I cracked up when I got to the "fag master" part.

You think maybe it was just them stealing their mum's cigarettes for older boys?

My good friends brother got a scholarship to one of these schools full boarding, tuition etc. He was bullied for being poor as he couldn't afford to go skiing in Switzerland or on summer trips to st Tropez yachting... I don't know the extent of the bullying but he ended up gay.

It was the upper class "public schools" (have no idea why they are called that) that did the fagging things.

The British aristocracy are all fags in the literal sense.

I actually laughed out loud at that. British society is equal parts authoritarian and gay.

This was how hierarchy was hammered into the upper class kids.

The poor kids had other soul crushing games played on them.

True story. C.S. Lewis discusses his experiences with it in his autobiography "Surprised by Joy".
