SchooHell

[GROWLER]

I was the school freak 'cus I had a squint in me left eye until I was 12 (Marty Feldman lookalike)
Constantly and utterly battered physically and mentaly. No mates, and no one seemed to give a flyin' one.
Just told to get on and deal with it.
I used to ger ambushed on the playground, schoohell bus, glasses troden on, satchel contents emptied regulary, stuff nicked, spat on (greenies) written on, battered over the head (crusters) and punched in the belly regulary, you friggin' name it, I was subjected to it.
Didn't stop after me op. either. They just carried on calling me 'gozeyes'

God I would SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSP luv to meet my tormenters again now.
They's find me as a slightly different person, and not quite the 'push over' I was then. .

But was it the school or your misfortunes for being the odd ones out, combined with the cruelty in all kids?

At least Growler is fairly normal nowadays.

Bloody 'ell BM.! You had a squint too?

I usually start blubbering quietly with a lump in my throat when I see kids with a squint now.
Completely wrecked my childhood it did.
I used to walk around with my head turned to one side looking forward so my eyes were lined up together, but the bastards knew what I was doing.
I can actually feel myself getting pent up with emotion about this even now after all of these years.

I have met him. Normal is not the first word that springs to mind

Oh thank you Nick. I like to get my frustrations of life aired, yes.

I've still got a problem with it like... 

My right eye really turns in when I'm tired...

Combination of all 3 DS. Seriously. It WAS a living hell believe me.
Bllody Rheumatic Fever when I was 10 didn't help either, and put my eye op back 12 months.

What's wrong with that?

All of me turns in when I'm tired.

You DO have my sympathy and understanding BM.
Can't they fix it?

Glad to say that my op was the full 100% success, but that doodn't stop the utter bastards from singing on the bus 'Gozeyes the four eyed monster' to the tune of Huff the magic dragon; on a schoohell trip to the Blue John Mines on ther early 60's.
God i remeber feeling so so low and totally isolated.
Got to stop talking about this as I am actually starting to get upset now.

I think we knew that 

[Uncle Mort]

I went to a bog standard Secondary Modern school. Did well, wasn’t bullied even though I also had a squint. Probably because I had a “weak” heart and excused P.E. the bullies didn’t want to risk my popping me clogs like.

Left aged 17 with a handful of “O” levels, failed to get the job I really wanted (due to the squint) so took the first job that came up. Should have gone to university but it never seemed an option, certainly not raised by my teachers as a choice I might have had.

We were sorted at 11+. A glance at Friends Reunited a few years back revealed that those who went to the Grammar went on to university and professions. Those who went to the Sec MOd ended up as clerks and secretaries and still live locally. Sad really. We were surrounded by high expectations and were constantly told we were the elite. It worked.

Glad the Boy is at Grammar School

I didn't do so badly wiv my GCSE in Metalwerk like....
