Stupid **** you did when you were a teenager.

[Alan]

Never did my homework

Never did my homework

You rebel you.

Made too many bombs out of all sorts (thanks Anarchist's Cookbook!).
Accessed the staff server and changed attendance lists so that I could bunk sporting events that I wasn't taking part in
Broke into the camera control room to find out which cameras were offline and where the deadzones were.
Too much perving at two teacher in particular (the one almost always caught me)
Doing dodgy things with girls in the IT lab, the science lab, the sport storage rooms, the emergency care room, between the prefab classrooms, on the field embankments and many many other places
Broke into my old primary school and high school over weekends and during holidays to do parkour
Pratley steel quickset in 3 classroom locks, they had to break down the doors to replace them

There is too much stuff to try and remember now, the above were some highlights. I had a mostly reserved teenage life as the quiet nerdy guy.

 

[AlphaBravo]

Stole cartons of cigs (hidden in my school blazer) and sold 'loose' at school
Constantly peeping on my neighbourhood females
Break a couple of bones with skateboards
Lose lots of skin on bmx
try smoking cigs
Bunk school to watch movies

Watch mannemerak and steve hofmeyers ex-wife's kid show

typical teenage middleclass life...

 

[Mars]

I have done many things that include many bad haircuts, various drugs, a bit of vandalism, a couple of arrests, one brief non permanent expulsion and a fist fight with my dad.

The most fun was stealing a wheelchair from the school hall (I think they where using it in a production) and riding it up and down the corridors, down the stairs and eventually up and down the embankment between the rugby fields until 2 in the morning.
Then we put it back and left. It was pretty stuffed tho.

I was politely asked to leave a few schools in my time. I would just like to point out, if corporal punishment was legal when I was in school, none of this would have happened. I would also like to point out that I had undiagnosed mental issues at the time and wasn't receiving any treatment, I am a completely different person now.

Grade 8 -
* Lost my mind in woodwork class which ended with the teacher punching me, which resulted in my grabbing the nearest thing to me (a metal rasp) and beating him with it until he was out cold. Grabbed my bag and went and sat at the back of the hall for a smoke to calm down...For some reason I decided I needed to burn the place down...Sprayed deo along the bottom of all the stage curtains and set them aflame. Entire stage and roof burnt to nothing. Had to have assemblies outside for the next few months. When a friend finally ratted me out for quite a large reward I was politely asked to leave.

Grade 9 -
* Got ratted on for smoking at school. Was called to the principal's office and told to wait while he went and got the deputy principal because he needed a witness to search me. In the 2min he was out the room I was able to hide my box of smokes and lighter in his desk. Went back after school and asked for them back.

* Expelled from school boy hockey for losing my **** with a referee because she kept on blowing me for lifting. Because I was a goal keeper I was able to remove my helmet, start running towards her, throw the helmet at her (hitting her in the chest), continue running at her with only murder on my mind before two guys on my team tackled me to the ground and held me there. By this time people knew I had issues with my anger.

Grade 10 -
* Bio class had a class average of 14%. Teacher was ****ting us out for being useless. I asked him if he didn't think that maybe he was the problem. He got up in my face...After a few seconds of this I spat in his face. (Not proud of this at all. It's damn disgusting)

* Deputy principal says to me "You're mother raised you wrong Botha" To which I replied "You mother was a Barbarian whore"

* Allowed to play school boy hockey again. Expelled halfway thru the season for clothes-lining a guy from Selbourne that was just pissing me off.

Grade 11 -

* Got into 3 fist fights with the deputy principal.
* Allowed to play school boy hockey again. Permanently expelled from school boy hockey in the Eastern Cape for breaking a guys foot.

Grade 12 -

*Dropped out for 2 months
* Got called in front of the education board for answering this question "Why did Lady MacBeth call upon the darkness?" with "So her and her man could get freaky with the lights off, boom-chiky-wow-wow. And as Mister MacBeth's seed ploughs towards her uterus they will share a Big Mac from the MacDonald's just down the road. Tally-ho Banquo!" in my final English paper. I was amazingly high went I wrote that, luckily the education board decided I was just a dumb ass kid and didn't force me to do a rewrite.

Throughout this whole time I was smoking heavily, doing heavy drugs continuously and drinking occasionally. Got into way too many fights. A whole bunch of other small stuff happened, but nothing worth telling you about.

That was my school career....Out of school was even worse, but I'll let you digest this for now

WTF:wtf:

Oh do share iPirate.

And out of interest, how is life now?

Grade 6:

I was banished to the detention room for a day in my school for discussing our female maths teacher's sex life loudly with my classmates in front of her.

I ran downhill on a road only to have my shorts drop down to my ankles and fell down in front of my friends near a cricket park. Lost lots of skins on that ****ty day as a result.

 

[iPirate]

Life now is good. At the age of 19 I tried to commit suicide, which resulted in me being placed in Hunters Craig. It was the best thing that has ever happened to me, people finally figured out I actually have a serious problem and I wasn't just being a bad kid. I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and because it had been left untreated for so long had gotten to the point where I couldn't function at all in society. I'm on medication now and I will be for the rest of my life, but every single day I am grateful for the tablets that allow me to have a normal life.

I've made a success of my life, I'm a structural steel draughtsman, married and have a baby on the way.

I'm a shining beacon of truth that mental illness can be treated.

 

[STS]

My skeletons deserves to be locked up in the closet.

But yeah, in a way I have alternate personalities.

Most bad things that I have done happened at age 18-19 and yet again at 23. In my teenager years I made sure that I was the choirboy back at home… that’s what everyone think they knew. I still today have my streaks going… they say people change, they don’t, but it is manageable.

*brofist* i know dude, i feel you

[Compton_effect]

[Hobbs zn]

And welcome to the (pending) world of being a dad.

[googoodoll]

I let all the guys copy my homework
Until one day the principal found out and gave me the crapping out of my life and ended my badassery on the spot

That's about the worst thing I ever did
I did also drink too much and smoked on a few occasions but all youngens should do that to know how bad it is.

Got suspended from school on multiple occasions for experimenting with hair colors (i was a willing guinea pig).

Set fire to a science laboratory by using a shatterprufe ruler to launch a piece of some chemical that had to be kept in liquid (oil or water - i don't remember) on to the periodic table of elements on the wall behind the teacher's desk at the start of luck break.

Released a box of snails from their container in the biology lab at the end of the day - they were all over the walls & roof the following morning.

Got suspended (along with others) after the Sunday Tribune (durban) announced that a schoolboy had won a drag competition at the most notorious gay club in the country at the time. It was known as the best club in the country at the time, a number of us used to go (we were in std 9). The headmaster conducted a witch hunt to find out just how many of us were frequenting this den of iniquity and vice. On a side note, liberated his packet of Perillys cigarettes from his desk while his back was turned for later enjoyment - they were vile !!

Used to sneak out of the house while my parents were asleep and use their cars to visit my buddies (no licence). On one of these occasions I arrived back home to discover all the lights were on at home.
I immediately realized there was trouble in paradise. I wisely figured i would leave the car down the road and bring it back later. Got inside, father went berserk demanding to know where the car was. I feigned ignorance. SAPS were called. When they arrived and started filling out a car theft report, they got to the description of the car. Police said to my father, "Oh, Mr xx, there is an identical white mercedes parked about 4 houses away". An on loco inspection took place and reveled all. The car was neatly parked and locked, keys were found in my pocket - game was up !!

My father had a thing for cars, and had a number of them. Amongst them was his obsession, a 1964 red convertible e-type jaguar. I was permitted only to look an not touch. I was not even allowed to move it in and out of the garage when it was being washed. The folks went away for a weekend. A mate & I decided to take the thing for a good old drive (still no licence). Stoned out of our minds, we were cruising along Umhlanga Rocks Drive (i think that was it's name) near the Natal Shark Measures Board premises. It was a tricky road surrounded by sugar cane fields.
Stoned out of the trees & chatting away, i simply did not notice the bend in the road ahead and continued on a straight path - into the sugar cane field. It took 2 tow trucks to extract the car from the flattened & very slippery sugar cane field.
All manner of hell broke loose. Home life, by comparison, made Dante's Inferno seem like the Teddy Bears Picnic !
Father remained bent out of shape for the remainder of time !

Got arrested with a mate for stealing petrol. We had motorbikes in school - those little 50cc jobs. Our parents used to give us money for petrol. we spent it on weed.
So for petrol, we would conduct midnight raids of blocks of flats & siphon petrol out of cars. Japanese were our favorites, they had a petrol lid release button inside the car & no lock on the petrol cap. A bit of pressure to one side of the lid popped the thing wide open.
We were however eventually caught by a security guard. Police took us away, got locked up for the weekend.
We were sentenced to 6 lashes by the police (this was the 80s).
I was getting lashed so often at school for various reasons, so I took this in my stride.

Breaking point now reached, I was shipped off to boarding school

Family moved to Mauritius for a few years.
Every time I returned to SA after school holidays with the family over there, I would smuggle tons of porn back into the country for my friends.
You can only run across a road blindfolded so many times before you get hit by a car.
After multiple successful cross border operations, customs officials one day decided a search was in order. Luggage opened - tits & p***y as far as the eye could see !!
They confiscated my stash (probably for their own consumption) and let me flee the scene of the crime.


I could continue .. .. .. but i think you get the picture.

ROFL!
I snuck into the principals office during assembly and filled his desk drawers with roof sealant foam type stuff

I once threw a smoke bomb in the foyer and this one oke that picked up the smoke bomb to get rid of it got into trouble
