6: Dick Moore: Bullying, Rugby & Surviving the Suicide of his young son.
Update: 2021-06-09
Description
From a bullied schoolboy to a headmaster, from rugby triumphs to the heartbreak of unimaginable loss.
Dick Moore hated school so much he once faked appendicitis to escape it. Tormented by a sadistic headteacher, he battled anxiety and depression, with rugby as his only lifeline. But life took a turn—he became a teacher, a husband, and, at just 26, the youngest prep school headmaster in the country.
For 22 years, he shaped young minds while raising four children. But in 2011, tragedy struck—his third son, Barney, took his own life.
This episode is about bullying, mental health, resilience, and the devastating impact of suicide—but also about love, healing, and the strength to keep going.
