ok, i said i'd post about my life so far:
in high school, i had:
16 suspensions
1 arrest (should have been more)
2 psychological profilings
10 counsellors.
From primary school, i was bullied. no sympathy, i don't want it. But i was bullied a lot. I had one "friend" and he would steal money etc off me. before i got to highschool, i was into the whole going out setting fire to stuff/breaking windows/bricking schools/breaking into places jazz. When i got to highschool, it got worse for a few weeks, then i got suspended for the first time. This was for getting angry and lashing out at kids, and i was the first case the school had had like this. They pure and simple didn't know what to do. The cause? a few weeks of bullying. After this, my behaviour sort of improved. i wasn't disruptive in lessons regularly, and usually if i was disruptive, it was because the other kids would call me until i lost my rag. At the end of my first year of high school, i had four suspensions. for one of them, i got the entire school out on to the playing fields, and it took four big lads to carry me away. i gouged eyes, kicked faces and spat in the "**** of the school"'s face.
This carried on into the next year, when halfway through (and after a couple of suspensions), they decided to exclude me at dinner. This helped, sort of... it limited outbursts to breaktimes/lessons, where they were easily controlled. i was also on a card system, where the grades went from A (good), to D (really bad). I generally ranked A or B, and only once got a D (because again, i lashed out). I couldn't deal with verbal abuse, i never knew how. In third year, i don't remember much. i think i got suspended, but i really don't know.
In fourth year, it really went to ****. thus far in school, i hadn't gone 4 weeks into the year without a suspension, and this time it was a bad one leading to my arrest: I got caught for setting fire and throwing a stolen phone against a wall. my friend stole it, we never thought we'd get caught. 2-3 weeks later, i was back in school. I then, after three days, got suspended again... a guy who i didn't get along with attacked me, so i pinned him to the wall by his throat with every intention of removing him from this earth. Because we blagged it as a fight, we only got a threeday suspension, but i broke my dad's heart. i straightened up for a bit until the end of year ten (there may have been another in between this but i don't remember... sorry). At the end of year ten (sorry, this is fourth year as well), i held a knife up to a lad's throat for calling me names. this time, it got real. i was suspended until the end of the year (2-3 weeks), and nobody knew what was going to happen. this time, i didn't get punished at home. My parent's had given up. If it wasn't for one teacher, i would have been arrested. this is where one psychological profiling came in, and three counsellors. This failed, however, as partway through fifth year (year eleven), i got myself suspended again. I lost my rag, and this time they kept me on limited timetable. I was only in for a few lessons a day, and sometimes had free days. I loved this. however, i ended up with two tutors, which annoyed me. There are certain things you do in your life, and you know it's really bad. i nearly tore my family apart. I came out of this mess with the grades:
A
B
C
D
E
which isn't bad considering. The majority of grades were B's and C's, with one A, one E and one D in there.
Now, in between this, i haven't included my mess of a love life, my absolute hell of a friend group (which has only recently stabilised) and other various disasters (such as being battered into the floor etc etc)
