I have come to the slightly depressing conclusion that I have already previously told virtually every school related story I can think of.
But this old one is probably the worst thing I ever did to anyone at school and as I said the first time I told this, I will take any flaming and criticism that comes my way, because it can’t be any worse than how I have felt when I remember it.


We were 15/16. A group of us were going on a school trip. Three days staying in a Welsh ex-coalmining village. (woo! Party!) and among our group was Adam andAdam was a shit. He was twice the size of most of us, and was an arrogant, bullying, superior, violent wankbag of a teenage boy. I couldn’t abide him. Nor could the rest of us. We were staying in big open dorm type things, with bunk beds and communal showers.

Adam was in the shower. Adam was deaf. Adam had to keep his hearing aid dry so had left it on the side by the sinks. Adam had his back turned.

So Adams hearing aid went out the window.

We did make an effort to pretend to help him look for it, but we knew he was never seeing it again.

Adam had the most miserable three days of his life. He couldn't do anything. He followed the group around in silence. We saw him in tears occassionally. It wasn’t until I remembered how vulnerable I feel without my glasses or contacts that I started to get a feeling for just how horrific it must have been for him. Which is when we vowed we would never own up.


(although upon writing this, it does occur to me that our teachers must have been pretty oblivious not to notice something was wrong)

You should have saved this,
in case your "abusing the disabled" idea got picked up.
