Real Life Students Expose Their School’s Worst Moments

Your school years are probably a pretty memorable time in your life, but for some people, the most memorable parts of adolescence were the scandals that befell their school. From bad teachers to downright mean students, these memorable scandals will probably give you secondhand embarrassment.

The Worst Case Scenario

In science class during my first year of high school, my teacher was demonstrating different types of acid and how dangerous they were. Then the worst possible scenario happened. He knocked a beaker over and the acid ran over the table and onto a girl.

She screamed, he was beside himself until he snapped out of it and took her away while another teacher cleaned up the mess. He didn’t teach much longer at our school after that.

I also heard that the girl’s mother either sued or tried to sue the teacher and possibly the school for the lasting damages that occurred to the girl’s leg. The acid had gone through her leggings and kind of mixed with her skin so she had to get some skin grafts to cover it.

I Haven’t Heard From Him Since

A kid in my school who was very smart and got great grades, but was also kind of a weird guy, ended up having some sort of psychotic break while staying up for days on end working on a pretty big assignment for a class I had with him.

He was already going above and beyond by making a very detailed video rather than a PowerPoint like everyone else. But I guess the pressure got to him, because this was a presentation that none of us will ever forget.

Before he even played the video for the class, he went on this super bizarre rant about the meaning of life and all this existential stuff that made no sense for around 30 minutes before the teacher finally got him to stop.

Later that night, he was apparently knocking on random doors at 2 AM, trying to give the people in those homes the same weird speech. After that, he was sent to a psych ward, and I haven’t heard about him or seen him ever since.

Baseless Threat

A kid in my class sent an email to the White House threatening to hurt Socks, the Clintons’ cat. The Secret Service showed up a few days later after they tracked down the computer the message was sent from.

A Freak Snowstorm

Senior year, there was a freak snowstorm in April, during which the quietest and nicest stoner in our class went missing. A day later, they found his car in a ditch—but he was nowhere to be found.

Then a week later the snow melted—and people made a horrifying discovery: His body, a few miles from the car. He’d crashed and, in his presumed high state, got out of the vehicle to walk for help with no coat on.

He eventually found a telephone pole and sat down against it to rest and was believed to have passed due to being frozen from the storm. Seeing his mom at her only child’s funeral still haunts me.
