A girl in my home town was always picking on this guy in her class, making fun of his last name, picking on his mom and his little brother, nothing physically, I think people just thought it was a bit of ribbing noThing so bad anyone felt the need to intervene.
Then one day, his family was in a car accident, and he was the only one to survive. When he came back to school, she said something like, “couldn’t even get dying right, (insert name she used to pick on him)” it was so bad after that she switched schools, but her reputation followed her.
She tried rushing a sorority in college, but wouldn’t ya know, the story followed her there too —Bangbangsmashsmash

He was a new kid but due to his looks, parents wealth, and sports aptitude he quickly became popular. Then he made the mistake of bullying a harmless kid who was on the spectrum and was basically the football team’s lucky charm.
They did not take kindly to that and he went from being the next big thing to being that kid no one wanted to talk to and he had to basically bribe people to keep them around. —amalgamas

They lost their place to a kind and warmheated sweet girl with a very sunny and positive vibe. Suddenly everyone was around her and not around the popular kid/bully.
Basically the students finally saw what they really needed —Lavley

i was the popular girl. developed full blown schizophrenia my sophomore year of high school and had a spiral that rivaled a hollywood movie. by the time i graduated everyone knew me as the weird, crazy witch girl who talked to herself and had no friends.
now i’m out of high school, stable, on my meds, with people in my life who love me, and i haven’t thought about popularity since. life is wild —batty_bates

tall, good looking, foreign exchange student showed up one year with a killer smile and some impressive soccer skills. Never thought I’d see school girls giggle and follow around boys in a crowd like they do in TV shows but this guy made it happen.
He abruptly stopped showing up one day after a few months. Don’t know 100% what happened, but the rumor was that he got sent back for putting some pretty serious racist symbols in a poetry/art project thinking it would be a funny joke. —HornedTwiddle

He was in my grade. We were seniors and it was the last few days of school. Him and some of his buddies (who were also popular but not nearly as much) decided to vandalize the school. At night they spray painted dicks and stuff all over the outside of the place.
They also sprayed the words “could have done worse” on the big entryway doors in the front. Well they got caught. Their punishment? None of them graduated. They all had to repeat the year.
Everyone thought they were idiots after that. According to one of my friends who was a grade younger many people would say “could have done better” to them in passing. —psychologicalfuntime

He made fun of some girl’s dead father (drug overdose). The other popular kids confronted him about how f—ked up that was and he lost all of his popularity. —SquallyRaptor69

Member of National Honor Society got caught cheating on a final exam, senior year. Their father bribed the principal by donating a car to be used for school activities, so that they would graduate.
Graduation day, every other member of NHS took off their rope before crossing the stage to accept their diploma. —xampl9
