A student and her football player boyfriend were caught behind the school after a game making out and probably more. The girl was made to publicly apologize to the class and then “strongly encouraged” to leave and finish her high school somewhere else. The boy faced no public repercussions and appeared to carry on as normal.
Let’s call her “Jenny”. For about a year, any time someone pushed the line on public displays of affection per school rules, they were warned to tone it down or they would get “Jenny’d”.
Catholic school, in case you couldn’t guess.
Awful. Which decade did this happen?
Knowing Catholic run schools this might as well have been last week.
Late 2000s

Girl who had a crush on me (and dumbass me was very slowly figuring this out) got in trouble in class for mouthing off, and when the teacher told her to go to the principal’s office she refused. He grabbed her by the arm and she kicked the teacher in the balls. HARD. I never saw her again. I think she had a number of issues. But damn, she was hot.
Your balls thank you for never clueing in
Dodged a bullet. She had transferred in from somewhere. Pretty sure she was desperate for friends and was love bombing me. I was dumb and naive.
Close! It’s naive
Thanks. Phone at early o’clock typo.
A neighboring school to me had a dean of students with an absolutely terrible relation to the students, and someone a few grades above me got a few weeks of out-of-school suspension for waiting for the very end of Spirit Day (when everyone was outside enjoying a popsicle, I guess the teachers thought they had the attention span of 6-year-olds) and kicking her into the grass. He’s still a celebrity for this.
Remember a story a teacher told the class where it looked like a student had fallen asleep so she got her friend to try to wake her up but then a pool of blood starting leaking out of her arms
Turns out she had a nose bleed and went unconscious after trying to hide said nose bleed instead of telling the teacher
Australia btw
Even the nose bleeds are scarier in Australia!
We have 2 major incidents
First one:
Dude A lends Dude B some money, relatively small amount, pretty sure it was less than $50. Dude B decides he’s not going to pay it back, so like mature, reasonable teenagers they decide they’re going to go to the park after school to fight about it.
Dude A is not a big guy, he asks Dude C who is a giant of a human being to come along just to make sure he doesn’t get killed, sort of a referee to pull dude B off of him if things get out of hand, not expecting him to step in or lend a hand or anything.
Dude B apparently has a different idea about how this is going to go down, and has a few friends come along with him with screwdrivers and baseball bats and other such improvised weapons.
Dude C sees this as they’re about to walk off the school property to fight, and does his job, takes these weapons, throws them in his bag, throws his jacket over the protruding bat, and they’re about to continue on their way.
The school, however, got word of this fight about to go down, and a bunch of cops show up.
Dude A lucks the fuck out and a passing senior he kind of knew pulls him into her car and assures the police that he wasn’t involved in this clusterfuck. None of the other kids give him up and he gets off scott-free and cops never figured out who the last unnamed party to this was.
The rest of them are all taken in, questioned, and receive their various punishments. Dude C gets the worst of it since he’s the guy who’s now holding all the weapons. He goes and spends a year or so at an alternative school, and is allowed to come back partially on the condition that he joins the football team. Our senior year we proceeded to win 0 football games, so fat lot of good having a giant on the team did.
Apparently dude C had misled his friends about how much money this was over, when informed by the cops that it was over like $40 he flew into a small rage, threw some things around, then calmly sat down and said “I have been misinformed”
Rumors of course start swirling and the truth gets very lost to the point I heard a version of the story where Dude C attacked the cops with a samurai sword and tried to flee on a motorcycle.
I’m pretty confident that this is a pretty accurate version of events though, a couple of the involved parties have all told me pretty much the exact same story, and it’s relatively unspectacular compared to some of the embellished versions I’ve heard. It’s also pretty much in line with what I know of their personalities.
For the most part, these kids weren’t dangerous, I don’t think any of them really had any other significant problems for the rest of their school career, and I’d describe most of them as nerds and generally decent people, some of them have some mental/emotional baggage, and couple that with some hormones and being stupid teenagers the stars just kind of aligned in the wrong way, and for the most part none of them held any significant grudges against each other and could probably have been considered friends to some extent afterwards.
Second incident:
I’m home sick one day, my mom worked at a school in our district, my sister was in school this day.
The phone rings, it’s an automated message from the district. Something about the district being made aware of a threat to the high school, but that everything is under control, there’s no danger, etc. not a lot of details.
Call my mom, she doesn’t have much more info than I do, she’s, not particularly worried, but of course a lot of parents panic and go to pick up their kids. She texts my sister to see if she wants to be picked up, she declines, she’s having a good time, it’s her and like 3 other people left in her class, they’re chilling and watching movies and such, there’s a news crew and some cop cars outside of the school.
Having nothing better to do, I’m going through all the news I can to figure out what’s up.
Eventually, it took a few days for all of the details to emerge, what we managed to piece together was
There was a kid who was planning a shooting, tried to recruit another kid who turned him in. Cops raided his house, found a bunch of airsoft guns, flea market swords, a half-built pipe bomb, and one gun (that his parents bought him) with no ammo.
This kid had been pulled out of school and was being homeschooled because of bullying. I didn’t know him, he was a few years younger than me, but from what I understand from people who knew him he was mostly bullied because he was an unlikeable racist asshole. The short bit of attention the media gave it tried to make it out like he was bullied for being fat (and let’s make no mistake, this dude was fat he may have been almost as wide as he was tall) but from the stories I’ve heard of him from before this happened, if any kid ever deserved bullying it was him for being such a major asshole.
I wouldn’t really mention his fatness, except that at some point during the trial and such, his mom (herself a very large lady) got in trouble for trying to smuggle him food, which was just icing on the proverbial cake.
The kid who turned him then went and broke into his house a little while later and tried to steal his Xbox or something.
That sounded like you were talking about Cartman.
You would not be the first to point out the Cartman parallels, it definitely crossed my mind while I was writing it out.
Kid nearly lopped an arm off another kid with a samurai sword. Guess he was bullied and he lost his shit one day. Kid with the sword got help, and the kid who got cut didn’t lose an arm.
If I lived in a country with lax gun control, this would have been a much different situation.
Where does one casually get a samurai sword? Was he the hero of time?
A friend of mine recounts how in 1988 he flew home from Japan with a high quality katana as carry-on. Wrapped in a beach towel.
Remember there was a time before 2001 when Americans and everyone else flew differently, and there may be a number of katanas laying around from parents who traveled abroad and bought souvenirs and then tossed them in the attic without thinking.
Even in a Japanese setting, I didn’t know you could just buy a katana out of nowhere and freely carry it around.
There were knife and souvenir shops in Spain that sold katanas. Don’t think they were sharp but I always wanted to have one when we went there on vacation. But they were too expensive. But we did get some shuriken, nunchakus (I got some padded ones because I was the younger child) and a butterfly knife.
It has to be an authentic samurai sword since they’re kid of a national treasure. If not, there’s specific rules about transporting it to and from your dojo and stuff.
Source: got my shit help up in Japanese customs when I had a very NOT ahthentic katana in my household goods. Went 3 months without my stuff
For some reason my local thrift store had a few katanas and random other weeb tier weaponry at it.
Naturally my friend bought one.
I’d reckon from his parents, but I never saw the incident myself. You know kids in high school though. Spread a rumour and it catches like wildfire. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a machete.
Well there were a couple suicides, underage pregnancies, one of my classmates having sex with a teacher (F 16, M40+), a teacher who got shot on a bus, and another teacher who died suddenly in a car crash because he was recklessly driving with a sex worker.
But none of that transcended as “the incident”. Personally what was most memorable to me was the time a large gasoline truck crashed and tipped over right at the gates of the school. It didn’t catch fire but it got messy fast. Class got cancelled, the street ( a busy avenue) got cut so they could spray some substance on the spill. Fun times hey.
The fuck did you go to school? Gotham?
Just Buenos Aires. I’m sure there’s gotta be worse than that in a lot of places. I’ve never heard of a single kid with a gun there for example
died suddenly in a car crash because he was recklessly driving with a sex worker.
I know they probably played it straight for the eulogy, but I hope someone managed a “died doing what they loved” or something, at least.
We had a girl in middle school who was raped by her uncle and carried the pregnancy to term and, IIRC, graduated high school. She was impregnated at age 11. The wealthy white girls who got pregnant were all disappeared as soon as it was known.
Rural Ohio, almost entirely white school - mid-to-late '90s. Bunch of kids decided to form kinda gangs. One wore cowboy hats and boots. I forget the other. Apparently, a bunch came armed to a football game for some kind of “gang war”. Thankfully, that never materialized, but I do know that some definitely came armed. WTF people. No non-whites were allowed in said gangs. (This brought to you by the town with white supremacists and anti-Semites who would say “that’s Jewish” to mean something was uncool).
Edit: both of these public school in the same school system.
kid trying to score points with the cool kids squeezed an orange section on the lowest kid on the totem. Lowest kid calmly stood up. Went over to the juice squeezing kid and suddenly started to choke the piss out of him then got a hold of himself and calmly sat down and finished his lunch.
squeezed an orange section on the lowest kid on the totem
Can you translate this?
An orange slice was squeezed above the head of the kid that was the lowest in the social hierarchy in order to cover them in juice.
yes. this is exactly what was done to instigate.
Lowest kid climbed 43 rungs that day, but probably never realized it.
Climbed rungs, hell…
He was removed from the ladder and placed into the “Don’t fuck with” elevator.
class was like high teens in size.
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…
How?
Filled the wall with aerosols through a small hole, then ignited it.
Interesting
Ok so, how did they do that?
Filled the wall with aerosols through a small hole, then ignited it.
If it was anything like Doom developer John Carmack back when he was 8, maybe thermite or something similar.
So one day a friend of mine came over when we were 14, around 25 years ago. He had a piece of newspaper with him and said : check this shit out. It was a big article about a teacher that had a “relationship” with a student. He made me read the whole thing and it was clearer and clearer that it was our school at the time. Not only that, it was also his girlfriend involved. It was super odd. She was like 13 and he was around 60. I don’t really remember the details, but it was a lot of love letters being sent back and forward.
I thought this would be the biggest bombshell in the history of bombshells and could only imagine what monday at school would be like. Long story short, she moved away like IMMEDIATELY, and i have no idea whatever happened to the teacher, but as far as i remember nothing really except that he became a teacher at another school, and no one really ever talked about it, but everyone knew. It was quite bizarre
How tf does anyone let that teacher move schools and continue teaching.
This happened the year before I moved to the school, but at the beginning of the new school year I heard a lot of whispers about it and once saw a teacher shut down a conversation amongst a group of students about it.
So only ever hearing this third hand, it went something like this: a group of jocks abducted one of their friends after school one day. They took him out to someone’s farm land blind folded, tied him up in a tree (or on a cross) and terrorized him by doing crazy shit like running a chainsaw close between his legs.
The kid they did this too immediately became an outcast skater punk who played in the local metal band. I got to know him a little bit through my girlfriend at the time and he was really cool. I have no idea why they did that too him. I don’t know what, it any, punishment was handed down to the perpetrators. I know the school district wanted to expel them but it didn’t happen during school.
It was common that year for kids from the neighboring town to drive by and yell stuff like “HEY LET’S GO CRUCIFY ONE OF OUR OWN PLAYERS!”
I also got reprimanded by a teacher for joking about kidnapping a friend of mine in order to force him to pay back the various $5 he had borrowed from everyone in our friend group. It was 100% a joke of course but I didn’t realize what poor taste it was at the time.
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.
That’s cute!!! You did the right thing, I’m sure it was difficult and it’s very brave not chickening out of it.
Thank you; it’s been a long, hard road for sure and our kiddos are now grown and doing well. We took the lessons learned and went into foster / adoption and now have a large family which has been a huge learning experience of its own.
The time an 8th grader cut his finger off.
Wood or metal shop?
History class.
Going to need some more details
Well, we were in history class and the teacher was talking about the revolutionary war. The teacher asked if anyone knew what types of guns the colonists used. Thats when the overachieving kid, stuck his hand in the air, desprate to answer. Well, the room had an old beaten up metal ceiling fan. And as he raised his hand more and more, the teacher ignored him. He wanted to hear from someone ELSE for a change. Well, he didn’t want to accept that he wasn’t going to get called on. So he’s raising his hand extra high. He starts almost standing, until the teacher said “Sit down, I KNOW you have the answer.” And the fan continued to keep us breezy on that June day.
That’s when there was some commotion in the hallway, and the class clown opens the door to play with them. Turns out it was two girls taking their shirts off. So now every 14 year old boy is rushing to press up against the door. Well his pinky was still in the doorway, because he was trying to play with them before EVERYBODY noticed. That’s when the door chopped off his finger.
Was this a New York school by any chance? I heard a story just like that before.
Cleveland, in 1998.
Kid was in history class, cut his finger off.
What more do you need to know?
The rest is history.
French Fries aren’t supposed to have bones…
Yes, but also why are you eating french fries covered in blood, found on the floor?
…because thats how we found his finger.
Reminds me of the time a student in my high-school partially cut into their finger in Woodwork
Australia btw
A kid in high school got caught jerking off in the bathroom by the school principal. His full name became a euphemism for jerking off after that.
Someone in a neighboring school to mine did it in both Health class and French class, because the people pictured in the textbooks were attractive. The teacher for the health class one was very, very gung-ho about other peoples’ health (like he’d order you to go to the cafeteria to eat if you skipped lunch, that kind of thing), and after that, it became a running joke to ask him (the health teacher) if they could “improve their lower health”.
I’m more concerned about the teacher creeping on kids in the bathroom, wtf.
Back when I was in high school, it wasn’t uncommon for teachers to use the same restrooms as the students. I can’t quite remember but I think there were only a couple staff toilets on the campus, one in each gendered locker room and one in the front office.
Anyway, my point is there’s at least the possibility that the principal was just using the bathroom normally and the poor kid was being… less than subtle about what he was doing in the stall.
When I was at school teachers had to go into the toilets to stop fights and fetch kids who were hiding or being sick.
Bathrooms were shared back then between teachers and students. And when this happened, it was while class was ongoing, so he had very little expectation that he would run into any kids outside of class.
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
