Was caught smoking by vvv strict nun. She confiscated my lighter, then sentenced me to light the candles in the oratory every day for the next 3 weeks Grin Grin Grin

I was quite scrappy at school and more than a little cheeky, so had my fair share of detentions.

DS1 has had one detention (for late homework which he'd done but forgotten to hand in) and I went mad at him for it til DH looked me dead in the eye and reminded me that one detention in a whole year versus my shenanigans meant I had no cause for complaint. He's right. The DCs are so much better behaved than I ever was.

Sneaking my boyfriend in who went to another school one lunch time (I was 15). He then had a fight with one of the lads from my school !!!

Stealing, always late and never doing homework or studying. (There were ishoos! )

Hoppinggreen · 16/05/2018 21:42

Make up and hair dye
I was actually very good but my School was a bit strict about that sort of thing

FissionChips · 16/05/2018 21:43

Made a teacher cry uncontrollably, she deserved it though, was always awful towards me.

HellToupee · 16/05/2018 21:47

Got excluded for a week for being “cheeky” in RE.

New RE teacher asked if our parents went to church so I told him “regular as clockwork, Sir”

He looked at me full of delight until I finished with “same night every year”. Petty reason for an exclusion.

MerryWoman · 16/05/2018 21:47

Always did naughty things, but seemed to rarely actually get in trouble for them! We just used to wind the teachers up until they snapped

MabelStable · 16/05/2018 21:48

I hid behind a tree at sports day.

Stormwhale · 16/05/2018 21:49

I climbed out of a high window and fucked about on the roof. My mum got a phone call and I got a huge bollocking. I'm not sure why I thought it was a good idea. I was about 6, so to be honest I think the teachers should have been watching a bit more closely!!

RedForFilth · 16/05/2018 21:50

I wasn't really bad as I was more worried about what my parents would say if school contacted them! I did however get in trouble as my boyfriend at the time (both 14yo) used to beat me up then tell all the teachers how awful I was. Two walked past while he had me up against the wall by my throat. Their solution was to remove me from all classes we were in together and make me sit in isolation and do worksheets. This was around 12 years ago.

I got hauled into the heads office once because I tried to attack another student with my flute. She was a struggling violinist and I was an accomplished flautist, and she really, really annoyed me. So I chased her. The head laughed me back out of the office, but it's probably the worst fear of telling off I ever had!

CaliforniaDream · 16/05/2018 21:52

Caught drinking before a school disco (boarding school). Because I was the new girl and the others were repeat offenders I just got a slap on the wrist while they got suspensions. I even owned up to the fact that I had been the one who snuck the alcohol onto school grounds but they decided I was lying for the sake of my new friends! The power of being a straight A student with an innocent face, eh?

VanGoghsLeftEar · 16/05/2018 21:53

A bully tormented me for months, pulling my hair, calling me names, being an utter bitch. I took it, but one day I flipped and thumped the living daylights out of her. I was a good girl at school, so the headteacher let me off with a warning. The bully was a known troublemaker and was suspended for a few days. My parents looked dimly on my behaviour though, and grounded me. C*s.

chinesechicken · 16/05/2018 21:53

A weeks exclusion for flooding the school by turning on a tap and removing the bit you turn it on with.

KatnissMellark · 16/05/2018 21:54

Someone rugby tackled me by my hair (we were playing rugby to be fair, but still not on) so I stood up, picked up the ball and launched it at her face in rage. Got an absolute bollocking for it.

RedForFilth · 16/05/2018 21:55

Sorry I pressed post! After that I bunked off a lot and they phoned my dad but he never told my mum as she would have gone mental. I promised him I'd work hard in my own time which i did and I got into a top ten university! It was the sweetest revenge after being told I'd amount to nothing!

ShackUp · 16/05/2018 21:57

helltoupee Grin bit harsh!

RavenLG · 16/05/2018 21:57

A teacher told me my face could sour milk after he moved me in class for talking. I told him his breath could sour milk and he went batshit. I got put on report.
Also for smoking outside the school gates but that time I was more told off by my dad

ChesterFuckingDraws · 16/05/2018 21:57

Loads of us went "on strike" for an afternoon the reason escapes me now but it was maths related Confused
Every single one of us was threatened with not being allowed to do our maths GCSE I was ill with worry until the next day when we were told we would be doing detention all week and could do the exam! Never been so glad for detention!

OhTheRoses · 16/05/2018 22:01

Called to the headmistresses office to explain myself after leading half a dozen girls into the school kitchen to ask why, what was on the menu sent to our parents, didn't extrapolate into what was put on our plates. For example: braised beef cobbler was greasy stew with gristle topped with brick like savoury scones. Inedible Apple pudding and icecream (about 20 portions for teachers who at first) for us was skimpy burnt pie (hard) with lumpy custard. And mash with black lumps in was not creamed potato.

I still think I was right.

Kraggle · 16/05/2018 22:08

Primary school - I escaped through a hole in the fence with a friend. We only went running up the road but were caught coming back through!

Secondary - almost screamed at by my English teacher and ordered out of lesson for talking/messing about. I was in sixth form. I stood outside for ten minutes mortified expecting him to come out and shout at me some more then thought “fuck this” and went to the common room.

BishopBrennansArse · 16/05/2018 22:19

I managed to hack the network and broadcast expletives over all the computer screens. On parents evening.

On those shitty BBC computers back in the 80s.

MerryWoman · 16/05/2018 22:21

The only teacher we didn't fuck about with was the PE teacher. All the others didn't phase us
