DO NOT make the mistake of thinking this is just a Boys thing. The girls while a bit less wild, did their own share of chaos. They were just smart enough to avoid the cameras. Boys take pride in their chaos.
@Memeking_Bob Boys always Chase clout and respect from other boys. That means needing to slay a dragon(the school), not suck up to your cell guard (teachers).
Ours used to lock doors so you couldn't leave, and could only go outside by asking a teacher or the janitor to open it and even then you had to state a reason. We could go through the windows, though
Same here. We took off a door once and used it to slide down the stairs, we also jumped out a window once to cut classes, jumped over the fence and gate countless times, had a whole in the fence that connected to the radio station next door and exited through there (until they fixed it), broke a few windows (not intentionally). Never had anyone go through the door, though so that one was new. And this was in CN Fratii Buzesti (which at the time was i think ranked as the 3rd best high school in the country and nicknamed Bastilia). 😅 good times!
Growing up in the 90s, smoking in the bathroom - check jumping out windows - check having guys trade with... basically everything - check hiding in the closet - check coming in late one by one or asking to go out to pee. ONE. BY. ONE. - check dilapidated, decrepit interior and exterior - check front row was paying attention while back row was playing blackjack or making goulash - check It was fun while it lasted but I don't want to go back
Making goulash 😂😂😂 we actually tried to cook “chips soup” which was boilig water and lays chips. We ended up having mashpotatoes. It was in 10th grade, biology lesson. 😂😂
The fences were to keep us in. No one was coming in, except from parents when the headmaster called them to pay for damages. 😅 Ps. The “Call of Duty” reference was a jab at the mass shootings in the US. He said, even with everything that was wrong in our schools, that was one thing we didn’t have to fear.
I'm from Poland not the Balkans but this video reminded me of just how many times I had to fight off this kind of idiots, so I could have some privacy in the library.
@MichaelMcmanhory-ms9mr Because in the last 10 years there were around 300 school shootings across 10 countries. 288 of them were in U.S.A. So yes for us it's frequent and often enough.
@@sebagab9795 You had a library!!!! In Romania I didnt even have that. The library was more like a mystical fairytale land that only the librarian dared to roam.( it was at thr very top of the building)
@@andico6614 See that's the beauty of it I was the only kid in school who spent every recces there, yet had to be strong enough to even get there. I usually could get away with just punching but sometimes I even had to bite my way through.
@@andico6614 it was a place I’d go to ditch class for naps or doing homework for other disciplines. Also from România. But snob as I am , I went to the best schools in the country and still had most of the things shown here.
11:37 Everything he is saying and presenting as video evidence is 100% true and something you would see in a Balkan school. He just presents it in a funny way that makes it look like it's a parody. It most definitely is NOT a parody.
Romanian here , these are 80% true because there was a lot more things than in this video. There wasn't just one or two bullies, everyone was a bully . Balkan schools make strong people 😂😂
I'm from Romania and I can confirm that most things are true, nowadays I don't know anymore, but when I was going to school it happens 15:45 AND THAT ,,BINE ESTI CUVÂNTAT DOAMNE" HITS ME EVERYTIME
@@StaK_1980 Here you go. In Romanian because Orthodox Churches don't use Latin, each Church have their own language to do chants and sermons and everything in the local native language. ruclips.net/video/pZJAQUVe3lw/видео.html
Something is wrong with us, the balkans (or we have another sense of humor).😂 I was watching the same video as you guys, but you were shocked and I was laughing.😅
Im Hungarian so not from the Balkans but went to school in the 90s and this video brings back memories. The school benches, the cold classrooms, the assemblies, all that.
I went to school I Hungary but my school was clean, tidy and never seen disorder to this degree. Teachers were strict but respectful as most of the pupils.
Some are more tame yes. I was lucky that my parents knew which were the good schools. But we often had reports of students beating up teachers. It was a mess and a half
He is on point, the schools were really like this in the 90s and early 2000s. Idk about today, but schools still seem like a crazy experience, but in a different way i guess.
we in 2020 made in school a shit bomb by using pee and cat shit. and other think like mustar oringe shell and what ever we find in the infimus hungarian toalets. i remember that smell it was so horrible! that the princible in the other side sensed it XDDDD but we kept doing it. this was in elementary school in 8 grade :D now we do fire experiments in middle scool with my new class mates.
Im from hungary and the only thing that changed is that the benches and chairs everything else is the same(Im from the worst county in hungary idk about the other counties)
As someone who grew up in the Balkans, the spiked fences are to keep you in not to keep people out.We had 12 foot walls with barbed wire on it.The school nickname was Bastille after the french prison
@@vicu_negru damn, we zoomers from 2000s didnt menage to preserve our traditions and culture that our Balkan ancestors from late 1900s were working so hard to create... 😔 We should be ashamed of our selfs, and work a lot with our kids, to not let them be washed up and unfulfilled like us... With this i promiss you Vicu_Negru that i will do everything in my power, to guide new generations to the right path! Il do everything i can to make them successful as you guys, or even more!
Bulgarian here. Playing cards is considered a form of gambling and it's prohibited inside the school. Well, take a wild guess who played belote and poker during recess? We also smoked inside the bathroom, had chair fights, drank alcohol during class (don't even get me started here) and many other things. Sometimes, I miss high school. Edit: I forgot about one thing - the amounts of times teachers or the cleaning staff caught students having sex in the locker rooms/bathrooms.
Being someone who went through school in the Balkans in the '90s (the worst period possible for our region), I have to say this video is hilarious. Well, first of all, he showed you all the worst stuff he could find from all over the region, doesn't mean it happened like that on a regular basis. But yes, some things were a bit like in the video, such as skipping school and finding... shall we call them "creative" ways to escape, like jumping through the window from the first floor (yea, we did that too). You have to understand, the level of poverty in the Balkans in the 90s and 00s was off the charts. Teachers were payed misery salaries, and when someone has a worry about how they'll pay for food and heating next month, they tend to worry less about school property. Undermaintenance was commonplace, because neither the central nor local governments had any money for any kind of comprehensive public works. There is no such thing as the PTA or parents organizations, like you have in the States. The "no girls" thing is not that we had boys-only schools, we had no such thing. But girls, being the more sensible creatures they are, did not participate in the madness we idiots created, and would just watch from the side. So when you'd film the most ridiculous stunt possible, the girls were likely behind the camera guy, out of harm's way. 🤣 The "counterstrike on the hallway on a monthly basis" was a jab at you guys, with your school shootings and all that, since we never had that particular issue. Still, have to emphasize it, school was far more normal than what was shown in the video. Those would have been the worst outliers he could find.
Indeed girls being far more fragile for the mayhem were usually just chatting while the boys were spending their energy on crazy things. But it was all cool, and super fun! And the best part, we did manage to educate ourselves, unlike many today that can't even read a book page without opening their smartphone.
OMG those are schools from 90's war sancions and when it was pointles to go to school.We all learn the streets games, not school games....what you looking is frustration of young in time of war with no school future to expect,what is left for us was street and criminal activities if you want to survive when from war everybody from 10years and u p have gun%knife or a bomb scorpion a kalas....false all clip
well for scientific purposes got to share my first hand experience on the subject. Onse girls from class threw ... something like: on set of in clotes lesbian movie cossplay. xD got to mention the man who got on the operator job with improvised camera, and the mic guy
From my experience, the girls would most often be the one filming. Guys would cause chaos, but girls were more often getting into fights with one another, physical and verbal.
As a Croat from a Highschool, I can assure you it's just as bad as you are told. We had chickens in one of our classrooms one day. Live chickens. Just chilling.
My high school had goats fishes parrots rabbits and a tarantula spider that went missing Best moment was when the goat would peer in from the window during class
Its based on who are the classmates im from slovenia and i remember that we broke a cuple of windows, set a lot of things on fire including my shirt i was wearing. I had to take it off and put it in the sink. and a lot of other things haha
Well, we did get hurt sometimes.. quite often actually 😅 one of my classmates lost half of his teeth while playing "lapte gros" after hitting a radiator. And let's not even talk about what happened when we discovered WWE in the fifth grade
@@DanGabriel09 oh man, not lapte gros. I think one of the guys in my class had to get stitches after splitting his head open on a desk while playing 😂😂
the video was so on point, from the environment, the bathrooms you had to squat on, the half&half walls, the broken cheap wood desks and the fences kids used to climb, the teachers beating us up was so real as well man the nostalgia is crazy rn. Its not propaganda at all
As for the girls... Our favorite game to play was throwing knives between each others bare feet. Or play the pinfinger game in complete darkness. We had disco parties in the bathrooms or just screamed like animals in the classroom. But there was never a big opposition between boys and girls, we did everything together.
Omg what kind of memories bring back to me this video as a romanian girl. And yes everything is true. The girls if they know is too dangerous or too stupidity they go outside. But the funeral hit me everytime 😂😂😂
As a Greek who finished school back in 2002, this video is bringing up a lot of memories. And yes, we are considered a bit of an outsider in the Balkans but we are still part.
as a hungarian student this is a really good introduction of the balkan schools. The part i miss is the changing room, the place where are no cameras, no teachers,(no rules) and lots of boys being absolute animals and evry week or so there were a beatdown, its like a small mma ring withouth protection or judge, sometimes it was ended with a bench thrown. as a student i still see these things, and yeah the school is not the place for learning, everything i ever learned is from my home from books or websites, not from teachers
Well its hard for people that are not from the Balkans to understand all that. As bad as it seems it was a way to kill all that boredom and release all that energy. Kids over there are super energetic and we cant stay still for hours listening to lessons in schools. So we had these 5 minute breaks after every class that lasted 45 minutes and a big break that was 20 min long. So when teachers leave for a break too we would do ceazy stuff like in the video so we aint bored and yeah kill that energy so we can survive sitting for next 45 minutes after the break. But in high schools it was mostly just running away from the class with your friends from the class or just entire class
Daa i svi smo jako bliski mislim da je to velika razlika kod nas i da zato stranci najpre ne mogu da razumeju, ali ono kad uvece blejis u skoli bukvalno kao da si kuci sa mojima
As a bulgarian I can confirm its true tho it varies and its not as bad nowadays but it was pretty much like that when I was in school from 2001 to 2012. A nother factor is if the school is in a big city or not. But some of the best memories were created in this enviroment.
Video is kind of over the top, but it captures the essence of Balkan school experience. Croat here, went to school from 95-07. So right after the war. Funding for school was shitty, pays were shitty, lot's of parents lost their jobs. Toilet paper and soap in wc was luxury in school. Smoking in 7-8th grade was normal, jumping out of window was also something that i witnesed on few ocassions along with police coming to school. And that was just in primary school. High school was where the chaos reached full potential and i went to fairly good gymnasium (think of high school that prepares you for university). In trade schools and vocational schools, it was one step better than juvenile jail by amount of crazy shit they did. Teachers aren't paid enough to give a damn, and so long as nobody ends up in hospital with serious injuries, principals didn't eather. There aren't really boys or girls schools except two catholic highschools in my town. It's just that some schools are full of boys ( mechanical and electronics techinicians, hvac technicians) and some are mostly girls (beautician, hairdresser). Today schools are slightly better due to better economic situation.
I'm from Bulgaria. 95% of this is true. In my school we also made flamethrowers, someone tried to make a bomb in chemistry class, the boys regularly roleplayed as swat attempting to get into the girls' bathroom, breaking stuff, throwing desks at each other, bribing the teachers, classes going to war, locking people and the bathroom and whatever else. There's so much.
Schools in Romania were like this 😂 I was Ivan for years, broke a lot of Windows while playing soccer, pranked every new Teacher with real snakes. It was a shit show. The bathrooms were holding on barely.
All that he said is true Mostly in the 90's and early 2000's that was common in smaller cities or villages but in the more "modern" cities it was a bit more calm, now in 2023 the schools are more tame though stuff like this still happens
Hehe, the channel you reacted it's Balkan banter dedicated... he speaks mainly on the crazy things that happens and makes them look like it's an everyday thing, but it's not, not all schools around here are like that, like in any other countries, some are good and some are bad.(but indeed the balkans do live up to their reputation, as always, in every single thing)
Nowdays schools are more nicer by looks but still kids be chaotic and to be honest parents dont know a thing what their children is doing,cuz if they knew it would be a problem cuz balkan parents dont play but is still fun tho being in a balkan school.
As a Romanian I can confirm these stuff happen. Can be worse though, some schools in the middle of nowhere have no sanitation or current water. The toilet it’s literally a latrine or sh**house outside the building (like you’ve maybe seen in old western movies), and imagine going for a number 2 in the winter: squatting and doing your business while your “jewels” dangle in the frozen wind. What a joy 😂 By the way, the scene with the funeral cracked me up 😂😂😂
These are all the worst that happen but NOT everyday(Balkan girl here 👋). As for the kid’s motivation, TEACHERS! We remember them ALL through out our adulthood the good ones and the “bad” ones. As for the class staff that kids do are mostly to prank teachers because they like them and they want to make a laugh. But you will never ever see shootings in a school! And for the most part of what you saw are just possibilities that can happen 😂
As someone from Romania, who did most of school years there, this is mostly accurate. we still managed to ditch classes sometimes if we gave ciggarets and coffee to the guy that was locking the gates. and most of the crazy stuff would happen in the 10-15 minutes breaks between lessons, which seemed quite a long time back then lol
5:11 be like that in most places in Europe. Especially the heat thing. Ain’t no AC in the summers and that’s the only thing that’s heating us up in cold ass winters. Even in are apartments. I live in Sweden - it’s how it be.
As a greek i can confirm that its a normal day in the balkans when students are hanging large olive trees in the class ceiling , breaking doors, peeing in bottles and mixing it with dirt and flass them into the walls in the hallway pretending that they are fire savers and basically destroying the classroom before the teacher arrives after 40 minutes lmao and after the arrival, this video is 100% true👍 welcome to da balkans💀
As a portuguese, an honorary balkan country, I can say a lot of this is also accurate, slightly more mild, but nonetheless true. Just appretiate the inventiveness of things, the wildness. Who comes up with simulating a bus in class, or bringing dead animals into the classroom, puting a pin in the teacher chair, or exploading lighters? But now seriously, I condemn the way the education system works here. I was in a public school from my 5th to 9th grade, from around 2004 to 2009. I can also imagine the frustration of teachers.
We played poker in the back of the class, smoked in the bathroom, jumping out the window was so popular they put prison bars on them. We'we broken a window before, stolen the teachers book (where they write grades), one class in my school super glued the teacher to a chair lmao..... good times man. So many great stories Im from Bosnia 🇧🇦
My homeroom teacher was chasing us around the clas to "discipline" us for being roudy. In the winter it would be warmer outised than inside the classroom i was. We turned a teacher's car upside down in the parking lot because she was the worst teacher you could see, we had teachers abusing us for no reason, we did have some fun and we were quite a bunch of devils but when those 2 good teachers came to class we were the best studensts out there. It really depended more on the teachers than the students. When you have comunist fosiles trying to "teach" you stuff, which was mostly their way of trying to control the system, you cant expect students to respect you or to want to learn something from you.
The worst thing in Greece there was a clips show. And they welcomed students to send crazy clips like this. Being proud of our downfall is so soulbreaking.
12:53 This song is a the intro song of my childhood. This is the intro song of „Magyar népmesék“ (=hungarian folk stories). The have over 1000 stories and every of them, some mystic some real, have an importent meaning for life. I recommend watching it if you missed out on it.
Montenegrin here. There was a lot of this growing up but what this video doesn't showcase is real connection between teachers(1-5grade for Montengro )and students. We had four class groups and all class groups would buy presents on women's day for teacher or on their birthday. Connection was there, just at the times we were crazy a bit, but not nearly like this on everyday bases. A lot of the times it was harmless and funny rather destructive(although we could go a bit overboard)
Romanian girl here. My mom had a rule while growing up: if you want to be a smartass, first you have to be smart. So as long as I had good grades and participated in different school activities, she would only be mad when I actually got caught 😂 But yeah, life was kinda like that. And it was fun to be honest.
I grew up in Croatia in the 90s during the war and I can tell you it was ROUGH. Pretty much any kind of crazyness except for shooting happened in schools on a daily basis. Let me try to recollect a couple of favourite memories 1) Second grade elementary school, kid walks in with live AK47 ammo he stole from his dad, throws ammo at other kids laughing 2) Sixth grade, kids throw bench out of the window during class 3) Seventh grade, about 20 kids get together during break and physically move a teachers car from one side of the school to the other 4) Seventh grade, older student pretends he is in class with us and the class is being taught by a substitute teacher that can't tell he shouldn't be there. He answers a question she asked correctly and demands to get the highest grade for it, she refuses, he says he'll jump from the window if she doesn't budge, she doesn't budge, he jumps from the window, she almost gets a heart attack. Plot twist, the window is on the ground level, but she didnt know that because she was a substitute 5) Last day of eight grade, kid throws chair at geography teacher as she is leaving the classroom, misses her, but hits the blackboard the falls down in pieces By the time we got to high school things cooled of a bit, but my elementary school was something straight out of Gangstas Paradise
01:50 was no anthem but but the title theme of "Hungarian folk tales" animated series running between 1980 and 2012. It was a banger, broadcasted throughout the V4 and Balkan countries.
That was the 1990s chaotic years. I was in school in 80's when we were still commies (ex YU). School building were in much better shape. Teachers had a lot of leavy how they treated their students. One had a habit of banging a students head into the board. Yep she had a peacefull schoolroom. We also had a teacher that was a sniper with a piece of chalk. She could hit across the room directly in head. And in my times you did anything for not your parents to find out. The only result would be the dad go on "you are putting our family to shame" tirade and do some additional reinforcing of discipline. Same was when cops would take tyre valves of your moped (most of us learned to drive them by 12) if you did crap on the streets their ussual was giving you some discipline in form of a slap, taking the valves and saying to "send your dad to get them back" yea nobody did send his dad. They just dumped them at the only gas station in town and we all knew that to get them you had to push your moped on empty tires and plead for the valves (they just gave them to you if you filled up the moped). Different times.
I mean, if you want to go to the nearby store to get something to eat or drink, you'll have to jump out of the window and the fence at some point, when the gate guard is butthurt and won't let you leave. 🤷♂ But for real, the stuff in this video is about the mid to low level schools. The ones in bigger cities/better neighbourhoods, still had the chaos, but turned down quite a bit, and the school wasn't in pieces and mostly clean.
@@NikoCigoj it was the typical cheap ex-statemafia owned security group. It's full of them everywhere, I doubt it was that much. We were also in the capital, so that helped with some funds 😂
The lady is so sweet, she would be crying in 2 minutes with my old post war generation. We used chairs as balls, I'll give you an example. "Alo Ivane vataj" and a chair would be launched to Ivan and if he doesnt go and grab it mid air. He is a (insert animal, neighboring nation or homophobic slur).
Yeah, and all of our chairs had metal legs. It was like 4 spears coming at you. Boy, that's how furniture should be built. It suffered through generations of abuse and was still functional enough that we were expected to sit on it and pay attention.
As a balkan . It's accurate BUT we still learn and become somebody in life and have fun doing it. The Demouchets this is not America with communities and such we are in the Balkans , we have neighborhood schools funded by the state not some fancy schools private funded. I'm proud to be a born in the balkans (Romania).
as a balkan I gotta tell you we had a principal who tried to put couches and vases and other nice things and we immediately vandalized a lot of things and we threw the vases from the second floor to the kids outside and then they threw it back up and you would have to catch it. A lot of broken tables and condoms. But thats how we roll in Greece it was just right
@@TheDemouchetsREACT It is not so bad, we have beautiful mountains, beaches and trust me, it is good. Not whole Balkan is that wild. There are some stories and war stories from other kids and adults, but it is not so bad.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Its safer there than in most US cities and states. Its really not bad at all, especially for a tourist. Cheap good food and they got 90% of the stuff you got in the US.
Croatia is one of the safest countries so the Balkan is a really nice place. Please react to other videos about the Balkan so that they disprove your prejudices
Hi, balkan here ^-^ So those kind of incidents don't happen every single day. They're quite rare (I'd say they happen once every 2 months in middle school and once every 6 months in high school at least that was my case) and 99% of the time they're during a break (our breaks are longer than in the US, sometimes even 20 mins and we ain't got no cafeteria, only the rich/international schools got that) and that 1% when the teacher ain't at school (we don't really have subs). We're not that crazy I promise 😭
Im in a achoool w a bit stricter teachers, so this dosent happen as much but we still have kids jumping out pf windows/smoking/giving dr-g$ etc. Even police comming over bullying.
Did you got traumatized after 10 minutes of watching,our schools are so much fun,and they aren't only boys,it's both Genders,crazier we are, girls like us more,plane and simple 😂😂😂
Jokes aside, things used to be like this a long long time ago, now it's modern af. I used to go to these types of schools 20 years ago, and now when i see my sisters school (9 years old) im in awe.
In my school in Bulgaria the kids smoke with the teachers outside during breaks. Also you are asking where are the teachers but most of the time the teacher isn't in the classroom
mate, it is the same in Romania, only when i started traveling the Balkans i discovered that we are so fucking much the same!!! but to be honest? i would never trade this fucked up part of the world with any other, and i have traveled to 40+ countries!!! yes we have our problems, but to be honest we are doing ok despite our governments! PS: in Romania we have a saying: the only friends we have are the Black Sea and Serbia, they are the only ones who haven`t invaded us! can`t wait to come again for the Next festival, I was there last year as part of our honeymoon and going back next year!!!
I grew up in the Balkans and video brought me some great memories. There was this one time me and my friends were at a coffee shop near the school, as drunk as can be, playing gambling cards game. The school director walked by, saw us, and for some reason decided that he had to intervene. Such a horrible idea. Every time I gat drunk i would search for a reason to get into a fight. The people on my table new that and tried to tell him but... He came by started screaming and yelling explaining in what kind of trouble we were and at some point took the money from the table and said that we were going to his office. I got my chair and threw it at him. ( He moved and other people from my table held me so he was unhurt) but he started shaking like a leaf, dropped all the coins and walked away. Never so him walk past that coffee shop again. And lady - all the respect, but if you were a teacher of mine back then you wouldn't last a week. I am 30 years old now and realise that i was way too often wrong, including the story i just told. Still i remember those stories with a smile. All those things helped me become who I am, and I am pretty happy with who I am today.
I loved the stuff that went in my school life, everyone bullying on everyone, fights occuring daily, breaking things up all the time, and when the math teacher came in for the lecture, everyone was dead silent and scared shitless.
MAN, memories. I remember from elementary school all the bullshit I'd thought was normal. Like having pretty much snowball fights using the school provided soggy baby carrots (school decided not to provide after a while). Or taking the ham off the breakfast sandwiches and yeeting them onto the ceiling (it stuck because butter). Throwing food and lost articles of clothing from the boys' changing room to the girls'. On that note, the door to the boys' changing room (only one in the school) was stolen like three years before my graduation and was never replaced. On another note, I had this weird habit of leaving empty bread slices in my locker and waiting for them to dry so I'd have something crunchy to munch on for free. Those were some days. (I am Hungarian, by the way).
DO NOT make the mistake of thinking this is just a Boys thing. The girls while a bit less wild, did their own share of chaos. They were just smart enough to avoid the cameras. Boys take pride in their chaos.
No one thinks that it's just boys are more chaotic
@Memeking_Bob Boys always Chase clout and respect from other boys. That means needing to slay a dragon(the school), not suck up to your cell guard (teachers).
Fr, when it came to arguing or fighting one another, girls took the cake. Guys usually just caused chaos.
mate in all my school years (many) i was in class of majority girls, fucking shit those were some wild Jane of the Jungle women!
@@vicu_negru in secondary school (or high school) there were always only girls in my class. Imagine what circus that was for us and the teachers
As a balkan i have to say this is the best part of schools
Fuckin` A!
I wish my school was like that, everyone at my school is just a boring snitch💀
Being in a top school in Bulgaria changes nothing from being in a normal one. We do the same things lmao
as a balkanian i agree
ur not a balkan@@The_Ultimate_Unit_.
The Fences aren't made to keep people out. They are made to keep kids in. 😂😂
and so what? nobody bothered with them anyway...
Kids usually just leave the school like not asking or anything in my school
We would find a way to get out 😂😂
Ours used to lock doors so you couldn't leave, and could only go outside by asking a teacher or the janitor to open it and even then you had to state a reason. We could go through the windows, though
Lol in our school they even put barbed wire.
As a romanian girl I can confirm that these things are 100% real
Same here. We took off a door once and used it to slide down the stairs, we also jumped out a window once to cut classes, jumped over the fence and gate countless times, had a whole in the fence that connected to the radio station next door and exited through there (until they fixed it), broke a few windows (not intentionally). Never had anyone go through the door, though so that one was new. And this was in CN Fratii Buzesti (which at the time was i think ranked as the 3rd best high school in the country and nicknamed Bastilia). 😅 good times!
thank god when i was in school we didn`t have cameras on our phones!
As your male counterpart, this is totally true
So true, they never gave us another door handle after the 6th grade just because we broke the previous 6-8 ones they have replaced 😑
@@vicu_negruok boomer...
Growing up in the 90s,
smoking in the bathroom - check
jumping out windows - check
having guys trade with... basically everything - check
hiding in the closet - check
coming in late one by one or asking to go out to pee. ONE. BY. ONE. - check
dilapidated, decrepit interior and exterior - check
front row was paying attention while back row was playing blackjack or making goulash - check
It was fun while it lasted but I don't want to go back
This checks out. Greece may not always be considered a Balkan country but... well, the similarities are there.
can confirm all of this still existed in 2016 and beyond, hopefully the new generation will keep the traditions
Making goulash 😂😂😂 we actually tried to cook “chips soup” which was boilig water and lays chips. We ended up having mashpotatoes. It was in 10th grade, biology lesson. 😂😂
i was about to say this is exagerated, seeing this list....damn i checked everything off aswell ...(getting off my high horse)
I'm Nigerian and this is pretty normal in our schools, except the smoking part, although these days it's not as crazy as when I was in high school.

Not true.

15:45 AND THAT ,,BINE ESTI CUVÂNTAT DOAMNE" HITS ME EVERYTIME

same here...

ofc its not like that this is the worst in 1 video its not that chaotic but still true

Something is wrong with us, the balkans (or we have another sense of humor).😂 I was watching the same video as you guys, but you were shocked and I was laughing.😅
I am czech not balkan but was still laughing and this is also true in Czechia
We have another sense of humour and I love it. But you know it isnt bad to be different from the rest at least of Europe xD
nah, we did some of this shit in the ''90 in Poland.
@@Niki91-HR TRUE 🥰
Scandinavian with balkan friends. I laughed too :)
Im Hungarian so not from the Balkans but went to school in the 90s and this video brings back memories. The school benches, the cold classrooms, the assemblies, all that.
Same I'm also Hungarian but I'm still going to school
Not your, my Hungarians. Serbian Hungarians 😎
IM HUNGARIAN SO NOT FROM THE BALKANS. The copium! :P
I went to school I Hungary but my school was clean, tidy and never seen disorder to this degree. Teachers were strict but respectful as most of the pupils.
It's still applies for the past 2 years too. 😆
The Balkans are just one big-ass hood. It's not a parody, more like an exageration. What he's saying doesn't apply to all schools to the same extent.
no, balkans is the balkans
Some are more tame yes. I was lucky that my parents knew which were the good schools. But we often had reports of students beating up teachers. It was a mess and a half
He is on point, the schools were really like this in the 90s and early 2000s. Idk about today, but schools still seem like a crazy experience, but in a different way i guess.
Well it's a bit tamer
I would say it's a bit tamer because I do also think the punishments are more severe/teachers get involved more than before
Now is boring, and they all just watch smartphones all day.
we in 2020 made in school a shit bomb by using pee and cat shit. and other think like mustar oringe shell and what ever we find in the infimus hungarian toalets. i remember that smell it was so horrible! that the princible in the other side sensed it XDDDD but we kept doing it. this was in elementary school in 8 grade :D now we do fire experiments in middle scool with my new class mates.
Im from hungary and the only thing that changed is that the benches and chairs everything else is the same(Im from the worst county in hungary idk about the other counties)
As someone who grew up in the Balkans, the spiked fences are to keep you in not to keep people out.We had 12 foot walls with barbed wire on it.The school nickname was Bastille after the french prison
My highschool had the same nickname 😂
Me and my former classmates often joke like this calling schools prisons and ourselves as cellmates
As a romanian that finished highschool this year i can guarantee all that is 80% true.
as a Romanian that finished an above average highschool in Bucharest 20 years ago i can say it is 110% true!
we did more fucked up shit back then!

Bulgarian here. Playing cards is considered a form of gambling and it's prohibited inside the school. Well, take a wild guess who played belote and poker during recess? We also smoked inside the bathroom, had chair fights, drank alcohol during class (don't even get me started here) and many other things. Sometimes, I miss high school.
Edit: I forgot about one thing - the amounts of times teachers or the cleaning staff caught students having sex in the locker rooms/bathrooms.
Being someone who went through school in the Balkans in the '90s (the worst period possible for our region), I have to say this video is hilarious. Well, first of all, he showed you all the worst stuff he could find from all over the region, doesn't mean it happened like that on a regular basis. But yes, some things were a bit like in the video, such as skipping school and finding... shall we call them "creative" ways to escape, like jumping through the window from the first floor (yea, we did that too). You have to understand, the level of poverty in the Balkans in the 90s and 00s was off the charts. Teachers were payed misery salaries, and when someone has a worry about how they'll pay for food and heating next month, they tend to worry less about school property. Undermaintenance was commonplace, because neither the central nor local governments had any money for any kind of comprehensive public works. There is no such thing as the PTA or parents organizations, like you have in the States.
The "no girls" thing is not that we had boys-only schools, we had no such thing. But girls, being the more sensible creatures they are, did not participate in the madness we idiots created, and would just watch from the side. So when you'd film the most ridiculous stunt possible, the girls were likely behind the camera guy, out of harm's way. 🤣 The "counterstrike on the hallway on a monthly basis" was a jab at you guys, with your school shootings and all that, since we never had that particular issue.
Still, have to emphasize it, school was far more normal than what was shown in the video. Those would have been the worst outliers he could find.
Indeed girls being far more fragile for the mayhem were usually just chatting while the boys were spending their energy on crazy things.
But it was all cool, and super fun!
And the best part, we did manage to educate ourselves, unlike many today that can't even read a book page without opening their smartphone.
Well you definitely cleared it up😂. Thank you.
OMG those are schools from 90's war sancions and when it was pointles to go to school.We all learn the streets games, not school games....what you looking is frustration of young in time of war with no school future to expect,what is left for us was street and criminal activities if you want to survive when from war everybody from 10years and u p have gun%knife or a bomb scorpion a kalas....false all clip
well for scientific purposes got to share my first hand experience on the subject.
Onse girls from class threw ...
something like: on set of in clotes lesbian movie cossplay.
xD got to mention the man who got on the operator job with improvised camera, and the mic guy
From my experience, the girls would most often be the one filming. Guys would cause chaos, but girls were more often getting into fights with one another, physical and verbal.
As a Croat from a Highschool, I can assure you it's just as bad as you are told. We had chickens in one of our classrooms one day. Live chickens. Just chilling.
Why? & Where did they come from?😂
@@TheDemouchetsREACT God knows, we just had chickens in one of our classrooms. They were just chilling.
As a fellow Croat I can picture it for some reason. Btw may I ask in what city/village you went to school?
My high school had goats fishes parrots rabbits and a tarantula spider that went missing
Best moment was when the goat would peer in from the window during class
Its based on who are the classmates im from slovenia and i remember that we broke a cuple of windows, set a lot of things on fire including my shirt i was wearing. I had to take it off and put it in the sink. and a lot of other things haha
what people don`t understand is that nobody was hurt! it was all in good fun and games! we had lots of fun!
Well, we did get hurt sometimes.. quite often actually 😅 one of my classmates lost half of his teeth while playing "lapte gros" after hitting a radiator. And let's not even talk about what happened when we discovered WWE in the fifth grade
@@DanGabriel09 oh man, not lapte gros. I think one of the guys in my class had to get stitches after splitting his head open on a desk while playing 😂😂
we had the usual slamming/running through glass doors and cuts everywhere, breaking wrists, ankles during PE etc.
@@loveanime74 lapte gros almost never ended well 😅
I have back problems, but definitely not because the principal came with the police and caught us at 20:00 still in the classroom playing lapte gros 😂
the video was so on point, from the environment, the bathrooms you had to squat on, the half&half walls, the broken cheap wood desks and the fences kids used to climb, the teachers beating us up was so real as well man the nostalgia is crazy rn. Its not propaganda at all
12:47 - Intro of the animated TV series "Hungarian Folk Tales"
Childhood favorite
Full frontal nudity for kids baby!!
Yeah, Hungarian cartoons, they were... special :D
As for the girls... Our favorite game to play was throwing knives between each others bare feet. Or play the pinfinger game in complete darkness.
We had disco parties in the bathrooms or just screamed like animals in the classroom.
But there was never a big opposition between boys and girls, we did everything together.
Omg what kind of memories bring back to me this video as a romanian girl. And yes everything is true. The girls if they know is too dangerous or too stupidity they go outside. But the funeral hit me everytime 😂😂😂
As a Greek who finished school back in 2002, this video is bringing up a lot of memories. And yes, we are considered a bit of an outsider in the Balkans but we are still part.
As a Greek that went to EPAL (finished in 2019) , things are still wild. And it's awesome.
as a hungarian student this is a really good introduction of the balkan schools. The part i miss is the changing room, the place where are no cameras, no teachers,(no rules) and lots of boys being absolute animals and evry week or so there were a beatdown, its like a small mma ring withouth protection or judge, sometimes it was ended with a bench thrown. as a student i still see these things, and yeah the school is not the place for learning, everything i ever learned is from my home from books or websites, not from teachers
Schools here is more like a survival training camp for lots of years.
@@szabolcsszeverenyi7003 Spot on. I once saw I guy beaten to a pulp in the changing room.
This is an actual description of every techinical highschool in greece
Yup. the rest of us were a bit milder but ...I've seen things.
Well its hard for people that are not from the Balkans to understand all that. As bad as it seems it was a way to kill all that boredom and release all that energy. Kids over there are super energetic and we cant stay still for hours listening to lessons in schools. So we had these 5 minute breaks after every class that lasted 45 minutes and a big break that was 20 min long. So when teachers leave for a break too we would do ceazy stuff like in the video so we aint bored and yeah kill that energy so we can survive sitting for next 45 minutes after the break. But in high schools it was mostly just running away from the class with your friends from the class or just entire class
Daa i svi smo jako bliski mislim da je to velika razlika kod nas i da zato stranci najpre ne mogu da razumeju, ali ono kad uvece blejis u skoli bukvalno kao da si kuci sa mojima
And we are still smarter than them and have better education system 😂😂
As a bulgarian I can confirm its true tho it varies and its not as bad nowadays but it was pretty much like that when I was in school from 2001 to 2012. A nother factor is if the school is in a big city or not. But some of the best memories were created in this enviroment.
As a guy that goes to school in serbia (balkan) i can comfirm that this shiat is real
Video is kind of over the top, but it captures the essence of Balkan school experience. Croat here, went to school from 95-07. So right after the war. Funding for school was shitty, pays were shitty, lot's of parents lost their jobs. Toilet paper and soap in wc was luxury in school. Smoking in 7-8th grade was normal, jumping out of window was also something that i witnesed on few ocassions along with police coming to school. And that was just in primary school. High school was where the chaos reached full potential and i went to fairly good gymnasium (think of high school that prepares you for university). In trade schools and vocational schools, it was one step better than juvenile jail by amount of crazy shit they did. Teachers aren't paid enough to give a damn, and so long as nobody ends up in hospital with serious injuries, principals didn't eather. There aren't really boys or girls schools except two catholic highschools in my town. It's just that some schools are full of boys ( mechanical and electronics techinicians, hvac technicians) and some are mostly girls (beautician, hairdresser). Today schools are slightly better due to better economic situation.
I'm from Bulgaria. 95% of this is true. In my school we also made flamethrowers, someone tried to make a bomb in chemistry class, the boys regularly roleplayed as swat attempting to get into the girls' bathroom, breaking stuff, throwing desks at each other, bribing the teachers, classes going to war, locking people and the bathroom and whatever else. There's so much.
Can confirm, we also made flamethrowers and noxious chemicals in high school in Serbia.
Schools in Romania were like this 😂 I was Ivan for years, broke a lot of Windows while playing soccer, pranked every new Teacher with real snakes. It was a shit show. The bathrooms were holding on barely.
My mom bribed the School so many times 😂
never in my wildest dreams could I imagine an American couple voluntarily watching a serb who moved back to serbia talk about the Balkans
All that he said is true
Mostly in the 90's and early 2000's that was common in smaller cities or villages but in the more "modern" cities it was a bit more calm, now in 2023 the schools are more tame though stuff like this still happens
Well, as we say here in Brazil: "You can leave the 5th grade, but the 5th grade never leaves you"
Those guys with the funeral cosplay got me dead laughing! ....brings a tear to my eye.
Hehe, the channel you reacted it's Balkan banter dedicated... he speaks mainly on the crazy things that happens and makes them look like it's an everyday thing, but it's not, not all schools around here are like that, like in any other countries, some are good and some are bad.(but indeed the balkans do live up to their reputation, as always, in every single thing)
Nowdays schools are more nicer by looks but still kids be chaotic and to be honest parents dont know a thing what their children is doing,cuz if they knew it would be a problem cuz balkan parents dont play but is still fun tho being in a balkan school.
Hajrá Magyarország! Hajrá Magyarok!
And FYI Hungary is a Central European country but i appreciate the recognition
As a Romanian I can confirm these stuff happen. Can be worse though, some schools in the middle of nowhere have no sanitation or current water. The toilet it’s literally a latrine or sh**house outside the building (like you’ve maybe seen in old western movies), and imagine going for a number 2 in the winter: squatting and doing your business while your “jewels” dangle in the frozen wind. What a joy 😂
By the way, the scene with the funeral cracked me up 😂😂😂
These are all the worst that happen but NOT everyday(Balkan girl here 👋). As for the kid’s motivation, TEACHERS! We remember them ALL through out our adulthood the good ones and the “bad” ones. As for the class staff that kids do are mostly to prank teachers because they like them and they want to make a laugh. But you will never ever see shootings in a school! And for the most part of what you saw are just possibilities that can happen 😂
As a Hungarian I can confirm that these are true, like my classmates once kicked a whole into the wall just because he thought it would be funny😭
As a Bulgarian I can confirm that this is average Balkan life.
Oh, you have no idea guys... As a turkish, believe me, everything in that video is true
As someone from Romania, who did most of school years there, this is mostly accurate. we still managed to ditch classes sometimes if we gave ciggarets and coffee to the guy that was locking the gates. and most of the crazy stuff would happen in the 10-15 minutes breaks between lessons, which seemed quite a long time back then lol
If you ever visit Serbia, please make an announcement- your Serb viewers would love to be your tour guides and hosts!
Will do!
5:11 be like that in most places in Europe. Especially the heat thing. Ain’t no AC in the summers and that’s the only thing that’s heating us up in cold ass winters.
Even in are apartments.
I live in Sweden - it’s how it be.
As a greek i can confirm that its a normal day in the balkans when students are hanging large olive trees in the class ceiling , breaking doors, peeing in bottles and mixing it with dirt and flass them into the walls in the hallway pretending that they are fire savers and basically destroying the classroom before the teacher arrives after 40 minutes lmao and after the arrival, this video is 100% true👍 welcome to da balkans💀
...in some schools more than others
They are so shocked LOL.
It's all true. It builds character.
As a portuguese, an honorary balkan country, I can say a lot of this is also accurate, slightly more mild, but nonetheless true. Just appretiate the inventiveness of things, the wildness. Who comes up with simulating a bus in class, or bringing dead animals into the classroom, puting a pin in the teacher chair, or exploading lighters?
But now seriously, I condemn the way the education system works here. I was in a public school from my 5th to 9th grade, from around 2004 to 2009. I can also imagine the frustration of teachers.
We played poker in the back of the class, smoked in the bathroom, jumping out the window was so popular they put prison bars on them. We'we broken a window before, stolen the teachers book (where they write grades), one class in my school super glued the teacher to a chair lmao..... good times man. So many great stories
Im from Bosnia 🇧🇦
My homeroom teacher was chasing us around the clas to "discipline" us for being roudy. In the winter it would be warmer outised than inside the classroom i was. We turned a teacher's car upside down in the parking lot because she was the worst teacher you could see, we had teachers abusing us for no reason, we did have some fun and we were quite a bunch of devils but when those 2 good teachers came to class we were the best studensts out there. It really depended more on the teachers than the students. When you have comunist fosiles trying to "teach" you stuff, which was mostly their way of trying to control the system, you cant expect students to respect you or to want to learn something from you.
The worst thing in Greece there was a clips show. And they welcomed students to send crazy clips like this. Being proud of our downfall is so soulbreaking.
As a Bulgarian I confirm schools were like that, it was a lot of fun
90s/early 00s definitely was like this and even more crazy things in hungary.
Nem volt egyszerű,az tuti 😂
5:09 nobody...they're trying to keep the havoc inside
12:53
This song is a the intro song of my childhood. This is the intro song of „Magyar népmesék“ (=hungarian folk stories).
The have over 1000 stories and every of them, some mystic some real, have an importent meaning for life.
I recommend watching it if you missed out on it.
Proud Balkan and proud Orthodox .
Grew up in Greece, can confirm. But i loved my school years.
Ahh yes… good times! Most fun times of my life😂❤️🇷🇴
Great times indeed. My parents told me few days ago " good thing you didn`t had cameras on our phones and social media back then".
Montenegrin here. There was a lot of this growing up but what this video doesn't showcase is real connection between teachers(1-5grade for Montengro )and students. We had four class groups and all class groups would buy presents on women's day for teacher or on their birthday. Connection was there, just at the times we were crazy a bit, but not nearly like this on everyday bases. A lot of the times it was harmless and funny rather destructive(although we could go a bit overboard)
As a balkan man I fully confirm all of this
Romanian girl here. My mom had a rule while growing up: if you want to be a smartass, first you have to be smart. So as long as I had good grades and participated in different school activities, she would only be mad when I actually got caught 😂
But yeah, life was kinda like that. And it was fun to be honest.
20:07 there is no specific school, riterally any ANY school
I grew up in Croatia in the 90s during the war and I can tell you it was ROUGH. Pretty much any kind of crazyness except for shooting happened in schools on a daily basis. Let me try to recollect a couple of favourite memories
1) Second grade elementary school, kid walks in with live AK47 ammo he stole from his dad, throws ammo at other kids laughing
2) Sixth grade, kids throw bench out of the window during class
3) Seventh grade, about 20 kids get together during break and physically move a teachers car from one side of the school to the other
4) Seventh grade, older student pretends he is in class with us and the class is being taught by a substitute teacher that can't tell he shouldn't be there. He answers a question she asked correctly and demands to get the highest grade for it, she refuses, he says he'll jump from the window if she doesn't budge, she doesn't budge, he jumps from the window, she almost gets a heart attack. Plot twist, the window is on the ground level, but she didnt know that because she was a substitute
5) Last day of eight grade, kid throws chair at geography teacher as she is leaving the classroom, misses her, but hits the blackboard the falls down in pieces
By the time we got to high school things cooled of a bit, but my elementary school was something straight out of Gangstas Paradise
01:50 was no anthem but but the title theme of "Hungarian folk tales" animated series running between 1980 and 2012. It was a banger, broadcasted throughout the V4 and Balkan countries.
That was the 1990s chaotic years. I was in school in 80's when we were still commies (ex YU). School building were in much better shape. Teachers had a lot of leavy how they treated their students. One had a habit of banging a students head into the board. Yep she had a peacefull schoolroom.
We also had a teacher that was a sniper with a piece of chalk. She could hit across the room directly in head.
And in my times you did anything for not your parents to find out. The only result would be the dad go on "you are putting our family to shame" tirade and do some additional reinforcing of discipline. Same was when cops would take tyre valves of your moped (most of us learned to drive them by 12) if you did crap on the streets their ussual was giving you some discipline in form of a slap, taking the valves and saying to "send your dad to get them back" yea nobody did send his dad. They just dumped them at the only gas station in town and we all knew that to get them you had to push your moped on empty tires and plead for the valves (they just gave them to you if you filled up the moped).
Different times.
I mean, if you want to go to the nearby store to get something to eat or drink, you'll have to jump out of the window and the fence at some point, when the gate guard is butthurt and won't let you leave. 🤷♂
But for real, the stuff in this video is about the mid to low level schools. The ones in bigger cities/better neighbourhoods, still had the chaos, but turned down quite a bit, and the school wasn't in pieces and mostly clean.
Gate guard? Your school had money for that? Our school couldnt afford shit
@@NikoCigoj it was the typical cheap ex-statemafia owned security group. It's full of them everywhere, I doubt it was that much.
We were also in the capital, so that helped with some funds 😂
12:52 the anthem is the Hungarian folk tales opening music btw
The lady is so sweet, she would be crying in 2 minutes with my old post war generation. We used chairs as balls, I'll give you an example. "Alo Ivane vataj" and a chair would be launched to Ivan and if he doesnt go and grab it mid air. He is a (insert animal, neighboring nation or homophobic slur).
Crying? 😂 I’m not that sweet.
Yeah, and all of our chairs had metal legs. It was like 4 spears coming at you.
Boy, that's how furniture should be built. It suffered through generations of abuse and was still functional enough that we were expected to sit on it and pay attention.
@@valentinaheart3345 we qould laugh and say we live in croatia but the school is still in yugoslavia😂
As someone from Bosnia EVERYTHING in this video is TRUE
As a balkan . It's accurate BUT we still learn and become somebody in life and have fun doing it. The Demouchets this is not America with communities and such we are in the Balkans , we have neighborhood schools funded by the state not some fancy schools private funded. I'm proud to be a born in the balkans (Romania).
as a balkan I gotta tell you we had a principal who tried to put couches and vases and other nice things and we immediately vandalized a lot of things and we threw the vases from the second floor to the kids outside and then they threw it back up and you would have to catch it. A lot of broken tables and condoms. But thats how we roll in Greece it was just right
Don't you want to make a trip to the balkans to convince yourself
Nope.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT It is not so bad, we have beautiful mountains, beaches and trust me, it is good. Not whole Balkan is that wild. There are some stories and war stories from other kids and adults, but it is not so bad.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Its safer there than in most US cities and states. Its really not bad at all, especially for a tourist. Cheap good food and they got 90% of the stuff you got in the US.
Croatia is one of the safest countries so the Balkan is a really nice place. Please react to other videos about the Balkan so that they disprove your prejudices
Hi, balkan here ^-^
So those kind of incidents don't happen every single day. They're quite rare (I'd say they happen once every 2 months in middle school and once every 6 months in high school at least that was my case) and 99% of the time they're during a break (our breaks are longer than in the US, sometimes even 20 mins and we ain't got no cafeteria, only the rich/international schools got that) and that 1% when the teacher ain't at school (we don't really have subs). We're not that crazy I promise 😭
At 9:11 it hungarian toilet
Im in a achoool w a bit stricter teachers, so this dosent happen as much but we still have kids jumping out pf windows/smoking/giving dr-g$ etc. Even police comming over bullying.
Yes, the schools are terrible in eastern europe but I finally graduated and i don't need to go back there 😂 11:44 its true unfortunetly
the slipper and newspaper ain't gonna help, the students retaliate with chairs
I'm from hungary, born in '91 schools were exact the same, almost every city :D
You can't even imagine how we stayed alive I see on your faces xD
I’m Hungarian and i can completely assume that this is accurate like 100% accurate
Did you got traumatized after 10 minutes of watching,our schools are so much fun,and they aren't only boys,it's both Genders,crazier we are, girls like us more,plane and simple 😂😂😂
I'm from the Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and this video is true word for word🇧🇦
Definitely need your slipper! But your reactions made me laugh so much ‘teachers in the teacher lounge ‘you going out there?’ Lol
😂😂
Jokes aside, things used to be like this a long long time ago, now it's modern af. I used to go to these types of schools 20 years ago, and now when i see my sisters school (9 years old) im in awe.
In my school in Bulgaria the kids smoke with the teachers outside during breaks. Also you are asking where are the teachers but most of the time the teacher isn't in the classroom
As a Serbian i can confirm that this is true 😂
mate, it is the same in Romania, only when i started traveling the Balkans i discovered that we are so fucking much the same!!!
but to be honest? i would never trade this fucked up part of the world with any other, and i have traveled to 40+ countries!!! yes we have our problems, but to be honest we are doing ok despite our governments!
PS: in Romania we have a saying: the only friends we have are the Black Sea and Serbia, they are the only ones who haven`t invaded us!
can`t wait to come again for the Next festival, I was there last year as part of our honeymoon and going back next year!!!
I grew up in the Balkans and video brought me some great memories. There was this one time me and my friends were at a coffee shop near the school, as drunk as can be, playing gambling cards game. The school director walked by, saw us, and for some reason decided that he had to intervene. Such a horrible idea. Every time I gat drunk i would search for a reason to get into a fight. The people on my table new that and tried to tell him but... He came by started screaming and yelling explaining in what kind of trouble we were and at some point took the money from the table and said that we were going to his office. I got my chair and threw it at him. ( He moved and other people from my table held me so he was unhurt) but he started shaking like a leaf, dropped all the coins and walked away. Never so him walk past that coffee shop again. And lady - all the respect, but if you were a teacher of mine back then you wouldn't last a week. I am 30 years old now and realise that i was way too often wrong, including the story i just told. Still i remember those stories with a smile. All those things helped me become who I am, and I am pretty happy with who I am today.
balkan pepole are just different
In hungary at least in my school, there are atleast 2 ppl jumping out of the second floor window bc they found cigarretes with them
in balkans CREATIVITY is encourage
I loved the stuff that went in my school life, everyone bullying on everyone, fights occuring daily, breaking things up all the time, and when the math teacher came in for the lecture, everyone was dead silent and scared shitless.
The future warriors of the Balkans, instinctively, rejected all simp programming.
those were the best moments of school.
memories that i will always remember
Finally some Balkan content

MAN, memories. I remember from elementary school all the bullshit I'd thought was normal. Like having pretty much snowball fights using the school provided soggy baby carrots (school decided not to provide after a while). Or taking the ham off the breakfast sandwiches and yeeting them onto the ceiling (it stuck because butter). Throwing food and lost articles of clothing from the boys' changing room to the girls'.
On that note, the door to the boys' changing room (only one in the school) was stolen like three years before my graduation and was never replaced.
On another note, I had this weird habit of leaving empty bread slices in my locker and waiting for them to dry so I'd have something crunchy to munch on for free.
Those were some days. (I am Hungarian, by the way).
He is mostly right.
