I do not remember a lot about the first two years at this school. In fact I find a lot of the memories very hazy or ‘incomplete’ because of the fear I had experienced during this time. I can very well remember, the anxiety that I felt. And I can remember how I tried to keep myself ‘safe’ from the abuse that systematically went on in this school, such as the incident just mentioned. Incredibly, I was actually able to use my fear as my protector against these abusive teachers. I must have worked it out (if not consciously) that they would not ‘pick on a terrified school boy’ – if they had any compassion at all.
