I reckon his parents are partially at fault...he is 18 or 19 right? if he was bullied when 6 or 7 wtf did they do for 10/11/12 years?? They simply let him sit in his room and playing on the computer and talk to virtual friends....etc. Buy him a footy/soccer ball/cricket bat and his dad should take him outside and spend some time with his kid for fuck sakes.

Now all of us tax payers have to pay him for his parents mistakes. It's true he was bullied etc but all of us have at some stage. I grew up to be a normal person...well i hope so anyway

Personally I think teachers should be able to physically punish kids in some circumstances...
