Recently, Reddit user Big_Boy_Bill06 asked how the "weird kid" at people's schools earned that reputation, and the responses FAR surpassed weird. Forget Cat Ear Girl and Naruto Run Boy (no judgment; don't get me started on my own teen years) — these kids did something so shocking that they became genuinely infamous. Here are 33 stories about *that one kid* from school that people still talk about to this day.
NOTE: There is a mention of animal cruelty. 1. "He made a VHS tape of himself shoving a plastic toy fish up his asshole, then gave the video to another kid whose mom gave it to the principal.
The whole school found out and called him 'Fish Fucker.' He transferred to a different school shortly after." — u/Anteater_Reasonable 2.
"He baked a cake for the class. It was nobody's birthday or anything. The weird kid just baked a cake and brought it in.
The teacher confiscated the cake and brought it to the teacher's lounge instead of throwing it away. Another teacher had a slice, and the kid's pubic hair was baked into the cake. I never saw that kid again.
" — u/enad58 3. "He had just transferred to the school, and to introduce himself, he said, 'What's going on everyone? I'm ___, and I fucked my step-sister,' thinking that would gain him popularity points. His step-sister swapped schools again not long after because it was apparently true.
" — u/Alarming_Composer_84 4. "He was an odd kid in general: quiet, hardly even spoke to anybody. He carried a huge duffel bag at all times.
When he sat it down on the floor by his desk, he kept a foot on it constantly. Rumors about what he had in that bag circulated, but nothing ever came of it. Once, somebody tried to get his bag, and he flipped out, screaming at the kid and smacking his desk.
His voice went really deep, like growling, instead of yelling. The kid was purple in the face when he finally calmed down. Seeing this, you knew it was a different level of anger.
Definitely not kid's-been-teased-and-had-enough anger. Something was wrong." "Anyway, we graduated.
I forgot all about him until, one day, I read the paper. He had murdered his father and stepmother. During the attack, his dad got a gun and managed to shoot the kid, killing him, and then the dad died from his injuries.
There were three total deaths. The kid had spent time in psychiatric hospitals off and on. It made me think back to that flip out and remember how I knew something was off, even then.
" — u/just_some_dude828 5. "In high school biology class in grade 10, he stole his fetal pig from the classroom after dissection. He kept it in his locker for several weeks.
He then took it home, boiled the skeleton until all the flesh was gone, and brought it back as a pack of bones. He put the skull on a chain and would wear it. He ended up going to jail for murdering his girlfriend in his early twenties.
" — u/idog99 6. "We had a German foreign exchange student who dressed like Willy Wonka and carried around pies. For a while, I thought the only English he knew was, 'Do you like pie?' He was weird as shit but always smiling, and the pies were good.
" — u/Mdanor789 7. "He taxidermied his childhood cat that, as far as we knew, died of old age and natural causes and then brought it to school to show the teacher he liked. Ah, high school.
" — u/ThisIsTheTimeToRem 8. "He wore a suit to school. Skaters made fun of him.
He blew up one of the kid's lockers. Years later, the suit wearer went missing, and they found the largest drug manufacturing facility ever and tons of weapons at his shop in Philly but never found him." — u/Coonpath 9.
"They sent Ronald McDonald porn to every kid in the year's school email addresses. 🥴" — u/bmiranda3 10. "I had a kid at my high school that came to school every single day dressed as Link from Legend of Zelda, sword and everything.
Everyone knew him. However, for some reason, he got along great with everyone. In the hallways, I always saw people giving him high fives, saying hello, etc.
Against all odds, he seemed wildly popular with every person in the school." — u/probablyalreadyhave 11. "He brought a dead squirrel to school when the art teacher asked everyone to bring in something 'from nature.
' Several years after high school, he shot and killed a guy with a shotgun over a game of dice and is now in prison for life." — u/Nspradley02 12. "Ronnie had always been a weird kid.
He was adopted after supposedly a pretty rough childhood, and in hindsight, he was just acting out. He was basically the token bully/bad kid all through my elementary school years. Then came sixth grade.
Mrs. Shegogg kept several doves in cages as class pets. One morning, we were all lined up to leave homeroom and go to our classes, and Ronnie was unfortunately right next to one of the dove cages.
He opened the cage, grabbed the bird, and completely skewered this poor bird with a pencil. Feathers and blood were everywhere as the bird flopped — or attempted to flop as well as it could with its wings pinned to its body. Mrs.
Shegogg was in tears. ..
. Today, he's actually fairly well adjusted and living a blue-collar life." — u/alek_hiddel 13.
"I was friends with the kid in grade school, Joe. Joe was losing his baby teeth. He had a crush on this one girl, Karla.
He ran up to her in the playground to show her how loose his front teeth were. She called him gross, so he punched himself in the mouth and knocked out two of his baby teeth. He then chased Karla with his teeth clamped in his tiny, bloody fist, screaming, 'How do you like me now?' He was my hero.
He was sent home. The next day, he came back to school with the two teeth in a tiny box. He was later sent home for shooting the teeth through a straw at things during class.
He would retrieve the teeth, rinse, and repeat. What a menace! He is now an MD, happily married, but not to Karla." — u/CenturianSasquatch 14.
"One girl was 12 and pregnant, and her mom was 24. Her baby daddy then killed a 7-Eleven clerk with a shotgun and made national news cause he said he wanted to know how it felt to kill someone." — u/Ambitious-Compote473 15.
"Dale wore only black T-shirts and camo pants every day. Had bug eyes and was small, even for a fifth grader. At our annual required school play, he chose (in front of the entire school) to play the kid who gets hypothermia.
He stumbled all over the stage, stripping off his clothes because he was 'so hot' and the teachers couldn't catch him. He fell off the stage into the kindergartners with his pants around his ankles when he finally dramatically 'died.' Legend.
" — u/Lurker_the_Pip 16. "He would put his graded homework into a Dasani water bottle with pens, let it marinate in his desk over the weekend, and sip on it the following Monday..
.he did this multiple times." — u/rebeclectic 17.
"We had a foreign exchange student who was pretty awkward, and a kind girl bought him a blue Powerade when he forgot his wallet one day. A week later, he returned the bottle to her full of cum. We didn't see him anymore.
" — u/AJShoes9789 18. "He would unwrap condoms, fill them with yogurt, and leave them around the school." — u/flyingcircusdog 19.
"The weird kid at my HS got into an argument with a pretty popular kid; the popular guy wanted to fight. The weird kid told him that if he won, then he would get to keep the popular guy's thumbs. They didn't fight.
" — u/amature_lover 20. "We had a kid that would casually snack on crayons for dessert after he had eaten his lunch." — u/szechuan_smoke 21.
"He called in 14 bomb threats in a row because he wanted to hang out with his girlfriend. I even got to meet the FBI." — u/Bingohead 22.
"He got caught fucking the couch in the drama room. (Before anyone asks, no, I did not go to high school with JD Vance). 😆" — u/shadow2087 23.
"This guy used to let people kick him in the nuts. There would literally be a line of a dozen or so people each day who would kick him in the nuts." — u/CoollinMann 24.
"One dude ate a lunch box of ground coffee every day for lunch. No drink. Just the powder.
And this was at nine years old. I still sometimes wonder if he survived childhood." — u/imbatatos 25.
"He was into anime when that was very much seen as for losers. He always wore a Sailor Moon shirt. During a middle school dance, the last song of the night was 'My Heart Will Go On,' which I guess was his favorite song, and he started slow dancing with his arms around an imaginary partner.
I hope he's had a good life." — u/Livid_Parsnip6190 26. "He inserted his member into a hole in a tree and proceeded to do the deed with the tree.
This happened during lunch, so a lot of folks had to be witnesses to that. We were in high school by then, but he already had previous instances of taking care of himself in front of others during middle school." — u/BeatRick 27.
Finally, we'll end on a long one: "I sat next to a kid in computer science in like 10th grade who was ...
usually pretty reserved, but easy to irritate, and on the one or two occasions he got made fun of enough to explode he started screaming about his condition called 'blood-vision' where he loses all control and tears apart everyone around him. When people would laugh at him, he'd storm out, saying it was for everyone's protection." "I kinda felt bad for the guy.
I was a semi-popular dude and tried to extend a helping hand by asking him questions about things he was into and about his 'condition.' He said it was a congenital disability that plagued him all his life and that it was passed down from his mom. But that it helped him with his duties as a werewolf hunter.
I dialed back on the questions and kept an arm's length, but I really was careful about not pissing the dude off because this was post-Columbine, and he had that thousand-yard stare. Anyway, after that semester, I didn't see much of him (we'd nod politely in the hallway), but I ended up in a class with his goth sister, and — wouldn't you know it — she was a vampire hunter. I didn't get close with her, but I remember overhearing her go into great detail about her sacred duties and how she was the only one keeping everyone safe.
Then...
one day, I was doing the office assistant extra-curricular thing (the office has glass walls all around), and a commotion started outside. People were gathering around, and I couldn't see who was in the middle, so I went to see if I could scope it out, but the AP told me to sit still and locked the door from the inside. I eventually saw that the dude was getting wailed on by some other kid, and the sister was on the side yelling with her eyes closed (presumably casting spells).
Security showed up, kids were hauled off to their respective offices, and the calamity died down. And then, I shit you not, their dad shows up for him in a fucking wizard cloak and weird hat. He had a shortish gray beard and walked with a weird gaunt.
I only saw him for a second from my AP's office, but I wasn't the only one, and we all talked about it for weeks. I don't remember if that's the last time I saw them, but shortly after, they were both gone from school. I always felt bad wondering how fucking awful their childhoods and subsequent lives must have turned out being raised by that man.
