May as well share a story from my school days - I was (am!) a computer geek and the school had two main focuses, sports (rugby) and academia. Anyhow, one day I'm coming down from the computer room and this huge football player decides he doesn't like me, thumps me in the arm nice and hard then SLAM, headbutts me and splits my eyebrow clean open - all because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and looked like an easy picking (I was).
Needless to say - because there was a very important rugby tournament coming up they (school) did nothing, they needed him on the team because of his bulk/power. Do I feel bitter about it - yep. I still have the scar...22 years on. As a kid you really don't always understand your rights. I feel a bit annoyed too that my parents didn't leverage for more punishment - alas my father worked away from home for 3 months at a time in the mining industry.
Paul.
