What's the Naughtiest thing you did as a child at school?

At school aged 7 I pushed the class bully into the school pond, and legged it into the PE shed, pretended to tidy the hula hoops away, and got away with it!
In my teens I became good friends with her, and eventually confessed, she thought it was hillarious.
This is DS1s 2nd week at school, and Im dreading what he's going to get up to !

I pushed a boys head into a reinforced glass door when I was 8. He had punched my little brother and knocked him unconscious and had bene bullying him badly for some time.
I got the strap for it - the boy was unhurt - the door was dented, but the boy never went near my brother again.
It is the only time I have ever hit anyone...

When I was 10 I used to spend all day out and about being Emma Peel with a boy who was John Seed. We were sure Bingham (on the outskirst of Nottingham) was being infiltated by russian spies.
We were sure the road was being used as a landing strip for planes, and snuck out at night and blew out all the old -style paraffin road lanterns that marked a trench alongside the road. A lorry went down it!
Then we made our HQ in the waiting room of the unstaffed railway station, and sure the russians were after us, we made a fire so that they wouldn't be able to trace our clues. Seriously damaged waiting room....

Piffle - I think the popular vote would be on your side in that one!

At 11 I wrote a rude poem featuring the name of a hated teacher on a wall in the music dep, using a Rubik's Cube (which scored through the paint).
(I owned up. Had to paint over it in break.)
During O Level revision, I bashed a friend's head repeatedly against a library table. She had hidden my Crunchie and had generally been goading me for weeks.
We're still friends. Have never apologised. Won't!

When I was 15, I hated maths as the girls behind me used to spit paper at me, plus I was crap at maths!
I lied to my teacher saying I had been moved to the top class,and spent 8 months hiding in the library!!
By some huge fluke I passed my GCSE !!

I broke an interior school wall on "parents evening".
Gods honest truth we were having a break from showing the parents around and I was in the last year of my Senior School. I was having a play about fight with another boy and as he ran from me I ran and kicked out at him but I kicked the interior wall which was only about 2-3 feet high and my foot caught the corner and it crumbled a little bit at first, then the whole lot fell!!! The boy and I scarpered like bats out of hell but we never got caught..

kimi · 12/09/2006 17:27

I flushed the uniform of the girl that was bullying me down the toilet while she was doing gym.

BadHair · 12/09/2006 17:28

Aged 4 - Pushed a boy off a chair so my best friend could sit on it. Boy already had a broken arm and had to go to hospital to have his cast checked for damage.

Bit my best friend (different one)aged 6.

Drew a slightly rude but rather accurate cartoon strip about a teacher which my friend (yet another one - was at high school by this time) passed round. And yes, he found it.

Some other rather sneaky, petty, nasty stuff that I'm not proud of, and have talked about on here before. But I did actually grow up to be a fairly nice, respectable person, honest!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/09/2006 17:32

LOL Blu....reminds me of some things I used to get up to.

I did the fighting thing, smoking thing, and bringing illegal substances/alcohol in for consumption thing, the starting fires thing, stand up row with teacher thing twice, bunking off, etc. Not much of any of them, but tried each one at least once

Blu · 12/09/2006 17:33

My sister's school went on a trip to the Cutty Sark. A boy swotted up on all the facts before they left, and with my sister as the 'bimbo with the clipboard' set up an unofficial guide service. They broke away from the school group and made a fortune!

TheRealCam · 12/09/2006 17:40

Blimey at some of these, some of you were very "enterprising" weren't you?

The naughtiest thing I did was to make the V-sign to the back of my scary French teacher as he left the class one day [goody goody emoticon]

MoreSpamThanGlam · 12/09/2006 17:45

Dont know if it counts, but I got thrown out of the Brownies in first week for fighting, and then picked all the flowers in the downstairs maisonettes garden. I put on my Brownie uniform, tied up bundles of flowers and knocked on doors to sell the flowers, them spent the money on sweets.
In secondary school I backhanded a girl who called my mum a slag and she got a fractured skull from the fall, I got suspended. Still hate the cow.

PeachyClairHasBadHair · 12/09/2006 17:55

set fire to my chemistry teacher with a gas tap (by accident but she didnt believe it)

painted another child with tippex (deliberately)

MerlinsBeard · 13/09/2006 09:49

oh god! just rememered that a friend and i were messing about un chemistry mixing "stuff" but ended up having the school evacuated and people in yellow suits come and dispose of what we had made!

amyjade · 13/09/2006 11:35

Aged 4- I crawled under the table and bit my teacher on the leg.

Tawny75 · 13/09/2006 11:36

When I was 12 I was sent out of the class, I went into the loo's blocked all the sinks and turned the taps on. Flooded the towerblock

I am so ashamed!

lucy5 · 13/09/2006 11:38

Oh god so many to choose from.

At about 14 I climbed out a second floor window, tried to climb down a drainpipe only to find it was diagonal and fell about 15 foot onto a flat roof.

I stole hymn books from the chapel and sold them to the first years.

God I hope dd doesn't turn out like me. I don't think the nuns would believe that I eventually became a teacher

willow2 · 13/09/2006 11:45

I so cannot say...

amyjade · 13/09/2006 11:46

I did the usual teenage things smoking, drinking before school,even taking illegal substances and spending the whole science class laughing at nothing. (hope my mum doesn't read this!!)
My Art teacher once told me i was the sort of child who put her off having kids I reported her to the head master and made her apologise.

expatinscotland · 13/09/2006 11:51

As a teen, or in primary school?

In primary school, I hung out w/the class firebug.

He was always talking about how he wanted to set something alight.

So I nicked one of my dad's match books.

During Science project show and tell, he lit someone's model rocket afire. It flew up in the air, landed on Anita Booker's deskbag, and it went up in flames.

No one was hurt.

As a teen, I smoked cigarettes at school, drank alcohol on and off campus, skived loads, left campus during the middle of the day and shagged my Austrian boyfriend in the yearbook room.

loving this thread!
in primary school i hid when it was time to get back on the coach after a swimming lesson, i got left behind, and got banned from swimming for the rest of the term.
in secondary school i wandered off on a school trip to barcelona, for about 2 hours, i got banned from the next school trip, which i didnt mind as it was pony trekking in wales i think.
i also used to sit next to a girl in science, that wore a headscarf with little tassels on, she used to flick her head and make the tassels hit me in the face, so when her back was turned i put the end of it in my bunsun (?) burner, think i got away with that 1.
in our secondary school we had to get a key off the receptionists to open the toilets if we needed to go during lessons, i went, and another girl i couldnt stand wandered in, while she was in the cubicle i sprinted out and locked her in and returned the key, got away with that 1 too, iv no idea how long she was in there
i was also 1 of about 4 girls that bundled another girl into a pottery oven thingy, shut the door and told her we were going to turn it on (we didnt by the way)

coderoo · 13/09/2006 13:27

Infant school - was taken to headmistress for 'bullying' all the boys as they were too teriffied to go out at lunch time cos I made all the girls play kiss chase (still find it hilarious).

Junior school - smashed girl's head into wall and gave her concussion (they thought it was an accident as I was such a good girl)

Senior school - generally skipping classes, smoking (fags and weed), getting drunk. Never got into trouble.

I was a very good gril apparently and never had a detention during my whole school career .

ilovecaboose · 13/09/2006 13:36

dp's parents were called to school every week for something he had done (not bullying - mostly being cheeky and playing tricks on teachers), ds is just like him so I can see the same things happening.

Tex111 · 13/09/2006 13:42

Age 12, organised a prank where one classroom shouted 'AHHH CHOO' at the same time and then the classroom across the hall replied 'BLESS YOU'. Sounds so tame now but got in big trouble at the time.

Age 16, got my boyfriend to ring the school, pretend to be my father and arrange an early dismissal for me. I was sitting in the classroom when my early dismissal slip arrived, went skipping off down the hall and ran smack into my Dad. The school had been suspicious and rang him. He said to give me the dismissal so he could catch me red-handed. Dad was a police officer and he said if it happened again he would arrest my boyfriend for impersonating an officer!
