Thank you for your help. Are you sure there's no typo in this: 'until he was forced to be change schools', also please confirm that we do say "He's an antisocial."

Sorry, it is a typo, it should read until he was forced to change schools. Also, I think it should read he is antisocial; if you write an antisocial you would need to add an antisocial person.
