“My childhood was really bad. I was the weird kid who didn’t have any friends.  On a regular basis I got bullied at school, they harassed me, called me bad words and physically abused me.  After the sports lesson they would take my clothes and hide them when I was in the shower, my locker was always down scrapped with bad words and I was always sitting by myself in class. I wanted a change, I wanted all of this to end so I started hanging out with them ones who bullied me. They saw a chance in me to use me to do whatever they wanted. And I was willing to do anything for them just for the bullying to stop. As I started to hang out with these kids my grades lowered, I was having meetings with the principal for the things I did and my whole life started to go really bad, I was headed at a very dark place of my life. One day a new kid started with us and as usual the bullies took advantage of it. They started throwing small paper balls at him and they made fun of him in front of the whole class. I didn’t do anything to him, I felt like this was over the border, I felt that I no longer wanted to be with them anymore. So after the lesson I went up to him and started talking. This was his first day at the school and I told him that I could guide him throughout the whole day and so I did. We started to know each other and it turned out to be one of my best decisions in life to go and talk with the new kid. To this day 15 years after school we are still best mates.”
