valentine’s day was my absolute favourite thing because everyone’s tables would just be full of gifts and u could see girls running to different classes to pass gifts to their friends!!! it’s one of the things i missed most after moving on to uni

[@melss5995]

haha yea i do that too!

[@christabelletham9764]

Hazel Sim sameeee

[@renderz8435]

that doesnt happen in mixed schools ahaha, we dont even give gifts to anyone unless you are a couple. like legit couple. we dont even give to same gender friends

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhhsocool]

i went to a girls sch and our valentine's day was pretty much non existent

[@wilderunthejewels4935]

Coming from a boys' school, guys also react the same way whenever there's an event where there'll be girls. They'll try to hide it sometimes, but in their minds they're planning out how they're gonna be like, or what to say.

Coming from a girls school i was so affected by losing friends and people not liking me and it feels like the people around you are your whole world but when u grow older u come to realise that all these things are so miniscule and u completely forget old friends that leave u and u just make more friends and better friends...i cant believe i was stupid enough to let things like this affect me

[@deedeehearts4162]

I came from an all-girls school, and honestly I don’t recall having bitchy friends. There were dramas in between, but overall I think I was blessed with very good friends. My friends from secondary school are some I consider to be my close friends still❤️

@@RonLarhz what nonsense, in fact all girls school are more open and accepting abt lgbt issues. Idk about guys school though, since guys tend to bully gays more than lesbians bullying girls... its usually the guys that are bigoted.

[@huienchen9474]

I’m from a coed primary school and going to start Sec 1 in Nanyang Girls’ next year. I was really scared that I might not make friends but after watching this video, I feel much better. Thank you so much!

[@annneo9293]

Love how this girl sch experience brings people like you 4 and the commentors together

[@Tourqemada]

I agree about the part where girls from all-girls schools are more well-spoken and carry themselves a certain way, and I remembered being sad when I was forced to go to a nearby neighbourhood school were everyone was very singlish-spoken even though I qualified for a girls school. As a result, I might've developed some sort of inferior complex because I didn't like my school background, and my family mocked me for my Singlish grammar (it wasn't even my fault). "every school is a good school" but every school you go to can have such a huge influence on your experiences and who you become. I think I would've been a very different person. maybe more empowered and articulate, maybe I would've flourished better academically, but perhaps I would've been less grounded.

[@ashuulay]

I came from RGPS and then moved to a coed school for secondary and I’m still very self conscious of boys 😅

[@AllAboutAwesomeness]

ashuulay Well in terms of structural move from RGPS to co-ed, same. I hated boys because they seemed very crude though...Don’t know the nature of RG now

[@yapcheuyee6277]

the teachers in rgps are soooo nice so when i went to a all-girls sec school i found that the teachers were more strict in academics esp because you have no boys arnd and what's there to stress abt emotional state you know, as so chers thought

[@renderz8435]

heylo! im from rgps too! i still remember miss ho soo peng, my fav lower pri teacher haha. i graduated in 2010 though o.0 i went to a mixed sec sch after that and i hated guys cause they were immature and playful. i didnt really notice guys so i didnt feel self conscious but i sure did have a cultural shock from rgps to a mixed sec sch

[@sammyeatchips]

9:06 i fully agree with this part omg. i’m not from an all girls’ school but when i was in secondary school, i also had this one good friend who would treat me like i’m her world and ignore me the next day. i would always wonder what i did wrong. she would glare at me like i did something wrong like wtf? it’s been 4 years and we are no longer friends. life is like that. hahaha.

[@linnychern]

taeyeon _fan same... that girl even turned other classmates against me. it’s okay! People like that are not worth our time and thoughts :)

[@sammyeatchips]

Please share a version on boy's school culture!

[@rachelyay2572]

On the hair for hope note, I think I had a very different girls school experience. My school actually encourages hair for hope, like they even got hairdressers to come to the school itself so it would be more convenient for people to participate in this cause. And my perspective on the “all girls school girls are bitchy” is that there are bitchy girls everywhere, you just have to learn how to make friends with the right crowd and associate yourself with the right people.

[@kerghhh]

I was from a girls’ school but tbh I cannot relate to this video. And I am very glad to not be able to relate. My school was all about women empowerment and we couldn’t care less about boys. We were too busy pushing boundaries to be the best versions of ourselves.

[@shucklesors]

this comment is really soooo intriguing because the part on boys was really such a small, small, small part of the video. this comment you made actually speaks far far less about women empowerment, its importance in general and self-improvement than something very glaring about you yourself lol

[@Ellie-bp7pt]

I just graduated from CHIJ kcp and actually it's not as bad as everyone thinks it is. just that a lot of people have an bad impression of our school :( but the teachers are very nice and I miss my friends too :(

as someone in a girls school right now, i have to say that the whole pairing thing is damn true cause like in my school (scgs), it’s kind of a known thing that sc girls go with ac (barker or i) guys lol

omg i was from chij olgc before going to chij sjc lol 🌚 i strangely wasn’t that awkward with guys when i went to jc, i think it could be bc i went for tuition classes where there were more guys than girls? also i was surprised u didn’t mention st gabs or montfort when talking about schools we’re often paired up with since sjcians were constantly dating guys from those schools 😂

oh wow I'm from CHIJ OLN and CHIJ SJC too! let me just say that it is a STRUGGLE to talk to guys xD all my life I've grown up being surrounded by girls and I became more comfortable talking to them compared to the opposite sex lol. I'm in Polytechnic now and whenever a guy talks to me, I become extremely self-aware and self-conscious on how I portray myself and all that T_T

[@violetnhz]

Agree abt the Hair for Hope thing - some ppl in my cohort wanted to participate in Hair for Hope. The school management stepped in and said that all Sec 4s weren't allowed to participate because we had O level Oral coming up (and presumably one couldn't go for oral bald). The Sec 3s were allowed to do it so ended up we only had 2 Sec 3 girls participating in it (both my friends). I mean, it was just how things are, I guess we're still in school, so there's certain things that the sch can control, one of it being a "uniform" appearance.

[@xuannnz.]

i was from CHIJ OLN too and when I graduated and went to a coed secondary school and I saw boys I was so shy and awkward to the moon and back I wanna slap my past self omg

[@gawd_jihyo]

Actually it varies whether girls schools girls r ang moh type cuz im frm chij st nicks, and its a sap sch which uses both eng and chi as its first language. Most of the songs we learn in music are chinese-based and whenever someone gives a speech on stage to tge school, it will usually be in both eng n mandarin. Other than that, chij st nicholas girls school also focuses largely on the chinese culture, like we would have programs which immerse us in the chinese culture such as chinese calligraphy, stories on chinese kingdoms and so on.

I also faced the issue of girls who were my friend and suddenly one day they stopped being friends with me when I came back from my mc. this happened back when I was in secondary school several years ago. like almost every time I tried to talk to them they would whisper to each other and talk behind my back while I'm right infront of them, sometimes even laugh in my face or fake smile at me. I ended up making friends with guys instead as strangely guys seems to be more matured and understanding and I tried making friends with other girl group but also faced the same issue of talking bad about me and laugh in my face. but then when I was friend with this guy we always get laughed by others as majority kept thinking we're in relationship but then I took this guy as my younger brother, cause both of us always get bullied/irritated by the rest of the classmates where there's a gang always nothing better to do like to disturb us, be it mocked by appearance wise, like body figure or height. plus I'm older than majority especially this guy friend I'm hanging out with, which I used to be his elder brother's classmate for years. but then again we became friends because not only I knew his brother, but we had in common, which is we're extremely annoyed with majority being so childish/inmatured. like almost every girl in the class gets along with any guy they would laugh and said they're together. and also before all this happened, I had lose friends twice in two years as they advanced to other classes, then I ended up giving up on my education due to not only unable to cope with stress where kept getting laughed for being fat, but also due to health issue, where there's issue with my forehead probably due to accident where my classmate hit my forehead and pubic area with soccer ball, where after this incident I had frequent headache and unable to have proper sleep routine. and all the stress coming from classmates who kept laughing at me for being fat, I couldn't cope cause ive intolerance to stress, which I only found out after years later, which was in the recent year, my doctor told me there's issue with my forehead which leads to unable to cope stress. and after reaching adulthood, I find myself funny as why did I get so emotionally and mentally affected by bullies who laughed at me for being fat, when I'm just tiny little bit overweight. and the funny and ridiculous part was one of the bullies which was in a group of more than five, one of them was even more overweight than me, yet laughed at me. I often laughed at myself for taking it so hard on their immaturity and ruin my education and health. just a. tips to whoever reads my entire comment, just don't take anyone words seriously, majority when after that said all this hurtful words, they would just give excuses of they're joking as they themselves don't remember saying all this, some would even deny.

[@rach1119]

Why are they making it seem like you HAVE to be pretty or extremely nice when boys are around. I’m from a co ed school and majority of us behave the same regardless of the gender we are surrounded with. This is just feeding into the stereotypes..
