Did your school have any horror stories?

I remember their was a rumor in middle school that someone had died in our school and I used to kinda laugh it off as bs until our gym teacher got real melancholy and admitted it was actually true. A guess a kid back in the 80s I think was crushed by a falling stage prop in the gym, from what I understand.

One school, the horror story was the schools lack of control of us kids.

A possible bully (though he claims he was the one being bullied and maybe they were both being bullied), was invovled in a fight and was stabbed right next to the heart and almost died.

A girl got hazed by her sports team... rumor is she had things stuck in her. Sounds like it might of been a short term tradition...

Another girl, a minor (16 or 17) girl purposely hooked up naked with another female minor student, possibly while drinking with some young adult guy... he took pictures and shared and went all over the school... and cops got called in, threatened everyone if they get caught sharing or even receiving it. But the adult got arrested.

The fact that they said you would get in trouble for receiving the nude photos is a bit much. How are you supposed to control what is sent to you by phone, unless you blocked everyone you knew from school in your contacts or on social media. @Viper

@Thebestof1995 oh yes, that was a bit of overkill, though, in the police/school's defense, I believe they were just trying scare tactics so that everyone deleted the photos, to spare the girl any more embassesment or hassressment, and suggesting if you were caught with the photos not-deleted on your phone, you could be charged with minor-porn.

====================

That school principal seemed to try scare tactics, though they rarely worked.... the ones above worked more than usual because of the police and because they were actually charging some people with more serious crimes

=============

Other times where the principal attempted to use scare tactics were quite stupid.

Where she's attempted to get information, but I think she shut people up, by upsetting us, when we gladly would of given as much information we had on the subject (teacher getting a spitball) before the stupid scare tactics.

And cancelling all non-sporting events, after failing to be able to legally suspend two girls that were drinking before a dance and refused breathalyzers which lasted months, but she finally gave in so that Senors could have a couple end of year events.

I think they made the students and parents sign some documents saying if they don't submit to a breathalyzer then the school can assume guilt or something.
