What was the craziest rumour at your school ?

[wriggleigglepiggle]

Ours was that the maths teacher left because he was Mr January in a porn mag, nicknamed 'Billy big balls'. Everyone knew of someone who knew someone who'd seen it.

What nonsense went round your school ?

There was a rumour that the only male teacher under 50 was having an affair with either one of the maths teachers or half the Upper Sixth.

One of the PE teachers was rumoured to have left her husband for a younger instructor on the activity trip she chaperoned. Think that one may have had some truth to it.

There was a fella a few years ahead of me who got the unfortunate nickname of banana man as he shoved a banana up his hole for a dare (allegedly)

There were so many from my two schools.
Our primary was built on top of a native American burial ground (in the middle of britain 🙄🤣)
High school: the biggest was that the whole school photo had a girl without knee caps who actually died and it was her ghost on the photo. It got so ridiculous that the photo had to be removed which added to it even more!

Others where that the biology teacher was in a relationship with am ex 6th former, that one girl who had lots of time off school had 3 abortions and that a girl threw herself down the stairs (the last sadly was true)

Oh! Edited to add and a boy had sex with his girlfriend but couldn't find a condom so sellotaped an empty cheese and onion crisp packet onto his willy.

just note I attended high school in london….😂
One of the girls supposedly gave one of the boys a blowjob in the science lab and got caught. Still to this day don’t know if it was true or not.

one of the girls in the year above me told everyone she was pregnant at 14 and had an abortion. We don’t know if she was lying or not but knowing her reputation it was probs true.

one rumour went around the whole year and the year above about me actually. When I was 15 I had a boyfriend whom I was in love with but we were best friends first. We broke up deciding mutually our friendship was more important. Anyway after we had broken up, we met and ‘ did’ stuff (not sex) one afternoon and when I messaged my other best friend after someone saw her phone but didn’t get the whole story and so a rumour start3d that I had slept with my boy best friend. All day at school I had people high giving me etc, didn’t know why… found out eventually and that my other close friend was the girl who lost her virginity, thankfully I stopped that in its tracks.

my DS school had a teacher who was a porn star on the side, this was a year before my son went but my sister was there. One student found him on porn hub and told the whole school, he got suspended, reinstated, as expect3d the kids wouldn’t leave him alone and he ended up having a heart attack. He’s still alive. Personally I didn’t see the problem as it’s no bearing on him as a teacher however everyone knows what high school is like, once they know you’ll never live it down.

Regarding daft rumours at primary school: One day, when I was only five or six, mysterious signs appeared outside the school, saying “Polling Station”. One of my friends explained to us all that they said, “Police Station” because one of our parents’ had murdered someone and the police were trying to find out which one did it. I just hoped it wasn’t one of my parents whodunnit!

Loving the talk of crisp packet/cling film/ice pop wrapper/mars bar wrapper as improvised prophylactics.

Its sounding like our whole teenage years were built on lies.

Not a rumour as such but my school mate told me the previous night that she'd fucked herself with a banana and was scared because she couldn't get it out. Turns out, she'd peeled it! One, I don't even know how I even knew not to peel one to do that at 13 and two, I definitely kept that to myself!
One rumour was that one of my male classmates was off school for a week because he had shoved his knob into a milk bottle to have a wank and got it stuck... Turns out that was true!!! I seem to have gone to school with perverts!!! 🤣

Earlier than the 1990s . I left school in the mid 80s and the pencil -nostril-desk myth was definitely in full force then!

I'm gutted none of these things were true.

Edit, not this one actually, but the less fatal ones I mean!

Yes, I remember that one!

True: the PE teacher, later the principal, was having an affair with the head girl from the age of 14. He later went to prison.

The drama teacher was sleeping with one of the Y11 boys. She didn’t go to prison and they remained together for 20 years.

One of the boys in yr9 got rushed to hospital with suspected appendicitis and actually had his appendix taken out before confessing that he’d put one of his mums sex toys up his butt and couldn’t get it out.

not true: the old headteacher was buried in the long jump sandpit and his spectral hand could be seen during a full moon.

That Marc Almond had to be hospitalised and had his stomach pumped because he’d swallowed so much jizz.

A couple who used an empty crisp packet for a condom while doing it in the park.

One kid was allegedly seen performing a sex act on his dog through the front window.

It was a very rough school.

There was a dirty old man in the village who used to tell us young kids tales of his time at school, one being that in junior school his then school friend (now an old man who lived nearby) was still on his mothers breast and she used to come to school at breaktime and he'd get his milk through the school railings.

The joys of living up in a backwater.

Blimey

Was this a school in north Essex by any chance?

True: the physics teacher and the head girl. Both politely asked to leave school. Pretty sure no charges made against him. She was made a scapegoat in our year group and got quite the skank reputation despite being probably groomed. Truly bonkers what was acceptable those days.

@endsnewyearsday no it can't be the same ones, it ended when she left school. He was already married but I imagine he went on to another 6th former!
She ended up marrying someone else after university.

another boy was called bubbles as he used hand soap to wank in the group shower on the school trip to France (this was actually true though, I was on the holiday but it became so much bigger than a teenage boy bashing his bishop).

Bubbles 🤣🤣🤣 the humour of kid's can be hilarious!!!!

We had a nun ghost on stairs at my school too! (not a convent school though). Funny how all these same rumours travelled the country in a time of no internet and social media (in the 80s).

That a pupil got pregnant using a carrier bag as a condom 😂

A boy in my year group got permanently excluded and the rumour was that it was because he'd shoved a mobile phone up his bum in the toilets.

To this day I don't know whether it's true or not but there wasn't any other obvious reason for him being kicked out 😲😂

Were they found, Frith?

Not my school but the same year group in the nearby very posh boys private school. Two boys were on a volunteering trip to somewhere in Africa and they snuck out of the hotel at night, got drunk and took two prostitutes back to the hotel with them. One of the ladies supposedly admitted afterwards that she was ‘sick’ and so needed more money and the two lads were terrified that they had acquired HIV so went and told the accompanying teachers. The story made it into the newspapers and the department of education (non-uk) made a statement so at least some of it was true!!!

We had this but in the bathroom mirror and no scratching
