School is hard. Sometimes, a kid may be different from the rest of his classmates, and everyone else is cruel and makes fun of them.
However, every now and then, you do find that kid that is weird, not because they are different from everyone else, but because they really just do or say something strange or even evil. Those are the kids their classmates will never forget.
I can't think of anyone like that in my high school, but plenty of Redditors have stories about that!
Curious to find out more, Redditor UngyBungy9383 asked:
"What did "the weird kid" in your school do that you'll never forget?"
I Have Questions!
"He wrote in my yearbook 'When I was 6 years old, I went into a cornfield. I didn’t realize it was a maze. I was stuck for several days without food or water. When they found me, the doctors said I’d never be the same. Good luck in college!'"

Crass
"Stole a car, crashed it, lost both his legs at 17. A few years later he did it again, but this time he stabbed one of the good Samaritans who tried to help him, and shot at another one. He then led the police on an 8 hour manhunt through tropical jungle by detaching his prosthetics and hiding under the leaves and mud, and using a makeshift raft to escape downriver under the cover of nightfall. The newspaper the next day read "armed and legless.""

"I kind of laughed at "lost both of his legs at 17. A few years later he did it again""
"I'm like.. he lost his legs twice?!!!?!!?"
– Carennna
"Yes, he lost all four of them."

Sometimes You Just Need A New Name
"He said he was Sonic The Hedgehog, when someone asked his name he would say "I am Sonic" and run away as fast as he could. He even wrote his name as Sonic on homework and tests. Most people never knew his real name"
– Sam_9786
"The albino kid in school. He would take off running down the hallway with one hand straight out in front of him and yell, "white lightning!" He was weird but everyone liked him."
– Favnonpornomag
Yeah, That Tracks
"Poured his juice on the table at lunch and suction cupped his mouth over it and inhaled it all like a hoover when you put it directly onto a hard floor"
"He's a lawyer now"
– SIDEWlNDER
"Sounds about right."
– ryanasalone
This Was Wonderful!
"A few days before a pep assembly, anonymously posted signs all over school that said “the c*ck is coming”. Teachers and school administrators were obviously concerned but clueless."
"Smuggled a live rooster into the assembly and partway through the opening speech at the assembly, whipped it out over his head as it went apeshit. Entire gym full of kids stood up and started chanting “C*ck! C*ck! C*ck!”"
"Was not seen at school for a few days after that.""

"Here comes the rooster"

Life Lesson
"He was generally very weird and erratic. One day he extracted a huge slimy booger out of his nose, turned around to me and a friend and told us full of glee: "guys, look!""
"Then he stuffed it back into his nose..."
"One day I asked him why he was so weird and he told me with the straightest face: "The jester's cap affords one many liberties.""
"So I don't know if he was just weird or a secret genius, maybe a bit of both."
– Horticorti
"These are words to f*cking live by."

Animal Instincts
"She barked at people and tried to scratch behind her ears with her foot amd sniffed peoples butts at recess. She was 14."
– AbnormalSkittles
"Oh my God you had a dog girl?? We had a cat girl!!! She would wear all black and had cat ears, cat gloves, cat collar, and even a fu*king cat tail, and she would walk around the hallways meowing at people. If she didn't like you for whatever reason, because she never actually spoke to anyone, she would hiss at you and swat at you until you left, but sometimes she would chase you. She had two friends if I recall correctly, and she would nuzzle into them and purr. She was the ONLY person who acted like this, and she was that way my entire highschool years, albeit a year younger than me. I graduated in 2018, and I often wonder where she is now and if she's still meowing at strangers."
"I am pretty sure I found her (just judging from my facial memory here) and she has a newborn as of this year. No cat ears on either of them! Which is good...I guess?"
– duuckyy
The Power Of Imagination
"So, there was a guy at our school when i was a freshman that everyone called "wolfman" who was weird in all the bad ways. He claimed to have super powers: teleportation, DBZ like energy creation and what not. All the girls said he would he just stare at them if they had class with him. He hung around us freshmen and did his best to "flirt" with the girls. For an example of his "flirting" he once told a girl that while astral projecting, he saw her face on Jupiter. Needless to say, girls stayed away from him."
"He graduated though, and his brother started at the school. Now, "wolfman" wasn't a tall guy by any strech of the imagination, maybe 5 feet at most, but his brother was a good foot shorter than him. He looked liked he belonged in 3rd grade (he never got any taller). It didn't help that he always wore a child's goosebumps jacket, that made people start calling him goosebumps. He was even more "convinced" of his powers than his brother, but at least he was less sexually creepy, but that's all he had going for him. One memorable day i was in math class, and he started shaking violently, people ignored him, so he started flapping his arms around. Wondering if this was an actual seizure the girl next to him put her hand on him and asked if he's ok, he growled back "take your hand off me, this power is too much to contain!" She started yelling at him for faking a seizure and he went back to normal death stare foward grumbling about his powers."

Um...Ew
"Was in the band during some down time, some guy kicks off his shoes and socks and bites the ends of his toenails off. Most of the class “casually” migrated towards the other side of the room."
– madlyinlov3
No Words
"Humped my desk for a solid minute while maintaining eye-contact with me, and then said, "thanks" and just walked away."
"I'm a guy, this was 15 years ago, on my first day at this new school, and I was just eating lunch at my desk, and this dude just walked up and went to town. No context, no introduction, nothing."
"Didn't even buy me dinner first. Just wham, bam, thank you desk.""

Okay, that last one was extra strange!
Do you have any strange school stories to tell? Let us know in the comments below.
"People Divulge Which Useless Things They Learned In School They Still Have Memorized"
Logarithms, naming the parts of a sentence, your high school locker combination.
We spend at least nine years going to school, with teachers doing their best to feed us information that we'll more than likely never use again. I don't remember much of what I learned in school, except for a song about how many days are in each month.
"Thirty days has September, April, June and November. All the rest have thirty one, except February."
Redditor u/Org_ChemistVir asked people, "What is the most useless thing you still have memorized?" and people shared the useless information that they've learned over the years through school, or just in life.
9. Great for people who actually live in Mississippi
"M-I-s-s-I-s-s-I-p-p-i
I have never had to spell Mississippi as an adult."
8. I actually love that they memorized this
"'What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we Charlie?"
'Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void, if, and you can read it for yourself in this photo static copy, 'I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses, herein and herein contained et cetera, et cetera. Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera et cetera. Memo bis punitor delicatum!' It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed, and sterilized, so you get NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!'"
6. I would really appreciate a lesson in taxes
"When growing up, my dad had an experiment to teach me something that I would remember simply by repeatedly asking me afterwards. REPEATEDLY.
Because of this, I learned the 4 moons around Jupiter. Not how to do taxes, not the correct way to professionally network but Io, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa."
4. I stopped locking my locker because I could never remember the combination
"My locker combination in 8th grade. That was a long time ago!"
3. A little jealous of this skill
"I can recite the entire soliloquy from Hamlet.
Whenever someone around me for some reason says 'to be, or not to be,' my wife instantly tries to drag me away before I can start. I do the intonation and flailing hand gestures too. It gets ugly."
2. It might be the most simple Seuss book
"The entire book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish"
School leaves us marked for life.
We learn more life lessons than we realize.
It takes a little time and distance to look back and assess the insanity that we all endured and survived.
Redditor agalaxyiguess1969 wanted everyone to give us a few tidbits about past school experiences that were on the "odd" side by asking...
What was the wildest thing that happened in your school?
Mooned.
Giphy"A 9th-grade kid drank half a liter of moonshine and nearly died from alcohol intoxication. Got taken to hospital, recovered and was expelled. This happened a month after the school year has started, so we barely even got to know him."Sinister_Fish42
After Graduation.
"I guess this happened after graduation but we had this kid who's life after graduating was just a big ol wild ride."
"I was on the swim team in school, and this kid was on the team with me. He was FAST, but never really meshed with the team. Just a weird mix of weirdness and cockiness but not a bad guy. After he graduated, he was the first from our school to go to straight to a really great program in our service and has a promising career ahead of him."
"After graduating that program he was sent to a really awesome location to work. Then he gets in trouble for making, using, and distributing drugs and gets sent to jail for a few years."
"I obviously don't hear much about him while he's in jail until one of my swim team friends shows me something another friend sent him. Our friend had gotten out of jail early for good behavior and had started doing gay porn. Nothing wrong with that, but obviously a big change in life direction and it was a gay for pay type of thing."
"Then he kind of falls off the radar again for a while, until a different friend from my swim team sends me another article and I can tell its him right away. Now he's in jail."
FIRE!!!
"Ever had a fire drill mid assembly?" SquidCultist002
The Pool....
"At my school we didn't have a pool but the city pool was a few streets over and we would often meet the teachers over there at the start of the period. When I was in year 9 (14 year old I'm pretty sure) one of our year groups classes went missing on the way. Turns out some of them had pulled the rest of the class aside and forced them all to take K2 legal high (if you don't know what that is it's a really dodgy substance that the nz government thought was ok in 2015 ish and was a legal high. Some kids had hallucinations and they all got taken home. Crazy wild to finally find out what happened."The-Marblecow
6th grade: .....
Giphy"6th grade: Someone got alcohol poisoning and had to be rushed to the hospital. They hid their alcohol in a Gatorade bottle 9th: Somone made a paper towel noose that had the n word written on it. Some pretty nasty fights in the cafeteria, in bathrooms and some in classrooms 10th: Someone had a seizure 11th: A girl knocked one of our resource officers flat on his butt."
"Can't think of anymore but I know something will happen soon."MyChemicalBoysPanic
One of the guys....
"One of the guys I graduated with tried to do a backflip over a fire pit the night before graduation. Landed face first in it and melted half his face. So all his day of pictures had his face semi melted and held together with plastic. Alcohol was involved of course. Seems to have healed pretty good though from picts now."MTAlphawolf
Parents Onboard.
"A kid was busted for growing weed in his closet, but he was using a really sophisticated and well put together hydroponics system. His parents were totally on board with his project too."Anodracs
Med School.
Giphy"A guy in my school tried to copy an exam from the dude behind him, was turning around and tore his spermatic cord in the process."
"Ironically, this is in med school."hzrrrow
The senior prank......
"The senior prank. All the seniors pulled their money to buy a three foot dildo, covered it in lube, and glued it to the ground. We got a picture of our school resource officer trying to pull it off. I think Chance the Rapper tweeted about it (not 100% sure) and if you google my school, that's the first thing that comes up."
"If we're talking middle school, the same year as the prank, a middle schooler put some of his "special sauce" in a crepe during a cooking competition- ie he came in it (and pissed in it). The teacher that was judging the competition actually ate it (she didn't know what was inside). I think she ended up pressing charges, and the whole reason the kids involved got caught was because they posted about it on Snapchat... middle schoolers aren't the brightest." juliasaige
The Stench of It.
Giphy"My middle school was arranged so that there was one long main hallway that the classrooms all branched off of. On the last day of school before summer break, 5 boys got the grand idea to simultaneously set off stink bombs in the main hall after the last class was dismissed. It was absolute pandemonium. The stench was so bad that kids were throwing up, having asthma attacks, screaming, crying, and rushing the doors to try and get fresh air. Needless to say, those 5 boys got in A LOT of trouble."PartTimeKhajiit
Dangerous Minds...
"We had a kid pull a knife in a fight, then proceed to get his butt kicked in. If you are going to throw away your life to attempted murder charges, you ought to at least win the damn fight."
"Then a couple years later a dozen or so kids got busted for black tar heroine. Dumb drug to do, way dumber to deal it on a military base."goodnt-guy
The Favorite.
"My history teacher was showing us YouTube videos, and while searching how to remove the ads opened his search history. No one would have seen anything if a guy in front of the class hadn't yelled "PORNTUBE" so loud that the classes around us heard it."
"The teacher was red from embarrassment and asked us how to delete it, so we spent the rest of the class showing him how to clean his search history and how to use incognito mod."
"The entire schooled talked about that for a couple days as he was everyone's favorite teacher but nothing happened to him that I know of."Belou99
Jumpers...
"A kid jumped over the railing on the second floor and hit his head or something just right so that he was instantly dead. He also landed on top of another student and ended up paralyzing her either from the neck down or the waist down, I don't remember."omglookawhale
The Star.
"We found out that one of our teachers is also a porn star."dangernoodles628
Caught on Camera.
"In middle school, this kid kept hiding his poop in the bathroom ceiling. The ceiling had those foamy removable tiles. One day, cameras were installed and he was caught because of the time frame in which he visited the bathroom. I'm not sure what his punishment was."BasedRocker
The Wine Grab.
"In catholic school, they left the storage closet that had all of the communion wine in it open. So a handful of us got in there and stole some bottles. It's essentially a very low alcohol red wine, but we were teenagers and free alcohol was free alcohol. I ran my bottle out and stashed it in my car, but one of the other guys left his in his backpack, walked into math class and dropped his back onto the tiled floor, shattering the bottle. Needless to say it leaked wine all over the floor and the teacher freaked out, causing the kid to freak out and he ran and locked himself in one of the bathrooms."
"They had to call his parents into the school to convince him to come out because he was panicking. The funniest part was, there was a freshman in the bathroom when he locked himself in there and he wouldn't let the kid leave, so it was like a borderline hostage situation for 30-45 minutes."
"The guy was typically a good kid, so he had to do 2 days ISS, and fortunately he didn't rat on anyone else."JudgementalChair
Lovers.
"The principal got caught having a affair with the assistant principal on school grounds in the janitor closet. I don't know who, some said a fellow student while others say the janitor did and reported it."IDevilsAdvocateI
Muzzled....
"There was a guy on the football field with a gun headed for the school. This was before school shooting became a big thing, and the principal let us run to our cars if we thought we could make it. Luckily, the guy had a muzzle loader and didn't know how to use it."ladies-pmme-nudespls
Kaboom!
Giphy"A guy I knew when I was a kid was playing with fireworks and accidentally burned down half the school, he will probably have to pay for the rest of his life."Azhz96
