People Share The Absolute Worst Thing Someone Did At Their School

School is a great experience for many, but the exact opposite for others. Whether because of issues at home, struggling with classes, or bullying, some students have a really hard time with school.

This can lead to some kids lashing out, or doing things that get them into a world of trouble.

*The following article contains discussion of suicide/self-harm, domestic violence, and gun-related injury*

Reddit user u/kre8iv_username asked:

"What was the worst thing somebody did at your school?"

A student stole a gym teacher's phone and then turned himself in when he found that the gym teacher had been sneaking photos of underage girls changing in the locker room. Not sure what happened to the student but the teacher got fired and I believe some sort of criminal charges. Good on that kid that turned him in, he is truly the embodiment of chaotic good.

We had 14 bomb threats my freshman year of high school, where you evacuate, wait for police and bomb dogs to come clear the school for an hour. The first 2 were a little uneasy, but after that it was a routine break from 6th period.

a guys brought a whole tray of pot brownies to class. the teacher took one look and said "well are you going to share with the class?". Fearing that he would get caught for acting strange he ended up giving brownies to everyone. All of them got to go home early, and the guy got a few days suspension. I do not condone drugging unsuspecting people, but my personal favorite part is when he was asked to share he denied at first, implying that he was going to eat a whole tray of pot brownies by himself while trying to solve math problems.

Im hesitating between when two students took a bunch of sleeping pills, passed out in class and almost died, or a kid fighting a middle school History teacher because she tried to expel him from class.

Private catholic boarding school in France, some of the kids were spoiled, ill-mannered brats. They all were coming from rich families and did stuff like that all the time. I remember one time, a kid playing Chess was being bullied up to the point he pissed his pants. He had to change school because everybody was making fun of him.

A kid commited suicide one night in front of his ex's home room class so that she had to go to school the next morning and see his dead body. The groundsman found him before school even started thank god and all the parents were notified to not send their kids to school that day.

We had a few deaths and suicides at my high school but that one stuck out when we found out the details

Athletics Director put cameras in the girl's locker room and allegedly made some moves on some of them... it was Middle School.

somebody brought some sort of contraption to school that was thought to be a pipe bomb (iirc it wasn't), so the school made us evacuate. then the school searched the student's car and found hunting guns. we were forced further away from school and they had to call in SWAT. the guy who did it got expelled and was in so much trouble with the law. I don't think he meant to do anything, it just looked really bad.

I don't know if he would've gotten in trouble for just having the guns in his car on campus (probably) but it did add fuel to the fire since they found the guns after thinking he had a bomb.

Someone started a rumor saying they were going to shoot up the school. Posted it on different social media's, scrawled it in one of the bathrooms, told people not to come on a certain day, the whole 9 yards. Day came and not only did a ton of people not show up, we had police on site for obvious reasons. Luckily nothing came of it, but that was still a serious problem.

Had a kid put weed in the vents and then try to sell a fake bomb for 5 dollars. He's in jail now

Someone falsely reported a shooting at my school was going to happen on the coming Monday. Over the weekend two kids homes were searched, small town so everyone knew. Posts were made on Facebook and about 80% of the school did not attend on the following Monday. Students slowly began to trickle back into coming to school by the time the next Friday rolled around. One of the boys switched to home schooling afterwards actually a fairly nice guy sad to see it happened.

Kid and his friend got high and got out his parents' gun. They played with it, they claim they were cleaning it and he ended up shooting himself in the face...his best friend was right next to him, trying to hold the kid's face together.

He survived but his face is very contorted and he has had lots of surgeries and has a prosthetic nose.

Sometimes...he takes his nose off because it's uncomfortable to wear. There's just a hole there now.

At my high school there was a shortcut from one side of the building to the other side that went over the roof, 4 stories up and just below the shortcut was the entrance. a guy that had been extremely bullied decide to jump from up the roof in a suicide attempt. School got cancelled for a week. He did survive but he didn't come back, he changed schools.

Some girl with a long dress kneeled down and took a dump in the middle of the cafeteria then walked off like nothing happened. I saw the whole thing. Not the worst thing but the worst that I myself witnessed

A girl killed our superintendent in a hit in run accident around the corner for the school. She was speeding because she was running late for a class trip. She also killed the superintendents dog because he was taking him for a walk at the time. He was really liked in our community and it was devastating.

There was a kid who would write bomb threats on the bathroom wall. He did it about 5-6 times before they caught him. Every time, they had to evac the school and send in police to search. Cost my city a ton of money. Never would have expected the kid that did it either.

​A fight spilled into my classroom. The two students began fighting each other somewhere in the hall before somehow opening the door to my class mid-fight. The room was not a normal classroom. It was meant for tech design classes, and had lots of computers in it around the walls. The two students continued to hit each other (admittedly not very well, both parties were inexperienced and missed most of the time) and ended up backing onto the desktop computer in front of me. I quickly got out of there to avoid being caught in the crossfire. They rolled along the desk, knocking every computer on it's side or off the desk. My poor 4 foot nothing teacher, a very softspoken woman, was desperately trying to contain the situation.

Then, the students began moving back towards the door, arms and legs still flailing. Out the door they went, followed by my teacher quickly closing the door behind them. Both students were suspended. The computers were damaged and some had to be replaced.

I knew both of the students involved, and they were both really terrible people. Had no sympathy for either of them and when I wasn't staring in disbelief I was laughing my ass off.

This one girl in my grade in high school was an outcast. I never had any issues with her, but she was the kind of person who would hiss at people who she didn't like. Needless to say, people kind of avoided her.

My sophomore year, a couple guys filmed her talking about whichever 'The Purge' movie was coming out around the time, and used the video to set up a fake shooting threat to the school. There was even a fake "list" of people who she was going to target. The day it was supposed to happen, the place was practically deserted, and she got arrested on her way to school.

Since it was all a setup, they let her go, but she withdrew from the school right then and there, and I never saw her again. The guys who set the whole thing up got away with it with zero repercussions. It pisses me off to this day.

Idk if it's the worst, but it's the worst one that I heard of and missed. Word got out that an abusive boy was beating his girlfriend. This is a rough redneck area with people who aren't scared to fight people over something like this.

A larger kid heard him boasting about beating her during lunch, told him he better apologize for even thinking it was something to be proud of and to never do it again.

Abuser laughed in his face. He got the smackdown of a lifetime, and it took numerous other boys to pull the big guy off of him. Ripped one kid's shirt in the process.

After big boy was done, he just walked himself to the principal's office.

Whole fight was recorded and got posted on social media for a bit, including the moments beforehand. Hence how I know what led to it. The kids around either knew the abuser was gonna get beat beforehand, or noticed the growing tension and started recording just in case.

People Break Down The Biggest Changes You'd See In 'Harry Potter' If It Were Set In The U.S.

Image by tookapic from Pixabay

Can you see Harry Potter at a football game in the Midwest? Chowing on a corn dog, throwing back some good ole Pepsi-Cola? Or can you picture the Harry universe living and loving in the great U. S of A? What would casting look like against the backdrop of the great harvest plains? I have so many thoughts and ideas. The first thought, the change would never work. Keep the story alive on British soil.

But, for fun, let's chat about the idea.

Redditor u/Cuish wanted all the Potter heads out there to share what American tweeks would occur in the Potterverse within America, by asking:

If Harry Potter was set in the United States, how would the story change?

People Break Down Which Tasks Are Not As Simple As People Think They Are

Life isn't as simple as one may think. It's not always easy to take a step back and look at the big picture, but when there's over seven billion people on the planet, there's no way things are as cut and dry as they seem.

Everyone's experiences are different going through life. We may not be able to see the complexities it if we haven't lived it ourselves.

So we went to Reddit because we wanted to see what's not as simple as people think it is.

People Explain Which Double Standards Need To End Immediately

RobinHiggins/Pixabay

Double standards are something we all live with and, quite likely, find extremely annoying. Things like men being expected to hide their emotions—or not have them at all—or women being expected to stay home and support a couple's children, everyone is generally harmed by double standards.

This is especially true when the double standard isn't clear until someone violates it and then has to deal with anger, ridicule, or sometimes even violence as a result.

People Describe The Most Valuable Item They've Ever Found In The Garbage

Image by jacqueline macou from Pixabay

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure - and sometimes that saying is pretty literal.

Lots of people build entire businesses picking up cool stuff on bulk-pickup trash day, and upcycling it into something even better that people are willing to pay for.

Sometimes, you might even end up with something pristine and usable right away.

Reddit user JampackedAlborn1976 asked:

What is the most valuable item that you have seen somebody throw away or have found in the garbage?

And for real ... some of these people scored BIG TIME. Like big time. Like really big.

Like Refrigerator Big

just ask leslie jones GIF by Saturday Night Live Giphy

"Our current refrigerator is a double-door one with exterior ice and water dispensers. We got it for free, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. It's just a few years old."

"How we got it? My dad (civil engineer) was doing some work on someone's apartment when they said they had bought a new modern French door refrigerator and that they were just going to discard their current refrigerator."

"My dad simply asked if he could have it.. and they said yes." - SauloJr

Immigrants In Action

"I immigrated to the US from Brazil when I was 12. And every Saturday, my mom, stepdad, sister and I would go out at night to upper middle class neighborhoods the day before trash pickup to rummage through the garbage they were putting out."

"We found perfectly good TVs, VCRs, microwaves, couches, lazy boys, tables, books and comics, etc."

"I couldn't believe these Americans were throwing out like that. We furnished our entire house with that stuff. The entire Brazilian immigrant community in my town did it. We were flabbergasted." - PhillipLlerenas

With A Note

"My wife yelled at me that someone put a big TV outside with a note on it. Walked across the street and it was a brand new Samsung 37 inch HDTV."

"They were actually renovating the apartment building and got an upgraded TV. Even had the remote taped to it with batteries, I guess I have really nice neighbors here in NYC." - MadLintElf

Life Hack!

"If you want high end stuff out of the garbage for free, follow these steps:"

"Pick a city with a large university in it. If it's a school well known for its law programs, or medical, or engineering, all the better."

"Search for luxury apartment complexes that market themselves towards students. Look for things like included shuttle service, pools, fitness centers, etc. The more expensive and swanky the better."

"Figure out when finals week is at the end of Spring semester."

"Dumpster dive at those luxury apartment complexes during that week and the following weekend."

"Very wealthy international students will arrive in the US, fully outfit an apartment with nice furniture, big TVs, audio systems, gaming consoles, you name it, and when the semester ends they just junk it all because they aren't going to fly it back to wherever, and it's too much effort to spend the time selling when they do not care about the money."

"It's a smaller scale phenomenon a little like all the luxury cars abandoned at the airport in Dubai." - whattothewhonow

Literal Gold Treasure

"I found a gold coin at goodwill for 5 bucks. It was in a case with someone's name and company name."

"It was their gift from the company for retiring. I assume the family threw it out when he died not knowing it was solid gold. It was in a in a thick solid plastic case that had to be cracked opened."

"It literally said 1 oz fine gold on it. I figured 5 bucks was worth the risk it not being real."

"It was a South African KRUGERRAND 1 oz coin. Everyone was just too busy to read it lol."

"Bought it and took it too a pawn shop and sold it for a couple grand." - streetmitch

The Best Day Of My Life

Will Smith Wow GIF by 1LIVE Giphy

"When I was a kid, I grew up right outside the Los Angeles area in the suburbs. My stepdad was a garbage truck driver for the city of Beverly Hills."

"I swear in the late 80s and early 90s we'd have so much basically brand new stuff (still in boxes) brought home on a regular basis."

"I'll never forget one day in particular. My stepdad came home and was like 'get ready, come to the car, I'll need your help.' So I go down there and in back seat of his car he had a few large black garbage bags."

"We haul them up to our apartment and he's like 'go ahead, open them.' Inside was what I could only describe as an 80s kids trove of treasures."

"One bag contained just about every Ghostbusters and GI joe toy you can imagine, they were played with but had every little accessory, there was a bunch the playsets and everything."

"In the other bag was pretty much every LEGO of the early 80s sets, still in their original boxes. I was a big LEGO nerd but was totally thrown off by the old school space ones because they looked nothing like the 90s space sets. I think they even said "NASA" the minifig's chests."

"That was like a random day in July, it felt like Christmas. I was 9 years old and it was basically like the best day of my life up to that point." - Zombgief

Who Throws Away Money?

spongebob squarepants money GIF Giphy

"A jar full of quarters."

"Annual spring cleaning projects happen in a lot of towns where anyone can put almost anything on the curb and it's taken away for free. It's to stop open dumping or stuff being dumped in ditches."

"Sometimes people deal with estates from winter by just dumping all their grandfather's stuff on the curb for the cleanup to get the house empty immediately. Most often they don't even bother to look at what they are throwing away."

"In 2012 on north road in Akwesasne I found an estate pile that I shuttled back and forth with my bike trailer getting lots of older tools like a scythe, hammers, saws, screwdrivers and wrenches, a 22 rifle with 100 round of ammo, a bunch of ar15 magazines, cast iron cookware, oil lamps, a hand crank food mill with all kinds of accessories, a black raven axe head (worth $100 easily since they are a collectable), and a quart size mason jar full of change mostly quarters."

"That was spring and the sheriffs office did a gun buyback in the fall where I took the mags and got $20 each for them (30 round mags suddenly illegal under the safe act of fall 2012. The buyback was a local political move). I still got the 22 and picked off a lot of woodchuck with it in my gardens." - Bogtrotterso1980

Filing Fever

Files Workload GIF Giphy

"I own a small company which is located directly in front of a state funded program facility. The state decided to have this office shred all of their files as they were going to switch to electronic data (exclusively)."

"We found two of these old rotary filing cabinets outside of their office. They're worth almost $3k each!"

"They just placed them there and we saw them and asked what they planned on doing with them. They said, 'Hmmm.....either donate them or trash them.' The state told them simply to get rid of them."

"We jumped at this and took the two into our already tiny office because there was no way in hell that we were going to let these gems go. (We do use paper files, unfortunately)."

"They wanted to give us two smaller ones but seriously, our office is very small. I made some phone calls and they were picked up immediately by other office workers/friends." - GlitzBlitz

This Sucks - In A Good Way!

"In the 1990s my moms work had a really nice high end Hoover that stopped working. They threw it out."

"My mom took it home because my dad tinkers and repairs things easily. Turns out since it was a bagged vacuum all the dummies had to do is REPLACE THE BAG."

"Like it never occurred to them to do the most easy and basic step. My parents were excited to have a really upgraded vacuum. Maybe like $500ish." - schweddyboobs

Tiffany's Trash

Audrey Hepburn Movie GIF by The Good Films Giphy

"My dad found an old stained glass window laying out by someone's trash. He thought it would look cool hanging in our cabin, so he stopped and grabbed it."

"It sat in our garage for a few years before he looked at it more closely and found "Tiffany and Co." branding on it. He got in touch with some stained glass window dude who figured it was worth about $40k fully restored, so my dad sold it to him for somewhere around $30k." - throwaway_stopdrink
