Once I did a Scout parade at my local church. When we went inside for snacks afterwards, I ate all the biscuits. And I mean all of them.

Don't mess with me, kids.

The hell was he high on, crystal meth? Seriously, that's scary.

I first got pissed when I was 9, my brother let me have some JD, now we drink together regularly, I don't see anything wrong with that? We're not piss heads. ;) I first smoked when I was 12, I stole somethings when I was 12. Man I was bad. I'm still bad,but nowhere near that mich. I regularly Pirate films and stuff like that, but I don't even conaider it illegal anymore, who hasn't?

I don't get this?

I learned that Europe seems to be a much worse place for children than America in this thread.

I almost blinded a kid in one eye one time. It was.his fault though.

I'm saying its not that bad.

Ooh, I forgot the time I stole all them.school library books because I liked the Warriors series.

I have never pirated either film or music.

I have, but usually because I'm poor and/or can't find the film/album in question anywhere.

But I do feel bad about it. At least, I tell myself I do.

Took off all the extra, unnecessary words.

Hmm.


Well I've beaten people up a few times, but mostly it was in direct retaliation for them doing things to me or my friends. A junior threw a rock at my head, so I pushed him over, stole his shoes and threw them into a puddle of water. A girl tried to pull my skirt down and I elbowed her in the face. A couple of guys who came back from paintball and shot my friend in the leg as a joke got me to grab the gun and smack them in the chest with it. A guy tried to bash a gay friend of mine so I pushed him into a wall. This skeevy bastard who tried to feel me up on the bus got an umbrella to the face then the bus driver kicked him off, etc

Usual stuff.


Well there was this one time. Basically there was this teacher who was always bullying some of my juniors in middle school. He was always pushing them around, ignoring problems they had with other kids, and if he caught them "talking too loudly" (this was at lunchtime when everyone is yelling and playing and shit), he'd confiscate their hats, which meant they couldn't go out and play. And then he'd just lose the hat somewhere and not take responsibility, so these kids ended up having no excuse to their parents, who simply wouldn't believe that a teacher would do this. He was also irritating and constantly gave lectures to everyone about littering.

Then one day when I was going home early, I discovered this teacher smoking like a chimney just beyond school grounds near an underpass, leaving cigarette butts everywhere. So I came up with a plan.

What I did was, I found his desk in the staff room, collected the cigarette butts, and every day I'd sneak in and put the butts in his drawer. I kept doing this until the smell and the area around the desk got really smoke-smelly, and the staff noticed, but the teacher cleaned it up and avoided taking responsibility. He then transferred to a different school, thankfully. As he left the carpark for the last time I gave him the finger, but he didn't see it.

Probably the gutsiest thing I've done, since the staff room was tough to sneak into.

Whats so bad about it? If I like the film, I'll buy it on DVD. Not with music though, same quality.

So strike witch is pretty hardcore, huh?

I know you don't like pirating and shit, but how do you feel about used sales? I assume you dont like pirating because it gives the artist no money, not some economic BS reason.

Let's not turn this into a discussion about the ethics of pirating. Every single one of us is a hypocrite on this issue in some way or another.

this.

i did a lot of usual stupid shit as a kid. the only thing i can remember doing that others may interpret as 'bad' was when i was a teenager. me and some mates decided to rob a local petrol station. fuck knows why, i think it was because we wanted to 'prove ourselves' to ourselves, if that makes sense. plus all the fucking hormones. one of us had a balaclava and the rest of us just stuck bags over our heads with eye and mouth holes. plain clothes, no jewelry like ear rings and shit, and snow gloves.

three of us walked in late at night with planks of wood and any old shit we could find, and then just stood in there like fucking idiots, not saying a word. that was the moment when we realized we hadn't planned this far ahead and didn't know what to do once we were in there, we'd just spent all our time making the balaclavas and finding old winter gloves. the bloke on the till actually said to us, calm as anything, "can i help you?" which sort of made light of the whole situation. that made us snap back to reality, so we shouted a bit, took some fucking crisps and left. there was no car chase because we didn't have a car, and there wasn't even an alarm because we were so un-terrifying. nothing became of it. we were just shit. i laugh about it now, but it could have turned out a lot differently.

that is what happens when teenage boys try to be creative. Lichfield is fucking boring.

Back in school, when I was around 12, I used to sell sweets and the like for a bit of extra cash. It was great, I got a 100% return on everything I sold. Then I thought to myself, 'How can I make a little extra?' *ping* the devil inside me told me I should steal a load of 10p bars and sell them for 20p. Of course, stupid me didn't even stop to consider the security cameras all pointing at me. The next day I went back and was quickly shooed out by an elderly lady hobbling towards me as quick as she could, bless. That was probably the worse thing that I ever did as a kid.

Oh, and our favorite thing to do in school was to climb the school. It was so easy, although you couldn't get to the top of the main building you could get to the top of the art department, gym and canteen. My mate took a massive dump on the roof, just to say, 'Fuck you.' We got caught up there and I, knowing full well that we could get in trouble, had to think quickly for an excuse. "I lost my phone and we were just looking for it." all in all a fantastic excuse. The guy that caught us didn't belive me, of course, but nothing ever came of it.

There's more silly things but these were the ones that stick out the most in my head so I'll refrain from posting more boring shit.

I have never done anything because I'm a boring and tentative person. I've never smoked because as a flautist it isn't good. I drink small amounts with my parents sometimes, but I've never been drunk. I've never wagged school, save for when I had flute lessons that finished 10 minutes before lunch and I just didn't go back to class. I'm a virgin and I wouldn't consider that changing any time soon. I doubt I'll ever have the guts to touch drugs. My friends often leave the school in free lessons to go to a local supermarket, but I'm too pathetic to even go with them.

According to eye witness accounts, as a baby, I deliberately shit myself to spite my dad.
I'm not sure that's the kind of stuff you're talking about.

I existed

Now that you're old, do you shit yourself to spite your grandchildren?

Also, Strikewitch, your thing wasn't bad, it was fucking amazing! XD

I do recall having a Strike Witch-esque confrontation with a teacher.

My Primary school was small, about 30 children to a class and 6 classrooms. But because of the lack of spaces in other schools our school was quickly reaching it's maximum amount of students, so they would put the smartest Year 3 students with the year 4 students, 4 to 5, and 5 to 6. Well when I was in Year 4 (Aged 10), all of the year 3 students below would go swimming in the mornings, leaving us with a substitute teacher.
This substite was horrible. She'd just set us meaningless comprehension task in which we'd put things into alphabetical order, yell at us, and talk about her fucking chickens. I remember one incident where a girl started crying cause her dog had died that morning and she literally dragged her out the class by her hair.
Well, one time after she had left the room I went over to borrow a pencil from a mate, then nonchalantly leant back on a chair, I slipped and ended landing with a pencil in my neck from the pencil pot behind me. The amount of blood dripping down my neck was plain enough to see but when she came in and I told her she just said, "Don't be stupid and get back to your work." This really pissed me off so I let the blood from my neck run into my hand and slapped her across the face with it. She was never seen at my school again.

Still have a scar from that pencil pot. >.>
That's probably the worst thing I've ever done as a kid.

But that's not bad! That's fucking amazing, that's the sort of thing most kids don't have the balls to do, aged ten, that sort of thing just doesn't pop into your head because, at least from my experience, a primary school's main function is to make the kids too scared of authority to rebel, thus making them nice little conformists who will go on to be nice and factory-standard in secondary school, etcetera.

Admittedly it doesn't really work very well.

I had been playing alot of Abe's Exoddus and Abe's Oddysee. It felt like the satisfying moment where you continually slap a slig only to realise once you stop you're gonna get shot. Yeah, if not for the story of Oddworld I'd be a lovely little conformist. :)

That was amazing. I swear to god I never expected that! And you were in year 4!?

Yeah, I'm usually pretty tame. It's just people like that get me annoyed beyond belief. Cause she wasn't just wasting her time, she was wasting ours. I'm the only one who's aloud to waste my time by procrastinating. :P

You should really be quieter about procrastination.

I personally see nothing wrong with openly admitting one of my flaws. It's better that I admit them than give the impression that I'm perfect.

J_Dude, that's fucking amazing. I love this thread.

Now let's see the things I've done in the past... I have a lot of memories of when I was twelve, being a little shit, running around everywhere and causing chaos; just usual shit like swearing at teachers and yelling in class. I think it had a lot to do with being bullied a lot back then since I've never done any of that junk previously. I was in detention almost every week.

From 13 years onwards, I’ve been quiet and kept to myself. I have however been in a few fights mainly in terms of self-defence but nothing too major.

Just recently I went to a mate’s house with a few others for his birthday and drunk for the first time. I don’t remember too much of the night but I awoke the next day on the floor and my small school laptop on my face. I saw on the screen a bunch of messy code I vaguely remember writing the night before.
One was a VBS Script which opened MSPaint.exe under an infinity loop, which when executed, would no doubt fry the CPU. The second was a disturbing game I made based around Club Penguin, which was one of my tabs opened in Firefox. I even published it on Yoyogames.

That’s basically it I guess. Never had sex, never smoked (and never plan to) and have never drunk regularly.

MOD EDIT: The context of this first paragraph has been lost somewhat. This thread had gone off-topic and was discussing piracy, which has been split off to here.

Wasn't there another thread or discussion about the ethics of piracy a while back, especially with this ACTA and SOPA lark going on? In fact, didn't I start it?

Still, I just wanna say that there's some good stories in here, especially from J_dude - Teachers are meant to teach kids lessons, but I suppose that day you taught her a lesson instead - Like why she shouldn't be such a terrible supply teacher. Hope her disappearance from the school was because she got fired for negligence.

Anyway, I was a very stupid child, although I somehow managed to avoid being influenced by the wrong people or doing anything too bad - Just minor, tame stuff with friends or cousins such as prank calling insurance companies and takeaways from call boxes, exploring an abandoned (and derelict) mansion/old college building, and going into the woods to burn a few of my old toy cars using a lighter and an aerosol can/smash bottles using a catapult. Although that's all general pissing about like most kids do. Unless your childhood was sheltered and boring, who hasn't done stupid things like that?

The worst thing I did as a child though was this: My parents used to light bonfires to get rid of rubbish. I ran around with a stick that was smouldering on one end 'cause it was fun to watch it glow and make a trail of smoke, except I wasn't watching where I was going and my sister was oblivious to what I was doing - I accidentally hit her just below the eye with it and could have easily blinded her... I learned a good lesson about spacial awareness that day.
