Almost everyone has memories of a distinct incident that happened at their high school that was scandalous, criminal, or just really weird. That happens when you put hundreds of teenagers together, who try to impress each other without thinking through the consequences. The one about the bats stands out, as related by maceylou:
"My high school in Florida had a bat problem. The school was tired of cleaning up bat poop, so one winter evening after the bats left for the night, they covered the openings where the bats would go (this is illegal in Florida). The next day, students arrived to find frozen bats all over the ground, unable to move. Here’s where the real stupid happens..."
"Some students thought this was so cool, so they put bats in their pockets and went in to class. After about fifteen minutes in the nice, heated classrooms, the bats started defrosting and WAKING UP. So bats broke loose of pockets, biting the students and flying around. Later, any student who came in contact with the bats was required to get a round of shots."
Yeah, this may have happened last year or decades ago, but it's the kind of thing you will never forget. Read 16 outrageous high school incidents at Buzzfeed, with more in the comments.
