Also I was bullied at school . Physically and verbally . At two different schools . When I started at the local 'Junior School' I was considered to be sensitive and therefore put in the class below the one that , by age , I otherwise would've been in .
I did'nt even know that and I was doing very well at the school . So well in the middle of a term I was suddenly moved up into the next class , which was when the teasing and bullying began . I had a year of missed schoolwork to attempt to catch up with , and I started
refusing to go to school , and being taught at home by my Mum .
Then I becam a pupil at the local Rudolf Steiner School : Officially there is and never has been any bullying at any Steiner School :
I was bullied a lot there both physically and verbally .
After 2 or 3 years the physical bullying stopped though I was still ridiculed (not re.my stammer as I did'nt have it then) and taunted .
In my mid-teens I was sent off to one boarding school then another - neither worked out .
Then I worked for a few weeks , did nothing for a while , then was a
(voluntary) inpatient at a psychiatric clinic for teenagers for 15 months .
