My school banned getting up from the lunch tables to go get food. We legit had to ask and when my (then) friend di it, and got our entire table in trouble I cried when we I had to give up a āslipā (we had 5 slips a week, if u did something the teachers didnāt like you had to give one up.)

My school banned cards and I didnāt know that somehow so I brought a hockey card to show my friend I was gonna give him it for his birthday but that dumb teacher walks up and says in the most annoying voice āty you know the rules give me that cardā I said no and she yanked it from me like it killed her family and then she said the words that haunt everyone āyou wonāt get this back until the end of the dayā long story short it was gone for longer then a day and luckily I am friends with one of the most popular kids who knows high schoolers and he somehow got it back for me my school also banned them rainbow loom or as we call it rubber band missilesā¦ has the name suggests we shot people with them during test and made them get a zero on the test for talkingš

I AM in middle school right now (8th grade) and i can tell you confidently KANDI IS TOTALLY BACK. It's absolutely rampant in my school, and so are the I ā” boobies! bracelets/belts. I am guilty in participating in both of these lol

I remember when beyblades were banned. That was a sad day

middle school fads I remember (in order from 2015-2019)
-Rubik's Cubes
-Loom Bands (I'm pretty sure these got banned, but that might've just been within the whole 'no bracelets' rule that we had until it was changed to 'Maximum two bracelets')
-Sharpie Pens
-Pencil cases that looked like fizzy drinks cans
-Smiggle (Scented pencils especially, but if one of the girls – the boys never cared – had lots of Smiggle stuff then she was like. revered as a God or smthn)
-Pom-Pom Keyrings (Especially if you had a black handbag from Primark and put the keyrings on there)
-Fidget Spinners (We had a school assembly about those and they got banned – unless you had a reason to need them in order to be able to focus during lessons)
-Those really colourful fidget toys that idk the name of???? The ones that kinda remind me of bubble wrap (They also got banned)

Bro the silly bands ban created one of the most intricate black markets at my middle school š Kids would literally fill empty milk cartons with them to trade them in bulk, and kids would literally have lookouts making sure teachers weren't getting furious. I stg I think I made like $80 selling them lmaooo.
And don't even get me started on beyblade. The illegal beyblade battles behind the auditorium were extraordinary. Custom beyblades, intense betting, a booming trade economy. Crazy times.
The older I get, the more I realize that I learned more about the black market trade than anything else important in middle school š

@disableddanny96
October 14, 2025 at 1:01 pm
Yeah outright banning things is understandable, but ultimately misses the mark. Fads can be a good opportunity to teach kids about delaying gratification and time and place and what not. It should be a learning experience, not a hindrance to learning

Bey blades were frickin sweet I donāt care what anyone says

Middle school was awkward and weird for everyone. If it wasnāt you probably peaked in middle school and thatās just really sad

I remember when my brother got me into beyblade. The first series I found out about was the metal saga and I fucking love it. Honestly I hate the burst saga but my first beyblade was a burst bey because my mom didnāt know the difference (Bless her soul lmaoš) eventually I got my favorite bey Earth Eagle, and my brother got L-Drago and Striker. I still have both of my earth eagle beys. I also still watch the show cause itās so comforting to me<3 (I also have a comfort character from that showš„²ā„ļø)
I also love silly bands
