I don't really know how to comment on that at all. So many things go through my head about it. Many are trite. So please take the trite ones as read. I have, instead, a question.

After working the streets, where I assume you had little education, when you went back into the school system at around 16 years old, you will have been very different from the others there, not only because you lacked the education, but because I suspect your street life altered your perceptions of others and made you construct some sort of armour around yourself.

I was thinking that elaborating on that area might be a useful thing for folk to start to understand.

I was wondering how they reacted to and related to you, how you coped with male and female authority figures, and as much else as you haven't filed in the locked cupboard you may have used at the time.
