I must have just got lucky that I didn't get any grief at school about my hobby, but that was because I was open about my hobby.
Tom, North Tyneside isn't rough. Try working in Throckley all the time.
It's one of those hobbies that isn't mainstream, so it's seen as geeky or 'weird'. No different to someone who follows Rugby for example, or perhaps plays online RPG games in reality though. It's a bit harder at school, because kids that age can be really nasty, without fully understanding the consequences of what they're doing. I guess you've been lucky that you didn't get any grief.
I'm not too fussed nowadays, but I'd rather not put myself in the position. I stay away where I used to live, and also where I work. There's plenty other places accessible with an explorer or day rover, without doing it on your own doorstep.
