These affected his personal attributes, daily interest activities and unable to focus on his studies. He has a history of significant bullying during his secondary school years, in particular experiencing physical bullying in Secondary 3, including being kicked and sustaining bruising.

For D**, his studies wasn’t a smooth journey but a step improvement at a time helps a lot for him.
