I was the king of meltdowns in high school lol I was very emotional and being the youngest person in my grade, I had an inferiority complex and tended to overcompensate. I also had ADHD and was on medication for it. Not going to go into detail, as these are incidents I'd prefer to forget happened. But it's worth noting that once I started weaning myself off the medication, the meltdowns stopped. Not saying medication is bad (I'm on antianxiety meds now and they do wonders), but I firmly believe the ADHD meds did me more harm than good.

We had this kid, his mother was literally a prostitute and hooked on drugs. He was living with his grandmother but something was wrong with him mentally. He would just go off sometimes. Like in 4th grade during class one day he just got up and started walking around all the desks. Over and over again around the same half of the desks in the classroom. The kid sitting next to me tried to stop him and he responded by punching him directly in the kneecap as hard as possible. But that wasn't even the worst incident.
I honestly can't remember if this was the same year or in 2nd grade (my 2nd grade teacher was also my 4th grade teacher for the first part of the year until they brought in another teacher and split our class up) but he was having some kind of issue and wound up pushing our teacher to the point that even she lost it with him. He runs out of the classroom and she goes after him. We couldn't really hear anything but we could see through the window that he hit her, she lifted him up by the collar of his shirt, he fought away and then punched her right in the spine before running down the hall and into the ESE area of the school. That area was separated from the other part of the school and had a door and signs that said not to enter, etc etc.
It was like a madhouse in the room after that. She was dealing with stuff in the hall, some other teachers had heard the commotion and came over. So everyone in the room is kinda going nuts like kids do when suddenly this teacher we never had seen before comes in our room. Instead of just trying to get us to calm down she grabs the desk of a kid in the front of the class and PULLED IT down to the ground really hard and starts screaming at us to shut up. We all froze and then she looked at the kid who was sitting there and said "NOW PICK THAT SHIT UP!" like it was his fault before walking outside.

Good thing Terry Funk wasn't around to talk to the kid.

Preface: This was in the early 90's, kinda at the end of the before time, in the long long ago, back when it more common to be truly cut off from all knowledge. In my area it was fairly common for local religious-type homeschooled kids to show up "out of the blue" as the new kid in 7th grade. For the most part their parents had taught them... for lack of a better term: the truth. Except a couple more wacky families. Then all bets were off.
Well, in 7th grade sex ed we had one of these homeschool kids from a superwacky family that ended up having one of those "everything I know has been a lie" moments when he started talking about how stupid the class was because everybody knows you get married and then pray for a baby and you'll be rewarded. The teacher was a nice 50something year old lady and she said "Oh you poor thing. You might need to take some notes." And about 30 seconds later he's watching cartoon porn and bawling his eyes out.
Outside of that first day the kid did all right. He had a really rough month or two of adjustment to reality. I see him from time to time even today. All around good dude. But man, as a kid you would have thought his life was ending that day.
