High School Horror Stories
High school can be a horror story. Students know it, teachers know it, and these distressed Redditors definitely know it.
1. Driven Together
The school bus driver started receiving a bunch of anonymous letters accusing her of having an affair with the superintendent. Then they started sending them to her husband. But that wasn't the worst part. Her husband got a phone call that was so bad, he ran out, got into his truck, and peeled off.
He ended up getting into an accident and didn’t make it. The bus driver completely denied she was having an affair.
After her husband passed, she got together with the superintendent but swore up and down that the relationship started after her husband passed. Too coincidental.
2. Create A Diversion!
Our prom turned into a huge debacle. One girl took a pregnancy test at the dance and was confirmed pregnant. She then screamed at her sister for telling everyone and they got into a huge cat fight on the dance floor—but that's just the beginning of the insanity.
During the fight, one of the tweakers goes through everyone's purses and jackets and steals credit cards and phones, flushing the SIM cards down the toilet.
No one would've noticed if he hadn't stopped right outside the door and lit up on school property. The principal called the authorities on him and they searched him.
The dance ended early with a lot of angry parents and one pregnant girl.
3. Penalty Kick
Over Christmas break junior year (it may have been senior year, I forget), one of the star members of the football team disappeared. Nobody knew what had happened—but we eventually learned the chilling truth. Turns out, he'd snapped and taken his father's life.
His father turned out to be a Class-A jerk who resented his wife for getting pregnant when they were dating.
The father was apparently a huge high school football star and was set to go on and play college ball until his girlfriend got pregnant and he was forced to marry her.
He tried to live out his athletic dreams with his kids, especially his oldest son, and treated his kids like garbage. He had recently forced the oldest son to break up with his girlfriend because she was a “distraction".
Nobody blamed the son for what he did...he had been tormented mentally and physically for years and just…snapped.
4. High School Musical
There were rumors about a music teacher and a student, but they were both pretty dramatic people and did very little to dismiss the talk.
So, half the school wanted to believe it for the salacious thrill and half just waved it off as attention-seeking gossip. Later on, the teacher was let go without explanation, but most of us thought it was just budget-related.
Years later, I randomly caught up with the student and she said the rumors were true. But the details made my jaw drop. She had freaked out and tried to end things in hopes of shaking off her reputation. Eventually, the teacher showed up trashed, in his birthday suit, on her family's front lawn, in the rain, yelling for her.
It was like a messed up version of John Cusack in Say Anything, minus the boombox.
