My senior year I ran for captain position, I ended up getting vice. Everyone said they voted for me and there was widescale confusion. Us captains got called in for a briefing the next year and I stayed back and asked about this incident. They told me that I had the most votes, yet the principal decided, "I wasn't the best fit for the role." I did fuck all outta spite that year to see his downfall. God the ego strikes hard sometimes, in my defence I knew no better. No wonder I'm a "conspiracy theorist" sipping vino in my mid 20's 😂. Swear to God, true story. ask about me

In my secondary school (basically high school) one of my friends billy (not his real name can use for vid) who everyone instinctively hit in the balls for the entire 5 years, it got so bad everyone even Billy made jokes that we had made him infertile. Some of my best stories about this was (both done by me) one time when we were shooting a student film when i was pushed onto the floor i improvised and wacked him in the bollocks with a axe, (prop axe) so hard i had to carry him around for like five minutes, the best part was he was the cameraman and wasn't the one who pushed me over. My second story is on are last day just before he left i walked up to him said good luck and then punched him square in the dick (he had to cycle home). Another story not about Billy, I was walking in the hallway next to 2 random people I didn't know, and for some reason one of them punched the other in the dick out of the blue, and literally like a muscle reflex i revenge walloped the guy who punched him in the gonads, I keeped walking onwards leaving them behind and am immediately stopped by a teacher he leaned into my hear and said "good shot" pated me on the shoulder and let me carry on. British schools are weird

Year 7 camp was nothing short of a nightmare for me. They had overloaded the rooms to the point where you would have 9 sweaty twelve-year-old boys sleeping in a small room, and sharing 1 bathroom. I, among 3 others were lying down in blankets directly on the scratchy carpet, when a guy on the top bunk suddenly launched himself onto my body. He was completely nude. He began rubbing his body on me up and down rapidly as everyone in the cabin looked on in laughter or pure horror. This minute-long molestation began stirring up jokes among half the grade that I "fell pregnant" and gave birth because of said molestation. These jokes lasted for a full 2 years as well. Side note 1: Clearly getting his way with me was not enough as he had to finish the job watching gay porn on a phone that he smuggled in (while he thought were sleeping) Side note 2: He was expelled several months later due to showing me his penis AND ass in class during 2 separate occasions Side note 3: This was a private and religious school

[@jameshasnoideas]

I have two things that happened in my school Firstly, when I was in my 2nd year, I found a bin covered in what I thought was gold glitter. After using the bathroom it was in, I took a closer look to find it was thousands of very small insects that were alive and crawling. I took a picture/video and immediately told someone about it. Secondly, during sometime around June 2022 I went into the disabled changing rooms in my school to get dressed seperately. I had to throw something away, so I tried to lift the lid of one of those discreet bins you find for disposing of tampons, and it was stuck. The bin was so fill (and it reeked) that you could not lift the lid, and used items were hanging out of it. I thought it would be emptied over the summer holidays, but it was not. Around December another bin was added which was filled later the same week, and then around April/May 2023 ANOTHER bin was added into the same room. The bins have still not been emptied to this day, and I am pretty damn sure that the first, original bin contains used Nappies just because of the absolutely putrid stink I smelt when I first opened it. Imagine fossilised crap ageing in a bin for a year.

We had this girl in our grade who had a tendency to do really weird shit. In Year 11 she sucked on a calligraphy pen and vomited black ink all over the table. Literary sucked all the ink out and swallowed it. All the girls were sitting at that table too, and then all of a sudden she just started coughing up and sewing up everywhere. The school had to call an ambulance and everything. The teacher aid we had was crying and so were all the girls, but one of my friends said that she needed an oil change, and we couldn't stop laughing.

My school was in a weird one in the US of A. We were all pretty tame except for this one kid I will call Alan. Alan in particular was fond of leaving stuff in the toilets that left everyone confused. He set a chair in the toilet, balanced a desk on the back of a toilet, put actual bricks in the toilet bowls, but then he got bored and moved onto some more colorful things. Entire buckets of paint, commercial bags of chopped onion, potato, lettuce, and garlic, a couple pounds of fish, and even a heart from a cow. We all knew Alan did it but the admin staff couldn't prove it because there weren't any cameras or after hour security. Alan was only caught because a teacher got absolutely piss drunk, passed out in the utility closet, woke up at 3 in the morning, and saw Alan dragging a full dear carcass through the hall. Turns out Alan knew how to pick locks and had insomnia. He tended to get very bored, so he just fucked with the school system for a whole year.

I’ve been watching this series for ages and I finally have a story I can share. When I was in high school one day someone threw my hat on the roof and the gardener wouldn’t get it down for me, so me and my mates hatched a plan to climb onto the school roof at night that weekend and get my hat back, we mapped out where all the security cameras were and had a flawless plan. The weekend came and during the night we went to my school. Climbed under the broken fence, and my mate made his way onto the roof, however while he was up there looking for my hat he walked on a fragile part of the roof and fell through (in hindsight probably shouldn’t have let the only overweight bloke in our group climb on the roof) anyways it made an extremely loud bang and now he was stuck in pain on the home economics room floor at 10pm on a Saturday. We didn’t wanna call the ambulance because we didn’t want to get in trouble so we pryed the window open and tried to get him out, turns out he broke his leg and dislocated his collarbone, anyways as we attempted to rescue our mate our mate on lookout called me and said the police were coming, turned out one of the neighbours heard the bang and called the cops, we all beelined it out of there leaving our mate stranded in the home economics room, cops came got him to a hospital and then eventually questioned him as to why he was on the roof, our entire group got expelled and my hat presumably is still on the roof today.

Grade 7 at high school and we had an actual real life bomb/explosive situation. Over a weekend some grade 10 kids decided to steal explosives from a local quarry. Apparently the explosives looked similar to plasticine and was stuck all over the school, no one could tell if it was explosives or chewing gum under the desks, so the bomb squad and police dogs were called in, we were all sent home and the whole school was searched (obviously we thought this was pretty exciting plus time off school) In the end the explosives were found but because everyone's locker etc got searched not only were the kids with explosives caught but so was everyone else running illegal activities in that school.

My high school stories from Ireland, but Im going to put it here anyway. We had an issue with a student taking sh*ts in tayto bags (a type of Irish crisp) and hiding them in various places around the school. Ensuring every couple of weeks there would be a stench of sh*t somewhere until the teachers or janitors could locate it and get rid of it. He became known as "the sh*t bandit", his coup de grace moment came in the form of placing one of his bags of sh*t into the pipes of a heater in the music room. It wasnt found and the stench remained in the room for months and the music room had to be moved until eventually the bag was found. He was never caught, and his identity remains unknown. The sh*t bandit remains at large in Ireland to this day........

I obviously reported this to the principal and my Mother was talking with police about this, after 2 weeks of me being kept at home cuz I was shit scared and the school didn't want this to actually happen, I got a letter in the mail that legit told me that I have been expelled so the students cant hurt me. my Mother thought that it was unfair to expel me, and they said to her face that "It's easier and less punishing to expel 1 student and not 3".

I'm a Victorian Highschooler (poor me) anyway, one Thursday afternoon, we were all about to go to lunch when an announcement came over the loud speaker telling us to remain in our classrooms until further notice due to a "hazard", typically the first thing that came to our minds was a school shooter on the premises. We waited in our classrooms for about an hour until word spread around quickly, apparently some Year 12s thought it was a good idea to bring chilli spray to school and essentially turn multiple classrooms into Chernobyl. The chemicals in the spray were so bad that multiple people had an allergic reaction and were sent to hospital. After around 90 minutes of sitting and waiting, we were finally allowed to leave. The school tried to cover it up but it was no use as everyone spread the word around. Thankfully nobody died, but still, what could you expect from Year 12 VCAL students.

Oh, at my school we rarely have seats on the toilets anymore. And kids flush anything on the walls down the toilets.

We once had a substitute teacher that was probably came to Australia with Cook. While he was taking attendance, a kid blew his nose and the sub sent him outside. 10 minutes later the sub left the class to talk to the kid, and the door closed and locked behind him. He didn't have a key.

My public school on the Gold Coast between 2003-2007: A student was impregnated by a teacher. A student was backed over in the parking lot by another student and ended up in a wheel chair. A student through firecrackers into a bubbler while a girl was using it and blew her face up causing permanent scarring to half her face. A student sexually assaulted another on the school grounds and when she reported him the school staff basically shrugged and said 'we see you making out with your boyfriend so we're not surprised' and that's all that came of it. A child sex ring involving 9 underage students being groomed, fed hard drugs and molested by another students dad, their child was used as bait - he was like the pied piper but if the pipe was a meth pipe. The school knew about it for months and did nothing. Eventually the one of the parents reported it and the dad was sent to jail for 9 years in 2008, only to be out in 4 on good behaviour.

Not necessarily a "worst schools" entry, however what we did, did objectively made the school worse. This is more of a confess your sins high schoolers entry. One lunchtime my friend and I were bored out of our minds, loapaing around the school grounds tryna find something to do. The teachers had remembered to lock the computer labs that day so it meant no secret halo lan parties at lunch time (very upset). In our travels we came across a large, oddly football shaped rock. Somehow the rock had us both utterly transfixed. We had found our source of entertainment. First we spent some time throwing it at things. As you do. Unattended Tupperware, lunch boxes, smaller rocks, trees etc. but this got boring pretty quick. So my friend, let's call him Kevin decided we'd instead pull a "funny prank" on someone with the rock. He picked it up with both hands and crab waked into the boys toilets attached to the school office block chanting "rock rock rock rock rock" as he scuttled inside. The PLAN was to gently lay the rock inside one of the toilets to make it appear as tho someone was "shitting stones" what actually happened however was the rock had become quite well lubricated from all the smashed lunchbox yoghurt coating it's surface and when Kevin went to "gently lower" the rock into the toilet it instead slipped from his hands straight down into the toilet from a not inconsiderable height. The effect was pretty immediate as the bowl shattered on contact, spilling dozens of litres of shit water straight out into the floor. The first response was the panic however, Kevin luckily had the presence of mind to turn the water off at the wall. The only downside here was the janitor removed the tap heads from the pipes on the walls to stop students fucking with it. This meant we had no way to halt the veritable torrent of water spilling from what remained of the toilet. We ran outside and were intercepted by a teacher who had heard the laughter slowly mixing with terror coming from the bathroom. Luckily for us she stopped us with her back to the door and didn't noticed the ever increasing stream of water flooding from the toilets. When she was done chewing us out for some imagined misconduct she waked off, never thinking to look behind her or check what has happened. Our actions caused the boys toilets to be closed at that end of the school for almost a month. This coincided beautifully with the planned maintenance taking place at the other toilet block across the school, leaving only one set of 4 toilets in the centre of the school to service the entire male cohort. Safe to say those toilets were a hellscape by the end of the day. The filth that would normally be spread equally between all of the toilets was condensed down into just those 4. It was a nightmare of our own making.... Never got in trouble for it tho so all goods.

And you constantly want to f*** when all that you'll be f***ing is your left hand for many years until you'll find some girl who you think is the one, when in fact she is the "one for many". (And later in life you'll appreciate her generosity and experience for guiding you through). You want to be popular (or at the very least not ostracized or bullied, so you'll even take part in that in order to avoid it being done to you) but you also want to be left alone. Sort of like prison, you are just dumped in with a whole bunch of people with their own emotional (you often find out the kid you were terrified of was getting beaten or molested by his/her parent/carer, or some horror story like that) and intellectual development (you'd be surprised how many kids you went to school with are legally retarded). And on top of that you've got the whole message of "you'd better succeed in your high school studies so you can go to university and if you dont, you'll never amount to anything".

Looking back on it, high school in America was pretty wild. Watched a kid snort a line of pine tree pollen off of a desk that was outside during pollen season for some reason. He then lit the rolled up dollar he used to snort pollen and attempted to smoke it. On a different morning one kid attacked another kid with a blowgun and darted him in the leg. A friend of mine was attempting to have a non-consensual “bible fight” with another kid and pegged the drama teacher square in the face with the word of god. Naturally this knocked her out and she fell face first onto the sidewalk. Friend spent the night in jail for that one. We got the day off school one time because of the fallout of a local chemical manufacturing facility catching fire the night before. Apparently a few weeks before I started freshman year there some student got arrested in the school parking lot with a bunch of mini pipe bombs. And the year after I graduated some students I knew were involved in the gruesome murder of another student I knew. I’m just thankful we didn’t have any gun violence during my time there.

They also included what was essentially chanting, don't even remember if it was in our language or some foreign language, I think both. - A compulsory activity dedicated to praising water. As in, praising water as a living spirtual entity. - Random laminated pictures of eastern dieties or relics taped unto walls all over the school. - If a teacher or faculty member was sick, the morning meeting would include a part in which we (the entire school, standing in a circle around a small outside basketball court) would use our hands to frame an orb of good energy and slowly pull them apart as if the energy ball was growing, then shoot it up into the air. - Several instances of students spreading poo all over the walls of the bathrooms. - One instance of a student peeing in a soap dispenser. - Surprisingly few fights, but one instance of a student attempting to strangle another There's definitely more, but that's all I can remember right now Edit, remember another thing: Several times, at least 3 that I can remember, iguanas standing on electric cables that went right along the edge of the school got electrocuted, died, and took the school's power with them. On one of the occasions, it was bad enough that smoke starting pouring out of the electric outlets. The school had to be evacuated and we got a few days off.

Not sure who won but the kid was like 7ft tall so he had something going for him. ( had several lockdowns that year) Had a kid that was special needs and couldn't really talk properly and was pretty scrawny, never saw someone start so many fights and lose every single one of them. Had a pretty big agriculture department, had animals stolen several times (including goats), someone stole all the farm machinery (mower and whatnot), and a teacher was trying to show a special needs student a baby chicken, to which the special needs student responded by grabbing it and crushed it to death. Also the whole school was riddled with asbestos so if someone broke a window we wouldn't be allowed in the classroom. Some kid kept stealing the boys bathrooms doors, watched him put cello tape around a base of one the stalls. No one died though so that's pretty good.

I have a few stories from my highschool in SW Sydney. Our year was made up of around 160 students and every two weeks we would have a P.E class that would contain all the students in my year. This change room was designed for maybe 30 people, anyways I thought it would be a good idea to have class wars in the change room, this involved everyone who wanted to participate tying knots in the end of the P.E shirts and once the classes were all in the change room we just fucking went ham on everyone who wasn't cowering in the shower sections. Eventually after 2-3 class wars the teachers grew aware and started monitoring us in the change rooms, a few of the giant islander guys would unsuccessfully try to weird out the teachers by stripping down to their underwear and performing a "sexy haka". They eventually decided to stagger the changing times of the classes giving us only 3 mins to get changed each class. Unfortunately I had created a beast, it turns out 15 year old boys really love beating the shit out of each other. I realised that we all had math at the same time so we transitioned to performing "hits" on certain people. Everyone synchronized their watches/phones to the exact time the bell would ring so their bag was packed and ready to go. We would designate the target, sprint straight to the door of their class room as soon as the bell rang and once they exited the classroom everyone would pelt their backpacks as hard as they could at them. I'll never forget the look on peoples faces when they walk out of the class room and realise they are the target, there were a few guys in my year that got is so often that as soon as they saw us waiting in the hallway they would instantly drop to the floor in the fetal position covering their head to try and protect themselves from the torrent of textbook filled backpacks getting launched at them. I should also mention that we would never target people who didn't want to play, but if you were apart of the hit crew you were fair game. Also my math teacher was convinced that he invented the washing machine and that the government stole the idea from his head with a ray gun, he also showed us an animated cabin the the snow and said that it was his holiday house in Bali.

When we came back the principal in an assembly applauded us and even promised to donate something like 1000$ while up on stage to help us reach the higher leagues in stem robotics. Great! We could do so much more with that! He never pays us the money. Then starts a new stem robotics club that excludes a majority of us (girls only). Gives the new group the budget. Leaves us in the dust. What. A. Stitch-up. Keep in mind this new group got access to the physics teacher twice a week, had their club situated in the newly built lab rooms and stole our budget. Compared to us, in a dingy archaic computer lab that still had floppy disks strewn about. No hate to women in stem of course. But fuck that principle. Edit: Whoops! This aint in the reply to jordies, hope he sees this since he’s really good at broadcasting and exposing corruption in nsw

Mercury is actually not that bad to play with. It doesn't get sucked into your skin like the urban legends. And catfishing on grindr why? Just sounds homophobic. Dude's entitled to a sex life without having students barge in.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

@@travisdraper2411 The problem is if you have any cut on your hand it gets into your body and is rather difficult to come out. Also, mercury at any temperature constantly releases vapors that you inhale and cause nerve damage and neurological problems, especially in anyone under the age of 25 who are still having brain development. Even small doses are detrimental and what you were exposed to was dangerous and irresponsible as these were known dangers of mercury for well over 50 years.

Some kid bought a ton of hentai stickers and started distributing them to all his buddies. Those friends would give out their stickers and eventually about half the school had at least a couple hentai stickers on them. These stickers were placed all over the place, like on student driving cars, in bathrooms and on student council posters. At the end of the year, there was a party and a food truck came by. By the time the party was over, there was atleast 15 hentai stickers all over it

[@Vathek_the_Red]

I spent my years in high school basically living with an escalating series of false allegations and rumours that ranged from smoking, to stalking girls in my class to planning out a school shooting/bombing at the end of year 12, which at that point got teachers attention and nearly had the police involved. These were rumours were so wide spread that they were spoken even by students younger than me by the time I was finishing high school, so it felt like the whole school was out to get me by that point. All this happened because I was the eccentric, fat, loner who liked wearing black, horror films and listened to rock/metal (i.e. I looked the type) that folks liked to pick on, apparently. How I manage to graduate and not break under the mental trauma is a total enigma.

@Jig_Artist it was rough, and I admit I've made some stumbles along the way that didn't help my situation. But despite this, I persisted and eventually got out on my own terms. On the topic of my 10 year reuinion, my parents thought it was a bad idea for me to attend my reunion given how poorly I was treated. But I knew if I was ever to move on, I needed to confront my demons and seek closure with them, and it was by far one of the best things I had ever done. In the end, they were all children, and while children can be cruel, most of them also grow up.

One morning the school announced that all the girls had to go to the hall, the rest of us blokes were confused until we were also called up. Turns out that some kid stole the wall sized mirror in the boys bathroom and wasn’t caught, as well as some kid saying his hero (a thing we did in year 8 English) was Andrew Tate. The principal was telling us not to laugh about it and multiplie kids got in trouble. When we went back the boys exchanged information for info on what happened. Apparently a girl took a dump on the Toilet floor, and not even near a cubicle but in the middle of the room.

One time on the second day of year 7 our woodwork teacher went on a massive rant about how 9/11 was an inside job and then proceeded to leave us in the room alone for him to go have a break (this was right after lunch) for the rest of the 60 minute period, comes back at the end of the day to see us walking out and says good job packing up. 10/10 duty of care.Also we had the boarders of our school have a jizz war with their pillows, being they’d go onto each others pillows in the middle of the night

One time during lunch, one of the assistant principals mistook my friend for one of the kids that frequented detention and approached him while he, myself, and one other friend were just trying to eat. She decided that he was "close enough" and asked him to do a favor. She then pulled out her phone, a blank check, and a pen, explaining that the school had received a donation, and she wanted my friend to rewrite this check and sign it like the picture of the check she had on her phone. She told him to copy it exactly, except the amount of money should have another zero at the end. He kept asking her what to do, as I'm sure he was in disbelief from what he was was hearing and he's quite messy, and I'm sure he was trying to subtly tell me and our other friend to start recording her. And then, after she explained it to him twice, he asked her if this was fraud. She froze, then said he "probably wasn't the best person to ask," grabbed all her stuff, then walked off. I still regret not pulling out my iPod touch and recording that.

I went to a private school, one of my friends stole an exit sigh from the boys bathroom. He hid it in his locker. It didn’t fit so his locker door was always unlocked. It just poked out. It stayed there for months. None of the teachers knew it was him. He took it home the day before they searched the yr12 building to find it. When they couldn’t they kicked all us out for 2 weeks as “punishment”

I got a good one, but it's a bit long. I went to an all-boys boarding school and in year 8, we were all waiting in line for the showers after school when two boys - I'll call them Sid and Mac, decided to play the odds game (You know that game where both people say a number at the same time and if you get the same number you have to do a dare). Anyway, I was standing behind watching this play out - Sid loses to Mac as they both said "four", and Mac says "Sid, take a shit in the shower", so Sid closes the shower curtain, and after a couple seconds he pulls back the curtain, and there's a poo planted right on the shower grate. Everyone who was in the shower line began hooting and laughing. But it gets better, Mac decides to say "oi Sid, odds you put the shit on the window sill", Sid goes 'alright', and they both say four again. Sid grabs his toiletries bag or like his boot bag with his shampoo idk, and picks the shit up like dog owners pick up their dog's shit at the park, and puts it on the window sill. Everyone in the room was absolutely losing it and continuing to scream like apes. Anyway at some point during all the commotion, some sneaky kid - i didn't see who it was, pushes the shit off the window sill. The funny thing was, the window for the year 8 showers was directly above the entrance to reception - we all lived in one oversized building, where packages to the school came or parents making enquiries, that kinda stuff. The shit had splattered right onto the steps of reception. The hysteria in the room kept going for a while while everyone continued showering, obviously avoiding the shower that Sid took a shit in. Eventually the deputy principal found the actual poo - personally i think, not sure, and everyone in our dorm was questioned. Anyway Sid eventually gets outed and suspended. A couple years after school had ended I saw a facebook status from Sid saying "Shitty shitty bang bang" - and a bunch of ex students commenting about shit related jokes.

'Wasps' was the name. Well one day, one of the wog kids decided to fit one of the paper darts with a razer from a pencil sharpener. He then shot an Asian kid which opened his arm - from wrist to elbow - to the bone. Glorious day that was.

At our school (Melbourne, Public school), someone started growing a lemon tree in one of the toilets in the boy's bathroom, and all the students pissed on it to help the tree grow. The teacher's didn't suspect a thing until they saw students walking out of the toilets with lemons in their hands since they legally cannot use the same bathroom. Not sure why the cleaners never told the teachers this, although given the state of the bathrooms typically, i'm not so sure if the cleaners ever did anything.

[@AnInocentBystander12]

Not really a horror story but in my school allegedly we could go to the common room and do education related things if our teacher was 15 minutes late. My science teacher that year would almost always show up to class between 12 and 14 minutes late, much to the chagrin of the one kid who was vocally aware of the 15 minute common room policy and would constantly give us all updates on how late she was. She was probably just lazy but I like to think she was intentionally messing with us.

It wasn’t worst school to have a stabbing incident but I do have a story. Kind of funny considering it was primary school and we were about 10. Kid pulled out a knife and threatened to stab someone. Also was caught with his phone in his bag which was a big no back in the 2000s. Somehow escaped a suspension with a warning. A few days later a couple was found kissing in the play ground. Since they principal had earlier sat us all down to tell us we aren’t allowed to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, the couple got suspended. A little bit weird that kissing was seen as more threatening to school kids than a knife.

High School in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne. We thought it would be hilarious to put a KFC bag with left over chippies and zinger burgers that we didn't want into one of the roof tiles. Had a good chuckle over that, but forgot about it for a couple of months until a foul smell started to fill one of the rooms. When a teacher went to investigate they pulled down the grotesque looking KFC bag which had now gotten so moldy that it was more or less just a blob of spores. Needless to say, we all had a good talking too after that.
