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

I remember back in HS (and everywhere else since) hating retards who would suddenly start talking to you while you were reading a book. It's like bitch, first I'm trying to read, not talk to a bitch, and second, part of why I even am reading this book is to avoid talking to retards.

Where I went to school reading was widely considered to be "uncool", so if you were seen reading a book and not a magazine (or a phone) people would deliberately harass you while you were reading. As you can imagine, anytime you had to look at their papers in English their spelling would be atrocious, besides inappropriate use of internet shorthand. The bulk of them had to have been genuinely illiterate.

I would say something about them going on to be wage slaves at the various fast food places, but honestly these people weren't even fit for flipping burgers.

Was there a large black student population by any chance? Or were they just little dipshits?

Just little dipshits. I'm in Arizona, but Mexicans made up "only" around a third of the student population at my school. The vast majority of the "reading is for losers" kids were white. There's also a bit of a class divide as well (half middle class, half poor), but that didn't really effect it either. Hell, one of them was one of the richest kids in the school. He was a lot like the wealthy guys in the flashback scenes of Holes, actually, minus the smelly feet.

Why did you put "only" in quotes?

Because a third is a significant amount.

This, because it's Arizona so the Mexican population is really high, but not everywhere. Like if I went to the Mexican part of town and went to a middle or high school there I'd be surprised if the didn't make up at least 50% of the population, but in this part of town it was only 33% of the student body, which is a lot (and yet not). It was something like 55% white, 33% Mexican, 10% black, and the last 2% was Other (usually Asian).

The really interesting thing is that this is not the bad part of town by any means, like not even close, despite some of the neighborhoods having distinctly poor pockets in them. But both my middle school and my high school have the very well-earned reputations of being the absolute worst schools in the city. Or had, in the case of my middle school, since budget cuts last decade gave them the excuse to close it down and give some other nearby school the designation of "worst middle school in <City>".

Chewing gum was banned and would be confiscated on sight, and so it became a highly demanded commodity and followed a price bracket: nicotine gum was worth $100, Five gum was worth like $20, and everything else was somewhere in between $20 and nothing. At least one slutty but smart girl would trade blowjobs for Five gum.

There was a series of bomb threats against our school my sophomore year. Apparently a teacher walked into the boys room near the cafeteria and saw "BOM" (lmao) with the day's date, about 2 weeks later there was a second, and a few weeks thereafter was a third. After the third, a max of 3 students were allowed to be in the bathroom at any time, a teacher would go into the bathroom before and after a student went in to ensure nothing shady was going on, and then you'd be allowed to use the bathroom (with the teacher in earshot still). Additionally, attendance changed - if you were even a minute late to class you had to report to the office and explain your tardiness. They offered a 5,000 dollar reward for information that led to the arrest of the person making the bomb threats. Someone turned himself in, and rumour has it he thought by doing so he would receive the 5,000 dollars, not because he actually did it. I knew the guy, and I can promise he was exceptionally retarded, meaning both him turning himself in for 5,000 dollars and him misspelling "bomb" are equally likely. In any case, if the sentence wasn't altered he was released about 4 years ago however I didn't keep up with the case.

One time our school was in a lockdown because a kid was throwing chairs at the teachers. I don't know is he has autism or something, but he definitely has anger issues.

Once in show and tell (I think it was show and tell), that same kid said "My grandma took away my GTA disc. What a whore!". He said that. In the classroom.

Oh c'mon now, you can't just leave it at that! More details, please! Was the kid a sped? Why were they throwing chairs at the teachers?!
 
At age 14, I was spending my dinner money on cider and getting ripped every dinnertime. Some sixth former (probably 17) heard I had a reputation for drinking etc so decided to challenge me. I said sure, bring your booze. Next day he did. Got a 2 litre bottle of coke, poured a litre out then poured a litre of rum in.

I was overjoyed at this. Free booze. Went first, skulled half the two litre, and I was rolling! I don't remember too much about the rest of the day apart from English class which was run by an alcoholic woman. She clocked I was smashed and tried to get me to read stuff out, I just passed it on to who was sat next to me.

Didn't think anything of it till next morning in the first class when I got called to the headmaster office. Turned out the sixth former who challenged me passed the fuck out on the main drive after he left the contest, ambulance called, stomach pumped. The headmaster had heard of the contest. Asked me want happened. I decided that of course, the truth would be unproductive.

Told him the "bigger boys" brought the booze in, I tried one mouthful, didn't like it, and stopped there. He knew it was bullshit but he decided to believe me, I still think to this day because I owned the other guy in the contest so hard, and I was so much younger.

He got six months detention and his parents called. They didn't even tell my folks! Everything came up Millhouse.

I witnessed that same thing on primary school. This kid would apeshit and throw stuff around. The teacher had to hold him down several times.

Not an autist or anything, just a rich kid from divorced parents lashing out. In highscool he would get in all sorts of problems just doing stupid crap to rebel but he wasn't retarded, just had emotional issues going on.

One that when we were i like 6th grade that same kid came early to school, saw i was the only one he knew around, opened his backpack and asked me if i could keep a bunch of his cds for some time because his mom was gonna smash them. I have no idea of the context but hell yeah, i got to listen to a bunch of marilyn manson and metallica records for free, this was the 90s so is not like i could just download them from the internet.

There were videos. They did it during school, most of the time during lunch, so everyone could see it.

How does that even work? Did they bang their dicks against it to see who can make the most noise?
