Share Your School Stories - Weirdos, freaks, and idiots (self-inclusion optional)

One time my high school had this dumb thing where if you showed up late, you had to fill out a form and explain it, and so I just showed up exactly five minutes late every single day, and made up an absolutely ridiculous excuse every time. Like abducted by aliens and shit.

I stole the idea from The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, a criminally underrated series.

Literally every day of HS having that thing?
 
God, there are so many good stories.
- I had a friend who was the epitome of a schizotypal (or schizoid idk). He was very eccentric, walked and talked like a robot, was a hardcore christian fundamentalist, and obviously was unironically a flat-earther. He'd sit in the front sit to me and would sometimes just turn around and start talking about flat earth like he seriously believed I would agree with him.
- This friend would talk in a very, very low voice, to the point we'd have to ask him to repeat himself like five times. He would also sometimes simply not answer you at all. Once he did this to a teacher who asked him something and he just starred at her and everyone went quiet. The teacher didn't know how to react.
- There was this autistic blonde guy that would run to school every day. One day I went to a close store to buy some gum or something and saw him running to school in desperation. He did that every single morning. He would also start hitting the walls every time he lost a goal on soccer practice.
 
There's this mick I knew who got caught masturbating in computer class our junior year. Whipped it out in the back of the class and started going at it to some shady porn site he managed to get by the filter. Teacher didn't notice for a while, I think some other kid looked over and called him out. Got suspended for a while, came back all proud about it. Soon after high school he got busted for misconduct with a minor.
 
I started high school in 1999 so Columbine was still fresh in everyone’s head. I wore a lot of band shirts back then and came to school one day wearing an Ozzy shirt

The principal called me into his office absolutely red faced livid. Said I needed to turn my shirt inside out or go home immediately. Apparently the Ozzy shirt was “promoting gang activity” and me liking his music was a sign I was about to go Punisher on everyone. I went home, told my dad why I was back home early. Don’t know what was said but my dad chewed the principal out over the phone. Went back the next day (no Ozzy shirt this time) and the principal was a lot more mild mannered to me. Never been in serious trouble in my entire K-12 years of school, I guess the principal just was more of a Dio fan than Ozzy and took offense
 
The school guidance counselor in fifth grade absolutely sucked due to her complete inability to relate to us kids. She wasn't the "how do you do fellow kids" type, she was the exact opposite, the "ugh TODAY'S YOUTH I don't understand you young'uns" type.

Great choice of career, lady, being a elementary school guidance counselor.

This was the 98-99 school year, so Pokemon debuted a few weeks into the school year and just like all over America, blew up in a big way. So of course Miss Cool Counselor immediately disliked it and made no attempt engage with us and most everyone's new favorite show and/or game. Which was a problem since this was a small school and kids were frequently sent to the guidance counselor regardless if we were struggling or not because the theory was to build a working relationship with her so that if/when a problem did arise, we'd feel comfortable talking to her about it.

There might've been something to the whole idea, if Miss Cool even attempted to try to understand us. As it were, she went to great lengths not trying to relate to us in any way.

So up until Christmas break I wouldn't say I was in her good graces per se, but I was one of the few kids who wasn't into Pokemon and so she didn't completely despise me. Although on top of her standard hostility to "today's youth" we had a major personality clash, due to the fact that I had a carefree attitude about school instead of "taking my studies seriously" as well as the crimes of drawing and writing, because we can't have kids interested in creative arts. You would think that meant less trips to her office, but unfortunately the opposite was true. Not sure if it was to "keep an eye" on me, or try to force me into being the study-obsessed student she preferred I would be, but either way I was spending way more time in her stupid office then I'd liked.

Then Christmas happened, and like many kids across the country, I received the gift of Pokemon (Red, for the curious), and after the new year came back a fan of both game and show. First trip to Miss Cool in the new year, she asks me what I got for Christmas and I make the mistake of saying that I got Pokemon Red, because I didn't know she utterly hated Pokemon before that moment. Welp, that was a big mistake when she gets this fake-ass smile on her face and goes into a "friendly" rant about why she hated Pokemon. From then on we entered a pattern during my dreaded visits to her office where if I even alluded to doing something Pokemon related recently she'd get all bent out of shape, regardless of how many other things I'd been doing as well. I would make an effort to not mention it, and just say "Yeah I've been playing X games and watching Y shows, saw some good/bad episodes lately" and she'd say something like "Yeah and X and Y was POKEMON right???", I would say no (often a lie, but not always), and she'd start going off about how I was always watching/playing Pokemon and nothing else. And I would try to tell her that was definitely not true, and she'd insist it was and I was just lying about it.

This culminated in a visit where she finally snapped and told me I was obsessed with Pokemon and I needed to knock that shit off ASAP. This got me pretty upset because while I really was enjoying the game a lot, there was another game I got for Christmas I enjoyed at least as much, that was way more influential in my art and school work at the time (for the curious, it was Diddy Kong Racing). I wasn't even nearly as obsessed as some of my classmates, who had more toys, were into it longer, and/or even had grades drop due to focusing on the game more than their school work. Case in point when we had a several month-long project of creating our own personal websites, some of my classmates were surprised that my site's name was related to Super Mario and that my content was way more Mario and Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong Racing focused than Pokemon (while a few classmates did make Pokemon-focused sites).

I possibly wasn't even the only kid she accused of being obsessed, but with our personality clash she just came down on me hard. She just never wanted to believe that I actually had a life that didn't revolve around Pokemon 24/7. She even called my mom one day to inform her of my "obsession", and my mom said something along the line of "well, she does like it a lot, but she likes a lot of other things too like <whatever>". Miss Cool unsurprisingly didn't believe her and demanded that my mom ban all Pokemon-related activities and order me to cease liking it at once. My mom wasn't having it, though, and told her that she couldn't make me like or dislike anything, and furthermore she wasn't going to ban Pokemon because she didn't find it ban-worthy.

Apparently at this point my mom tried to point out that I had hobbies that weren't directly related to Pokemon, like drawing, and that I was always drawing a variety of different things all the time. Miss Cool point blank told my mom that she thought drawing was a waste of time and that I should be focused on my school work. Mom, who has always been my biggest supporter of my art, was done with Miss Cool after that.
 
I saw a kid come to school in a full suit. Don't think it was even picture day. This was around 4th grade. Think he even had a suitcase.
One of my friends used to do that in middle school, suitcase and everything. His was full of shrimp flavored chips and a bottle of hot sauce. This might have also been around the time he gave himself a haircut that inadvertently resulted in a receding hairline.
(He has since grown up to be a very responsible and great friend, sometimes the weird kids come out on top later in life!)
 
My last year of Jr High I had to swtich schools. Got sent to a Jr High that was 98% black. Also was located right next to a paper mill. Which if you don't know stink badly.

For some reason the cafetiria could only hold 50 kids,and there was 100 kids at each lunch break.. So you got rushed to eat. Then once that was over you went stood outside in the heat and mega humidity smelling the paper mill.

These two factors added up to figjhts being a daily thing.Best ones I saw was two 7th graders fighting over some ho. Happened in the gym and one kid kept slamming the other kid's head into the push bar to open the door. Blood all over the door.

One day I ended up with a migraine called my father to come get me. Was sitting in the VP's office waiting on my dad to get there. They would use students as the secretary. Girl doing that I had in Shop class. She is making coffee for the VP,sees some girl walking down the hall with her arm around some guy. Smashes the coffee pot,runs out the door,almost bumping into my father,and chases the girl down the hall with a piece of glass.
 
Since my last story was a bummer, he's a funny one a day late for Easter.

It was 8th grade, and I forget the reason why but my science teacher showed us an experiment involving two carrots approximately the same size and width placed in two identically sized jars with an identical amount of fluid in them. One was just plain water, while the other was sugar water. He kept the carrot jars on his demonstration table at the front of the class, where we could see how in just a matter of days one carrot swelled up considerably, while the other shrunk and got limp.

As previously stated, this was in 8th grade so every day 32 perverts (including yours truly) was snickering, laughing, and making lewds jokes about the carrots to one another. I don't even remember which solution made the one go limp or what the point of the experiment even was. Just all the fucking dick jokes about little limpy and big hardy. Not even just in his class either, we'd make jokes about them during lunch and even in other classes.

One day the teacher is talking about little limpy and big hardy to the class. He actually took them out of the jars briefly so we could see just how limp and hard they really were and we'd just about lost it. Everyone was giggling and whispering jokes and finally the teacher addressed the elephant in the room and described big hardy as the "carrot on Viagra" and little limpy as the "carrot that needs Viagra". We completely lost it and roared with laughter for a good ten minutes before the teacher could continue. He'd go on to describe as such multiple times during the remaining course of the experiment, too. I'm pretty sure when the next test came around and we got to the question about limpy and hardy everyone wrote down those exact words about them.

Eventually limpy and hardy went away, but the jokes never completely stopped. Little limpy and big hardy lived on in our hearts and dirty jokes for the rest of the year. And beyond.

When I was 15 a girl two years younger got gangraped in a supply closet, by boys in her year. It didn't really sink in how fucked up it was until now, I never knew how it ended up, but they were all so much younger that I didn't know the victim, or to notice anyone who could've done it disappear. I had completely forgot it happened until now.
 
I have a few. Went to five schools altogether, and some shit happened, but mostly, my school was fairly boring.

1st grade (7 year old) we've had a kid who could not read or write, at all. Most kids at this time could string a few words together, or read slowly, but they'd get there. What he could do though was to name every single pokemon from his memory, including their skills, what they looked like and how they performed. And I mean every single one. At the time it was a huge thing in eastern europe, you'd have those collectible chips in bags of crisps, and kids were going crazy over them. It's not really that interesting, but it's somewhat funny to me now.

5th grade, we've had some sort of school show for mothers day. Some guys mom couldn't make it, or forgot about it, or something - she did show up afterwards, but right when we were finished. We were doing some song together, and he broke down in middle of his part, and just went off. I still feel bad for him.

In 6th grade a kid (notorious wannabe gangsta) went around the parking spaces and removed car emblems on every single car that stood there. Then he fucking brought it to the class, and showed everyone... including the teacher. Teacher brought it to the principal who noticed that his car had scratches on the back and missing emblem. Guess who took them.
This kid was pretty retarded anyway, as far as I know he is currently serving a sentence for busting up a bus.

I personally skipped over 400 hours in 8th grade. Barely made it on the worst notes possible. Teachers and principal did not give a fuck (usually, where I went if you had over 100 hours skipped you'd have to repeat a year). I think they just didn't want me to stick around any longer than it was necessary.

That entire school was fucked up. I went there from 7th to 9th grade. A few years before I arrived they've had very successful students, got a lot of prizes, and became THE school to send your kids to. Obviously, they never managed to repeat that, but fuck me they tried hard. It didn't help that it was a school that some kids would just have to go, because that's how the schools worked back then, so you'd end up with all sorts of skill levels. It ended up being the worst school in the city after a bit, with grades falling across the board purely because of the pressure that teachers tried to put on the students. When my class was done with our three year turn, principal refused to take a picture with us, and the kid that had to repeat his year broke off mirrors in his car. Obviously, no one saw anything.

In 10th grade we've had a school subject that could be translated as "defense preparation". You get to know warning signs, be it written, air sirens, warning shields, very basic military explanations, and info on what to do should shit hit the fan. This all included shooting. Every kid in the class had to take at least twenty shots with a .22 rifle, using actual live ammunition. What you're supposed to do, once you've fired your shots, lay the rifle, wait for an "everything clear" sign, get up and fetch your card. The new class tard (probably the class clown before) goes up immediately after firing his ten rounds, and goes up to the card... when four other guys are still shooting and they can't see him. Including one guy with pretty bad lazy eye. Somehow, the tard didn't get shot, but was banned from visiting the firing range ever again.

The same tard almost managed to get his head chopped off by the An-2 plane propeller. We've been doing a sort of internship at the airstrip nearby as a part of the school program, and the plane has just been fixed, so the engine was being warmed up. Tard in question went along the fuselage, around the wings, and strolls right towards the propeller. A mechanic yanked him back and probably saved him. He shouldn't have done that, really.

In 11th grade we've gotten a new class teacher. Our old one went to different school. New one was very chill and direct, for good and bad. You could ask him about everything, and talk about everything, but he'd also not hold back his criticism. One day he EXPLODED on a few guys in our class. He started with "Since you don't seem to understand when something is said the normal way, I'll talk like you guys usually do." A lot of kurwas were thrown in full temper that day, but it worked. Parents of one of the tough guys complained to him, and he pretty much told them that if they don't like it, different schools will accept their kid. I really liked the guy, still talk to him from time to time.
 
Some autistic kid was caught jerking it in the library. Worst thing is, it wasn’t just some random kid. Everyone knew who this was. He got suspended for it. And after that, well you’d be glad you have a few days before people completely shit on you.
 
My first two semesters of college, I had the geekiest math professor imaginable. Huge glasses, nasally voice, lanky with a slight hunch, a goofy overbite, breathed through her mouth, she even had freckles and red hair. She also had a dry sense of humor, to the point where some students took her jokes seriously. She would deliver punchlines or silly anecdotes with such a straight face, you'd figure it was just a segue into a math problem. But she was still a great professor because she clearly knew her stuff.

The only time I saw her break into a smile was also the only time I've ever been told to stop doing something by a professor. Sitting in the front row, I had around five pieces of bubblegum and blew a bubble the size of my face, since I usually pop bubbles silently. What I didn't consider was the neon blue ball distracting the professor. While I genuinely couldn't see, I noticed she stopped the lecture, and the bubble then popped to the point that gum reached up to my eyebrows and wrapped under my chin.

The first split seconds I could see her, I saw she was fighting a smile from the corners of her mouth. But when she saw it pop in my face, she laughed for the first time any of us had seen, or would ever see, which of course was a hissing sort of laugh with snorting breaths. Like a switch, she goes back to her blank expression and politely tells me not to do that anymore. In retrospect, I really shouldn't have been doing that to begin with, but it at least didn't upset the professor and left a lasting enough impression that she remembered me years later.
 
I am reminded of a time I have probably mentioned before where I was incredibly cruel to a teacher I actually liked and later saw her crying in her office and knew I'd done that. It seriously broke my heart and I swore I'd never do anything that cruel to anyone again unless it would be really hilarious. It really upset me that I'd said something that mean to someone I actually liked.
 
I've been loving this thread. I just realized while reading through these I do have a story.

It was the first year of Junior High, and all the students were measuring each other up, and organizing themselves into their cliques. Including people ranking the Hottest Girl and Hottest Guy in the grade. Looking back now though I realized/remembered while reading through these stories. The hottest guy in the grade was probably an autist. He spent all of his time drawing anime and talking about videogames even in class. If you didn't want to talk about that, he'd disappear. If you did, he'd probably spend the entire day following you around talking about it. He'd often run between classes by himself.

Early on he was asked out by girls, and was even hit on by the hottest girl in the class which I saw happen, but he knocked them all back. One time I personally saw him get sexually harassed by one of the girls and he just gave them a weird look and walked off. So the prevailing opinion at the time became he was gay or a transgender or something. He didn't really have any real friends, he just would show up randomly, and see if anyone had seen some anime or played some videogame, and then would leave.

A year goes by and I'm in class with autist. He is in class drawing or talking about videogames I forget what, but he got told by the teacher to sit at the head of the class due to disruption. So he ends up sitting next to pretty much what was the class bully, and he didn't like autist for some reason. I didn't see what lead up to it, but bully punched autist right in the jaw. Immediately autist goes into tard rage, stands up and grabs bullys head and starts smashing it against the table repeatedly, we we're all just shocked watching this before two teachers rushed in and broke them up. They both ended up getting suspended for a week.

The next notable thing is we are doing an IT class, and we have an assignment to do an informative slideshow. Most of us are working on researching our topics and drawing up the slides each session. When it comes to presentation time, autist didn't make an informative slideshow, he'd spent the whole time organizing the slideshow to go fast enough so he could make an animated cartoon about chickens boarding a rocketship and flying into space to meet aliens.

Another year goes by and nothing happens with autist, he's been his usual self. We are in the IT classes during lunchbreak to surf the web, when we all get a message through the inter school network, that hackers have taken over the computers. I checked the top of the message, and it didn't just go to us students, it went to the teachers, it went to the principal. The entire IT department was shut down for 2 weeks to find the culprit. It turned out it was autist, who somehow figured out the teachers password and was moronic enough to LARP as a hacker. Another week of detention.

I ended up hearing soon after school finished that he did get a girlfriend though, so maybe there was some autist anime fangirl out there who was willing to listen to him sperg.
