Couldn’t Pay Me To Go Back: Absolutely Wild Stories Of High School Drama
From getting back at the cool kids to embarrassing ourselves in front of the school hottie, we all have wild memories from high school—but we can guarantee that they’re not as crazy as these.
Redditors shared their most extreme high school moments and boy oh boy, they prove that no matter whether you were a jock, a weirdo, or a cheerleader, nothing compares to high school drama.
1. Age Is Just a Number
Two new students who happened to be fraternal twins arrived at our school when they were both 15 years old. One looked older than the other, but that just happens sometimes.
Then one day, a rumor began to spread that they were not actually twins, but just ordinary sisters. As far as rumors go, it wasn’t so scandalous—but then, a few weeks later, the chilling truth came out.
The school looked into it and it turns out, one of the sisters was actually 22 years old. The parents had lied about her age to get her into the school, which they had needed to do in order to be allowed to stay in the country. Whoops!
2. A Poet Who Didn’t Know It
I wrote a paper, got an A, then forgot about it. Later, a teacher congratulated me for getting my work published in a magazine. I was so confused, but then I realized what was happening—and my blood ran cold.
My paper had indeed gotten published in a magazine…under my teacher’s name. She straight up stole my work and got paid for it.
I wanted to punch her in the face—but the school’s humiliating punishment was better than any revenge I could have asked for.
She was forced to write me an apology letter and read it in front of the class. It was a truly beautiful moment.
3. High School...Love?
This guy from my high school sought out rumors about who was crushing on me. He would then approach them and ask them to please let him have a chance and to not ask me out—but that wasn’t even the weirdest part.
I barely even knew this guy, and didn't even really talk to him much to begin with. I didn't even know his last name! Our whole relationship was literally just saying hi to each other during calculus class every morning.
4. Joy Ride Gone Wrong
This awful popular girl "removed" people she hated from school. But her worst act was so disturbing, it’s impossible to forget. One day, she convinced this freshman that they should film a fun prank-style video for YouTube.
He was supposed to do a "Ghost riding the whip" thing where he was on the roof of the car while no one appeared to be at the wheel.
She was driving it, and while the kid was surfing on the roof, she accelerated as fast as she could down the street, just to be mean. Meanwhile, the kid tumbled off...and fell into a coma. All she said was, "It was his fault.
I mean, it was his idea after all!"
