Lovely acts of older boys shoving the heads of the younger ones into the bog and flushing, whilst suspended upside down, just as seen in this film. Also the whipping scene is not unheard of either, and fleecing the younger kids of money is a common practice. The cold showers was accurate as well. I would think that this is something you can research on the internet quite easily.
