Bullying

A friend of mine wrote a short article recently on bullying in school. Bullying is unfashionable now, but it wasn't when I was at school -- in fact much of it was part of the system. Here's one of the worst incidents that I experienced: I was being my usual, impossible self in high school. Some students threw me to the ground, threw a bench on top of me -- which imprisoned me -- then tortured me through the slots. This went on for quite some time, until at last the school bell rang, and I was left to lift the bench off me and get back to class in time.
