When I was a kid I used to climb onto the bog roof in town and shout rude words and make fart sounds whilst people, were having. Tom Titt … used to also play in the lifts of an old folks home and climb up into the lift motor room … another place was a fire. Escape and we would just spit off the top…

@nikkijackson2981 if there is one thing I have learnt in life is try not to judge … you don’t know my story …. I am aware of what I did and I did things a lot worse than that … I laugh at what i did because I was just a young boy without a lot of the things that my peers had … I was a little tearaway because I had no one to guide me or act as a role model. I am now 59 and professionally I haven’t done too bad … my self confidence and ADHD still get me into a lot of trouble. I served my country in HM Forces for 29 years and now I’m a lecturer in a college Inside I’m stil, that messed up,little boy that everyone judged but hey I am reaping it all now, can’t blame anyone but myself.

@nikkijackson2981 it was people like you that judged me as a little boy that destroyed my self confidence … I didn’t have anyone to be my role model… if you let an ADHD child with one parent missing from their life at a young age run feral then that’s what happens… I’m 59 and it still stabs me in the heart when i remember girls at primary school telling me I was ugly and horrible …. But maybe you had a charmed life I don’t know.
