11+ People Share Silly & Stupid Stories of Getting in Trouble at School
Getting in trouble is usually a normal part of growing up. Sometimes kids get in trouble for mouthing off in school. Calling a teacher fat, pulling a prank in class, or simply distracting everyone else until whoever's in charge absolutely loses it. Sometimes, kids get in trouble for their actions at home. This is more common with strict families, like my own. When I was in high school my mother wouldn't allow me a key, or to see friends after school. It led to me sneaking out at night, and when she found out, the social life I had cobbled together with my scraps of freedom all but disappeared. Today, however, we're focusing on the former situation, thanks to a tweet from Kate Tuttle, aka @katekilla.
Following a conversation with her teenage kid, she asked her followers (and whomever else) to share stories of the worst things they had gotten in trouble for in school. As one can imagine, while some of the situations were warranted (hey, spiking the punch at school is understandably punishable), other reprimands range from simply unfair to utterly ridiculous. If you can relate, sound off with your own stories in the comments.

This punishment actually seems appropriate.
Three days in a windowless room would probably bore me straight instead of scaring me straight.

Damn, girl.
Sounds like Kate was an avid reader.

Nobody likes a narc.
As a kid who grew up in a very liberal part of New York City, Twitter user @BabsVan's tale of the narc art teacher stunned me. Nearly half my class would stay seated for the pledge - many of the teachers, too. A great reminder that we live in bubbles.

When he removed the clanger from the principal's bell - which essentially rendered her powerless against the rowdy lunch crowd - he landed himself in detention. He said it was worth it, and we'd definitely have to agree.

This seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to get in trouble for. It really does suck.

Principals don't like getting lectured by students. Especially when they know deep down that the student is right.

What's the concern here? That she'll spoil it for the rest of the kids??

Another kid falls victim to the pledge of allegiance. At least this principal was chill.

Didn't every kid have a pyromania phase? At least she wasn't grounded.

Love the epilogue for this one. Everyone has a rebellious phase. Even legislators.
