That was me. Girlfriend and I got pregnant when I was 15 and again at 17. Kept both and got a job. Studied hard and graduated 19th in my class with honors. Ton of negativity from school staff and loss of friends which is still hard to let go of. We did marry the fall after I graduated and after years of poverty things have slowly gotten more stable.

Some guy peed in a handdryer. Which is weird but even weirder was that the principal did a 15 min sprach about how the perpetrator has mental problems and needs to seek help. It was really funny.

A day before I got in a guy set fire to the trash in the chapel. So I befriended him immediately!

One of my classmates did the Hitler salute and exclaimed “Heil Hitler” - an expression which is (rightfully) penalized in Germany, where I live.

The guy was a son of our local police officer.

He didn’t got expelled, but he had a very stern talk with our school director. I presume that it was made clear to him that if this ever happens again, he’s out. From what I heard last, in the last few years he was really ashamed of what he did when he was younger. I sincerely hope he is doing okay now - he got into the police, and people like him who recognize that being right isn’t cool are needed.

Coincidentally my school is in Dessau; our city is well-known for producing Zyklon B, a lethal gas used in KZs across Germany, and a “case of sudden self-igniting” of a migrant called Oury Jalloh in a police cell. Obviously all the camera footage of that cell randomly broke down, there was blood found in the dining room and the guy didn’t have anything to lit himself on fire with. But that all obviously is just a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not a good city to do the Hitlers salute in (if there ever was any, which - surprise - doesn’t), tbh.

A boy got ran over and killed while biking home by a senior who was texting and driving on their way home. It happened less than a mile away from the highschool

A couple of students blew up a cinder block wall. A hole large enough to drive an old style mini through.

The wall divided up two tennis courts and rubble was scattered to every corner of those courts.

This happened at lunch time, when those courts were packed with students.

Someone should have been killed, but not one injury, not one…

Kids step dad found an unfired mortar while working on base. Kid brought it to school and dropped it in the band room. Thankfully no one died, but there was still a shrapnel ring in the room when i graduated a few years later.

One kid sniffed lighter gas and jacked off during 9th grade chemistry class. He passed out and fell off his chair and hit his head to the floor with his dick still clutched in his hand.

The teacher was so terrified that she couldn’t do anything but stutter and shake violently. Me and a couple of my friends dragged the idiot outside to get fresh air while waiting for the ambulance.

The sniffer came back to school the next day like nothing had ever happened. This incident was never again discussed in any way by the teachers or other faculty members.

There were lots of totally crazy shit happening on a weekly basis. The early 90’s were pretty wild where I grew up.

Power went out for like a whole day then they found a fried rat chomped into the power cable

Beverly Hillbilly type drove past a football team member’s family garage sale and called them n-words and n-word lovers.

He was slow-rolling by so one of the player’s (white) friends, the team captain as it happens, reached through the window and came pretty close to yanking him out of it before he managed to get away.

It’s a fairly conservative county but also very rich and they like to keep the ugliness (and the history of redlining) on the DL so he got expelled and some of the football team broke his arm later. Tragically, despite him naming names, they all had alibis and parents who could afford lawyers.

Also tragically, his parents could afford to send him to a very nice military school that probably looked better on his college application anyways. However, he was dumb as shit regardless, so they might have just sighed and accepted he’ll have to be the boss’s idiot son for a career.

Fairly interesting expression of socio-economic conflict and human tribalism all around, honestly. Some of the guys who broke Beverly Hillbilly’s arm have said some pretty racist shit on Facebook since then even if they weren’t so crude, but their teammate was in the tribe so to speak and therefore someone outside of it, and a social outcast to boot, had to punished for attacking him.

I’m not sure how much of a scandal it was outside of those directly affect, but I was in the circle. A group of us, led by one of the younger drama teachers, went to the Edinburg Fringe Festival (a big literary, drama and comedy festival) with a bunch of short comic plays by Checkov (yes, really!). he was attractive enough that he had to make sure not to be alone in a room with a female student in case of rumours, but he was decent and would never had done anything like that. He got his wife and his brother involved too, which was cool, we all got on really well. We had a lot of fun, it was great, and, amazingly for the first time at the Fringe, didn’t actually lose money! (I think we made like fifty quid between twelve of us, so we didn’t exactly make a profit either, but it was an amazing experience)

Then his brother and his wife had an affair and ran away together

Someone opened the soap dispensers and put doodoo in them.

I had a band teacher that I highly respected in high school. He took a band program that was the worst in the state, a complete shit show, and made it an award winning program. I always saw some of the students hanging out with him in his office at lunch, never thought about it my self or noticed that it was all girls. Fast forward a couple of years after I graduated, I’m working in a local popular sandwich shop down the road from the school. I always saw this one girl who would come in and get his lunch order. I asked her, and she said she was the student assistant for him. The school setup a program after I graduated to earn working experience as student assistants. It turns out the teacher was having an affair with this girl, who was only 17. The school district IT admin found explicit emails between them on the schools email system, and things went haywire. And since the law at the time in my state was 16 was the age of consent, it wasn’t illegal. But it was still a huge scandal, married teacher sleeping with his student. The school forced him to resign and the girls family told him to never contact her or come near them. Once she graduated, they got married and are still married to this day.

Had a girl that was hardcore into ROTC and she staged this fake “attack” in the girls bathroom and stabbed herself in the leg. She did it to be awarded some medal she didn’t have yet.

The time an 8th grader cut his finger off.
