I loved school, never had a problem, I was sad when I left.

I went to an all girls fee paying grammar school on a scholarship due to my entrance exam score and parents income. First few years were great. The older we got it became more obvious who had money and who didn't. Non uniform day was an eye opener. By 4th and 5th year it tended to split between the fee payers and non payers....although some of us floated between the two. I eas games captain in 5th year so had a lot of friends from both sides of the tracks

Annie never did like passing the Fee-paying mean girls as she went across the Quad to Biology, if she had heard "ew Annie your mum doesn't even Ski"once she had heard it a million times

it really was like that sort of....although more behind our backs as they thought we were hard because of wrong side of the tracks upbringing....

i was bullied, never had any real friends, i hated school too, all those teachers were lame, boring, vile (the latter bc one teacher slapped me in my face so hard my glasses fell on the ground and my eardrum hurted for some while afterwards)

Pretty much this. I was friends with the popular girl group in my year and I got on well with around 80% of the girls in my year. However I’d say I was only ‘friends’ with about 10% of the lads and only a few in the popular boys group. The majority either ignored me or were low-key homophobic (but the girls always protected me).
