At age 16, Magnotta went to live with his grandmother, Phyllis, who felt "worried about him hearing things, speaking loudly, and feeling scared" most of the time and was described as a "mother figure" by Magnotta. The reason he is living with his grandmother is to escape from the psychological abuse of his mother's boyfriend. His grandmother took him to a psychiatrist in around 1999 after having concerns about him. Magnotta came to feel that his grandmother was a mother figure to him, as she had raised him correctly. She often dressed him in clothes, going everywhere with him, and slept with him when he was younger. | At age 16, Magnotta went to live with his grandmother, Phyllis, who felt "worried about him hearing things, speaking loudly, and feeling scared" most of the time and was described as a "mother figure" by Magnotta.

Magnotta was enrolled in grade 6 at age 10 or 11, and had the ability to read and write at one point. He had a humiliating past at school, including being bullied by his students as they tried to ruin his hair, calling him a baby, and laughing at his clothes (as Magnotta's parents didn't have enough money to buy him clothes at Value Village). Magnotta would try to play nice by giving them a piece of chewing gum to make them stop. But instead, the students would still bully him. The class monitors would even be dismissive of him whenever he got into this situation. Apparently, Magnotta once threw a chair at a Grade 6 teacher. Although he was often bullied in school in the past, he now communicates with three other students who have a disability. Initially, Magnotta had been placed in the special education classes when he first attended school due to his inability to do math and reading. His mother also wanted to attend, but dismissed because she was "thought to be intrustive." | Magnotta was enrolled in grade 6 at age 10 or 11, and had the ability to read and write at one point.

After graduating from elementary school, Magnotta went to I. E. Weldon Secondary School, a high school located in Lindsay, Ontario. Magnotta began to lose touch with his brother, and he was never teased by him or the other kids again.

Magnotta began to lose touch with his brother, and he was never teased by him or the other kids again. However, Magnotta was completely unaware and tried to hide from the library at lunch, believing that everyone still hated him. Magnotta recalled that as he got older, his fear of communicating and being shy diminished. That happened when he started hanging out with troublemaking students. He had lower grades by the time he moved to regular schools and was in for most of the time. Magnotta would skip high school with his friend because he was not permitted by his mother to socalize a friend after school. He continued his education until he dropped out of grade 9 when he was around 17-years-old. | ||
When he was at a library in high school, he became very interested in Marilyn Monroe after discovering a book about her, and he wrote a book report about her. Magnotta had also felt that they were so much in common, including where she was abused. In terms of her, Magnotta thought that having a cosmetic surgery because she had done so would help him "forget the past and incite people like him." According to him, Magnotta's family would also talk about Monroe, including his grandfather having a picture of her. | |||
