But it may make you a different person.
Yes. It may effect the amount and type of bullying students receive as well. I know someone that was attacked by another student at his private high school for having a gay friend. It was a very prestigious christian school. I encountered a student at uni that was from a well off family and went to a private high school that had less independence than I did at 12. I wasn't an anomaly at my school. Most of them aren't that bad, but many are noticeably spoilt and immature. I probably could have got a scholarship to a private school if I wanted to, but I wasn't keen on the culture of a lot of them. After seeing private schools influence my brother and some friends I'm glad I didn't. Bianca
