Today At My School Someone Lit Themselves On Fire.

[Ambi]

Nothing happened at my school on a regular basis. It's a Christian private school, but one of the "cheaper" ones, not exactly prestigious.

All I remember is drug scandals (just weed), petty theft incidents (ipods and lunches stolen from lockers), and a few guys getting into a fight over some stupid relationship drama and one of them being like "bawwwwww they hurt me D:" to his dad, and the school being on lockdown as the guy's family roamed around.

Fights make me angry and almost misanthropic.

I pity you. The 2 worst things that've happened at my school are someone jumping off the top of the jungle gym (weh have a tall jungle gym) and knocking himself out, and another time some kid managed to flush pants down the toilet and screw up the plumbing.
What you have there is serious man. I will nevr look at flushed pants the same again.
I go to a Catholic school (not a rich kid one or anything. Pretty normal) and there's not much bullying or anything.

That's pretty messed up ... kids with explosives and industrial solvents.

Makes you wonder about where the parents went wrong.... possibly by allowing children access to grenades and poorly monitored industrial solvents.

Nothing that scary happened in Australia, well in school anyway. Worst that happened in my school was a lot of broken car windows, my brother was caught with marijuana (not smoking) and I was hunted down by a group of teachers after scaring them all with an air horn on the last day.

Just recently, a few kids got caught smoking pot in a bathroom at my school

 

[Bang25]

Somebody once brought a LIVE MORTAR to school. Accidentally, though.
Also, there was some kind of inhaler smack habits going around, and a fight club that went on in the bathrooms.(Seriously!)

Also, several jackasses enjoyed covering their hand in Germ-X then lighting their hand on fire.

Well once I had a knife held to my throat in school....
Now I always bring my own knife to school.......

Today At My School Someone Lit Themselves On Fire.

A friend of mine who saw the event said that her class was interrupted by screaming that wouldn't stop, and they looked out into the hall and saw a student on fire with black smoke going everywhere.
She said that she saw his bones and skin melting and dripping on the floor.
They said it was a chemical fire, and it would have been impossible for it to have occurred accidentally.
The kid was taken to a burn center, and I heard he lost his arm and they don't know if he will live.

While the school was on lockdown for 2 hours, the cops found a kid that had a GRENADE, who was completely unrelated to the kid on fire.

No one at this school ever smiled again.

But for discussion value, what is a crazy/dangerous event to happen at your school?
Has anyone ever brought a FIREARM1 to school?

1I'm going to hell.

Well, I did see one kid when i was in school actually had his hair catch on fire as he was leaning over a beaker in science class...good ol' flammable hair spray. Thankfully a gal standing next to him slapped it out before his whole head lit up.
Another kid I knew brought a gun to school and during shop class he hopped up on a radiator (heater) in the class and caused the gun to discharge in his pocket. Idiot was smiling the whole time when the cops came to take him away...guess it was funny to nearly shoot himself.
Was in study hall another time, looked out the window and saw one kid knock down another, punch him a few times, then steal his starter jacket and nike shoes. Another time, cops surrounded the school b/c they got a tip that a gang fight was going to take place there..
Granted all this happened back when i was in high school during the mid 90's...much calmer in my day then today...ha

Lets see... At my school we did have police standing around for a few days when a bikey threat was called, they wanted to knife someone older brother and they didnt want them going after family members or some shit.

The only other thing i can think of was when some kids Enland rugby team Hat was stolen and was found burnt in the boys toilet, this was during the world cup where Australia had had a nasty loss. some people were very bitter about it XD

 

[RedDeadFred]

I lawled at the title.
Then I read the op and I was slightly horrified.

I don't know of anything like this from my university and the only bad thing like this I can think of from my high school would be when there was a bomb threat because someone had carved onto a bathroom stall: a package will go boom at 1pm. Given that this was discovered around 10 to 1, our school was immediately evacuated and I got to go home early.

Good day.

The highschool I graduated from had some interesting stuff happen. Once we had a diesel spill and students were getting sick and so they evacuated everyone for a while. Then, in my math class, someone left a punctured can of pepper spray in the trashcan. We all started coughing, the teacher thought it was a joke until the good kids (like me! Yay...) piped up. We finished our class in the lunchroom, it was kind of cool. The main thing I remember happening, although I swear more did, was once a teacher tried to kill a student by choking her.

At the school I had previously attended (my family moved alot) a kid once locked himself in the bathroom with a gun and a girl. We never did find out if it was a gun and a girl or just a gun, but we all had to wait in the gym for hours. There were also the occasional bomb threats.

Not in High School no, but that's mostly because I went to the smart kids High School where not being a complete idiot is a requirement for entry.

My college life however has been much more eventful in that the 1 semester I've been here I've experienced 2 separate lock-downs, one for a bomb threat, and another for a spotting of an armed gunman.

Thankfully though both of these threats were just fake calls made by regular idiots to get out of an exam they weren't prepared for, as opposed to being the results of the kind of complete idiots that would actually do that sort of thing.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Well being in England, whatever horrific events we have are only horrific in the sense that it would be horrific enough to make elderly ladies drop their scones into their china teacups in mild surprise and alarm.

Erm...a teacher got arrested and fired for beating the everloving shit out of a kid in the corridor (this was in fuckin primary school!)

That's all I can think of...

I went to a paranoid public high school freshman year and at one poin tthey evacuated the whole school because someone was caught smoking in the bathroom.

This one time when I was living with my grandparents this lady was having a fight with her boy friend in front of her house and after about 2 hours of screaming she went into her house grabbed a thing of gasoline and set herself on fire on the sidewalk screaming, "This is what you did to me!" until she was just a lump of melted person on the sidewalk...<.<

Ouch... I'm glad I wasn't around (or have seen/experienced anything else of that sort). Witnessing that kind of thing would seriously have scarred me for life, and it would probably result in me being permanently paranoid about pursuing any form of relationship for the rest of my life... Gee, and I have enough problems as it is D:...

permanently paranoid about pursuing any form of relationship for the rest of my life...

Thanks for rubbing it in...<.<

Today, one of my friends tried to attend class despite a broken bone in his foot. When our Sports Med teacher told him he should go to a hospital, my friend took that to mean "when it becomes convenient", and I had to convince him to at least go lie down and stop walking.

Today in Chemistry 30, we had 3 spills of 2.0 M sulfuric acid - so strong it has a negative pH, about 40% as concentrated as battery acid. Shortly after cleaning up my own group's spill, I went and yelled at another group for not knowing how to neutralize an acid spill. A third group overheard this and said, "Oh, we're supposed to clean up acid spills?" I've had some coughing spasms tonight from the toxic fumes of today's lab.

That was the most dangerous thing to ever happen to me at Queen E. I'm glad I don't go to James Fowler High School. We used to make fun of the Fowler kids for going to such a shit hole. It stopped being funny when, in the same week, several students there were badly beaten and in an unrelated incident, a newborn baby was found in a dumpster just across the street.
