We've got my 20 this Oct. I hated school. Had an abusive dad who used to beat on me, embarrassing have bruising, broken nose etc. He left at the start of my year 12. My favourite year of school. I was heavily into Megadeth then and was a bit lost. See the movie Trick or Treat. Except all I did was swim, surf and lift. Kept in contact with a few, a mate whom I've known since we were 6months, who knew how bad my dad was. If I go, I'd feel like apologising and explain that life can change folk, some escape. But for the most part, as soon as the final exam, I left town.
