s exactly what would happen dealing w/angry teenagers?

[@dpalmer2659]

On story one think them 3 guys in full tactical gear who showed up at the school were locals who lived near the school who seen the brake in and decided to take the law into there own hands. In stead of calling the police they were going to teach the kids a lesson and may be were gonna do some thing bad to the kids who broke in.

[@TheUKisThere]

[@ibethmartinez6882]

Exactly!

[@rdac0392]

The most scariest back to school story I have is how expensive school uniforms cost for both of my kids. I hope everyone has a great weekend

[@karynbanksley7110]

Can you contact some of the other parents who have children about the same size as yours and offer to buy their hand me down uniforms at a reasonable price?

[@jodilea144]

@@karynbanksley7110great idea. Also, in my area, the schools which require uniforms have a program where they give credit for the return of used uniforms in good condition toward the purchase of new ones. Then, they sell the used ones at an event a few weeks before the start of the school year.

[@vikki-333]

Is private school worth the money?

[@ariistra195]

​@Ash-pd8vj doesn't have to be private school, I went to a public school and we had pretty expensive uniforms

[@alisablackman3435]

Omg so true. Books are super expensive and the sad thing is, they make the students write in their books so at the end of the term it can't be sold or even passed down to your youngest kid. 😵

These stories really shed light on the darker side of the school experience. It's a reminder that teaching and learning environments can sometimes be quite challenging and even downright scary. Thanks for sharing these eye-opening tales!

[@sir.spookeys.stories]

Friday night uploads are the best! Being from England, the stories are out at 12am which means I don't really get to listen to the whole thing when it's uploaded due to work, however, I get to sleep peacefully tonight! Awesome narrator and I hope to be a half decent one myself.

[@josiegipson90]

​@@jacobbowling263 I was induced to have my little boy September 21st of 2021. He'll be 2 the 22nd. When we were leaving to go be induced, I actually got the call as we were walking out the door that my grandma had just died from COVID. She raised me and we had always lived together. Both grandparents lived with my husband and I. She had waited 19 yrs for me to have my 2nd child and was so looking forward to it. I was absolutely devastated. I couldn't be with her at all while she was in the hospital due to the COVID restrictions back then. The hardest thing in the world was birthing my baby a mere hours after such a loss. I lost my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother all during a very high risk pregnancy, had just lost my younger sister to breast cancer (diagnosis to death was 11 days) not long before. I know loss and birth all too well, it's difficult. I lost faith long ago but found it in the birth of my son. Faith isn't the belief that bad things won't happen, faith is having the strength to get thru them. I'll be thinking about you all on Thursday and look forward to an awesome update on Friday.

The approval-oriented teacher in the first story is by their own design: self-sabotaging.

[@annie_xo]

Story 1 - the guy BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE in the middle of the night and you wonder if he should get another chance? Absolutely not.

[@tcfan80]

Story 2: imo, the tactical gear guys were there to rob the school of $$, computers, etc. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@peachyypaige256]

Exactly what I thought, they just so happened to run into op and his “friends” and their plan backfired, unfortunately that also means op’s “friends” got away and he was blamed for everything.

[@Deliveredfromevil]

7:47 TEACHER in #1 Please PLEASE watch over your shoulder at all times. Always be aware of your surroundings. That kid is out to get you back. Whatever his parent(s)/guardians done to him for having the vape at school REALLY pissed him off. If anything else at ALL happens I think you should contact LE and tell them the whole story, leave nothing out. Sounds like this kid is wanting revenge and will do whatever he can to get his revenge. Be careful!! 😮😮😮😮

[@vikki-333]

How does someone, even a minor, break into your house and treat you that way without you calling the cops?? Some people are so stupid and blinded by their desire to be a nice person. She’s putting other people in danger by not reporting his threatening behavior.

[@iamhungey12345]

My scariest back to school story? The college tuition and the fact that I had to buy some overpriced textbooks. The latter can be managed by used books though.

[@ConnorJG76]

Just catching up on the last 2 weeks of content,good timing

[@skijorT]

The first story if true yes call the police. These days it protects you. That boy could make an accusation that would ruin your life and reputation forever. Report it all. Documentation protects you and yours. I know teachers who have been subject to false accusations. What a nightmare. Be very careful and take all precautions you can.

Teachers don’t get paid enough for what they go through!! 😱 My cousin, a 60 something year old teacher, was pushed, her desk trashed, her belongings stolen, destroyed, and cussed out by students and their parents. She put up with it for a few years and quit. She started teaching late in life. In her 40s. She dreamed of being a teacher!! She went into teaching at the wrong time!! She only taught for about 15 or so years. It’s awful to be a great teacher and have your dreams shattered!! What broke the camels back was-she turned one of her students In for pushing, cussing and threatening her!! He was 15 and was thrown out of the school. She wanted him arrested. The boys parents stalked her. Drove by her home. Called her. Everywhere she went one of his parents was there. They never threatened her but she knew what they were doing!! The police did nothing to help her. She quit her job!! All the stalking stopped!! Teachers are scared!!😱 Schools are not safe!! 😢

The 6th story is so messed up they heard this guy used to drink a lot so they thought it’d be funny. Other then the fact that they most likely would have got him fired which isn’t funny they coulda killed him or given him permanently brain damage and in his case we wouldn’t have just lost his job he would have went back to prison all because these assholes thought it’d be funny. Thank god for cameras since cops just assume you’re guilty right away especially if you’re an ex-con and I really hope those kids ended up in prison instead

[@dustinspeicher3390]

Its rare that I comment several times on a single video but I just blazed one & yet another entry requires another observation from this guy. The guy that jumped out of the moving SUV was rooting for the driver's incarceration as he even reported & supplied a description to the police regarding that man. What I don't understand though is what did that guy even do that was illegal & warranted prosecution? The OP was the dude who waved down the driver & just automatically ran up & jumped in his car without question. It appears to me that he may have been acting as someone willing to offer help. Perhaps he saw you waving him down next to an inoperable vehicle so he pulled over & was willing to drive you somewhere, maybe a gas station or something. Then once he mentioned how he wasn't sure who Carlos was the OP made the odd, but split second decision to eject himself from a moving vehicle. At no point in his story did the driver who picked him up do anything remotely wrong. Why would OP report someone for doing nothing? Weird.

Kid in the first story lost his last chance when he broke into your house, imo. Time to teach him "with the sword" and tell the authorities.
