Scum. I was beaten up for my 15th birthday, the games teacher found me in the locker room & told me it doesn't have to be like this & someone will pay for it. I told him I wasn't a rat & would sort it myself. He said I've no doubt you will, & wished me good luck.
Over the next 3 - 4 weeks I beat the crap out of the bully & his goons as I caught them 1 at a time. They never picked on me again, 1 of them would cross himself & walk on the opposite side whenever he saw me.
Where are they now? 1 died of a heroin overdose after many years of addiction, another sleeps rough & taps up passers by for spare change & drinks metal polish, 2 more in prison, 1 for a very long time.
