Boy Drama in an All-Girls School

An all-girls environment has been a constant and comfortable setting in my life, at least that’s what I thought. Going through music school where there were only 5 guys in the whole student body, Catholic middle school and now a tiny all-girls school in Massachusetts it’s what I’ve always known. I have forgotten why I chose to attend an all-girls school... Drama free? No. Sexist free? No. So why? Every sunday brunch, girls giggling texting under the table, boys’ names floating ear to ear, and also inevitably, anger and annoyance. We have one chance to see boys, or say “decent boys”. These guys wear suits and ties to school, shop at J.Crew and get drunk in their rooms. I like well-dressed boys who know how to present themselves and how to look good; I like boys who come from a good background and receive decent education. I enjoy random hook-ups once a while and a little crazy hallucination and spontaneity. However, I believe, deep down inside in every girl’s heart, we all want a relationship that makes everyone jealous. I want to be that girl who people stalk on facebook because I have a perfect boyfriend who writes on my wall regularly and tells me how much he loves me. But it never works out, I guess it’s just not for me. I’m too needy and dependent, I present myself as an empowered and rational girl when deep down I am just as clueless as everyone else. I tried, for almost three years, and now I got to the point when I realized that I just need to stop trying and let it come to me. I hate the girls who wonder around campus desperately counting down to each Saturday so they can see boys. I hate to see girls going around a boys school and vice versa. To a certain point in life, I think the boundary should be very clear and there’s always a fine line between having fun and stepping on someone’s toes. 

What good does it do to hook up with your friend’s ex?
What good does it do to have relationships with two guys who are roommates?
What good does it do to have sex in a bathroom in a movie theatre?

High school might be a relatively carefree place, and I do believe in having fun and making the best out of your life. But we are girls, not trying to be sexist, we are more sensitive and more vulnerable emotionally. Always remember, your real friends have your backs no matter what so please don’t hurt them, especially when it comes to boys. You go to an all-girls school so try and make some girl friends. What about those fake friends? I’d say go ahead and screw them then.


Love,
Perri

The First Post

Before we jump into the land of blogging.  Perri and I would like to introduce ourselves.  We're both juniors in high school, an all-girls school on a hill.  We board there, and it has become our home.  I'm from a smaller state and live in a quaint suburban town.  Perri is from another country, where she went to an intense music school before coming to America.  Our friends, who you will soon hear all about, are Sarah, Chloe, and Lyra.  You'll hear about other friends, friends from home that Perri and I will explain as they come into the picture.  What we look like will have to be up to your imaginations.  Our story will be told in retrospect, but might be out of order at times.  We've experienced all kinds of situations, the good, bad, and the ugly.  We want to share our joys and sorrows, but mostly learn from our mistakes.
