i am from a girl school, so?

found this piece from a friend’s blog. although i couldn’t agree to it much, i thought i could share it with you guys.

她來自女校

「妳是女校生吧 ﹗」差不多每次認識新朋友，都避不過對方的「法眼」。

初時覺得奇怪，難道我額頭刻上「女校出品」四個字嗎﹖後來憑著經驗累積，

我也培養出一種獨特的觸覺，就是茫茫人海中感應到誰是「同類」— 女校長大的學生。　　

原來，很多女校生真的有著相似的性格特質。她們爽朗、不拘小節、大情大性﹔

當然，在某些人看來，或許是粗魯，「男仔頭」的同義詞。

她們有的以硬朗形象、中性打扮，成為校內人人仰慕的「風頭躉」。

當中不少更是籃球隊、排球隊等運動兒，充當男生角色，保護其他柔弱的女生。　　

這麼說來，女校生一定不夠溫柔了吧﹖那又不然。性格開朗堅強，也可以擁有溫柔貼心的一面。

很多時候，自然流露的親情身體語言，便是彼此關懷愛護的象徵 — 幾名女孩相擁或笑或哭、手繞手一起上洗手間……

女生表現友情的方式一向比較「癡纏」，即使朝夕相對，仍是喜歡透過文字或其他媒介「交心」，

從前寫信、寫紙仔，如今流行手機SMS。

除了共同氣質，還有共同「受訓」經驗。一般女子學校的校規格外嚴謹，
強調女性外表是可展現優良校風。　

學生的頭髮不能太短，否則像男孩子；校服裙要及膝，否則有失女性矜持；
不能穿「打底褲」，否則間接鼓吹粗魯行為。　

在女校中學成長的我，永遠忘不了大學時期回到母校，校長一臉惋惜地跟我說私一番話﹕
「你為何穿球鞋呢﹖一點也不lady–like啊﹗」

你在女校生活了幾多年呀？　

有誰共鳴

different girls’ schools have very different characteristics, i have been in two; and they are totally different. belilians are very active (at least in ECAs), and clarians comparingly are quite passive.
also, i would say not every girls’ schools’ principal would have the reaction like the one described a both. after all, a school is looking forward to nurture successful girls rather than some lady-like dumbs.

anyway, i still like girls’ schools better than co-ed schools – i have had my very free and happy teenagehood, i did things that girls in co-ed school seldom do, i have some very good girlfriends and it didn’t really deprive me from knowing the opposite sex. what more can i ask for?

ETA: 再者, lady-like與否是很objective的, 你覺得lady-like的, 我可能覺得一點都不lady-like。
