length: 885 words 2.5 double spaced pages school days are the happiest days of your life? when i was given this assignment, my initial reaction was this is easy! half an hours writing homework complete. Fifteen minutes later i find that it is incredibly difficult to sort out the jumble of thoughts, memories and feelings, that are fighting each other in the race to be the first to blot this pristine white page. I mean, certainly a not immodest percentage of school, compared with life today was carefree but by no means all of it. My over riding recollections of school are the memories of never quite fitting in the never quite making it into the 'in crowd.' not that i wanted in, you understand.

I wanted to be different not another lemming just not so different that i stood out. If your friend stuck her hand in the fire would you do it too? well the answer to that was no, and when you said so, mum would smile and say, of course not love, you have your own mind. I was left feeling proud of myself for being 'different', but oh god, i still wanted that denim jacket, or those adidas trainers, or to stay out for that extra half an hour or the myriad of other 'things' that would have enabled me to fit in. With four kids to buy for i feel mum used the lemming story no us, just so she wouldn't have to say i can't afford it. At school, every deficit, both real and imagined between you and the 'in crowd' made you insecure. It could be your haircut, shoes or even just the number of pleats our gym skirt had.

I was only 81/2 stones! i would kill to be that weight again and as for my other two attributes? my boobs started growing in p.6. By p.7, i was into my first bra and didn't the bra less school bully love me! by third year, my chest rivaled sam foxes! my bust was a shapely 34dd couple that to a 24 waist and 35 hips, i must have had a figure to die for. So what was the problem? well, unfortunately the girls i wanted to be like were more akin to kate moss than sammy fox you know the type, tall and thin with no discernable bust or hips. I felt like a freak i walked around school for the whole five years with my shoulders rounded, sucking in my non existent stomach! i remember at the start of second year, being bought knee high white socks.

They were hand picked by myself, and had a very elegant criss cross diamond pattern down one side. On the second week of wearing them, the elastic on one sock broke, and the stupid thing would gradually slide down my leg as i walked. She did three weeks of mortification later within days of proudly wearing my new 'stay ups', an 'in girl' decided it would be cool to wear your socks bunched around your ankles and did my mum allow me to bunch up my new socks? like hell she did. I was the only girl in my class to wear i think older generations must look back on their school days through the milky glaze of cataracts, when they say that school days were the happiest. I would buy into that sentimentality about primary school, but i'm still young enough to remember the insecurities, angst and loneliness of secondary school, fuelled as they were by the raging hormones of puberty, and the overwhelming need to conform.
