People Tweeting Their High School Horror Stories is Painfully Funny
Unbelievable and yet somehow, totally real.

In the weird hours after Christmas, we all need something to make us laugh. Luckily, a thread started by BuzzFeed reporter Katie Notopoulos on Twitter is the antidote for our souls today — and yes, it’s about high school drama.
For many of us, high school is a time we intentionally blur out. But there’s always one or two major “incidents” everyone remembers because at the time, they shook the school to its core.
“What was ‘the incident’ in your high school?” Notopoulos tweeted Monday. The tweet quickly garnered tons of replies, including one from this still-shaken reporter:
there were a lot but i think the number 1 incident was when a rival school vandalized our track the night before homecoming and spray painted "SMOK WEED" on it. not "smoke" -- "smok."

Other stories were much, much more absurd than “smok weed.” Honestly, this whole thread should be made into a book — a book of nightmares, but still:
This weird kid lit a piece of toast on fire and then put it on his couch and caused a huge fire in his home

We had a "poop bandit" that drew question marks on the bathroom walls... and we really did call him that which prob only emboldened him tbh

When life imitates art… or maybe the other way around?

WHAT THE HELL??
A father faked his son’s death for the life insurance money and the school had to put bumper stickers over the memorial page in the yearbook after we found out that he was still alive and just transferred to a different school.

It’d be a shame to leave this one out:
A few seniors stole the large wooden carving of our mascot as a prank. Turned out to be a very valuable piece of art so they panicked and buried it in a marsh. 😑

Ah, yes, drugs and sheetrock — a classic mix-up.
Someone left campus during study hall to buy cocaine but when an undercover cop arrested him, it turned out to be a bag full of sheetrock

Honestly, this is why we all repress our high school memories. While high school only lasts four years, the nightmares last forever!
At least now, we can all tweet about it.
