14 things you'll remember if you went to an all-girls school

Rolling up skirts, periods, and fancying male teachers.

Aside from that, however, anyone who went to an all-girls secondary school will remember…

Fancying every male teacher

Even if they weren’t remotely attractive.

Having to abide by silly uniform rules but pushing things as far as you could

Even if that meant the head teacher would stop you in the corridor with makeup remover and force you to take it off then and there.
