Rod is enthusiastic about learning





At school he is picked on





Soon this becomes bullying





The teacher has to isolate Rod from the class for safety.





He tries to study alone, but fails.





Angry with failing marks, his mother kicks him out.





Alone, Rod has nothing and turns to drugs.





A friend suggests HOPE focus groups!
