Early Life of Jeremy Clarkson

When Jeremy was 13, he received a Paddington Bear stuffed toy as a gift from his parents. This was the beginning of a business enterprise their family started soon after. The business turned profitable, and their financial crisis ended. Jeremy attended the ‘Hill House School’ in Doncaster and then joined ‘Repton School.’
Initially, he was a shy and silent child. He was subjected to extreme bullying at ‘Repton School.’ He became suicidal and contemplated killing himself on many occasions. However, he then decided to loosen up and eventually found himself in bad company.
The school was far away from his house. Living alone had a drastic impact on his mind, and he soon turned into a mischievous young kid. He smoked, drank, and created a ruckus in his school. Although he was good at academics, the school management grew tired of his behavior. He was expelled from the school shortly before his A-level exams.
