Letter: A plea for help
I am resident in Australia but born and mostly educated in Edinburgh. During my secondary education at a well known private school, I was in a composite class where I was the youngest boy by far, and suffered constant bullying which ended my education ingloriously, leaving without any certificate. The bullying was exacerbated by the fact I was a bursar and a new boy. I am seeking to expose the school and what my treatment did to my life by cutting short my education and opportunity. I subsequently ended up labouring at places like the North British Rubber Mills in Edinburgh, which may account for the fact that I have recently been diagnosed with pleural plaques. Unfortunately it was some 50 years ago. Is there anyone willing to take my case?
