No, that's what I'm glad that you told us.

I once got caught skipping school. A teacher saw me walking home and asked me what I'd done that day. I told him that we'd (friend and I) walked miles, threw a Frisbee in the park until we were exhausted, dozed on the grass, ate lunch in an old hole-in-the-wall restaurant, and generally had fun. He didn't report me.

He was a football coach and had two children. That was surely in my favor.

for me getting sent to the head teachers office for pointing at someone.
I was a very by-the-book person, always. Fastidiously so. I swear like a sailor but if the rule was no swearing, I didn't swear.

But in college, after my first boyfriend and I broke up, I had a FWB. He was nice and we were both horny and didn't want a romantic relationship. He was a music major. I'm pretty sure we had sex in every private music studio in the department during those few months before I met and started dating my second boyfriend.

Not too crazy though, I guess... almost everyone else did it too. "Going in with so-and-so to play for a while" was code.

eta: I was in trouble for not doing drill homework (repeats of math, LA, and science we'd learned; I always did the essays, report, and projects) and in detention almost every day. I guess you could call that trouble but it never felt like it. I didn't want to repeat work I already knew when I could be playing or reading something else. So, my mother knew I wouldn't be home until later and my teacher knew I'd be in his class after school every day. I had the highest grades, perfect test scores, and would also not do my homework in detention unless it was progressing and not repetition. Very often, I'd be pulled out to help with projects. It was fun. I'd read what I wanted to, get a report written without distraction, or help out the teachers.


I also beat up bullies, after nothing else would work to get them to stop (not even reporting it)... and for that, I would be sent to detention, where I was headed anyway. No adults ever were angry with me about it, just that I shouldn't, even though they had no advice for what else I could have done except continue to watch the bully beat up some poor kid. So, I don't even count those things as naughty.

I guess that's because I'm posting about "naughtiest" from the standards of today, but those things were considered typical teen behavior by the standards of the time.


Another example was when I was chasing a girl down the hallway in 7th grade. The hall aide yelled at both of us for running in the hallway, and pointed out that we were both late to class, but said nothing about me chasing her! I should have said that since we were both late to class, wasn't it a good thing that we were running, but that probably would have gotten me in trouble.


An interesting thread would be about things that were acceptable when we were in school but are no longer acceptable, and things that are acceptable today that were not acceptable when we were in school. (we meaning whoever posts, not just you and I in particular).

Can you think of anything that would be acceptable behavior today that was unacceptable when you were in school?

It's interesting that none of the things you were disciplined for in school are on your list of "naughtiest" things you did in school.

A boy wearing a dress to school.

And come to think of it, several 6th grade girls were disciplined for wearing pants to school when I was in 4th grade (1969-70). Their mothers were ready for it, and they all protested to the principal, and the girls were allowed to keep wearing pants. Gradually all the girls throughout the entire school started wearing pants and today most young people wouldn't believe that was ever an issue. This was at Gregory School (K-6), West Orange, New Jersey.

An elderly Art teacher, cranky and past her tolerance for teens. Her classroom was at the far end of the annex. Her next class was a free period. Putting away the supplies at the end of our class, we gently closed - and locked - her in the supply closet. I wasn't an active participant but I knew what was happening and I didn't say anything.

The location made it impossible for anyone to hear her banging and yelling. She was in there for most of the next 40 minutes. She retired at the end of the school year. I feel bad about that.

For a personal naughty, I pushed a straight pin through my shoe and poked the kid across the aisle in the derriere. He yelped, jumped out of his seat, and turned around and looked at me. My foot was under my desk and I smiled sweetly at him. Sister Immaculata told him to take his seat. I never got caught. That was fifth grade.

It seems that nowadays, girls are allowed to wear less clothing than they were when I was in middle school. By the time I was in high school, there was no dress code for either gender.

Since the things that I was punished for in school were all things that I was either falsely accused of, or were minor things that were blown out of proportion.

Another naughty thing that I did that comes to mind: somebody (not me) broke into my 9th grade science teacher's car and stole his grade book. Since he had no other record of our grades, we had to show him all of our exams from that quarter so that he could put the grades into his new grade book. But, if we were unable to find an exam, we'd have to come in either during lunch or after school to retake the exam. What I did was, I showed him all of my exams in which I got an A. But I pretended to lose all the exams in which I got less than an A. Since the exams that we retook were the same as the original, I memorized all of the answers, so I was able to get an A on all of them! I think I may have intentionally answered 1 or 2 questions wrong on some of them in order to avoid looking too suspicious.
