High School Stories
For my Year 12 Media class a requirement is to make a short film by the end of the year.
I have decided to create a comedy/drama about two best friends in love with the same girl. It is loosely based on what is going on with my life at the moment and inspired by films such as Juno and Garden State.
So far I have only have a basic plot idea and I need your help by posting some stories/incidents/moments that were funny, interesting, scary, weird, shocking, dramatic etc. that happened to you, a friend or just a story you heard, made up etc. in High School. Also stories from high school parties would be wonderful.
If it is something explicit please place it in spoilers and give a warning.
Thanks guys!

Alright, I'll bite. But firstly.... you do have friends that are willing to be in the film? Coz I used to make films in high school and often had problems getting people in front of the camera and more often than not ended up using family and even myself.
Anyway, the story I'd like to tell is called "The Curse of Valentines Day".
In all the high schools I went to (I went to four of them), if Valentines turned up on a weekday they used to sell plastic roses at the canteen for charity. Most girls bought them for themselves to feel better. I never did, mostly because I feel that Valentines Day is a fricking sham and an American creation (unlike Halloween which is technically European) and it's a day that makes a lot of young people feel bad about themselves just because they're single right now even though they could be really good people.
Anyway.... On this particular Valentines, yes I was in self-pity mood and was trying to get away from the craze of the day, which is pretty damn impossible if everyone's running around with roses and chocolates. So I decided to hang with some guy friends because if anyone, they would be the last to go on and on about the day. A girl I knew was also there with these three guys (one of which was a friend of mine) and all of them had given her presents for Valentines Day! That was sooooo the last straw. I told the three that they were real idiots frankly and this school is full of 2000 kids and they all picked the same girl. A girl who was one of the biggest showponies I had ever met. One of the guys said to me that I mustn't be worth much if I didn't have any Valentines and I said, well at least I know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
Long story, short. She didn't end up with any of them. What's funnier is that a year later they all agreed with me.

My best friend goes to acting school on weekends. I'm hoping I can use him and his friends from there. Oh and thanks for sharing

Just let us know when you put it up on Youtube. I would like to see it when it gets done.
Yeah I'll create a proper thread for it. So far I'm just getting ideas.
Any stories of stuff happening at parties?
I haven't done much crazy stuff. I remember once I got pretty drunk and then told my friend's girlfriend that she was really hot and had really nice......things. She laughed it off but I was really embarassed after.
This has nothing to do with relationships but I turned into the talk of my jr year english lit class.
I was running late for school, had only min's to make it from my parent's car to class before the bell rang. Thinking I'd be smart I took the front steps two at a time and tripped, smashing my knee against one of them. Seeing stars and swearing I kept going, made it to class and forgot all about my little mishap. Until half way through the period when I apparently started twitching, smacked the girl sitting in front of me in the back of the head and passed out cold! I came too with the entire class looking at me and the teacher flipping out, asking me if I was on drugs(I wasn't). The school nurse showed up with a wheel chair and I was hauled off, my parents where called and I got out of school for a day or two. But not before being grilled because the adults present thought something fishy was going on, nothing was I'd simply hit the equivalent of my "funny bone" on my knee cap.
And I did apologize to the girl I'd socked, it was my attempt to keep myself up right in those crazy tiny seats they give you to sit in.

Don't really have any party stories. I never went to parties in high school mostly coz I was a nerd and was never invited and on top of that, have only been tipsy not drunk. After high school before I turned 18, I went to a couple of parties but since my 18th, I've been out clubbing or dining out. I have a couple of 21st's to go to this year and even I have a 21st this year so maybe some interesting stories could come from that.
The only thing I can think of (this happened at a party before my 18th) is this one time when a guy friend, who was the host of the party got really really wasted and was falling all over the place. He kept telling all the guys (I do mean actual guys) that he loved them.... Believe it or not, a year later, I found out that he was a closet gay (closet only to his parents, not to anyone else). Who says you don't tell the truth when you're drunk?
Iv'e got a prank story and it's a pretty good one too...
When I was in high school I was in the marching band (hilliard darby marching panthers) 3rd best in the nation aa divison. (6th in the world) Anyways during my junior year in the band me and a good friend of mine who was a saxaphone decided to play a prank on the entire band the night before state championships. Ohio had a massive wind storm the days before state weekend and tons of trees fell throughout the night leaving the band field and path to it scattered with twigs, stumps and dead trees that were broken in half. Me and tyler were pissed off about how the practice that day went when tyler came up with the brillant idea of puting one of those dead trees up in the band tower. So that night I barely escaped from my house and jumped into tyler's jeep and we both headed out to the field to stump the tower. Now it was 1 in the morning and we were both cold alert and filled with sugar from the red bulls and adrenalline. I was freaking out and so was he because the band field is right besides a public road so a car could easily see two people on that field plain as day. We pulled on our ski masks and wearing all black sprinted onto the field and made our way to the tower. The tower locked up by a gate had a gap big enough for us to slip in and we did to test it which we succeeded. So we went out and found the biggest log we could find which was a massive mother f******. As we pulled and lifted the log to the tower we ramped it against the fence and pushed it over till it touched the tower. Now here's the hard part trying to stay hidden while cars drive by every two minutes and getting the damn thing up in the tower. As we started to push the tree through the stairway tyler yells down at me "holy sh*t I think I just saw somebody on the bike trail. I was too scared to move and got down as low as I could and held on for dear life. As me and tyler jumped to the ground six kids from davidson taking a walk appeared. You should of saw our faces, white as baby powder. We told them what we were doing and even asked them if they wanted to help. They were more than interested and we were able to fit the tree through the stairway and stand back to admire our handy work making operation lumberjack an incredible but unbelievable success. To this day that prank has never been attempted again.

I haven't written anything yet but I plan to have the majority of the film at a party so any party stories would be greatly appreciated. Things with getting girls/boys or getting rejected, gettign drunk etc.
I once went to a party of a guy who I wasn't so crazy about in High School, and I did what is called an "Upper Decker",then left. Now for those of you who don't know what that is, it's when you lift the tank cover of the top of the toilet...(wow, it really is the sound the Ark cover coming off, great job Ben Burtt!!!...) and take a s**t in it....Then replace the tank cover, and quietly exit the house...
In Freshmen year I got a detention by my hot science teacher. I had to help her pull stables from packets and stuff. Well I happened to drop a staple and I bent over and FARTED near her face. After the stench hit her nose I was free to leave....true story.

Oh my god i couldn't stop laughing after this one I've got some good ones like this but they might not be appropriate for this message board lol unless.....
Here's one; I took a $5 dollar bill once droped it in the pot took a dump in it didn't flush and walked out. Well after a guy walked in and came back out I went into the stall and the $5 bucks was gone. I almost pissed myself laughing. It might be $5 bucks gone but it's worth it to see people's lust for cash go to the extremes lol
