" There was a boy called Wak. Wwe was in music class and he started saying ‘yeah, your dad' and that yeah, so me Griminal and Cynical started saying ‘Wack Ass' to him all the time and he must have told his brother. His brother tried it, and then I got suspended. But I hid the letter and just went to school everyday anyway and hid from the teachers. I didn't care."

"I had fight with some boy. I must have been walking home, and he just tried it like, he threw a piece of chicken at me. My friends drove by on the bus and saw and thought I was crying, but I wasn't crying, it was tears of anger. So they jumped off and we followed the boy to his house, but he saw us and got his friends and they went and got tools. Usually when we say tools we mean knives and that, but they actually got tools. Hammers and everything."

Lee aka MC Discarda from Wileout Onez (above)
Age: 17
"I've been expelled from 3 different schools for carrying knives, smoking, fighting teachers and students. The usual shit, everyone here's been expelled from school. In mixed schools misbehaviour is the worst I think. When a teacher tells you off in front of a bunch of girls it's quite obvious you're not going to let this happen like that. I left school last year but I've got no qualifications at all."
