As an adult, it’s easy to forget just how all-encompassing school can feel like when you’re young and made to go there five times a week. So when something goes absolutely wrong, people tend to notice and remember.
Someone asked “What’s the most [messed] up thing that happened at your school?” and people shared their stories. So get comfortable as you read through some rather uncomfortable tales, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own examples to the comments section down below.

One of our English teachers son was a defensive lineman for our high-school football team. During a practice I guess he took a really hard hit and collapsed on the field. I was staying after last bell for some major project and I will never forget seeing the ambulance and the english teacher pounding on the back of the doors screaming "Let me see my son" over and over. Kid died at the hospital and really hit everyone so hard. The teacher didn't return until the next year.

At school? A teacher was fired for kissing a student...

...and we found out years later that the actual story was the student (a 15 year old rugby player build like a house) had followed the teacher (a 5 foot woman in her mid 20s) into a supply closet and forced himself on her, but she still had to be banned from teaching for life because noone was EVER expecting that kind of situation when laws were written.

Someone found a baby in a garbage can in the girls bathroom. It was quickly discovered which student the child belonged to because she needed medical attention. No one even knew she was pregnant.

The baby lived and was sent to foster care. The girl never came back to school but as you can imagine everyone said a lot of hateful things about her.

Later it came out that the girl was being a****d by her own father and the baby was his. She hid the pregnancy because she was afraid of what her father would do if he found out she was carrying his child.

I hope she’s doing well.

My senior year. A m****r-s*****e occurred after school when a guy sh*t his ex-girlfriend and then himself after she dumped him.

The f****d up part was that the girl’s friends had found out that the ex-boyfriend had brought a g*n to campus and when they tried to warn one of the campus police officers, he just waved them off and accused them of being typical emotional girls.

Principal blew the head off a king brown snake with a s*****n in front of the entire primary school. 

Then they toured the snake’s headless body around each class in a plastic bag so we could hold it. 

Yes, Australia.

A group of girls at my school jumped a teacher outside the school gates and beat her up so badly she was in hospital for weeks. She was a lovely teacher so no idea why they targeted her, but they'd been harassing and threatening her in class for months leading up to the attack. The teacher never came back and ended up leaving the country.

In the late 90’s at school aged around 13, there was a goth girl in my class (let’s call her Emily). She was very shy, hadn’t long lost her mum to cancer. She was being picked on terribly by a particular lad and his g*ng. Her Dad would often be at the school about it, but it was relentless calling her names like ‘freak’ etc.. even shouting he was going to dig her mum up. It was awful. Emily had a bit of a break down in the toilets, but me and another girl persuaded her to go to the head teacher, we ended up being late for class as we walked her to the office. As we walked along, said lad was heading towards us. She started shouting at him, goading him over… she then st**bed him in the neck with a pair of nail scissors. It was crazy, the other girl and I had to give statements to the police. From what i remember he ended up having stitches and she was excluded from school. I often wonder how she ended up, hoping she was okay. She was a lovely girl, but was obviously and sadly, going through a dreadful time losing her mum and being bullied, which pushed her to the edge.

This happened several years before I even started high school, but a kid got exhausted one day in the pool during gym class, slipped under, and drowned. Nobody noticed him disappearing, and security cameras revealed that the teacher wasn't watching the kids and neglected to do a headcount.

To make matters worse, that was the last class before lunch, so he was down there for probably about 50 minutes before the next class found him, and by then it was way too late.

During the investigation, the school district had the f*****g audacity to argue that it was somehow a s*****e, and not a horrible accident that never should have happened, had the teacher been more responsible.

And that gym teacher? He's still working at the high school. The only lasting consequence is that the freshmen no longer do a swim unit in gym. The lack of accountability is such a slap in the face to the parents, who have my deepest condolences, and I hope their son is resting in peace.

I went to a boarding school in New England that had students from all over the world. One of my dormmates, who was from India, was doing poorly in her studies, and her father was so angry he flew all the way to the school from India without warning, made her pack her bags immediately, and whisked her away within an hour. While he was throwing most of her belongings into the trash and she was wailing, he told her he was not only taking her back to India but marrying her off to what we later found out was a very unappealing middle-aged man.

During a lunch period while I was in high school, a special needs student choked to d***h. One real piece of s**t filmed it and posted it, making fun of this kid who died. Not only did the school have to deal with the grief of losing a fellow student, but SO many people saw it between those who were simply in the cafeteria when it happened and those who inadvertently saw the video online. It was so cruel and disrespectful.

Thankfully, the piece of s**t who filmed it got expelled and no one ever saw him again.

Three of four coaches were having s*x with junior and senior students for a prolonged period. One of the girls got pregnant from the baseball coach and finished senior year in shame at a school for “unwed mothers”. Took over a year to get the coaches fired. My principal (who I thought was awesome) ended up k*****g himself. Those were the days, boi.

A kid o***dosed on stolen prescriptions and froze to d***h in a small patch of woods right next to the school. she was missing for about a week before they found her body (it snowed a few feet over her body, which is probably why it took them so long to find her). it was really sad. nothing ever happened for it, none of the admins ever said anything, there was no effort to help kids with a**ictions at the school. it was just...really f*****g sad. she was 14 years old, and she was known for being a really kind and helpful person. i hope she's in a more peaceful place now.

One of my classmates collapsed on the front lawn of our school junior year and died from heart failure. Soon after, we lost two more (one s*****e, one accident). Senior year, we had a s*****e beginning of the year (super popular kid in my class). All of the d**ths were so close together that the CDC classified it as a s*****e bubble and sent investigators to our town. A neighboring high school in that same time frame had 5 s***ides, all of whom stepped onto train tracks crossing a nearby intersection.

When I was in 6th grade, our English teacher, her husband, and their two daughters, one in 2nd grade and one in my class, all died in a house fire. We lived in a secluded rural area in the south (US) where neighbors weren’t close by, so after they didn’t show up for school someone went to check on them. Their cars were there, but the house was gone, still smoldering.
The mom and both girls were found near the front door. They almost made it out..
supposedly the fire started from the furnace, but that was only a rumor at the time. I think about it often and wish there was a way for me to know what really happened.

Anyways, that’s my f****d up school story/trauma dump.
That has haunted me my entire life.

I had a partner in Psychology class for my final. 2-person presentation. she told me during one of our study sessions before the final that her younger sister hung herself in her bedroom closet. i was like "Wow i am so sorry". she said nothing back.

I get to class the day of our final and she doesnt show up. the teacher tells me outside of the classroom that my partner had passed away. he wouldnt tell me what happened. i was stunned.

I later found out from one of her friends that she also had hung herself in the same closet her little sister did the year before.

When I was in elementary school, one day they just wouldn't let us in. I just said, "Cool, no school today." But time passed, and when I was in middle school, my mom asked me, "Hey, remember that time they wouldn't let you into school? Well, it was because four b**s gang-r***d another boy during lunch time in a classroom. And the parents were simply trying to close the school because of what happened" I didn't believe her. How could 10- or 11-year-old boys do that? But I looked up the news in my country (Mexico), and it was true. The principal justifying it as "just kids playing." And if you're wondering, that school is still open.
