=History=

Early Life
Benji was born the 13th of February 1988 in the Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Centre in Las Vegas, Nevada to parents Frank (a local motor mechanic) and Gemma (a bar maid).

Though often short for money the two did there best to raise Benji on love, tending to him whenever he needed, and often going without to ensure there was enough. Benji himself has stated that this "could be the reason I expect everyone to do everything for me... But when you are this fucking awesome, people do what you say anyway."

It was this 'I'm better than you' attitude that got Benji into a lot of trouble as a teenager, often coming home with suspensions from school and bloody knuckles, or more frequently black eyes and bloody noses.

The Death of Daniel Schroder
On June 16th 2005 Daniel Schroder, a 17 year old student at Las Vegas' Centennial High School, was found hanged dead in his garage. Schroder had allegedly been on the recieving end of months of bullying from numerous students, one of them Benji Merrick. The following is a direct quote from Schroder's diary, dated one week before his suicide.

"...That fucking Merrick, him and all his retard friends. I'll show them all why I was crying today, I'll never let them forget it..."

This statement was released to the press by Schroder's mother in an attempt to garner public support in her bid to convict several of the high schools and recieve punitive damages. The case however was dismissed, though Benji has often commented on the suicide even going so far as to say, "the piece of shit got what he deserved."

Schroder's mother is still trying to take legal action against Merrick, and other students who she believes responsible for her sons death.
