25 Unbelievably Stupid Reasons Students Got Into Trouble For at School | “Wearing a Cross Body Bag in High School”
Life is unfair and we learned that well in school. The school shows us a glimpse of the real world and how harsh it can be at times. The rules, disciplinary actions and teachers are not always in the right. Yes, there are some students who create a ruckus and some rules need to be in place to handle them. But many a time, students get into trouble for inadvertent mistakes, for personal choices and even for things they didn't do. Twitter user @RachaelvsWorld got curious and asked students, "What's the dumbest thing you got in trouble at school for?" Here are 25 of the stupidest reasons which landed students in trouble at school. When we can't change the schooling system, it's best to look back and laugh at the ridiculous side of it.

2. Pink pieces in hair
Had braids w some pink pieces in them, I’d had them before so I didn’t think it would be a problem
