Man, this sounds rough. Kind of reminds me of what they used to say about being in the military service here in my country (Czech Republic). It used to be mandatory for almost all young men but it was cancelled just before I would have to enlist. It´s been voluntary since then. But yeah, from what I heard, living in the barracks was very similar to your experience in that boarding school. Glad that you made it out alive :)

I will be happy to share this cool post of yours with my followers in the next round of my upvote giveaway. Keep up the good work :)
