There's nothing like the perfect senior prank, but the lengths some teens will go to achieve it is striking. For some teens, being known as the person who pulled the perfect senior prank is really important. At many high schools, the prank is organized by dozens of people. And as the folks below told with their own stories, the results can be legendary and hilarious. Just don't get caught! A common punishment is not being able to walk in graduation, and no grad wants to miss that. It seems that…

There's something to be said about leaving things you don't understand well enough alone. We see this often in workplaces when some new-fangled manager comes along who doesn't understand the technical work of the people reporting to them; rather than seeking to understand (or admitting that they don't understand), they try to apply their existing mental framework to the situation—often with disastrous results. This situation is no different; when working with kids, you're going to find yourself…

Getting fired sucks; having your means of income suddenly dissipate leaves you in a pretty vulnerable situation, forcing you to dig into your savings in order to keep yourself afloat—which, considering how hard it is to save at the moment… probably doesn't leave you with a lot. Luckily, there's unemployment (if you uniquely qualify), which can help bridge the gap and keep you off the streets while you find new work, which your previous employer must pay a part of—unless they can devise a way to…

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977 , a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair si…

This mom is taking family participation a bit too far. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to share her story and ask for people's opinions , but she's definitely not going to like the answers she's receiving in the comments. As the OP, u/Thick-Studio-4277, shared in her post, her daughter Penelope is 12 years old, and she has a spring show that she was performing in. The OP didn't really take this show seriously, which is a big mistake on her part! Preteens take things like that very seriously…

Karens with a thin grasp of the law are especially tiresome to employees working who deal with it, and this includes reporters. In this case, OP was working at a small newspaper as a reporter. OP received a (surprise, surprise) complaint from a local Karen who was absolutely livid that her name was mentioned in an article OP wrote. To put things in perspective, OP mentioned Karen's name in passing, so it wasn't like OP quoted her, defamed her, or did anything else that may elicit such an angry…

Sometimes, in the effort to save $1, you lose $10—like when you buy an older bicycle, but it turns out, with all the work needing to be done to it, you should have just bought a newer one instead. Life's like that sometimes, and if you're trying to dig up ways that employees are screwing you to save money, you'd better be darned sure you're not actually screwing them, or else that might cost you—big time. When the administration tried to tell this teacher that she was having her hours docked fo…

It's so unfair when you go out into public and the public is there.

The best lessons in life often can't be planned for and sometimes are born from the mistakes of authority figures and the limitations they place on you. These limitations can create situations that require creative solutions to overcome them, sparking inspiration that can lead to new pathways and ideas. This guy shared the story of his days at school, being trapped there without any access to the delightful flash games of the early 00s thanks to the school's overbearing firewall. As idle minds…

If this doesn’t serve as proof that teachers should be paid more, I don’t know what else could. These teachers not only did their jobs, but they brought a sense of humor that clearly made going to school genuinely enjoyable for them and for their students. From clever extra credit assignments to Pi-day mustaches to Yearbook pranks and Halloween costumes (stay tuned for the Despicable Me -inspired look), these teachers deserve a round of applause for their commitment alone. Sure, we all had a fe…

Truly, how did these people ever make it through school without knowing such basic information? In this incredible post to r/AskReddit, one person asked people to tell them all about the dumbest people i n their lives. And thousands of comments rolled in, sharing hilarious stories of people who made all kinds of goofy mistakes. While some of the people in these stories were children, a decent amount were adults or teenagers. It's really surprising how someone tells you an incorrect random fact…

Think of your worst teacher ever, and imagine the satisfaction of getting them fired. Well, this kid lived out everyone's dream, as he shared in a popular post that garnered plenty of praise for him and condemnation for his teacher. He basically had a teacher who would constantly put him down, including with some horrific insults that are just straight-up bullying. So he decided to get back at her using her own words, and it turned into an absolute s***show for the teacher , Ms. Frank. Check ou…

I mean, he was just following the grading policy!

Lots of people start working between the ages of 14 to 17, depending on which US state you live in. That's the age when you can finally get your working papers , and join in with your cool friends who have jobs. Then you start a minimum wage shift and it's rough! You start to wonder why you were so eager to start working in the first place. This teen has a common problem with holding a job while you're still in high school : the scheduling is insanity. As she writes, she's had to change her sch…

We've all had those moments as students when we sit in front of an exam and have absolutely no idea how we're going to get through this one. You're staring at the page, thinking about the fact that you didn't study and all the hours of procrastination from last night. But there's nothing you can do about it at this point. Sometimes, you just have to lean into the fact that you're not going to do well on this, so why bother pretending that you know what you're talking about? These students deser…
