<p>well Miss Porter's is all the rage; it is after all, near 50 Cent's house.</p>
<p>I don't attend an all-girl's boarding school, but I do attend an all-girls' high school.
I've read some of these posts and there a few misconceptions about an all-girl's education. I want to debunk some of these myths about attending a private all-girls' high school in general. </p>
<p>1.) We're white, upper-class daddies' girls. </p>
<p>In my school, this is not true. As a black, middle-class girl, I don't feel like a number to boost my school's lacking diversity. It's the complete opposite. When I attend a class, I'm surrounded by girls from European, Asian, Carribean, Latin American, and African descents. Sure, the majority of girls are "white," but racial diversity is not dwindling. As for socio-economic classes, a large number of the girls are middle class and are on financial aid. Don't misunderstand me, though. There are a few all-girls' private day high schools and many boarding schools where diversity does lack and the girls are rich. What do you expect when boarding school cost around 20,000 dollars plus. But, there are also a lot of private all-girls' day high schools and boarding schools that are like my school. </p>
<p>2.) Lesbianism rules. </p>
<p>What an inaccurate picture. Just because we're surrounding by girls all the time doesn't make us lesbians. If there are lesbians, then they were that way before they attended an all-girls' school. THE GIRLS AT THESE HIGH SCHOOLS ARE AVERAGE GIRLS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BOYS. Most of them are not boy-crazy, though. Since most all-girls' schools are academically rigourous and there are no boys around to talk to, laugh at or with, or impress, academics are big part of our lives and not boys. But, for those who believe in that lesbianism myth, they will be surprise at how many of us have boyfriends and hook up with guys.</p>
<p>3.) The girls are sheltered from the world. </p>
<p>One word...NO. So we don't have guys around to compete for and impress. Does that truly mean we're sheltered from the world? We study under a more focused environment and that's all. Just because we don't have certain distractions does'nt mean that we're not learning to live in the world. We're learning to redefine it and its standards. </p>
<p>4.) We're all b**ches. </p>
<p>Some of us are. There are the girls who will be encountered anywhere. These girls don't represent us. Most of us are down-to-earth. </p>
<p>I'm basing these answers on my experiences but, my experiences are not that uncommon.</p>
<p>well i got to an all girl school, we are cattier, god If some1 gets in trouble, the next day every1 knows, Girls are alot more competitive, I am, I love compition, and it is true somex's some of us haven't had guy friends since we enterd, I haven't, it kinda sucks, but it is better, i get to concentrate more in school, friendships are closer, you aren't shy to act like an idiot since there arent' any guys there, and it isn't that bad, there is a life outside of school, not boarding school, i go to an all girl school privet, catholic, and it's also really small only like 79 of us.</p>
<p>now i'm getting mixed signals...</p>
<p>Mix singles...hmm. Well, no matter what girls will be gossipy. I'm not trying to imply we're not. A good number of us are, but a good number of us who are down-to-earth and are not backstabbing exist, too. </p>
<p>Competition is normal but it's done discreetly. For example, if I am going try out for a position on the softball team and a friend of mine is going, too, then she will act all supportive and encouraging blah blah blah. Secretly, she hates me for trying to compete with her and wishes me to get cut from the team. Worst of all, she tells everyone she meets, whether the Sister, your friends, or the girl next to her locker, how bad of player of I am and that I will not make the team. Come try-out, my so-called friend is the first one to say 'Good luck. I know you'll make the team. I wish I am as good as you.' I never realize her true motives until my friends tell me what she has been saying.
But, it's cool. I've been talking trash about her, too.;)</p>
<p>I disagree. Although gossip can be spread around an all-girl's school as much as a co-ed school, from my experience all-girl's schools tend to have less caddieness, and competition. Not to say there is no competition but people do not try to cut each other down. From my exp. at a co-ed school, everyone was out to ruin everyone else's lives.
But I do agree with the common stereotypes of an all-girl's school (privatejoker's post).</p>
<p>pot smoking lesbian rich girls</p>
<p>Elvenqueen10, why do you think these stereotypes are true?</p>
<p>I always pictured themas doing cocaine, not pot...</p>
<p>I dont know whether to go to coed or unisex. Most of my friends are guys, but I want to experience an enviroment without them.If we girls stopped tearing eachother apart, maybe our power would be different.</p>

why would u say that? I go to an all girl school and believe me we have stereo types about public schools, usually we tend to think that atleast 10 girls get pregent in one class for public schools, the teachers are terrible, the food sucks, and you have ugly restrooms, and that they aren't that good.
well that's my opinion, I have gone to both privet co-ed, privet all girl( they aren't that great, we're one of the smallest, but we are not all rich, most of us only go there b/c we either get financial aid or scholar ships) and public, I like privet school alot more</p>
<p>NONO ! I just realized I didn't mean the stereotypes were true. I a gree that those are the stereotypes but I agree they aren't true
soo sorry for the confusion ( i definitely got to an all-girl's school and definitely don't fit those stereotypes at all)
OMG! I am so embarassed <em>hides</em></p>
<p>Except for the pregnant part, i think ur right about public school.</p>
<p>who? oh okay oh well well i live in not such a great neighborhood so it is normal in public scools</p>
<p>bump..............</p>
<p>it remindes me of a movie... can remember its name (no it's not x rated)</p>
<p>I want to go because i dont want to have to deal with prissy,catty girls, constantly thinking and talking and primping and combing and painting and worrying about boys during school. it's a pain.</p>
<p>Lesbians... I've seen lesbians at my school and let me tell you, it's not hot at all. </p>
<p>I was walking to class and suddenly I see this guy who has breasts. Upon closer inspection I realized it was a girl who was so ugly she had a manly face. Ugh. Seriously, if it weren't for the breasts I would've completely thought it was a guy. Guy's haircut and everything.</p>
<p>Anyways, I pointed her out to my friend and they were like "omfg, that is the ugliest girl i've ever seen in my life"</p>
<p>About a week later my friend comes and tells me that he saw her making out with another girl. I really didn't believe this until today when I saw her go up to another girl and grab her ass. No, it wasn't an accident. Full on grab and the other girl looked at her and smiled. Then she went up to another girl and kissed her on the cheek. My friend pointed out that the girl she kissed on the cheek was the one she made out with before.</p>
<p>Real lesbians are ugly. They're attracted to women because biologically they're overly masculine. Manly women if you will.</p>
<p>But what do I think of an all-girls boarding school?</p>
<p>Oh man, I would have so many girls to hit on, haha. The problem is I wouldn't be allowed there. blah.</p>
<p>Let me tell you folks, I know this coolman25 in person, and he is a sex GOD. The chicks can't get enough of him. </p>
<p>So, listen to him.</p>
<p>You guys are really, really weird.</p>
