High school is a period of life that most of us have experienced at some point in the past, present, or future. And while it might be regarded as only an educational place, it would be rather a misconception. You see, high school also raises us in a social way.
There, we experience scenarios we can't really encounter in the "outside" world. Interestingly, often enough, those events stem from or result in some kind of drama, as teenagers are inherently dramatic. So, today, let's entertain ourselves by reading up on it, shall we?

Our valedictorian was apparently a jerk that thought hitting his girlfriends was an appropriate communication style.

At a boarding school now famous for covering up mistreatment: a very quiet girl was being preyed on by an employee 10 years her senior. When word got out, she was punished, not him. She got expelled, never got to finish her high school education, and is now married to the former employee, still.

I went to a private catholic high school. I have two stories.
1.It was an open secret that the principal, vice principal and Dean of the school had stolen money from a previous school they all worked at. It turns out they were given our new school as a shut up compromise because they knew soooo much about higher up priests that were molesting children. They were all arrested a few years after I graduated for doing the same thing- embezzling millions of dollars.
2. I married my high school sweetheart. His sister was in my grade. She was never interested in dating. She played the religious girl/theater tech role of being too busy to bother. The week after we graduated she moved out and cut contact with her family. It turns out she was being violated by the theater teacher for years. She moved into his house and acted like mommy to his children. 4 years later she broke free and moved back home. Still messed up.

Not long after I started teaching post-secondary, I had a young student in their 20s. They told me they had dropped out of highschool in grade 9, and as I got to know them better, I found out that they were in fact the sister of someone in my own grade, at my own highschool. Turns out the family was ruled with an iron fist, and the parents had kicked them out for a minor infraction (think, going to the movies when they'd been forbidden to do so). They were taken in by someone, and got a job working at our local stock exchange. They were bright and worked their way up a decent pay, doing responsible work. But they were back to school to catchup. They did well, despite not having the foundation, and I marveled over the fact that the sibling had never shown the slightest indication that so much family trauma and misery was going on. Cruel.

Heard rumours in grade 9 that a classmate was hooking up with another classmate’s mom, who had started volunteering in the library. The mom, daughter and boy all left the country shortly after, even though the boy had an entirely separate family?
We never heard anything else about them until our 10 year reunion when the mom and boy showed up married and told everyone they adopted a child.

We had not one, but two teachers that were dating 18 year old students during my senior year. The teachers' contracts were not renewed for the following school year, but because the students were 18 it wasn't technically illegal and didn't make the news. Me and my friends found out after we graduated because one of the teachers was a little too shameless and posted about it on Facebook lol.

That one of the school resource officers was a creep and would routinely hit on and solicit the girls. Didn't find out until about 10 years later on a random Facebook post where multiple of my former classmates talked about their encounters. And yes, a few did take him up on his offer.

We had a Chlamydia outbreak my freshman year of high school (more than 100 students is what I heard) and after I graduated, I found out that one girl gave it to about 10 guys and that's how it spread throughout the school. But to make it even worse, she was apparently spreading it by charging guys to hook up with her in the school bathrooms.
It was a huge drama at the time because we had security waiting outside the bathrooms and could only go in one at a time for the rest of that school year.
