Once I had a an argument with the entire class whether or not ligers were real. They seriously didn't believe me, called me stupid, told me I was dumb because I believed in ligers from Napoleon Dynamite. The braniac in the class said it was biologically impossible for lions and tigers to breed because of their DNA or something along those lines. I felt very defeated. I couldn't believe my entire class never heard of a real liger.
So any of you guys got some stories from high school?

Deciding roughly 2.5 hours before tryouts my senior year to memorize my opening statement for Mock Trial. I ended up pulling it off, and in the actual competition I got the Best Attorney award for my trial. (3-5 minute opening statement was what I memorized) Watching the football team make it to the state final 4 my freshman year. Taking a photo at a presidential rally in 04 that ended up getting in the school newspaper and winning one national and two regional awards for it. (which ended up with me getting my first DSLR which got me started into doing "real" photography and where I am now with it) In the stands at a football game my freshman year and a girl in the group I was standing with raised her shirt to rehook her bra and she said "it's not much but they're all natural" which somehow has remained stuck in my head all these years. (along with a friend's home phone number from freshman year for some reason) Getting into many, many political debates with my Latin teacher that would throw the class off the tracks for the rest of the period many times.
