I don't like tricks. There have been people who played tricks on me, and they were really mean

I don't like tricks, either.

^^Sorry to hear that ...some people are just mindless idiots.I don't like sillly pranks either :)

There was one that went beyond the realm of a prank. I would rather not talk about it here. I'll just say it involved blood, and I faint at the sight of blood.

It's true. I think he was traumatized by that horrible trick.

Aww my heart goes out to you, Paul.People who can do this sort of thing are nothing but sick bullies.I can see why you don't want to discuss it.Maybe it's best left in the past.The main thing is,to not let it ruin your future.I hope the person/people responsible for this sick act,didn't get away with it.It sounds like it was more of an attack,than a trick.

He got in serious trouble for it. He never bothered me again after that. Sadly, that's not the only thing he did to me. When I first moved to America, he mocked me for my Liverpool accent.

^I am so pleased he didn't get away with it.Also that he never bothered you again.

He must be unhappy and miserable in his own life, so wanted to make you unhappy and miserable too,that's the way in which bullies work.He can mock your accent,but he can never take away the pride that you have in coming from a wonderful place such as LIVERPPOOL !

We all share a sense of pride up in the North don't we ?No one will take that away from us.I wish you lots of success for the future,Paul.Just concentrate on that hun <3

Thank you, Berni. My love of music has kept me going for the past nineteen years. I also had a little help from my friends.

^The support of friends is precious and so is the love of music.You know Paul, all that you go through...on life's journey, can only make you a stronger person.With your lovely friends by your side it makes it that bit easier.My best wishes always :)

It certainly does make things easier.

^So true 😊
