Answer 2

I wasn't a real trouble maker in high school, but once, a bunch of my friends and I ditched the last two periods of the day, and went walking around these hills near our school. There are some houses out there, and I guess some other kids who were ditching (not me and my friends) had been setting mail boxes on fire. Anyways, so I guess our vice principal heard about it and was walking around the hills looking for these kids.
When we saw him coming we were sitting under this tree- and totally freaked out and dove to hide behind some nearby extremely tall grass. What we didn't realize was that under it was a complete muddy swamp (it had rained a couple nights before).
So there we were- crouching in this tall grass, waist deep in mud, when we realize that we all left our backpacks under the tree.
The v.principal of course spotted them and we got caught.
They first thought we were the kids setting the mail boxes, so we had to get questioned by the police, but after they caught the kids who did it, we had to go back to our classes in our muddy clothes. And we all got 2 weeks detention.

It was all kinda fun actually- especially goofing off in detention.

I told that story in a college speech class for my "funny experience" speech, the teacher loved it. LOL

Oh, and I graduated in 2001, but I was a sophmore the year that happened.

Answer 3

Well, mate. I was a teen in the 90's. I listened to a lot of loud music like AC/DC, Pearl Jam (Best bloody American band) and alot of arena rock and INXS. I didn't get along well with my parents because they got divorced and I didn't like my new dad. I always did well in school because I didn't want to bloody ruin my future. When I was 18 I did steal a car, mate. Crikey was that stupid. During college I went to Amsterdam were I ran into the problem known as weed. I try ed it once and had a terrible experience and I never did drugs again. G' day to ya, mate.

Answer 4

I was born in 1960. So, my teen years were through the 70's. I was constantly in trouble for playing truant from my (all boys Catholic) school. I hated that place.

No probs though, I still went to University, I got 4 degrees (including a Ph.D.) and I am now a University Professor.

Answer 5

That would be the 80's and it was a prank phone call. Left a dirty message on an answering machine and they knew it was me and let my mom listen and I got grounded from a trip with my friends family. I was always a little L7 so I didn't get in a lot of trouble.

Answer 6

I was born in 80, teen from 93-99, and in 1997, I got pulled over with no license, driving a "borrowed" car, messed up on drugs and alcohol, got thrown in "jail" (custody) for driving without a license and DUI (driving under the influence) Cost me (and by "me" I mean my mother around 5000-6000 dollars to keep me from going to jail.

Answer 7

In 1968, I was 16, and an old lady down the street from us, reported that our dog bit her. Our dog was the friendliest in the neighborhood and never bit anyone. But we had to get rid f our dog, so I organized the neighborhood kids, and we picketed her house. The police came and said the old woman wanted me arrested. But, the cops talked her out of it, and I had to give her a formal apology. Anyway, I was told to never picket again, or I would be arrested.

Answer 8

I got pregnant my junior year....had the baby in the spring of 1990. That was the worst thing I've done, but I don't think it's all bad. He is now a wonderful, 16 year old boy. It's been great raising him and his brothers. So, maybe to some standards it was bad, but it turned out just fine in the end.

Answer 9

I was a teenager from 1976 - 1982. The worst trouble I got into during that time was definitely in 1982 when I got married! Biggest mistake of my life.

Answer 10

Right is right and wrong is wrong. It doesn't matter what decade. The truth never changes.

The worst trouble a teen can get into is disrespecting his parents and himself by being lazy and selfish. That will pretty much cover everything.

Answer 11

I was a teen in the late 90's early 00's. I wasn't a bad kid, so the worst thing I did was get drunk with a friend when I was 16, next day I told my mom I was sick, and she knew I was drunk and made me go to work hungover.
