As kids or teenagers, we are not really afraid to explore things. That’s probably why the days spent in middle or high school can turn into either the most pleasant or the worst time of our lives. No wonder some of these (good or bad) memories are eternal.
When a Redditor asked people to spill the tea about the biggest scandals in their schools, they didn’t hold back. Some of these stories are so horrifying that they traumatized netizens for days, while others will make you question what goes on in people’s minds. Scroll down to see what I mean!

A guy in my class dressed up as Michael Jordan for our end of year dress up day. Unfortunately he decided that the look wouldn't be complete unless he was in full body blackface, I'm talking arms and legs also completely covered in brown face paint. Unsurprisingly it didn't go down too well with the teachers. .

PhysEd teacher we had was pretty well liked, coached rugby, ran the leadership program, seemed like a great person to me and my peers.
His leadership class had just embarked on a two week mission trip to Guatemala when some former female students of his accused him of inappropriate conduct; he had s*x with one of their friends the day after she finished his class the previous semester, and she was underage at the time.
Well, none of this news made its way to the mission trip students, but somehow he was tipped off about the reckoning that was waiting for him back home. On their travel day back to Canada, he went on the bus with his students, went through security with them, then just… didn’t get on the plane. His students arrived home with no teacher, and he hasn’t been seen since.
Heard through the grapevine that he crossed into Belize and has been living under the radar under a new name. Pretty safe to say the accusations are true at this point. Still makes me sick that I looked up to the guy at one point in my life.

One of my best friends had this absolute a*****e of a step-dad. Made him do every chore under the sun on their pig farm every morning before school, and til after dark after school. Verbally and physically a****d him and his mother relentlessly as well. I stayed at his place over a weekend once and saw a lot of s**t that shocked me, even though my mate said "he's taking it easy because you're here".
Anyway one day the cops showed up on my family's doorstep and asked to have a chat with me. It turns out my mate must have finally snapped, he shot his step-dad in the neck with a .22 rifle, narrowly missing his jugular. I and a few other friends had to testify in court. He ended up going to juvie then jail for about 8 years.

Redneck junior shot the senior running back on the football team twice in the chest over $90 of w**d. Buried him alive. Body wasn't found for a week.
School was shut down for a week out of fear of riots/fights - which was blown out of proportion.
Shooter was tried as an adult and sentenced to 30 years.

I was for about three days. Long story short, I (ugly dude, 4.5/10) had been friends with a very popular girl (8 at minimum, 10 adjusted for the region) since we were in second grade. In Elementary School we'd go to each other's houses but things became more "normalized" when middle school started. But we still talked all the time because she was very sister-like to me. To this day (we're 40) I still call her mother "Mom" when I run into her.
Middle of Senior year, her dopey a*s dope of a boyfriend was so obviously flirting with the cute sophomore girl that it was undeniable. Turns out, when my friend rejected her boyfriend's request for s*x (she was a virgin because she didn't want to risk pregnancy), he called this sophomore girl and she sucked his soul in the school parking lot the next morning before school. Friend comes around the corner, s**t goes down. My actual sister and I are walking into school when it pops off, so we go check on her.
After a few minutes, Friend asks if I'll take her home. I call my mom, she wants to know why my sister hasn't beaten tf outta the soul sucker yet and says she'll excuse me. Like I said, my friend was almost family. We go to her house, I explain things to her parents because my friend is inconsolable. I go back to school and go about my day.
Next day, my buddy f*****g high fives me. Odd, because he's usually pissed off he has to be at school. Apparently, in the 25 minutes I wasn't at school, the rumor started that this smokeshow girl got her heart broken by her d*****s tool of a boyfriend so she dragged her dorky, race car loving dweeb guy friend home and let him hit it raw. About 3rd hour, perplexed, we ran into each other. We talked about it for 30 seconds. Neither of us started the rumor (although I appreciate the honor of even being considered for such a rumor), but we decided to lean into it for the rest of the day and the next day. Hand holding in the hallways, little kisses on the cheeks, snuggling our faces. We made a scene of it and it was absolutely the talk of the school.
Eventually, she told a friend that it didn't happen and I was just being a gentleman by taking her home. But it ruined Dopey the Tool, plus sophomore girl ditched him kinda immediately, so she and I decided to keep leaning into it. She called the house and told me. Returned to normal life by Friday. On Monday a junior girl was pregnant with a college boy's baby and we were off the hook. Good times.

I was. I used the school's payphone to make "you kicked my dog" prank calls to so many people that the cops got involved and the school had to move the phone to right in front of the main office.
And some pregnancies. But they're basically standard.

It was in the 70s, a couple were dating. Just before his graduation he was driving back to school with a friend from vocational school and had a wreck just on the edge of our small, rural community where the school was less than half a mile away.
The driver was k****d, his Fiat was torn into two pieces. All of us on the vocational school bus passed by and saw the car when coming back to the HS.
Turns out at the start of the next school year, his girlfriend who was younger and had not graduated was pregnant and had a son.
She was one of the prettiest and friendliest girls in school that everybody would have liked to date. Because it was small town in the Bible Belt, and in the 70s, she never outlived the reputation that was projected on her- she ended up marrying and divorcing a small time hustler who died young too.

Police came to pick up like 10 kids from a 5th grade class because they had massive stashes of d***s in their lockers. They were dealing for the entire neighborhood. The police even found guns in some kids lockers, and it was one kid threatening another with it that triggered the entire raid.
Yes, I did not go to school in a particularly nice area.

AIDS, without giving too many details. Some d*******g who has AIDS who was loaded with money started sleeping with highschool girls in my city. Infected multiple girls from different schools. This happened in the 90s. So on top of spreading AIDS he was a p**o too. 3 girls from my school got AIDS because of him. He also went around bars and slept with random women.

Graduated in 92...so genx, two that i remember and one was a girl disappearing because she got pregnant and the other was the first person have a nose piercing. She came into the new year after summer break with a diamond stud in her nose and it was a big deal among parents and teachers..
Oh music. When 2 live crew came out and people were caught playing that at school, that was a thing.
Probably pretty boring compare to modern high-school. So thankful we didn't have cell phones or social media.
