High School Nostalgia That Might Make You Realize How Weird It All Was (30 Pics)

There are some things that happened in high school that we thought were completely normal that really, really weren’t. When you’re young, you don’t realize how serious some of the drama actually is, like that one teacher who got fired from your school or the girl who faked a whole pregnancy for attention. Times were weird but most likely everyone was too self absorbed to think about how crazy it all was. 

Here are some pieces of high school nostalgia that might make you full body cringe.
