These individuals took to Twitter to share their stories of how they got into trouble at school, often for absurdly silly reasons.

At one point or another, many of us have found ourselves entangled in trouble at school. Being sent to the principal’s office, having your parents called in for a chat with the teachers, spending time in detention, and so forth, isn't exactly the best experience during childhood. According to Dr. Dan Siegel, a renowned child psychiatrist, "Children often test boundaries as a way to understand their environment and assert their independence." Truth be told, it can be quite scary for most people. However, you usually have to do something silly or irresponsible to even reach that point. School can eventually become exhausting and tedious for many children. So, it is no surprise that they constantly think of ways to annoy one another or their teachers. Little acts of rebellion or silly tricks against the school establishment aren't necessarily bad as long as there is a balance between being educated and acting up. These individuals took to Twitter to share their stories of how they got into trouble at school, often for absurdly silly reasons. From rescuing and freeing lab frogs to chilling in detention without actually having detention, below are 35 situations where individuals found themselves in trouble at school due to something senseless. Keep scrolling to see the entire list, and get ready, because there are some really funny ones.

At the very least, there is always one teacher at every school who seems to make a special effort to punish or reprimand students for doing almost nothing. In any case, that doesn't just apply to school; it could also be your relatives or your employer.

So, school, in a way, does to some extent prepare you for life by teaching you how to deal with individuals outside of your comfort zone.
