high school

We all have that one teacher we will never forget. It might be because they were so skilled at teaching, or they were so inspiring as a person, or maybe they were literally insane and there's no way in hell you can erase the things they said from your poor memory. Whatever the case may be, it's always interesting to reminiscence on teacher stories from our childhood. Who knows, this listicle might bring up a few uncovered memories, hopefully, they're positive one.

Unfortunately, bullies and high school come hand in hand. Kids can be mean, but as we all know, those who bully others are only hiding their own pain inside. Although that doesn't make it easier at the time, what might help, years later, is knowing that your bully got some comeuppance in adulthood. For those who were lucky enough to sail through high school without being picked on, good for you! But for those of you who did get bullied, it might be worth finding out what adulthood has in store for them. Because these people are Tweeting what their bullies do now, and by the sound of things, karma has a way of making everything turn out just the way it should.

High school sweethearts are the cutest thing. They've seen each other develop over the years, and they've grown together as a couple. A Redditor started a thread asking the spouses of Reddit who married the kids who were cool back in high school how they stayed the same or changed over the years, and the responses ranged from super wholesome to kinda depressing. Scroll down to see what the prom kings and queens of the world are up to now. 

Teens are always up to all types of shady sh*t, but all of us were once teens. While teenhood may still seem distant, we still have fond memories of all the good, the bad, and the ugly of our teenage years. We recently uncovered a 6-year-old Reddit thread about the craziest things people did as teens, and I don't think I can keep up with all these cool albeit stupid kids. Personally, my high school experience was nerdy, peaceful, and quiet. Scroll down for the peak of teenage stupidity. 

High school is probably the last time in your life where you have no responsibilities (other than not disappointing your parents with bad grades, of course). So it's only natural that you would want to end such an auspicious era with a bang, especially in your yearbook. These high schoolers know what's up when it comes to making a great lasting impression and their yearbook quotes are some of the funniest, wittiest, and snarkiest we've seen. 

When you hear "high school movie," what pops into your head? Mean Girls, right? What's that? The Breakfast Club? Booksmart? Shhh, no, it's Mean Girls. Mean Girls pops into your head. Stop disagreeing with me, there's only one right answer here! Anyway, have you thought about how much more savage the Plastics would be with modern social media at their disposal? Like, Tinder, for example. In a way, Tinder is just a digital Burn Book where everyone writes their own pages, right? Don't you think? I said stop disagreeing with me!! Well...here's what the characters' Tinders would look like, just read them and you'll see what I mean.

There are so many movies and shows about American high schools. They seem extremely cheesy on the TV, but what a lot of non-Americans might not realize is how much of it is kind of accurate. Yes, we do say the pledge every day. We do have hall monitors. We also have cheerleaders and school presidents.

It already feels like I am writing the plot of a new TV show because that is just how ridiculous some of our norms seem.

Everyone remembers their sex-ed in school. Or, in some people's cases, their lack thereof. Whether it consisted of your PE teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a banana or your biology teacher told you that sexual contact of any kind was a sin that you'll burn in hell for, I'm betting it was pretty uncomfortable. These real, sex-ed horror stories from students and teachers show how painfully awkward the topic is and how badly schools can f*ck it up when it comes to teaching teir students about such an important topic.

The trends are constantly changing and, whether we like to admit it or not, it is the youths who decide what is in and what is out. In middle and high school you can see the trends directly manifested into friend groups, and it is only natural that those groups are ever-changing. Some cliques remain forever, like stoners and nerds, but many other styles, like emo, scene, and punk can only be found in 90's coming-of-age movies or in expensive 'vintage' shops residing in gentrified neighborhoods. Only those who have the budget have the power to revive them.

If you're also curious about what trends divide the youths today this Reddit thread has got you covered.

High school is all fun and games until a scandal tears the place apart. And let's be honest, what is life without a bit of drama? It keeps things interesting and makes for great stories! TV writer and producer Alison Bennet asked people for the biggest scandals that took place in their high school, and the answers are totally, hilariously brilliant. Scroll through for some of the best!

It might be hard to remember what going to school is even like given the current situation, but cast your minds back if you can. High school and college may both be educational institutions, but in reality, they couldn't be more different. Whether it's the way you communicate with your teachers, or the attitude students have in class, these hilarious tweets demonstrate the stark difference between high school and college and how the former can never prepare you for the latter.

"Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me"!
