30 Of The Funniest Responses To The Question “Why Was Your High School Weird?”

Remember your parents telling you that high school would be the best years of your life? However, they forgot to mention that it can also be somewhat weird (well, maybe that's what makes it the best period of your life).

High school is not just about learning (it has very little to do with learning, to be honest) but about socializing, getting to know the world around you, etc. That's why we don't realize how weird it can sometimes be. Basically, with limited life experience, we have nothing to compare it to.

As a student, you rarely question what is going on around you, and you accept everything as normal. Only when you graduate and compare your memories to those of others do you realize what a weird place it was.

"It's Hashtag Season!" Jimmy Fallon tweeted, "Tell us something crazy or funny about your high school and tag it with #MyHighSchoolWasWeird," which sparked a flood of stories from people's wild adolescent years.

We've chosen some of the greatest answers from this topic, ranging from "Bring Your Tractor to School" days to canoe lessons in a 20-foot pool.

This challenge on The Tonight Show was all about the things that made people’s high schools look straight-up weird. Jimmy Fallon was the first to share, “One time a swim meet was canceled at my friend’s high school because the pool ‘caught on fire.’ I still have no idea how that’s possible.”

Yet it seems that the people of Twitter have had it even weirder. Whether it’s mayonnaise bandits or “Dress Code Violator” T-shirts, some of these stories make us scratch our heads in confusion.

Ah, the good old days. We were enjoying first-class education, combined with levels of weirdness that would make even Weird Al Yankovic run away… priceless.

It is so sad we didn’t appreciate it back then. We couldn’t wait to graduate and grow up.

But, yeah, kids are not very smart…
