SCHOOL BULLY
“What are you going to do about it?”
Twelve years old. Strong, confident and used to getting his own way. Bradley enjoys being the centre of attention and isn't afraid to use his size to get it.
WHO IS BRADLEY?
Bradley Cooper is one of the toughest pupils in Jake's year. Bigger and stronger than many of his classmates, he enjoys showing everyone that he isn't someone to be messed with.
He often uses intimidation to get his own way and has little patience for anyone he sees as weaker than himself. Jake quickly discovers that standing up to Bradley requires more courage than strength.
Bradley may appear fearless, but his confidence often hides an unwillingness to admit when he's wrong or accept defeat.
