    24 Pictures That'll Give You Mildly Traumatic School Flashbacks

    "You'll grow into it" – your mum as she buys you a blazer three sizes too big.

    1. Getting peanutted so hard it was almost impossible to undo the knot again.

    2. When you had to sit on the part of the bench with the stupid bobbly bits on.

    3. Trying to do any work on one of these crap tiny desks.

    4. When your mum made you wear these super unfashionable school shoes because they were "the only ones that would last".

    5. And also when she bought you a blazer three sizes too big so you could "grow into it".

    6. These gym mats that offered absolutely no protection, so it was like doing a roly poly on the wooden floor.

    7. Opening your bag at break time to find your banana looking like this.

    8. The school making you wear these when you did swimming in PE.

    Boys definitely drew the short straw.

    9. This happening ~literally every single time~ you tried to sharpen a pencil.

    10. Always getting in trouble because your uniform was slightly scruffy.

    The worst was getting in trouble for having your shirt untucked when you didn't even realise it.

    11. When someone borrowed your felt tip and then gave it back like this.

    12. Suffering the ultimate break time disappointment.

    13. Always having to wear these for PE for a reason you never really understood.

    14. The pure stress that was the Maths Challenge.

    15. When you got a brand new exercise book and then someone drew a penis on it.

    16. Or opening up a page of your homework diary to find a dick someone had hidden there months before.

    17. These rubbers – the blue end was supposed to erase pen, but actually it just burnt a hole in your page.

    18. When you spilt water on your crotch and everyone laughed at you for pissing yourself.

    19. Toilet roll dispensers which were impossible to get a decent amount of paper out of.

    20. And then hand towels which were in no way capable of drying anything.

    21. When one of these smacked into your thigh on a really cold day.

    22. School trip lunches, which always came in these bags and included horrible sandwiches and a bruised or powdery apple.

    23. When someone flicked ink on your shirt and you had to explain it to your parents when you got home.

    24. And the sheer awkwardness of being made to do this.
