Maurice is a new pupil to the school, and is nearing the end of his first term. At Maurice’s previous school, he was very badly bullied by a gang due to his long term illness, schizophrenia. Maurice is very paranoid about meeting new people and interacting with teachers. He hears voices and sees things that are not really there. Due to his illness, Maurice thinks other students are bullying him, and he is reacting weirdly towards them. Due to his illness, he is finding it hard to make new friends.
