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...

Since we've migrated to bullying.I'm reminded of a kid I knew in school, he was in year 10 when I started year 8, he was your typical, angry, misunderstood teenagers who for whatever reason decided to spend his final 2 years of high school making my life hell. Life got easier when he left. He really messed my head up too. Years later I go to work at a company who handle the customer services for a certain water board in the south west of England. My first day, who do I see? Him. He's a supervisor there, he recognises me but says nothing initially, I prepare for hell, then he asks me...'Didn't you go to blah blah school?'
An already defeated me, sighs and replies 'Yes'
'You look very familiar' Says he.
'Yes, you tormented me and beat the hell out of me for 2 years at school' Says I.
Well, he didn't react in the way I'd expected. He was deeply embarassed and apologetic, we're now best of friends. 10 years between 15 and 25 can make all the difference.
Whilst I know that some people don't change, simply become older versions of their pinheaded 15 year old counterparts, it's not always so.
