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

One kid comes to mind. He lived on the same street as me for a while during elementary school years and always had the most ridiculous bullshit stories. Once when he had some kind of rash on his leg he claimed it was from falling through the lake ice and into a toxic waste drum and ever since then he'd had that rash.

The funniest and most bullshit story he ever told came shortly after he started taking lessons at the local strip mall karate joint. He claimed that his dojo had a three part test in order to get your black belt. Part one was fighting and defeating the sensei (already ridiculous but it gets worse). Part two was defeating a giant robotic spider that's bite "wouldn't kill you but would make you really sick." The final part was defeating a robotic dragon that breathed real fire.
 
There was this kid in my middle school who wanted to be a memelord and one year, on the first day of school when we were all made to introduce ourselves and say something about ourselves, he jumped out of his chair and landed on all fours and said "im gay!" in a very unusual voice. Nobody understood the reference, and everyone became very confused by this behavior. Also, his nickname was "Kiwi". No relation though.

edit: Kiwi here also wanted Donald Trump to win the 2016 elections so that more memes could be made about him.
 
Almost every year of high school, someone died over the summer, and always in a different way.
I had a minor crush on one of them, actually. She died in a cottage fire. The others, iirc, were a retard(literal) who died to his degenerative disease, a couple car crashes, and some sports incident. At least three out of five years, someone died.

We had a significant number of students die in a game of drunk car chicken when I was in high school. Neither of the drivers chicken out

God needed some brave souls, and he drafted the best.

On the topic of highschool tragedies, in my Sophomore year, 3 teenagers all related as cousins got into a car crash out of state.

The driver was someone I knew, he was so funny, he'd crack me up every day. Apparently all of them were drunk, I believe their speed was 120 MPH, or close to it if I recall.

The crash happened early in the morning around 6:00 AM, my thought is they hit gravel, loss traction and hit a tree head-on. The pictures are brutal, the back of the car is smashed into the base of the tree, and the front of the car tumbled (I think 100) feet or more out in a field. Its been a while since I read it.

Even before I knew of KF I was archiving everything, so I still have articles that don't exist to this day about it. I remember a lot of people in gym were crying about them.

His cousins were older, so 16, 17 I think, and the driver was 15. Their family lost 3 people in one day. It was a bit eye opening to me.
 
We had this kid, really weird little fucker, moved in, obviously not much money. Start of Grade 8 and to this day, I remember that being the exact time I figured out humans and what makes us tick.

Everyone was hostile to him, even the energetic chicks who still liked Disney stuff, who were utterly harmless, were frosty. Then I joined in on fucking with this idiot, playing him against a teacher who favoured me, recycling his homework in different bins, just being a little shit.

One, we are pack animals, the hostility was all the towny kids unfying against the weird newcomer, it was pure animal brain in effect, there was no fucking mercy from anyone.

Two, being a jerk is bad (he wasn’t particularly nice to begin with) but being a funny jerk is rewarded with praise and increased social standing.

Those two lessons were so much more valuable and important than anything I ever learned that year.
 
At my highschool for some reason, every single kid seemed to have a Nintendo DS and pictochat was very popular. You could open up pictochat at anytime during the schoolday, anywhere on the campus, and there would be multiple people in the chat rooms drawing pictures (mostly of dicks ofc). Bomberman was also very popular because you could download play it. I graduated before Pokemon Diamond/Pearl came out but I heard that it was also very popular as well and there was usually people in the trade rooms. Did anyone in high school during the mid 2000s have a similar experience? I know this isn't really about a particular person per se, but I think it was a little weird the per capita DS possession at my highschool was so high.

When I was in high school, a football game with one of our main rivals was cancelled mid-game, the first was that the rival school's main quarterback, basically hulking beast going to UT on a football scholarship collapsed on the field...basically he suffered cardiac arrest on the field, and that incident was one of the things that led to the state passing a law to have defibrillators in every public school. He was diagnosed with lethal arrhythmia, was implanted with a pacemaker, and could never play football again. UT still let him on the scholarship and he ended up becoming the territory manager for Abbott's Cardiac and Rhythm Management division selling pacemakers and defibrillators to hospitals.

But the thing that officially cancelled the game was the death of a former teammate, one of the starters from the previous year and still important in the team despite having graduated that last past May. There was an intersection south of town where the highway widened out just enough to have a left turn lane onto another major road, but you had to turn left in front of two lanes going 70+ MPH (or left out). The state had already started a project to convert it to a divided freeway and add an overpass but at this intersection, this unprotected left caused a six vehicles "including a dump truck with a trailer, a truck tractor, a car, and a pickup". Four people died in this massive wreck; one of them was the old teammate. And that was when the game was ended abruptly.
