From the age of 8yrs old until I was 16, I attended a 'boys only' boarding school in UK. Whilst there it was normal for the teachers to spank us if they thought we deserved it, immediately in front of our peers.We also reguarly had our hair pulled for minor faults or a piece of chalk was thrown at us, sometimes the blackboard rubber (eraser) too. We were psycologicly abused by being called abusive names by the teachers, and worst of all, we had to participate in forced homosexual games in the dormitories by the older boys after 'lights out'.
My, and our, parents refused to believe such things went on so nothing was done about it.
Despite all that abuse, at an early age, I grew out of it, put it behind me and got on with my life. It didn't do me any lasting harm, didn't make me homosexual in later life, all except that I fell for TF's lies! Thankfully, the school did also teach us Christianity, so I can at least see through TF's lies and see the purity of God behind it all.

I made a mistake yesterday by commenting on something else and was pulled up by the Co-ordinator. That was a genuine mistake and I'm sorry Sir.
