Last week, a high school graduation ceremony in Stone Mountain, GA ended prematurely after the valedictorian’s speech was accidentally skipped. As people began heading to their cars, Nancy Gordeuk, the school’s principal, approached the podium and attempted to keep them inside. “You people are bein’ so rude to not…
Today, somebody sent an angel to our inbox: a once-infamous pick up artistry manual that made the rounds in one very special-sounding Connecticut high school several years back. But could teens in a Connecticut high school possibly know about sex? you might be asking yourself. The answer, both now and throughout the…
So many things happened in 2009. President Obama was inaugurated. Bea Arthur and Michael Jackson both died. Swine flu was a global pandemic. It was also the year a pork roast that was recently served to high school students had made its first appearance. The vintage meat had been frozen for six years before it was…
Eight high school boys in Liberty, Missouri have been suspended for sharing nude photos of their female classmates on Instagram, Twitter, and in text messages. The 16 girls pictured in the photos weren’t suspended, just “verbally reprimanded,” according to Liberty Public Schools. This is becoming a huge controversy on…
As a rule, middle and high school are the most embarrassing times of a person’s life and school dances are where we experience the worst of it. Not only are we expected to move our awkward growing bodies in a way that’s deemed acceptable and graceful by other humans, but we’re also risking awkward boners, romantic…
The Oklahoma State Legislature is taking aim this session at the most serious issue plaguing the state: AP U.S. history, which is too "negative" and "leftist." They've been so busy with that, though, that it looks they're not going to get around to passing a couple other laws—ones that would have protected LGBT…
Taking their cues from Vogue and Paper, an all-girls high school retouched ID photos to make sure that their student body was looking fly as hell when flashing their papers for discount movie tickets and ice creams. But not everyone is happy with the extreme measures the school took to make their students look bammin'…
Nicki Minaj is known for her rapping, but it's no secret her first love was theater. And if she hadn't made it in the world of pop, she could (possibly) be on Broadway right now, throwing phones at people and fake-crying her way through monologues.
This story is getting to be disturbingly familiar: a widely-shared social media post in Albuquerque, New Mexico claims that a 15-year-old girl, a student at Valley High School, was raped at a party in early November by at least two men. Some versions of the post include what the original poster says is a still frame…
A physical education teacher in Stockton, California, has been charged with a misdemeanor corporal injury to a child after attempting to force a 14-year-old student into a pool by dragging her.
The audio on the recording is clear and crisp. The boy slurs his words slightly, but the sentiment is unmistakable.
Alex from Target—hot or not hot? Ellen says he's hot. The New York Times says he's hot. We are not saying whether or not he's hot because he is a SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD child and we are adults and also because we haven't decided yet. One thing that's for sure, though: he is not as hot as my high school crush Brian.
High school sucks for everyone, and First Lady Michelle Obama, wonderful as she may seem as an adult, was also a self-doubting tween like the rest of us — though she probably still got the "Best Arms" superlative nod.
Visual material can be really helpful in the classroom. For example the "Carol never wore safety goggles" poster worked for decades. Most of my understanding from science comes from Bill Nye The Science Guy videos. But when it comes to talking to students about a dress code, maybe don't show them a film about a…
A brave fighter for patriotism, liberty and cats just scored a major win.
It just hit me that we're deep into September, which means that Homecoming season has descended upon the high schools of America. So here's a pretty wonderful heart-warming homecoming story.
It's only been two weeks since school started at Tottenville High School in Staten Island and already, some 200 students, mostly girls, at a Staten Island high school have been sent to detention over various dress code violations. And now the students intend to fight back.
There are only two things that could get me to care about high school football. One is an episode of Friday Night Lights. Two is a group of real life vandals who sneak onto a high school football field and burn a giant dick into the grass with weed killer. Friday Night Lights is sadly over, but the story of the…
A high school teacher in Texas who was arrested at school was reportedly found with recipes for date rape drug cocktails.
Police at a school in Texas are being rightfully scrutinized over a brutal and blatantly excessive take down of a sophomore student.
