The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

Sadly teenage pregnancy isn't weird in a state comprehensiveBut Julia* deserves a special mention. At the beginning of Year 8 (beginning of secondary school for my spacky education authority) Julia claimed to be pregnant. I thought she was probably making it up, or at least I hoped she was - apart from the fact that being up the duff at the age of twelve is generally not a good thing, the father had been at my primary school and he was absolute scum. Three months later, there was a definite swelling which she was hiding under baggy shirts. Julia was very slim and there's no way this could have been down to a few too many pies. She was hiding it from her mother - there were only two of us who knew.
Julia disappeared from school a couple of months later and never returned.
So Daniel Cockmeister** had got her up the duff the summer after they left primary school. Words can't even begin to describe what an evil bastard this kid was. He used to bully me at primary school and whenever I run into him - fifteen years later - he still yells abuse at me. He also once tried to run me over in his cruddy red Ford Fiesta. The thought that the spawn of this scum might have come into the world only thirteen years after he did genuinely scares me.
* Name changed for the anonymity of a nice but dim girl.
** Name changed because he'd probably come after me with an axe if he read this.
