Gon Freeces was 15 and already tired of life. School was a nightmare, he'd get constantly bullied. Bullied for being short, for his hair, for his lack of parents, for being poor, for his childish attitude, for being dumb, for having a feminine body, for everything. Sometimes he didn't even know the reason, people just thought he was weak, and a freak, and easy to hit. And he started thinking they might be right.
