He did not allow David's mother and maid to treat David with love and politeness. His stepfather started to teach David his lessons of school at home. He mostly punished him cruelly when he didn't learn his lesson properly. The condition of his mother and David was very miserable. Before it, David used to learn his lesson from his mother in a pleasant way but now it became a daily misery for him.
The behaviour of Mr Murdstone was very cruel towards David. David mostly forgot his lesson in the presence of Mr Murdstone and cruel Murdstone never missed a chance of beating him mercilessly while teaching him. Not only Mr Murdstone but also his sister was very cruel for David. She also did not like his presence at home. One day while teaching David Mr Murdstone beat him. Then David bit his hand to save himself from punishment.
After this incident, he was kept closed in a dark room as a punishment. After it, Mr Murdstone decided to send David to a boarding school for further education. He wanted to send him to London.

It was really a misery for both mother and David. David's mother and Peggotty were very sad about this incident.
After the incident of biting Mr Murdstone, David was sent for a boarding school in London. Now he had become a student of a school named Salem House. It belonged to Mr Creakle. A coachman took David to Yarmouth. His name was Barkis who loved Peggotty, maid of David. Therefore he asked David to tell his maid about his love and his desire to marry her. After it, David went to London from Yarmouth.
In London, Mr Mell received David. Mr Mell was a poor teacher of Salem House where David was sent for study. Mr. mell was very humble towards David. He took him to the boarding house with pleasure. On the other hand Mr Creakle, the principle of Salem House was very cruel and harsh in nature.
He took pleasure in beating boys mercilessly. There was one more man in the school. His name was Tungay. He helped his master Mr Creakle in his cruel work. Mr Murdstone knew Mr Murdstone. therefore he informed Mr Creakle about David's offence. Thus Mr Creakle gave special attention to David and he tied a notice on the back of David written on it "Beware of him because he bitts".
David made two friends at this school. One was Steerforth who came from a rich family and treated with kindness by Mr. creakle and the second was Traddles who came from an ordinary family was mostly beaten by Mr Creakle. Traddles was a happy natured boy.
Once Steerforth insulted Mr Mell by saying that Mr Mell's mother was living in an almshouse on charity. After knowing about Mr Mell's mother that she was an almswoman or a beggar, He dismissed Mr Mell immediately. After this incident, one day Mr Peggotty and Ham came to meet David at Salem House. There David introduced his friend Steerforth to them.
After finishing the first term at school David went home for the holidays. In the meantime, his mother gave birth to a baby and David was very excited for the baby but he found no change in the behaviour of Mr Murdstones and his sister towards him. They both did not like his presence there. David was very sad to see all this. He was worried about his mother because she was living a very unhappy life. Mr Murdstone did not want to allow David to meet freely with Peggotty. He was very sad at his own home. He went back to school after finishing his holidays.
One day David was informed by Mrs Creakle about his mother's death. After it, he became very sad about hearing it. He felt himself alone in this world. He was crying for his mother. When he reached at his home, he came to know that the baby had also died with his mother. The funeral was not attended by Mr Murdstone and his sister. Peggotty told Mr David that Mr Murdstone and his sister treated his mother very badly. They both behaved very bad with his mother and tortured her. Now David was very sad after hearing all this. He was feeling lonely without his parents in this world. The only person who cared about him was Peggotty. Therefore he also had to leave his school, Salem House. He could not finish his education.
After the funeral, he went to Yarmouth with Peggotty. David stayed there at her boathouse. Peggotty got married to Barkis whom she loved. Now again after the marriage of Peggotty David was alone in the world. As his mother had died and his stepfather neglected him. He only felt comfortable with the books which his father gave him. He mostly used to read those books to console himself.
David was sent to London to do work as a labourer by Miss Murdstone at an early age of ten. David started to do work in the warehouse of the firm named "Murdstone" and Grimsby". There he had to examine empty wine bottles and paste labels on them. He had to work with low-class street boys at the wine shop. So he had lost all his hopes to be a learned and respected social man.
While working in the firm he stayed with Mr Micawber who lived in Windsor Terrace, city road in London. Mr Micawber had a wife and four children in his family. He was a friend of Mr Murdstone. Mr Micawber was a freak and polite person but he was a great borrower of money. His income was not fixed. His wife told David that her husband had borrowed money from many creditors. They often came to their house for repayment and harassed them but his husband was unable to pay those debts. His wife told that they felt very depressed when the creditors came to their house for repayment of their loans.
They both were flexible in temperament when creditors went back they immediately became happy and relaxed but in front of them, they seemed very unhappy. Mr Micawber was very fond of saying again and again that "something would turn up". He also liked to speak the phrase"in short". Mr Micawber established a private school for girls to increase his income but failed. At last Mr, Micawber was arrested for not paying his debts and carried over to the king's bench prison in the Borough but very soon he was released from the imprisonment. After it, Mr Micawber decided to go to Plymouth to get a job with the help of his relatives. David felt very much attachment to the family when they went to Plymouth, he felt lonely again.
David did not want to work in the warehouse with street boys so he decided to run away from there. One day he ran away from the warehouse and started his journey to Dover. He came to know that his aunt Miss Betsey Trotwood lived at Dover. Therefore he borrowed some money, a half- guinea from Peggotty and started his journey to Dover. In the meantime, he was robbed by the driver of a donkey cart which he had hired to carry him and his luggage to the coach office. Now he had no money.
Without money, it was difficult to go at Dover but he had to walk to cover all distance to reach Dover. He had no other way to go there. In fact, he had to sell his waistcoat and jacket to buy food. He had become very tired with hunger and cold while reaching Dover. Finally, he reached at Dover where he was received politely by Miss. Betsey. There was one more man who lived in Miss. Betsey's house. She had a high opinion of him. Actually Miss. Betsey was a married woman who had separated from her husband and now lived as an unmarried woman.
