People are sharing stories of how big a loser they were in school and it will take you right back
It started when Buzzfeed journalist David Mack decided to share how big a loser he was in school.
how big a loser was i in high school?
i didn’t get chosen to be on the school newspaper committee, but i just turned up every week anyway and eventually, after several months, the teacher felt sorry for me and put me on staff— David Mack (@davidmackau) April 16, 2018
And he decided to find out if other people had similar stories to tell.
please share with me your best stories about being a fellow loser in high school https://t.co/qteaXagNgR

And just in case they needed any more encouragement, he decided to share some more.
i’ll keep going: in year 7, the science teacher fed a live mouse to his pet snake. the other boys thought it was v cool but I burst into tears and ran away bc my pet mouse had died recently.

For most of my high school years, we didn’t have a newspaper. So my friend and I wrote and distributed our own tabloid with fake stories (alien abductions, etc) until they started a paper our senior year. I think we annoyed the administration into submission.

I started falling behind in school 10th grade and my guidance counselor called my mom to say ‘watch out he is probably doing drugs.’ Her response? “My son doesn’t have enough of a social life to get them, let alone do them”

In an attempt to pass as straight, I tried to kiss a girl I liked, but over-played my enthusiasm. She told everyone I kissed like a vacuum cleaner – for the next 18 months the common room was decorated with cartoons and the Hoover/vacuum pages from various catalogues.

A week before our final exams, a teacher came into the sports Hall and caught 7 of us recreating the Royal Wedding, using a bedsheet as Kate’s gown. We were all 18 and I went to an all boys Catholic school. https://t.co/7f9gS2WfTM

Military school. I was doing a crossword at my desk and got up to use the restroom. When I returned someone had written “penis” in all the boxes. https://t.co/T6mfXezBkd
