High school can either be the best or the worst part of your life, and I think it all depends on your luck. Unfortunately, sick hierarchies exist, what with the “cool” and the “uncool” kids, and they determine whether you get to enjoy your days or sulk them away.
Sometimes, though, the tables can turn even on the cool kids, and these stories are living proof. Netizens shared how the popular one in their schools became an absolute outcast, and some of them are just shocking. Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and see what we mean!

Not really outcasted, but a girl at my high school got cancer. I'm not sure exactly what type. I think it was on her lung but I remember her talking about how it was pressing against her spine and that caused pain or motor problems or something like that. A lot of people started avoiding her after word got out. It wasn't really that they were trying to be cruel or didn't feel bad for her. It was more that it was an awkward social situation they had no experience with and it was much easier to evade than to confront head on. None of her close friends did this, fortunately, but lots of casual acquaintance-grade friends. I was an acquaintance-grade friend, but I was good friends with her best friend, so we still hung out some. That's not to say anything good about me. I'm actually super avoidant of difficult situations and totally understood why people were avoiding her. I've just never felt all that uncomfortable around people with terminal illnesses for some reason.

Guy got caught with a bunch of h****n in the trunk of his car, on school grounds and was over 18 as a senior. Never saw or heard about him after that, but I'm guessing it didn't go well for him.

D***s. You're the cool kid in 9th grade if you're smoking w**d all the time. You're not the cool kid in 12th grade if you're addicted to h****n.

Semi popular, kinda “preppy” kid. Tried to k**l his parents by pouring vodka around their bed at night and setting it on fire because they took his CDs away.

Graduated high school.
He turned into that 30 year old dude that still hasn't gotten over high school.

Got an 8th grade girl pregnant while he was a junior in high school. He eventually transferred out because everyone hated him so much.

Got hit by a train. Everyone cared about him until he got out of the hospital and wasn’t the same mentally (from head trauma). All the other popular kids mock him and have him blocked on social media to this day.

Graduated.
Turns out, some learn the hard way that adulthood is not the same as high school.

Uh, well, everyone else grew up.
He didn't, and doesn't seem to want to. Now it's everyone else's fault 10 years later.

He spilled some of the soapy water stuff from the bucket that holds the mop onto the floor, and the chill teacher that didn't care about whether you played games in class or not tripped and fractured/broke his right arm.
