Middle school teachers, what is the cringiest thing you've seen a student do?

1. There was always this kid that would go up to guys, shake their hands and deeply sniff their necks. One day a teacher asked why he did this to guys and all he said was "if I did it to girls it would be weird"

2. Saw a student write "boi pussy" on the whiteboard thinking nobody was looking.

3. One of the kids responded to questions like pikachu. Shame that a good kid is going to look back on those days with absolute horror.

4. My mom is a middle school English teacher. Once, a student snuck a bar of soap into her class, ate it, and proceeded to run out of the classroom and start vomiting. Apparently, he did it to impress his friends.

5. I will relay a short story that my 7th grade bio teacher told us. In that class we dissected a cow eyeball. The year before us, a student pocketed the lens of the eye (looks like a yellowish hard thing about the size of a peanut m&m). In his next class he stood up and swallowed it in front of everyone. Another teacher told me about a student he had who would come to school in different costumes (ninja, soldier, etc) and stay in character the whole day. I do not remember the details but there was an incident in which he threw throwing stars during a talent show.

6. I once confiscated what I first thought was a note being passed in class, but turned out to be a gay fan fic one of my students wrote, pairing two of her classmates.

7. I caught the student on Google search attempting to look me up. He spelled my name wrong & my name is very common so I wasn't worried. I sent him home since it was an after school homework club & then went through the rest of the history which included "boobs" "naked women" "Megan fox nudes" and "megan fox panties." One of the other students in the class kind of picked up on what was happening and mentioned that he has also been kicked out of the public library for similar reasons.

8. Had an 8th grade girl pretend to pass out because she was upset. She got written up for screaming that another girl was a "fucking bitch" in the middle of a science lesson. Then got upset when that other girl didn't also get in trouble for looking at her wrong. In the deans office she was so "upset" that she pretended to faint (complete with back of the palm to the forehead and dramatic exhale) and then laid on the floor until we were forced to call an ambulance. Before the ambulance came, mom walked in (she worked right across the street) and said: "Dammit Jennifer! We're not doing this again!" So evidently this was a regular happening around their house. At this point, the girl squinted her eyes open but refused to actually get up. When the squad got there, they checked her vitals and basically knew she was fine. They had to take her because we can't take chances with this stuff in schools. We all just kind of looked at each other and shrugged. So, yeah... That was cringy.

9. I had a student who would constantly butt into people's conversations, and when they asked him to mind his own business he'd stand up and proclaim "Nobody likes me! Everyone thinks I'm so annoying! Haha!" and he'd laugh while everyone awkwardly stared at him. Another kid literally told me one time that he would just act annoying so that he could impress a certain group of boys. They were not impressed.
