23 People Witnessed Horrible Mental Breakdowns

13.

Back when I was in college, there was a girl in my English class that got into a shouting match with the professor over the correct pronunciation of the word “Newfoundland.” This girl was screaming calling the professor an idiot cause he didn’t pronounced it “New Found Land.” She wouldn’t have it any other way. When the professor humored her and asked the class to raise their hands if they thought he was pronouncing it correctly, everyone around her raised their hands. She began screaming like calling everyone an idiot and she dropped on the floor and began to roll begging God to punish her enemies. Campus security dragged her out the class screaming and yelling then the professor continued with his lecture as if nothing had happened. We never saw her again.

We had a teacher in middle school who was basically a huge pushover. It was well known he didn’t know how to control the class and obviously little shithead 13 year olds took advantage of that. Anyway, one day he snapped and throw a chair through the window panel next to the front door of his classroom. Never saw the teacher again.

My good friend had a panic attack and couldn’t recognize us or herself, like she didn’t even remember her name, and she was bawling her eyes out the entire time, most fear I’ve felt for someone in a long time.

I was in 4th grade. Our class along with two others were in P.E. all practicing cool tricks on the jump rope. The teacher calls us over and we all sit and watch her show off some cool tricks. As this is happening, a kid wraps the jump rope around his neck and pulls it tight, causing him to choke himself with the jump rope, turning dark purple in the process, and screaming “I HATE MY LIFE!” through his coughing and gurgles. He was stopped and the school had to issue out a letter to all students about what happened and that parents should watch out for their kids. This kid went on to do more stuff, but that first mental breakdown he had was the worst for me simply because he was only in 4th grade. I can still see it in my mind plain as day.
