an incident happened at a football game and I was in the hospital then suspended and when I came back to school in the middle of taking a test I was pulled out of class and the school cop was like “so I have to arrest you, we have to drive down to the station” and when he drove me back to school he said “your mom said I can just give you a ride home“ so I had to sit in the passenger seat of the cop car and get driven past the entire student body cause they were all outside leaving , at least 3x a year until I was a few years out of high school I would meet a new person (adults/parents included) and after saying my name they would say “are you the girl who…..” and I’d have to be like. yeah.

my freshman year of high school i went to a new school and i didnt know how to do school well bc i have learning disabilities. it was an academically rigorous traditional school and i forgot to do my homework bc i was bad at planning ahead and like generally keeping track of things. anyway like the first week of this new school i get to class and got called on about the homework and i had to say in front of the class that i forgot. this teacher was known to be an odd ball/old school and he yelled at me and sent me out of class and asked me and told me only to return when i was prepared and ready to learn. needless to say i was stunned and packed up my stuff and ran out crying. i mean i was literally like 14. this then became the folklore everyone told new students about this teacher and it got passed down but no one realized it was me and when i became like a senior i would tell freshman and they were like that was you?!?! anyway this teacher years later got clocked for sexual misconduct and buying kids alcohol lol

And the vice principal paraded me through the campus while loudly berating me and then measured the hemline of my dress as compared to my knee by placing a dollar bill against my thigh. I called my mom crying and she got an article published in the local paper about it with a picture of the outfit I was wearing and ‘slut shaming’ in the title, exposing their common practice of humiliating girls. I said in the article that a dollar bill is not a measuring implement and that having one placed on my body against my will made me feel like I was being treated like a stripper. The PR nightmare made them stop. A male teacher with questionable intentions who I later smoked weed with at a party praised me in front of our film class for ‘fighting the man.’ Everyone clapped. We attended a lot of mediation meetings and they were so afraid that we were going to sue that i was able to leverage it to graduate despite being on the precipice of being held back due to failing my classes from not doing work 😎 I still can’t do math to this day

After growing up in the LBC (would have attended a 4000-person / 3 grade high school) I ended up going to high school in a little rural/farming community in Oregon that didn't even have 4000 people living in it. It's a long story re: how I got there. It was a little bit like "Footloose" in this town. Kids made their own fun, there wasn't a helluva lot going on there. A lot of students took Shop class and hung out in that (grimy) building. Senior year, someone had their little import car (Honda, I think?) partially disassembled and then reassembled INSIDE the building. I think it happened over a weekend and we showed up on Monday and.... there was a Honda parked in senior hall. Our graduating class had maybe 150 kids so everyone knew whose it was. I think they ended up having to tear the doors off the hinges in a few different hallways to get it back out again. We all got a lecture at some senior night thing or another about respecting school and each other's property, with the idea being that if someone would just come forward and admit it, there would be less trouble. I don't remember anyone snitching or actually getting in trouble. The car belonged to someone on rally and I have no idea how they didn't figure out it was missing or if they were in on it somehow. There were some great photos floating around, all pre-smartphone era. Pure small-town dumbassery. Someone there has probably dined out on this story for decades now.
