me and a friend saw Kids in the theater. we were 15, so of course we laughed at a bunch of poo poo and goddamn did everyone- we were the youngest there by at least twenty years- glare at us while we were waiting to get picked up

We had cops come to our school and show us different street drugs. I remember them showing marijuana, cocaine, heroin, PCP and maybe mushrooms and MDMA. The message was “all of these will ruin your life”; there was no nuance about the different effects, harms, or abuse potential. Lots of classmates started discovering weed shortly after that, and I wonder if anyone internalised “hey if weed isn’t so bad, maybe those cops were exaggerating about the others”.

Kids is one of those movies you watch once in your life and never have a desire to revisit again.

I got a detention for making jokes during the beach landing in Saving Private Ryan. I also slept through most of 13 Days, but the teacher forgave that because he also thought it was boring as gently caress.

i didn’t see it in school but i did watch it with high school friends around that age. the main thing i remember is one of the titular kids (Telly or something like that?) bragging about his fingers smelling like butterscotch after he had sex. that memory still gets triggered occasionally and i’ll always wonder if somewhere out there some ladies really do have butterscotch canals. i also remember playing earthbound around that time and i was a budding comedic talent so i entered “pussy” when the game asked you for your favorite thing. then when the game would tell me i caught a whiff of pussy later, i would think to myself “Mmmm butterscotch” and have a good chuckle.

I work with some guys that went to a Christian private school and said they had to watch this every Halloween (if you really want to watch this skip the terrible CGI 5 minute intro): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Zjm9VW6Sg highlight:  Whole thing is hilarious but would be terrifying to someone who is 10 and doesn't understand that all of these people are completely full of poo poo. Jeremiah Films, the guys who make it, still exist and I signed up to their website and it's just anti-sex ed videos and stuff, unfortunately in the "so bad it's good" category they were a one hit wonder

The satanic panic would be funnier if people didn't literally get locked up and lose years of their lives to that bullshit. I remember people in school talking about Kids, and the weird serial-liar kids would just keep making up increasingly outlandish stuff that happened in it, because none of them wanted to admit that they never actually saw it. When I finally saw it years later, it was just a movie about a little sociopath being a little sociopath. Basically someone took all those moral panic news stories about teenagers and rolled them up into a film.

We watched Veggie Tales whenever the teachers were bored. Despite being overtly religious, I don't remember it being terribly preachy.

We did watch a lot of scare-tactic stuff about AIDS though. Basically AIDS was everywhere, and if you didn't already have AIDS, you were going to get AIDS, and then you were going to loving die.

The standout moment of sex ed for me was one time when everyone was asked to write any questions they wanted to ask anonymously on index cards and hand them to the teacher, then the teacher went through to read them and one of the cards said "Can you get pregnant from standing in the river next to fish?" and the teacher was so incomprehensibly baffled by it that they couldn't even wheeze out a "No" for like two whole minutes

We spent half a year of music lessons watching musicals to learn about narrative music and theatrical composition (definitely not just because the music teacher loved them). I remember getting a detention for submitting an essay finding nothing of artistic merit in "seven brides for seven brothers". I got quite a few detentions in film-watching lessons. Never enjoyed straining to make out a bad VHS quality image on a 21" CRT from three rows back.

The world should never know. But my assumption was that they saw pics of sperm and thought they were just little fish and maybe big river fish could swim up there and get a girl pregnant too?

If I remember right they didn't even get reviewed by anyone at the school and were sent to some program that was forwarding them to first responders at ground zero, or something like that. I was always good at writing A+ essays an hour before class the morning they were due so I'm sure mine was fine

We watched a VCR tape of a live birth in Sex Ed class and like an after school movie the big tough guy in class went white as a sheet and collapsed. Hilarious.

I didn't see it as a kid, instead my ex insisted I watch it with her because it was one of her favourite movies. She proceeded to get drunker as we watched it and emotionally talked about how realistic.and relatable it was. It was a movie about people I specifically avoided when I was younger. I, uh, did not like it.

Another great classroom watch was my Spanish teacher's home videos of his vacations to the Dominican Republic. One of them was like an hourlong recap of his visit to the local cockfighting arena.
