Year 11 and coming out during an assembly.
We were all in the hall waiting for our head teacher to arrive and conduct a year group assembly when suddenly a boy got up in front of everybody and said "I think you all should know, I'm gay, and if you're going to, you might as well beat me up and lunch time". My school was a rough school and wasn't exactly liberated. Furthermore, he had no popularity of sorts to rely on. As head boy, I had to act. I had to say something to resolve the situation. So I stood up and said, "Well thank fuck that's finally come out; some of us were starting to worry you might be straight!" Seething venom turned to realisation, and he got away with it. Just!

That was probably the most tactFUL thing you could have said.
so Qotw = fail.

Boasting about being head boy = fail

Good work elsewhere.

in my defence,
I only got it because I got "elected" when I was off sick. I suspect no-one else wanted it. I found out why when I started getting the blame for stuff, such as when we came back from a summer holiday and found the school had been painted pink. Headteacher reacts to criticism by telling pupils to complain at me because I chose it apparently!
