Now that we have seen some of your faces in the "show us your mug" thread I thought we need to share some facts about ourselves to try and get away from this anonymous forum thing.

I was born 10/10/1972 in Newcastle-Under-Lyme to mum and dad(Dianne+David).

I grew up in Newcastle where I have lived all my life.

I had a shit child hood, Dad was/is alcholic, and found fun in battering me and nowadays he says it was because I was a terrible child, and it was my fault.

Dad stopped hitting me when I got big.

Mum and dad got devorced when I was 14.

Mums boyfriend moved in when I was 15.

Hated mums boyfriend so I lived in my bedroom.

Had a fight with said boyfriend when I was 17 and got chucked out.

Lived with the girl I was seeing then for about 5 days then my mum had me back.

Mums boyfriend moved out when I was 19, happy at home for the first time in 19 years.

Battled with clinical depression form the age of 14 to 22.

Beat depression with much help from Samm, she is still my girlfriend.

Moved out of mums 2 years ago to live with Samm(her real name btw), never been happier.

Got 2 dogs, 1 fish, 1 hamster and no kids...........yet...........I may be a jaffa:D

My name is John(truth) Funklewhistle(lie).

Quite worried about this thread, it sounds like a bleeding heart type thing. It isn't its just the main points of my life that I remember and I feel have changed/damaged me.

Come on then, lets here it, It causes problems if we don't know a little about peeps, like people think that Mank is a youngster when he's really 57 years of age.

I ain't asking for eveything, just facts that will let us understand each other.

lol, understatement of the year ;) Although it did sound like you wanted to look for (real) friends over the BW forums.

You're very open, well done, gold star to you and you may take two cookies from the jar. :)

Hm, ok

Born March 18 1984, Mum (Eve) Dad (Alan - People call him Alan, but his Real name is Michael).

Had a shit Childhood, bullied since i started school, i recently found out why it happened, i won a Certificate for being Best Reader for my Age, some kids didnt like it... The Hell begins.

Bullied all the way out of Primary School, now Secondary School arrives, hoping for a new life away from the bullying... The first 3years where hell, always in Fights, always losing (I wasnt much of a fighter) Then one day... i had a fight and i kicked this guys arse.. i dont think he expected me to do so because i was "quiet"...
Things started to get OK then, until last year of School, when some idiot called me something, so i chinned him one.. his response was to go get about 10 of his Mates to surround me, while we had a Fight.. the words "He was so easy" comes to mind, but then some of his mates started jumping in, just then one of the teachers broke us up. That was my last ever fight, since then ive been able to "contain" myself.

Dad is an Alcoholic, he goes on these wild Binges once every couple of months (Like, 8hours down the pub), Mum doesnt like it because he has a bad leg (Really puffed up.. infected?) and also, we're getting an extension built, so we need the money.

One of my Five Brothers killed in a Road Accident, come out of the Blue and took Family a very long time to get over it, make it worse i didnt see him for like 3weeks prior to it, because he and my mum had a little argument.

Dont have too many friends in Real Life, theres not many people i know in this area (They are all smackheads and Drunks) for been Teenagers, and they are the "Friends" i can do without. I Dont drink/smoke or take any drugs.



/Edit Puttin a bit more in..

I wasnt the sharpest knife in the drawer in School, infact i was pretty uneducated, i was scared that if you learned stuff.. it could mean getting your head flushed down the toilet, and been a "geek".. I seen it plenty of times, where the older guys beat on people because they wore glasses, or where smart, i was beat upon coz i was overweight, and you are scared to try and lose that weight, incase you fail, or incase someone sees you "working out".

I am trying to get my life back on track now though, im going the Gym 3times a Week for an Hour or two, its not gonna be an overnight sucess, but whats the harm in trying?

I have a friend who has helped me gain a lot of confidence and has helped me out of the badtimes i had recently, i owe her greatly.

Never been in a Relationship with a Girl (Or Guy before someone says), each time ive liked someone, ive been hit right where it hurts.. The Heart, altho in a few months/year i will go looking for "her" (Whoever "her" is).

Im scared to go looking for a job, i dont wanna go into a Workplace where people will gawp/talk about me.. plus, i dont feel im educated enough to have a job i want (Computers)

Erm.. thats about it i think

We have 2 now. Oh, though Dinger's real name is Tom.

As for me, nothing much really.

Had a happy childhood and have a secure family :p

Parents are from Malaysia, though they're Chinese not Malay. I was born in Lambeth. Family home is in Beckenham, London.

Am currently in Kent University studying an MA in English Literature specialising in Modern Poetry.

Am normally stoned, and probably drink a 'bit' too much.

I spam.

My name is Andrew. I was born 12-02-1975, scots/dutch parents.

My dad had one of those jobs that got him sent all over the world to different oil and LNG refineries, so I was born in germany, moved to holland before I turned 1 and then moved to sumatera, indonesia.

There I grew up in a pretty idyllic setting heh [palmtrees, beaches etc] but the strange thing was that that the expat community was pretty small and sheltered. Knowing everybody around you quite well is both a boon and a curse I now realise. Anyway, I want to schools of the 'international' varity where, due to the teachers usually being americans we learned a lot about america. Some stuff was pretty advanced imo, like the physics stuff we youngsters did.

Well, my dad got ill and started to drink a lot to ease hiimself. I didn't understand then, but I do now. When it got really bad we moved back to england where he passed away when I was 9. We had seen it coming but it was still a shock. Went to school in england while mum arranged a move to holland [mum is dutch]. Had a bit of trouble getting down with the english kids [no offence heh]. They were loud and agressive. I heard swearing and saw fights for the first time. Then we moved to holland. More shocks here: nobody spoke my languages and it was frigging cold. I saw snow for the first time, and ice outside of a fridge. Nobody had told me it was going to be cold. Sounds strange, but that really got to me.

Dutch schools are highly regulated. They start pushing you in certain directions pretty early, and aren't very subtle about it. I didn't like it, but they won. Ended up doing photography. Lost again, as though I was pretty good at it [and the things that came with it] I didn't like the other stuff at all. Got kicked off after three years. Started doing some drugs. Went to a higher school for biological and chemical sciences but dropped out cos I couldn't maintain working, drugs and school at the same time, so I chose something to give up. Been kicking myself ever since heh. About that time I moved out of the house, aged 18. I had been having friction at home with my mum, mostly due to me doing nothing I guess. Moped about for a while going out, taking any drug I could get my hands on and taking pictures of everything I saw.
Had several jobs, usually temp work.
Gave up on drugs, got a job at bigcompany. Stopped smoking, different job at bc, IT this time. Did all kinds of courses. Fell in love with unix. Took up mountainbiking. Um...that's me in a nutshell.

Where do I start?

Grew up in Scotland (born & bred)

Led a fairly sheltered life during my schooldays. Always the quiet (swotter) type. Shy kind of bloke really. Clumsy asfook too - in and out of hospital most of my life.

Changed a little when I went to secondary. Bullied constantly until I "lost it" and broke the other guys hand - noonereally bothered my after that.

Changed even more when I movedaway from home (to Edinburgh) for college.

Started excercising (fat youn guy)

spent 3 years at college only to find that there were no jobs at the endof the course.
#
Started working in bars / bookies to get before I got my first "REAL" job.

Still working in Computers. Grown up (physically) with wife, 2 kidds and a cat ( which pissed, opuked crappedall round the house this morning)

I've had it easy compared to Tremsy and SG :eek:

I've lived in Sale all my life, got good GCSE's and 3 grade E's at A-Level :clap: :p

Went to work at a firm of Insurnace Investigators which can be quite interesting at times, what with all the idiotic fraudulant claims like 7 people in a Vauxhall Corsa all claiming PI etc.

Bored of it now, the job is getting crapier, want to get out into the graphic design world at some point soon, I have PDA in Graphics and Multimedia that I want to put to use, so fingers crossed.

As I say, my name is Tom Green, just like to goon off MTV, I am however better looking but I don't have a multimillionaire girlfriend :(

My life consists of working 5 days a week, with a portions of football on a Monday and Thursday nights thrown in, and drinking and sleeping at the weekend, mainly on Sunday nights, which I pay for every single Monday morning at work.

Last week I turned 21 and celebrated by taking a trip to Birmingham for the Gatecrasher NEC Transmission, which was fucking superb, now however, life is back to normal.

That better?

Admirable candidness.

I would prefer not to be quite so open. People have a way of getting preconceptions about me if they know my past. Trust me on this, it has happened a lot.
I also prefer to keep my online life completely separate to real life. I use the same name online for gaming, forums etc. I sometimes refer to it as my alter ego, although my attitudes and views are identical both on and offline.
This media gives me an "out" from real life. Sometimes I'll play CS and all that days worries go away, in the same way I guess that some of you might go to the pub for example.

Suffice to say I'm 40, married (very happily), no kids, decent job etc.

This is going to get confusing. I'm guessing one of the loads of things you didn't do was maths at school?

Nice thread. I'd love to be able to post up here, but I'd have to miss off a lot of recent stuff. Some of us don't have a separate identity like Yuck.

Ah well.

There will be a complete lack of sob stories in this I'm afraid.

Was born in 1980 in Ballymena in Northern Ireland. Left in 1981 and have never been back since. Moved to Dundee where I lived til I was about 10 when the bastards me dad works for moved him down to Stoke-on-Trent. 2 years later I ended up living in Clermont Ferrand in France. It was here that I learned how to rip the piss out of people, cos, you know, the French were such damn easy targets.

18 months later we got moved back to Stoke again, where I did the whole adolescent thing. I seem to remember spending most of those years either playing Doom, Golf or drinking.

At the age of 18 I left Stoke to come to St Andrews for uni. Four and a half years and 2 degree changes later, I am still here, studying for a BSc in Management.

I have never been bullied or suffered from depression. The most traumatic thing I have had to deal with was my sister making me listen to Duran Duran. I saw Alien when I was 4 and Die Hard when I was 8.

I am currently listening to Xzibit ft 2Pac and Canibus - Paparazzi.

My name is James, I was born to a Mother and Father on the 11/03/1986 called Janet and Jasper (real name Patrick) and have lived in this shitty little village called Bampton all my life.

Grew up in one house in Bampton until I was 10, got bullied a fair bit at primary school. Moved to another (bigger) house in Bampton when I was 10, and went to secondary school when i was 11. It was shit, I somehow ended up in a class without anybody I knew, so had to make some new 'friends'.

Enjoyed the first couple of years at school, was a lovely nice little boy. Got to my GCSE year (year 10) and missed six weeks of school due to depression. Eventually got back into school and stuff started to just carry on, nothing exciting or bad.

January of this year I quit school permenantly. Didn't go in for 6 months, I went in for my exams and sat them, passed them all. Even managed two B's somehow. Got a weekend job which passed the time, as they were quite welcoming when it came to me turning up during the week and helping out. Made some good friends there, and I like it. Even if the management make me want to kill.

Suffered from depression for the past three years and was put on prozac in March (on my birthday, ironically) and it's done absolutely fuck all. I'm very low lately, and am having trouble dealing with everything - despite the fact I have nothing to be depressed about and I could quite easily fix all of my problems.

Er, yeah. That's me... and I'm not 57 ;[
