High schools are a breeding ground for rumors, and that's not really surprising. Think about it: by the time high school students reach their senior year, plenty of them have been going to school together for 12 years. That's plenty of time for people to learn about each other, develop rivalries, resentments, ever-changing social scenes, and create a weird little ecosystem that — like it or not — follows them for the rest of their lives. You sure remember weird rumors from your high school days, but did you find out later on that any of them turned out to be true?
Redditor u/Sam_21000 took to the popular community r/AskReddit to ask that people share stories of the wildest rumors they heard back in high school that turned out to be true stories. From students getting pregnant multiple times way too young to gym teachers who allegedly broke a pool diving board every year (it was one time), these stories will likely remind you a little bit of your high school years. Hopefully not too much, though: some of these are pretty messed up. Best years of our lives… pshhh.
