School days can be the worst days.

Unfortunately, their experiences were very shocking, disturbing, and scarring.

c’mon proceed with caution.

Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Nicola Coughlan in "Derry Girls"

I went to stick up for my friend and tried to pull the VP off my friend.

He turned around to me and attempted to restrain me in a nelson hold.

I slipped to the floor out of the hold.

Tyler James Williams on "Abbott Elementary"

While he stood over me, he raised his foot to stomp me!

I looked up and saw an open locker, and I kicked it hard into his face.

I guess it broke his nose.

Coach Carr and Trang Pak from "Mean Girls" (2004)

Serves him right for abusing kids years ago."

They ended up in a fistfight in the parking lot during homeroom.

All the kids in that room just watched and cheered them on.

The principal found out, suspended them both, and ended up calling their husbands!"

Hed already gotten into art school on a scholarship and was a great artist.

He was 18 when his parents kicked him out.

They were making all kinds of claims and threatening to come to the school to have him drug tested.

But he was 18, so they literally had no power over him anymore.”

“We all started a petition to ‘let [X] graduate.’

No thanks to his absolutely shitty parents.”

This high school was also the number one state in teenage pregnancy.

They tried to cover up everything by giving most of the students in my school high test scores.

Students all knew differently.

Drugs, automatic weapons, and even explosives in kids' lockers were the norm."

“A teacher who identified as LGBTQ+ was fired and ended up getting a big settlement because of discrimination.

The treatment of LGBTQ+ students was also extremely poor.

It wasn’t generally something you got bullied for by students, but instead by the staff.”

“In my Catholic high school, we had a set of twin boys.

They were developmentally delayed, REALLY tall and big, and the older one had severe behavioral issues.

Their school district paid my school to take them.

They both got expelled after threatening to shoot the entire choir, including the choir director.

“Im originally from Scotland, and I moved to the US when I was nine years old.

I went into 3rd grade at this small private school.

I have learning disabilities, and on top of that, I was experiencing really bad depression and homesickness.

I literally cried at school for WEEKS just because of how sad I was.

One day, I forgot my time tracker at school, so I couldnt do my math homework.

Meanwhile, my homeroom teacher sat there and did nothing.

The yelling continued for at least 10 minutes.

She did an immediate u-turn back to the school and got the teacher fired.”

She thought it was me (it wasnt) and sent me to the principal’s office.

When I got to the principals office the superintendent was also there (I think they were friends).

The superintendent was ranting about being sick of ‘you bastard kids.’

He picked me up by my shirt and threw me into a filing cabinet.

I was biting my lip and trying not to cry.

He threatened to beat the shit out of me if I ever told anyone, so I didnt.

“I always loved school before that, but then had a ‘fuck it’ attitude after that.

School sucks sometimes .”

“I’m a Canadian high school student.

Kids who were vaping behind the school always saw them together.

The moment the student graduated, he and the student started publicly dating.

I’m pretty sure he left his job before that because he knew what would follow.”
