We all did mischievous things in our younger years that make us blush when we think of them now. But these people went pretty far with it. Can you top the most evil things these people did as children?
This piece is based on an AskReddit thread. Link on the last page.
1. I ran into a fence with my bike and cracked my nose. I came home all bloody, and when dad saw me, he shouted “WHO DID IT???” For no reason, I replied “Greg”, the school bully.
My dad ordered me to get in the car, and drove to this guy’s house. I didnt have the guts to come clean abut my lies. When the door opened, my dad threatened that if that kid ever laid hands on me again, he promised to kill them all. Then we went home in silence and never talked about it ever again.

2. We ding-dong ditched this old woman, except we didn’t ditch. We just hid. And when she answered the door I threw a dead bird we found at her.
To be clear,I still feel like bad about this, and I always will.

3. I was six and told my three year old brother that the people in the television had actually been sucked in there by getting too close to the screen. It took my parents months to find out why he would slowly edge around the living room and then burst into tears when they turned the TV on.

4. When I was in 2nd grade, I snuck into the girl’s restroom with a big bucket of dirty, muddy water, and a plan. (continued…)

I threw it right over the stall on whatever poor soul was in there at the time, and darted out. Turns out I drenched this one girl that happened to be a good friend of mine.
She came out the bathroom crying her eyes out, waddling, asking someone to call her mom.
Her mom had to bring her an entirely new outfit, and even underwear. The principal even made an announcement that whoever did that to her should feel horrible, and you’d better believe I did. No cameras, I got away with it, but the guilt stuck with me so long.

5. I used to put a super high wattage bulb on the lamp in my room. Then I would take my barbies and melt their hands and faces to make them “confess.
Toy Story messed me up.

6. All right, so you know that thing kids do with convex lenses and ants? I didn’t go for ants. I went for other children and I made them want it. I created a hype for what I called semi-permanent tattoos, in which I drew a pattern onto their hand and burned it in with the lens. People were lining up for it.

7. I “This is Sparta!”-kicked my best friend down a playground slide, causing him to land headfirst into the plastic slide which had been baking in the summer heat all morning.
He skid on his face the entire time down, and about halfway down the blood trail started to appear. He had to go to the hospital to get stitches.

8. We were kids when American Girl dolls first came out. My little sister wanted one very badly. My parents saved up and got her one. The doll’s name was Samantha.
Me, being a jerk, decided it would be fun if Samantha was secretly a serial killer. So I did something I thought was funny. (continued…)

So whenever I got a chance when my sister was out of her room, I’d sneak in and set up little scenes where it looked like Samantha had murdered some of the stuffed animals. I’d even tape a butcher knife to Samantha’s hand, and leave notes like “You’re next!”

9. At scout camp a friend and I put big rocks on the train tracks in hopes of derailing a train.

10. When I was really young I got really mad at my dad for some reason. I was so mad that I put those silica packets that you get in shoe boxes in his bottle of Coke. He drank some of it and said it tasted funny so he threw it out. So yeah I tried to kill my dad?

11. A kid punched me in the face. So I stole his sisters doll and set it on fire.
Another incident I had was with this kid in my second grade class. He called me names for not being good with English and being from a different country. One day at recess he stole my soccer ball. So after school I stole his bike and tossed it in a creek.

12. I dropped ants and other bugs onto spider webs. Well, at least the spiders were happy.

13. I pricked a hole in my friend’s parent’s waterbed with a needle. I was 6. I remember doing it, but I don’t remember the consequences. I assume they were watery.

14. I stabbed my Dad square in the ass cheek with a giant sewing needle while he slept. The reason? (continued…)

He took me to get a flu shot a few hours before and I was still bitter about it. When he woke up screaming I said “How does it feel? HURTS doesn’t it?” I was 4.

15. I dumped a bottle of shampoo on a little girl’s head at Burlington Coat Factory. My mom was at check out and I found this random little girl in the racks while I was roaming around and just opened the bottle and plopped it on there. Sorry, little girl who probably got yelled at by her parents for dumping shampoo on her head.

16. I used to throw rocks at peoples houses when I was 7. I didn’t think it was a big deal and that it was actually pretty funny, but now as the owner of a home, if a kid did that to me, I would lose it.

17. I pulled a chair out from under a boy I liked in the second grade. He cried.

18. I told my little brother that he was going to hell if he didn’t eat the dog poo I had for him on a stick.
He licked it.

19. When I was little, for whatever reason, I was fixated on how hilarious sneezing was. Remember that part in Beauty and the Beast where Belle’s dad sneezes in his dusty workshop? I would rewind that and watch it over and over and laugh and laugh.
Fast forward to kindergarten: somehow I find out that a girl in the first grade has a terrible pollen allergy. Bad for her. (continued…)

I pick a handful of dandelions and chase her, smashing them into her face whenever I get close enough.
The plan works! She’s sneezing like crazy! This is the pinnacle of humor!
But wait: she’s sneezing, but she’s also crying. And wheezing. And her face is swollen and red.
This was the first time my little-kid brain grasped the idea that other people might feel differently about things than you do.

20. I convinced my younger brother that we found him near a sewer. I went on for multiple years with the same story. Whenever he would do something I didn’t care for, I would threaten him with “you’re going back where you came from.” My parents still joke about how much he would cry.
My brother and I are best friends now.

21. Between the ages of about 4-7, I would habitually bite other kids. Hard. It got the the point where we had to change daycares several times and my mother broke down in tears.
I remember one day my dad bought me a new hot wheels car because I hadn’t bitten anyone that day. Nothing says positive reinforcement like giving your kid a toy for managing to go a whole day without chomping down on someones shoulder.

22. In sixth grade PE, I always lugged a big water bottle around and people would always ask me for a sip. I had enough of this so I started bringing an extra water bottle that had clear, tasteless laxative dissolved into it and letting people who asked drink laxatives.

23. Successfully convinced a little girl to trade me the $20 bill she got for Christmas, for the $5 bill that I received.

24. At my school near the playground, I found some random cinder blocks, so I piled TONS of fallen leaves on them till they were completely covered, in hopes that some kids would run and jump onto the leaves but hurt themselves on the cinder blocks.
Thankfully, I don’t think anyone ever did.

25. I used to borrow my friends toys/pokemon cards/plastic jewelry right before I knew I was going to move (gotta love that navy life) so i would never have to give them back.

26. I was about 10 and had a balloon launcher. It was my prized possession. We could toss a balloon a few hundred feet with this thing. One day I am with my family and 4 other families at a cottage. There are maybe 5 little boys around my age and a pond full of frogs right outside the cottage. Or at least it used to be full of frogs.
Over 2 days we caused a population collapse in that pond by firing the frogs about 2 meters into a tree trunk. They would explode. It was gross. We did it over and over again.

27. Bit my sister on the butt…when I was at least 8. Three times.
And when I was five I would hit other kids in preschool then bite the teacher. Made her cry once and that ended my bad phase.
