I had an extremely privileged start in life, born of wealthy parents, but was subject to extreme bullying thrtoughout my pre and early teens. But I still made it through to my chosen profession and went from a local JP to become a QC. I no longer practice but we all can make it if we have the will and determination. I now lecture part time in law to some brilliant students, all of which I am very proud, if your son has an interest in this, it is a very great and rewarding career.
