I had a similar experience. I changed Senior School twice and the second
time when I was 14 a group of 4 kids decided they didn't like my face.
There wasn't much I could do against them on my own so I confronted them
one by one.
On their own they weren't much and didn't put up much of a fight. I
happen to be 6 foot 1 inch tall and built like a brick outhouse! I was
fairly well built at 14 as well. Result? No more trouble!
