What did you do in school that would be slam book worthy?
Or in general, what did you do that got you in trouble?
I may or may not have wrote something about teachers that landed me in the superintendents office facing 10 days out of school with little to no chance of return to public school. My principal liked me enough that he sided with me to stay. Still got all 10 out of school days though.
In 2nd grade I tripped my enemy and the teacher didn't believe her when she told on me.
The worst thing I plotted was to get my cartilage pierced with my friends when we went to London with school. But then 9/11 happened and it got post-poned 2 years, so the teachers didn't take us seriously. We didn't do it.
I DID however kiss boys starting in kindergarten (on the cheek until I was 10/11). I was a bit of a kiss-slut until, like, 19. My teachers did not like it.
Not really. But I was a nerdy enough, basically good kid, so I never really got in trouble. I'd cut class and say it was b/c of a music lesson. Like, all the time. And I made friends with the hall monitors, so they never really questioned me.
I think I cheated in French class. A lot. I couldn't be bothered to learn the conjugations.
Outside of school, I smoked drank and had a good amount of sexual contact with boys, but --again! -- never got caught.
I skipped school so much my freshman year (mostly approved by my mother), the county attorney was called and was going to recommend foster care, but my mother withdrew me from school and sent me to live somewhere else until the furor died down.
The next year, I went to boarding school and got so many demerits, I set a record. And I told the headmistress she was full of shit, which may have been why I wasn't asked back the next year.
Then there was the time I told my math teacher to go fuck herself.
Then there was the time I got smoking weed with the janitor in the boiler room.
The meanest thing I ever did was be part of a group of girls who completely isolated another girl and stopped being friends with her in middle school. I still feel awful about that. I wasn't the worst offender, but I definitely went along with the crowd and didn't stick by her.
I also skipped classes a lot and smoked on school grounds.

A select few of my friends and I would pour whiskey into 20oz Dr. Pepper bottles (like 1/3 to 1/2 whiskey, the rest soda) and get our buzz on in our AP classes. I'm sure this isn't a surprising confession.
I skipped a lot of school and was kicked out of 2 different high schools in my senior year. I was going through a lot of crazy shit at that time ( my mom kicked me out, had to live with my emotionally abusive, cheating ex at 17). Eventually I got my shit together, left his ass and made myself go back and finish school. I feel like that was one of the worst times of my life, and I would do anything to go back and change it.
I guess I should add; I wasn't an overly big trouble maker at school. I sort of did go along with everyone else but there are moments where I look back and just think "wtf was wrong with me?!"
I rarely showed up for school, which my Mother knew, since she's the one who let me stay home.
And I was terribly mean to the girl who lived down the street. I thought she was so awkward and weird. Turns out, she was being abused and looking for a friend in me and I was a dick to her through 12 years of school. (I didn't know until she contacted me last year about the abuse) I talk to her now and I just want to hug her and apologize for being such a jerk.
I got in a big fight with my future step sister in middle school. We were punching and kicking each other. We had a big crowd around us and a couple of teachers had to pull each other apart. I had never been in fight before and never really got in trouble for much other than being too talkative.
My stepsister on the other hand was always in trouble and always mean to people and had been suspended numerous times.
She was suspended for 5 days and I was suspended for one. On that day I was dropped off by my mother at the bus barn and then I had to wash the outside of about 5 buses all day long. I was pissed! But I never got in trouble like that again.

My BFF & I skipped school when I was in the 8th grade. The only other bad thing was walking out my Sr. year after watching a movie about death in sociology. My dad had just died 3 months before and I couldn't handle it. They let me off for that one given the circumstances.
Drank on a HS field trip, got caught, suspended for 3 days & had to go to rehab/intervention classes with my dad for 6-8 weeks. If not, then I would have gotten expelled.
Tmi alert: In college, i worked the 8p-12a (closing) shift a few days a week in the college library. I was dating the security guard ( he was my age). He had to stay 30minutes after closing to make sure everyone was out. We got busy many a night after closing

I will never forget this. I had a rough time in junior and high school, and these girls in my theater class told me that if I was meaner I would have more friends.
So I told one of them when she was kind of leaning back in the theater seats with her knees up that she looked like a cow waiting for something to happen.
I felt horrible that I said that and wound up apologizing.
This happened over 20 years ago and I still feel bad about it.
I wasn't much of a troublemaker. I once got into a big fight with one of my boyfriends (8th grade) and we both got detention. I don't remember what it was about. And in 9th grade, I skipped a class I hated so much I failed it. My mom was pissed, blamed my boyfriend at the time, and came to the school, breaking up with him for me in front of all my friends. I was mortified, but it's hilarious now!
I once jumped on a blown up juice box in the canteen. It exploded with such violence it sounded like a gunshot and silenced 250 students. I may have gotten a verbal talking to on that. But yeah, that's about it.

During my freshman year, I missed so many classes my geometry teacher (what is it with them) called my mom and said get her out of here or she's going to end up pregnant and on drugs. Which my mom promptly did.
Other than mediocre grades compared to ability, and a nasty mean streak for tepid teachers, I was pretty benign student.

I was bad in kindergarten. I flirted with the boys. I ran over and gave kisses when the teachers back was turned. I was disruptive in class. I threw things. I don't remember much of this. It's was all in my report card, lol.
I once tried to cheat on a spelling test in grade school and got caught.
That's about it. I was a pretty good kid.
Oh, wait. In sixth grade there was a race for class president and such. A friend and I started making posters for the students running to sell (for a quarter). A teacher found out and we got a lecture and was told to stop. There wasn't any disciplinary action.

I was a little bit of a bully in third grade. I also cheated on a spelling test and got caught.
In fourth grade I wrote a note that said "we're in hell with barney" referencing one of the teachers. He intercepted it and was so embarrassed he didn't even reprimand me. More awkward, my Mom was a teacher at the school and he was a friend of hers.
In high school I got in trouble for making out in the hallways, and then egged that guys house when he dumped me.

I was pretty much a goody-two-shoes until I got to college, but I was kind of mean in elementary school/middle school.
In fifth grade, we got a new girl in class that me and my friends decided was weird. She would ask to play with us at recess. We would tell her we were playing tag and she was it. Then we would run away and hide from her. Looking back now, it was clear that she was living in poverty and had a terrible, probably abusive home life. Our teacher got wind of our behavior, and sent the girl out for an "errand" one afternoon. She then started crying and gave us a speech about treating each other with kindness. She never singled out my group of friends, but we knew who she was talking to. I have never felt so bad
Along the same lines, my friends and I in middle school randomly decided that one of our other friends was "out of the group." I don't even remember why. We kicked her off of our lunch table and refused to talk/hang out with her. She transferred schools a few weeks later. I still feel terrible about that as well.
God I sound like an awful person. I swear I'm really nice now!
I had a rebel stage during my junior year and skipped a lot of class to hang out with my older bad-influencing boyfriend. My teachers were all surprised and disappointed because I was otherwise a really good student.

The only time I ever got caught was for smoking on campus after they had shut down the smoking lounge after my sophomore year. Yes, kids, smoking lounge, I am THAT old.
The Assistant Principal looked at me and was like, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" and then told me to go back to class.
Other than that, I never got caught.
My friend and I used to cut all the time and I've had sex all over my high school including during school hours. We never really got high on campus though.
I was never a big meanie to anyone really. There was some teasing of people who didn't deserve it but I was never the instigator.
In elementary school I was so good that me and my group of friends would write plays, practice them at recess and then put them on for our parents at someone's home. We called it Play Club. We had sets and everything.
