Yeah- there was a lot of privilege in having the crap beaten out of me every day from 11-15 in an all male school for being different/poofy/weird/small/bright (strike those which don't apply- I make no apologies for the second usage-it was the favoured insult at the time among those 'rugger buggers' whose testosterone slopped out of their ears).

It stopped when I cut and ran at 15.
