Share your memorable moments in your elementary and high school days!

[JaeDan 101]

I created this thread to share your funniest and memorable moments when you we're at school. I'll start

When I was in elementary, while I was performing a speech in front of class, I fart and I laughed so hard like I don't care, and then my teacher scored me zero.

How about you guys?

My first day in kindergarten I did nothing remarkable. I continued this trend for 13 years.

Some say I still am.

I remembered that I punched a random guy and a few days later it turns out he got a very big bruise! My teacher got mad at me and luckily I wasn't sent to the principal's office.

Year 7 (about 11 years old) school camp up in Midlands somewhere. 7 man canvas tarp tents. I was lucky that I was in a good group with some mates. On the second morning we wake up early for breakfast, go to the mess tent and notice Gary from our group is missing. We turned over our tent and he wasn’t hiding there.

After notifying the teachers the whole camp was sent to search for Gary as he was nowhere to be seen. The search continued for hours and delayed the day’s activities.

Around lunch time Gary wanders into the mess tent and sits down to eat, oblivious to the manhunt that had taken place all morning.

It turns out he had sleep-walked his way to the teachers cabin, found an empty bunk and settled in.

Getting bullied and pestered, does that count because that is what I remember the most.

In 4th grade I got in an argument with a friend about the RMS Titanic. We were looking at a picture of it and another picture of this huge modern container ship. He kept insisting that the Titanic IS the biggest ship ever and I tried to explain that it was at one point but the cargo ship we were looking at is probably much larger. So he took our disagreement to the teacher. My fourth grade teacher took her fingers and placed them at each end of the Titanic photo, then she lifted them and placed them on the photo of the cargo ship and decided in favor of my friend. I remember this vividly because it was my first memory of thinking an adult was stupid.

In year 8, my year took a trip to Paris (just before Y2K). Being late to buddy up for a room left me with the only person left, the highly flamboyant and camp Ryan the Queer. Great. I suppose I was, by default, a bit homophobic back then.

So the first evening at our hotel we return from dinner to find our clothes tossed all around the room and the TV on. Weird.

After the numerous returns to a messed up room we made complaints to the teachers who informed management who check the CCTV. Nobody had been in our room, not even the maids.

Now we’re freaking out about a haunted room and my friends are making it worse by saying they can feel things in our room, ghostly vibes.

I planned to kip in another room with my mate Dave but the teachers got wind of my plan and told me I couldn’t do that.

So two mates, Ryan the Queer and myself frantically think of ideas. Ah ha! A trip to Notre Dame was on the cards. We got ourselves some cheap crosses and had them blessed by the highest in the land. We actually burst out laughing mid way through the blessing and the bishop thought it was a mistake in his English so we had to explain why we were there to get crosses blessed.

That night I stayed up late watching tv and I was convinced I saw an apparition dissolve into the wall. No sleep for me then. I spent the whole night reciting the Lords Prayer and clutching my cross under the bed sheets.

As an adult I realise how silly this all sounds and I now believe neither in ghosts or religion. The trip left me with fond memories of Paris, especially proud of the porn and weaponry my friends and I had been able to smuggle home. But that hotel room experience left me shaken for quite some time.

When I was in 3rd grade, many girls like me. At lunch, I always hang out with girls. I think I was sitting with 3-4 girls.

In elementary school though, I had many girlfriends. I remember one day, when I was 6 or 7, I had to skip swimming classes and so did Ilse, my very first girlfriend. We were sitting next to each other and I was drawing a heart with her name and mine. She looked at the drawing and then at me and it was pure love.

Also during elementary school, I was waiting on the playground for my (next, other) girlfriend, Kathleen, I believe she was the daughter of the mayor, to show up at school. When she did she handed over a love letter. First thing I noticed was the smell of the letter. I think she must have drenched it in perfume.

My best middle and high school memories are of girlfriends. Also some of my worst.

I had some memorable moments... getting to play a guitar solo in front of the entire school, getting ambulanced to the hospital after a nasty fall (lots of blood), jamming with my buddies in our "band", and I vividly remember several car accidents. For one I was at the wheel (hit ice, went off the road). For another my buddy hydroplaned in a flash flood and rolled his car down a hill (I was in the car behind, watched the whole thing).

Weird times. Mostly when I remember something from back then I cringe.

I once stood up and said "sex" in front of the entire school in assembly. We'd been asked by the headteacher what the most important thing in the world is, and I was seven years old at the time and thought love and sex were synonyms. That evening the headteacher called mum to explain and I was given "the talk" a bit earlier in life than most children.

That's sweet, buddy. How about now? Do you got a girlfriend?

Nope. I've been single for a long time. Although I know there were/probably still are girls who were/are interested in me, for some strange reason (me) I never got the girl.

I was never much of a popular kid in elementary, and I was also really bad at expressing my interests. Thus, no one knew I was a car guy (Or rather, a car guy beyond the basics. You know, liking HotWheels, admiring Ferraris, etc.)

One week our computer technology teacher brought in his then brand-new PS3 and copy of GT5. As a kid who hadn't grown up with the latest and greatest, and had only recently purchased a copy of GT4, this was huge. The challenge was a straight up 1 on 1 race, winner does the next race, loser hands over to the next kid in line.

The race was Mazda RX-8's at Tsukuba Circuit, just one lap. Well, once I got ahold of the controller, I absolutely destroyed each and every kid there, only losing out when one of them blatantly rammed me off, which was kind of to be expected cos again, I wasn't really popular.

But it did make a lot of my peers realize I was actually serious about racing, so that was cool

My most memorable moments from high school often revolve around doing stupid stuff and wondering how I never got caught and/or arrested. I was definitely not chill in high school at all and our school's police officer had a talk with me more than once, especially when it came to doing stupid stuff in the parking lot. I had depression and anxiety rather bad but just chose to ignore it which didn't really help since it was coupled with your standard teenage hormone changes. It also made me pretty impressionable (more so than the average high schooler) so of course I started smoking and drinking. I really wish I'd never started smoking since still to this day I struggle with quitting.

Oh, and I had such a stupidly loud sound system in my truck at the time I would blast it every chance I got. We even used my truck when I was in AP physics for a sound experiment. It was pretty cool come to think of it and I remember the dorkiest kid in the class volunteered to sit in the truck while we did it. His ears were ringing for the entire day.

I wasn't popular by any means and had a really diverse group of friends. I never really fit with any one group and also dressed sort of odd too. I had a thing for shoes and would rock some of the most ridiculous things I could possibly find because why not? I don't know if anyone remembers Funkmaster Flex's Lugz shoes but I must have had 10 pairs of those. I also loved flannel shirts for some reason and there was a time I only wore those. Also, black t-shirts were my jam, but they're still my jam to this day.

I did have girlfriends, but I would often break up with them because I was more interested in something else and not doing whatever inane BS high school girls like to do (bowling mostly). I did have an on-again-off-again girlfriend throughout high school though who I'd start a relationship back up with because I was bored or needed a date. She was...interesting. What ultimately ended it for good was when she faked a pregnancy because I was spending too much time with my truck club. That was a fun week. After we broke up she tried stalking me too.

High school wasn't bad by any means, I just don't think I'd want to do it again. I rather like being an adult with money and being way more chill. There's no way some of the stuff I did in high school would fly nowadays with the world we live in.

You just reminded me of something. I had a weird connection with one of the absolute coolest people in the school. We ended up having the same car (VW Beetle), although his was about 100x cooler than mine (slammed, cool shifter, sound system). We could always connect over the car. I assumed he was a jerk to this day, but mostly because he was cool and I wasn't. But now that I think back on it... maybe he wasn't a jerk. I mean, he chatted with me, even invited me to a party at his place... I always kinda hated him out of jealousy, but it didn't occur to me until now (very middle age) to look back and think about whether he did anything terrible to me. Nope. And he probably get some sideways glances for chatting with me about cars and inviting me to his party. I think I was the jerk.

I must have been somewhat alright, I got along with a fair number of people.

My very first anxiety attack in the evening after seeing my very first mummified body of a Belgian priest when we were on a school trip. I couldn't get my eyes off of it. That evening my panic attack was about being afraid of dying and not wanting to die.
