People Share Their Encounters With A Weird Classmate

Once in our lives as students, the thing that we cannot surely miss is meeting a “weird” classmate. That weirdness may make us uncomfortable or may leave us awestruck. But one thing is for sure, this encounter made our lives as students quite unforgettable.

These Redditors share their experience with an odd classmate. You may be shocked that this type of person exists in the four corners of the room. Let’s take a look!

1. The Pencil Knight's Epic Quest for Censored Art

We had a guy at my high school who was a little socially inept. He would walk through the hallway with a sharpened pencil extended in front of him like a spear and say “Make way, make way, mere mortals!” whenever he would walk to class. 

He also got in trouble for looking up “explicit content” on the library computer. Of course, actual explicit content sites were blocked, so he “researched” pictures of Roman and Greek statues of nude women.

The weird kid in my graduating class always walked around with a sketchbook in his hand. He would draw graphic (yet very realistic) sketches of explicit content during class, and then somehow make them blend together into beautiful landscapes or works of art. 

It was like playing Where's Waldo every time he showed you his sketches, except with a male organ. Other than that, he was quite a funny dude to be around and everyone in our grade liked him. 

Last I heard he got accepted into a well-known arts school in the States, and is flourishing there as an artist. I hope he's still walking the halls with his weird book in hand and enjoying his little artistic life out there.

I knew a guy named Aaron. Big, stocky, wild unbrushed hair to his shoulders and a face full of freckles. He always brought his pet rat to school. 

He tried to crack open a coconut on his desk in the middle of the class. When it came to choosing year 12 prefects, he decided to give it a go. Part of applying is giving a speech in the performing arts auditorium to everyone so they'll vote for you. 

He gave a long rambling speech but the highlight was him pulling a live pigeon out of his backpack and setting it free in the auditorium yelling "FLY!"

I had a classmate who seriously thought she was a cat. She crawled around on the floor, meowed, and purred. The teacher allowed this and never scolded her. I didn't really care because she was still "normal" besides the cat thing. 

It got really weird when my friend suddenly screamed "Ow, CRAP!" followed by the girl going "meow" from under the table. She bit his leg. As far as I know, she has no problems, just likes being a cat.

This kid named Alec used to walk around hissing at people randomly and throwing things down the hall. He was kind of weird but I guess people got used to it and never thought of it another way.

But things even took a darker turn. He was not just plain weird and harmless. In freshman year, they found a hitlist in his locker. I somehow ended up on it even though I had never said a single word to him before.

We had a kid get expelled for life from our school for making a “popularity list” where your worth was judged by your popularity rank. He dispersed it among students and eventually a lot of the lower-ranked kids were treated like crap. 

This list eventually made it into a teacher's hands and the kid got in a lot of trouble. The kids found out that one of the higher-ranked students slipped the list to teachers. She was unhappy with her rank.

He ended up not being able to reapply to the school. it was a small private school that had an application process similar to college.

We students thought he got expelled because the parents of the whistleblower were filthy rich and regularly “helped” the school. They were probably not too happy about their kid's rank.

The smartest kid in the entire school never talked. We have never heard him uttered a single word. In 4 years I have known him, we had about 6 classes together, but not a single conversation. I tried my luck but the best I could get was writing or typing on screen in computer classes. 

People made fun of him but I could tell he was a super nice kid so I took up for him when I could. Travis! If you see this hit me up!

We had a guy like that named Mike. He never talked! People tried to say hi to him and he would just smile and look away. 

In 4 years of having classes with him, the teachers never made him answer a question in class or put him on the spot for anything. In our final year of high school, he came back a different person. He got in with a group of guys with similar interests and then you couldn’t shut him up. He was like night and day.

I sat next to an autistic kid in high school math class and didn't really realize he had issues until I was in college. I thought the kid was great very quiet but super nice. Once he let me borrow his agenda so I could get a hall pass signed. All his entries said "potty" which I thought was a bit strange but shrugged it off. Yes, I can be a little slow and awkward.

On the plus side, the cute girls sitting around us seemed to have figured out the guy had issues and it seemed like they saw me as "cool" for sitting next to the kid every class. Unfortunately, I was indeed slow and didn't think much of their flirting and teasing. Missed opportunity.

A girl I went to elementary school with used to think she was a dog. She would act like a dog; panting, barking, licking her arms, etc.

We were all kids and it wasn’t frequent enough for it to be weird but one day she came up to me as we were putting away our backpacks on the hooks and sticking her tongue out to reveal a glob of her hair on her tongue. 

She then goes “Shhhhh” and walks away. I will never forget this. We became closer acquaintances in high school later on but I was too embarrassed to ever bring it up, mostly for her.

Rockerdrummer

A girl in elementary school did a thing where she thought she was a dog. We ended up at the same high school after we both moved and such. She forgot who I was and was being a straight wench to me one day for no reason other than I was sitting near her. 

I basically reminded her that I knew of her weird dog phase and she, nor her friends, ever bothered me again.

This guy at my school would literally do anything you dared him to do. When you tell him to slap a kid with a slice of pizza, he will do it. When you tell him to take a dump in the urinal? No problem. When you tell him to take his shirt off in the middle of the cafeteria, and pour milk on himself while screaming? Easy.

I talked to him a couple of times in classes that I had with him and he actually seemed fairly normal. He doesn’t have any social media so I have no idea how he is doing currently.

When I was in sixth grade one of the special education kids whipped his male organ out in gym class and started doing weird things with it. The kids were bothered by it. 

He actually managed to finish what he was doing before the coaches could get to him. I hired him as a temporary worker a couple of years after high school when I was overseeing a remodel of the retail store I was managing at the time. 

My boss was pissed I hired a “retard” (her words), I stuck to my guns and let him sort stuff for a couple of weeks. He was a toughie. Like faster than I was. He never once whipped his male organ out.

An older lady, let's call her Darcy, was in my literature class. We were randomly assigned to do a group project with her and about three others. Our topic (given to us by the professor) was the Industrial Revolution.

We quickly realize we can't trust Darcy to do any actual work. She just twists herself in circles trying to (and not) understand the project.

At a mandatory meeting with prof to discuss our progress, Darcy gets herself worked up because she "can't understand" the topic. The professor asked why. She said, "Because I don't even know which countries fought the industrial revolution! How can I present it?"

I side-eye the professor thinking, look what we've been dealing with for weeks. I've never seen such a perfect deer-in-the-headlights look. The professor talked us through breaking down an assignment and we agreed Darcy should just do the introduction. Easy peasy, right?

Apparently, not. Another partner made the mistake of giving out her phone number and Darcy called her at about 2 am complaining about how hard the project was and that she didn't understand. She ranted for over an hour, The classmate thought she was drunk. Now in my mind, I call her "Drunk Darcy."

The day of the presentation comes and we're ready to be done with the stupid topic and Darcy. Her intro is about five minutes worth of information about how only Europe had the Industrial Revolution because only white people were smart enough to invent it. 

We were mortified, and we still had to get up and present our info. That presentation was the lowest grade I got in the class, but the professor stopped doing group presentations after that.

For as long as Darcy was on campus, if she saw anyone in the group she'd corral them and complain about the group presentation topic. I learned to stare at the ground if I saw her walking around so we wouldn't have to talk. I'm glad she was trying to get an education, but oh boy did she always seem confused and overwhelmed.

I have a great story.

I moved to a new state during my sophomore year of high school. I didn’t know anyone so I had no idea what kids were considered weird. In my first couple of weeks, the kid who sat behind me asked if I could get him a tissue. The box of tissues was on a window ledge right beside me, so I obliged and handed him one. 

Then, I heard super loud “Nom, nom, nom, nom.” And this guy straight up, devours this tissue. He just looked at me and smiled, I looked around the room and everyone was staring at him.

[deleted]

This guy was playing games on his laptop instead of paying attention while the teacher was talking. He minimized the window and left to go to the toilet or something that I can't remember. 

His background was anime and changed every 10 seconds. One of them was straight-up Japanese explicit content. The juicy stuff. Every student noticed and just before the teacher looked over at his screen it changed to something completely innocent.

When I was a junior in high school there was this turd freshman in our school. His name is Austin. He had this thought that he was a rebel. So he did everything to appear that he was one.

The thing is, Austin had bad acne. He was far from ordinary. He would pop his pimples and eat them to gross everyone out. He tried his best to make everyone hate him. Then he would cry after school to the teachers that no one liked him.

This is less “annoying-weird” and more “I-am-in-awe-but-also-confused” kind of weird. In grade 4, there was this boy in my class, he was cool, obsessed with tanks, and loved to draw them from memory during class. I was a girl, and the other girls thought it was weird that I wanted to hang out with a boy, but the girls were jerks, so I didn't care.

Anyway, once during lunch time, he told me he was a bee whisperer, and told me to follow him. There was this big bush full of pink flowers in one corner of the schoolyard, full of bees. He puts his finger near the bush, and one bee lands on his finger. He tells me the key is to be gentle and make them trust you by not being afraid.

He then picks a flower that one bee was sitting on, slowly folds the petals into the middle, and pinches it between his fingers, essentially trapping the bee. He then puts the flower, with the bee, in his pocket, and we continue building stuff out of sticks.

Then recess is over, and in the middle of class, he taps me on the elbow, opens his pocket, and lets the bee crawl out. I just watch, as he lets the bee crawl over and between his fingers, until one girl nearby shrieks "James has a bee!" The teacher looks up, and in a bit of a panic, demands he let the bee go outside. He does, he just walks outside with the bee sitting in the palm of his hand.

That was the first and last time he ever showed me the bee thing, and he moved away at the end of that year. I'm naturally skeptical, and maybe my childish wonder at that time distorted my memory somehow, but a part of me still believes that the King of the Bees is out there, somewhere.

I knew a guy who went to my college for a couple of years with Asperger's, and who liked rocks. He would occasionally approach me and start talking about them and I'd listen sometimes when I didn't need to go somewhere, but I also witnessed many times where people were unnecessarily mean to him.

Some people thought of him as a novelty and would feign friendship and feed him alcohol, just because they thought it was funny when he was drunk. I wish I would've done more to help him out and stop them, especially right before he left. 

I went to the gym for a run and all the treadmills were taken, so I went to the indoor track that was hardly used. About 10 minutes into my run, he comes in with his mom and goes into the middle of the track with his mom. He starts showing her these various sword fighting techniques that he had learned because apparently, he was really into that too.

Then he notices me as I'm doing a lap and eagerly waves. I wave back and he motions me to come. So, I took out my earbuds and jogged over. He introduced me to his mom as his friend. 

I could tell it made her happy that he had a friend and he was really happy too. I had only briefly talked to him a few times, but I did my best to be as friendly as I could be. After a few minutes, I excused myself, saying that I had to get going, so I left.

That was pretty much the last time I saw him because he left school shortly after. He was a nice guy that most people just misunderstood and looking back I wish I had tried to get to know him better.

I knew this guy named Jeremy. He was kind of weird and had a lot of antics. He loved chickens. He would go on about the chickens on his farm. He also depleted an entire tube of topical ointment every day.

Whenever he has people he doesn’t like, he maliciously shanks them with mechanical pencils. He would inject graphite in himself with said mechanical pencil.

Another weird thing is he held his books like he was carrying logs, with the smallest books on top. He could sprint down the halls with these stacked books without dropping any and did so after he tripped an obese kid.

That guy also had an unsettlingly strong resemblance to a video game character.

Pythondotpy

We had a guy at my school. Let’s call him Jay. Jay was 6’5” and 280 lbs of muscle at 18 years old. He was a starting linebacker averaging like 4 sacks and like 20 tackles a game. A literal one-man defense.

He had multiple D1 and D2 offers. One time his helmet was knocked off his head and he went and speared the runner anyway, walked back to the sidelines covered in blood from a cut on his head with the most terrifying smile I’ve ever seen.

He was the most brutal athlete I’ve ever met. Fear was just not in his vocabulary. Jay turned down every school offer. We even had an NFL recruiter/scout/whatever visit him (my school had NFL ties from funding).

All he wanted to do was go to the Marines and be a machine gunner and end people. He enlisted immediately upon graduating, disappeared for a year, and then returned home eventually ending himself.

In high school, this kid with diabetes would eat gross stuff at lunch like cookies with barbecue sauce and gummy worms with ranch just to gross people out.

Then one day in a class I had with him he scooped up all the fruit flies from the windowsill and just ate them, completely unprovoked. Then the very next day at lunch he took I think 3 bites out of a soda can, swallowed each bite, and everything was fine.

I guess it didn't cut his insides on the way out and he was still coming to school and eating gross stuff and saying weird things. As I typed this I realized what a champ he is.

Paarthursnatch

This kid in the class before us wore a black trench coat to school every day. No exaggeration, every day. Mind you, I live in Texas, so it gets hot. And when it gets hot, the trench coat boy gets stinky.

I actually don’t know if we knew his name. I just know the other boys in our class referred to him as stinky. They cleaned the table he sat at with a detergent every day before class started.

Boy, I do miss public school.

We're gonna call this guy, Andy. In middle school when we would read our textbooks. Andy would rip his hair out, smell it, and either eat it or sprinkle it in the textbook.

Andy also had awful body odor. In between classes, he would run down the hallway, jumping in between people and when you saw him coming, you would instinctively hold your breath.

One time, in high school the entire school smelled like raw crap. The entire morning everybody was talking about "the smell.” Finally, the teachers and the principal figured out it was Andy. No, it wasn't his normal body odor, but he had crap his pants and was sitting in it all morning.

I knew a guy named Ronald. Horse castration is one of his many fields of knowledge. He made it a point to spout horse testicle facts to everyone on the first day of school.

Ronald’s seat in class is marked by a long trail of toilet paper and splashes of blue ink because he eats TP and bites on blue pens.

In Chinese calligraphy class, instead of writing the characters we were instructed to, Ronald used his brush and ink to draw ancient tribal symbols, which he would then meticulously explain to anyone nearby.

He would routinely produce decks of homemade tarot cards to show off to everyone. Ronald even confessed his love to a girl by gifting her with homemade logarithm tables. He makes sure to break silences by spontaneously breaking into song (Latin opera) and dance (some kind of half-waltz, half-skip).

Once he decided to engage in regular conversation by asking everyone about their favorite genre of explicit content. Ronald spoke perpetually in Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness mode.

Ronald even stood incredibly far from the urinal every time he went for a piss, earning him the nickname of Sniper.

I knew a Goth kid. Consider him a friend of a friend. He was a fun person because he did all sorts of weird stuff, but I kept that distance because getting any closer to him as a friend would have just been bad. 

He once bragged about cheating on his girlfriend 7 times. I asked him why he didn't just suck it up and break up with her already. Then he started going, "But I'm cute! She doesn't care!" So I rolled my eyes, and said, "Yeah, sure." He got offended because I didn't think he was cute, but in a joking way since we were kind of friends but not really.

Well, that girl broke up with him because she knew her worth, and he kind of broke down. He told me later about how he got banned from a store because he got caught doing weird stuff in one of the clothing sections. So I asked, "So why'd you do that?" Apparently because a blouse there reminded him of his ex, and then he claimed to be on the offender's list for doing that.

I don't actually know if this happened as it's only based on what he says about himself, but it's weird if he did it and it's still weird even if he didn't because he was bragging about it.

Out of the blue one day, he called me over just to tell me, "I know why she and I didn't work out. It's because I have bipolar disorder and she has Asperger's and that's a bad mix of mental illnesses." I said, "Good for you for figuring out then. I guess you're getting treatment?" It came out a little apathetic sounding, but I didn't know what else to say to that. He didn't reply to what I said. He just started walking away and went, "I'm going to wrestling practice now!" So I said okay bye.

He eventually got a new girlfriend, and then they ran away to another state. The girl's mom was seriously distressed for the longest time. They both came back and are living with his mom until she (the girlfriend) can finish high school so she at least won't be a dropout because that was a real risk for a while.

I grew up in a small village in upstate New York. In high school, two weird kids ordered ninja equipment from a magazine. They dressed in outfits, masks and all, and began walking around town in broad daylight with swords on their backs.

They were hanging out near the local bar when someone reported them to the town cop. The cop showed up and confiscated their weapons but told them, “You guys can keep your pajamas.”

There was this girl in middle school my friends and I, as the resident outcasts, tried to be friends with because she was too. But she proved too weird even for us. Her favorite hobby was drawing anime characters’ explicit versions. 

Like in the middle of class, she'd be drawing detailed pictures of the characters being physical with one another. For a project where we had to make a product commercial, she came to school in a pink bunny suit and kicked the heck out of a box of cereal. 

And during our poetry unit, she wrote a poem basically about stalking a guy she liked. "I'm watching you in the dark. I'm watching you in the bushes. I'm watching you from a distance. Always, always watching." We noped out after that.

I was the weird classmate and this was the funniest story I heard from a guy who didn't know the story was about me.

I was in class and I finished my work early so I started doodling in my notebook by myself since I didn't talk to anyone. So I got thirsty and I pulled out this water that my ex had given me it was like water with minerals or something but the water itself was black. 

I start drinking it the water goes down wrong and I start choking. I spit out half a mouthful of black water onto my notebook and run out with the bottle. I ended up running to a restroom 2 buildings away because the one in that building the one that gave me the creeps so I took about 20ish minutes trying to stop choking in a completely different building so when one of my classmates was sent to look for me they couldn't find me. 

Eventually, they started freaking out because what they saw was some guy just choking, spitting out a black liquid onto his notebook, then disappearing so they called the ambulance. When I came back after a good thirty minutes of drying my shirt that had been soaked I got sent to the office and the principal told me never to bring that drink again.

Side note the water wasn't even that good it had a nasty metallic taste to it.

I was in Community College at the time, taking a beginner's Spanish class. It was me (an 18-year-old man) and 6 women in the class so it was pretty close-knit. 

I sat next to a woman named Stephanie who was probably around 55-60 years old. She told me about how her ex-husband was involved in the Russian mafia and that before she met him he had a child whose life was lost at the hands of the mafia when he was 3.

She told me many other strange stories about her life throughout the semester. Towards the end of the semester, I was hustling out of the building like I always did. I heard a voice yelling my name behind me and to my surprise it was Stephanie. She asked me if I was busy after class and if I wanted to go out and get drinks with her. It was 10 am.

There was this kid, we will call him John. I had my first two classes with John, one being an early morning class at 6, and the next being a regular high school schedule and it started at 7:30 am. 

Every day before the early morning class (probably 2-3 times a week realistically) he would drop acid and trip hardcore for the next few hours. Anyway, the second class I had with John was drawing. John was honestly a great artist, in an intro drawing class. 

One day we were supposed to be drawing a bear that was up on the projector, using the method where it is split up into quadrants to help you draw it proportionately. John decided he didn’t want to draw said bear, and instead drew a very realistic picture of Pope Benedict XVI. 

I have no idea where he got the idea, but he looked up a picture on his phone and started drawing. I sat right next to him and I was losing it. It was manageable until the teacher came around to check if anyone needed help. 

He comes up to me and John and points out a few things that I can fix and he looks at John's picture. Classes were 90 minutes and with his skill in drawing it was pretty well drawn. The teacher whispered under his breath “What the actual heck.” 

He asked John why he was drawing “this guy” and he looked right back at the teacher and said “There is still hope for you in God's eyes” and took his shirt off and stood on his chair. The teacher took him out into the hall and I didn’t see him for a solid 2 terms at school or anywhere really.

Every time I tell this story it’s hard for me to even believe and I was there for it. But this kid was a legend.

It was the first day in 1st or 2nd grade. I was riding the bus to school and this girl decided to sit next to me. I was excited at the idea of a potential friend. She seemed pretty normal and I introduced myself.

We had a standard conversation until she whipped her backpack out in front of her and started unzipping it. She took something out, grasping it normally. Except she was holding nothing. Her hand was in a position that looked like she was holding some sort of container, but there was nothing there. 

She said, "I have to take my medicine. Is that ok?" I wasn't a judgemental kid and even though I was confused, I was just like "Uh. Okay." She proceeded then to pour her invisible pills into her other hand. 

Unfortunately, the container seemed to be lubed up or something because she dropped it. She gasped as she stared at all her pills on the floor. At this point, I'm super weirded out but no one seems to have noticed. 

She starts picking up each pill and placing it into her container. I decided to be polite and randomly grabbed at the ground and placed some of her pills into the container. Maybe to her, I was being weird and grabbing nothing. Who knows? 

She put a few pills in her hand placed them into her mouth and "swallowed" them. We didn't talk the rest of the way. When the bus arrived, she said "Cya!" and walked away and I never saw her again. I hope she's doing ok.

In private Christian high school, my freshman year. This kid who was kind of a loner and weird had a rumor spread about him that he cut holes in the inside of his hoodie pockets (like the middle pocket at the stomach) in order to touch himself while clothed.  

I didn't believe it until I saw him pleasuring himself in English class. (The teacher was decent looking for a private Christian School, I guess)

I still feel sick about having seen it.

BigOlCoot

I was the “weird” classmate. In middle school I found a sparrow in the ground, clearly sick, jerking around, I didn't know what to do but I wanted to help it so much that I picked it up, it continued convulsing, and passed away. 

I felt so bad for it that I wanted to bury it, but the others got wind that I had a dead bird in my pocket, and told the teachers who pulled me out of class, and scolded me making me throw it away, I think they assumed I was the one who eliminated it. 

Still, sometimes the weird classmate had a reason for their actions. I know I'm still weird for doing this but I was twelve and I felt really bad that I didn't know how to save it, I just wanted it to be buried, I guess I thought it would atone for the fact that I couldn't save it.

CalebHeffenger

I'm not sure if he had a disorder or what, but he definitely wasn't all up there. He had his 2 or so friends and seemed okay most days. Once in a while he'd screech or do something random to try to get attention.

One time he came in begging for one of the dudes to kick him in the shin. I stopped talking to him after he snorted wasabi. There were other shenanigans I'm sure I've forgotten.

His big event though was when he came to class with a long jacket in the Florida heat. I didn't see but supposedly just before class he flashed some girl in our class and ran out. Either way never saw him again.

Bligh4u

He was super quiet all the time, but he definitely wasn't a thinker. When he blinked, his eyes would do it at different times. 

His voice was an odd tone of raspy and squeaky. I think he skated on a very delicate line between Special Education and regular classes. Our teacher in grade eight asked the class what color pee was when you get dehydrated. He said green. The whole class was dumbfounded. 

I don't know where he is now, but I hope he's well.

Whitney189

Back in high school, this popular blonde girl (who looked like a more youthful Tara Reid) had two churlish guys vying for her affection. She convinced these two guys to fight shirtless on the school field for her entertainment.

In front of the blonde girl and a small crowd, these two knuckleheads took their shirts off and had a surprisingly brutal fistfight. One of them ended up so badly hurt he went to hospital with a fractured eye, swollen lip, and injured nose.

Both guys were suspended for a month. The blonde skipped away into the sunset and (as far as I'm aware) never gave either of them so much as a kiss on the cheek for their troubles.

Well, I knew this boy in my sophomore-year cooking class, let's just call him "Chris.” These are the things Chris did.

He usually pestered out the teacher and would swear most of the time in class making the teacher irritable. Mostly because he maybe was bored. But would always ask why she is always in a bad mood.

He tried showing off by burning plastic on the stove twice. He had that idea the day we were making some food like tomato soup with toasted cheese. (no not grilled) The teacher comes by and notices an odd smell and most of us rat him out on it. He denies that he even did it.

He said within earshot of a lot of girls that he could pleasure himself six times in 2 hours. He was getting a little loud and he and his friends stopped when some of the students had a look of shock of why would he not be quiet about it.

The mean substitute threatens us students that she has the authority to keep us after school even when the busses leave. The same kid has an idea and whispers to his friends that I can tell what he is saying. He goes "Ya know what? We should lock the teacher out." 

So as if on cue, the teacher goes out into the hall, and the kid somehow figures out how to lock the door. And the teacher was locked out for who knows how many minutes until she found a different route. (The computer lab had a long hallway that led to our cooking classroom) and the teacher questions about who locked her out. The other teacher might have thought the door locked by itself.

Now that I think about it, I still have no idea if that teacher even found out who did it.

In my freshman year of high school, I took a class called Foods during the first period. In my group was this one dumb skater kid who somehow managed to show up stoned at 7:30 am. He got moved from my group to another after he sleepily waved a knife in my general direction, mumbling something about “shanking.”

Oh, and this same group contained a girl who once misread a recipe for wontons and added a quarter cup of ginger instead of a quarter teaspoon. Quite a memorable experience.

I’m a little late but I have three super weird ones that I couldn’t not share with you. The first was a girl in my 4th grade class. Our school was crowded so we had class in a trailer behind the school. 

There was a handicap ramp leading up to the door and she would sit, every day before class, perched like a bird in the post. She was obsessed with birds of prey and wanted to be a falconer.

Weirder still was a boy in 5th grade. He was “madly in love” with this girl in our class who moved halfway through the year. So naturally his response was to carve her name into his arm with a pencil. Looking back, I feel so bad for our teacher. It was her first year and that class was full of weirdos.

Lastly, the weirdest kid I’ve ever met was in my 7th-grade class. He used to pleasure himself during class, often using a textbook. Finally, we couldn’t take it anymore and decided to tell our teacher. 

My friends and I were standing there, trying to figure out how to tell her when I heard the words “HE PLEASURES HIMSELF WITH HIS MATH BOOK” come out of my mouth. It wasn’t the most delicate way to explain, but it did put a stop to that behavior.

There was a guy I went to school with since preschool. He always lived a rough life from what I can tell. He was known for getting in trouble a lot and doing illegal substances. 

He would disappear from school for a while and then come back, who knows why he was gone or what he was doing? But, everyone generally liked him regardless of his mysterious life. He was always super outgoing and friendly, and he never really had beef with anyone.

So junior year of high school he came back to school after one of these extended absences, and he was different. He didn't want to talk to anyone, and he was super on edge and moody. Someone sat down next to him and he said, "You can't sit there, my angel is sitting there." 

Everyone thought that was weird as heck because he was imagining someone there and he had never talked about angels or religion or anything like that ever. He went the rest of the day only talking (whispering) to his "angel" and not talking to anyone else. 

He threatened to hurt someone because they couldn't see his angel. He left for a while again and once he came back, he never spoke of the angel again. But he hasn't been the same since that day.

This one I know was fairly tame but still weird. Way back in the 2000s, I knew a kid in choir who I was a member too who would use the teacher’s computer every day before and after class to check how his online selling platform auctions were going. 

He has this whole weird process for the things he sells. He did the whole move of buying things that were already on the same online selling platform at a slightly undervalued and then auctioning them right back again for a slightly higher price thing.

I used to go to school with this big. strong, ugly-looking kid, we will call him Albert, who would just go into rage mode in the middle of class for no particular reason and also was just a general weirdo even by my standards. 

His problems included choking a kid out in middle school for calling him fat. He also used to bring weird bagged food that stunk up the entire cafeteria. He also screamed at a girl in high school who didn't say a word to him accusing her of saying he smelled and telling the entire class what a flirt she was while throwing and punching things

He used to wear a dog collar and exclaim he was a furry to the entire school on multiple occasions. He was also used to explaining erotic practices in graphic detail and asking me many times uncomfortable questions about what I preferred intimately and if I ever wanted him to tie me up, of course, I said “No.”

Albert was bi and loved announcing it to everyone he met. All in all, I always tried to stay on Albert's good side in case he had any plans to hurt anyone in the future, but I lost track of Albert after he was expelled because of one of his outbursts but I will say can't forget him.

He wasn’t that weird but he was a douche and rarely got in trouble. I met him in 1st grade and tried befriending him, but he was a douche and never shared playground equipment or anything.

I tried again in 4th grade, still a douche but I stuck it out until the end of 5th grade.

At one point in 5th grade, we almost got in a fight over something during a field trip.

I stopped being friends with him, he proceeded to try and bully me for 2 years straight (mostly verbally, but once physically) but never succeeded because he was terrible at it and people would often tell him to lay off. 

I could’ve hurt him if I wanted but I didn’t care and didn’t want to risk suspension. It didn’t help that he sucked up to teachers and tried being friends with all of them. I also heard stories of people trying to talk to him casually but he was an absolute douche to them too.

I start to not hear from him much during eighth grade. I hear he was bullied, which he kind of put on himself. In 9th grade, he called an anonymous anti-bullying app thing and said someone was going to ambush the school.

Turns out, the app had lied or something because they tracked him down.

The school board tries to expel him. But NO he’s such a good kid and there must be a misunderstanding (his parents were very well off and teachers defended him since he was so nice to them, sounds like a lawsuit even though this is a violation of the code of conduct) 

He lucked out with a 10-day suspension, unfortunately. I wish he was suspended. On the bright side, local news did an atrocious job of censoring his face and even showed his first name after the school ambush thing. He got a lot of crap for it. He kind of deserves it

I’m normally not the type to be okay with bullying, as I was bullied myself for a while for being extremely anti-social, but he seriously brings that on himself.

He was supposed to be a super cool dude. He was known for being hilarious, confident, and smart. 

I passed a drug test for him once and he treated me to a restaurant without saying a word. I liked him a lot. He almost got expelled for fooling around with an elementary teacher. Honestly a pretty cool dude all around, just a tad sadistic and messed up in the head like the rest of us at that school.
