1. Having to wear these "sensible school shoes".
2. Or these ballet pumps when you got a bit older.
3. Wearing a uniform in the ugliest version of any primary colour.
4. These makeshift PE bags:
5. Learning everything about sex from the first person to lose their virginity.
6. And knowing the details of everyone's sex lives.
7. Rolling your school skirt up because the uniform policy called for it to basically be at your ankles.
8. Having a love-hate relationship with the boys' school nearby.
9. Adjusting your tights in the middle of the corridor or during class.
10. And putting clear nail polish on the holes in your tights to stop them ripping even more.

12. Performing a successfully shady "pad deal".
13. Wearing thick, wooly tights for 6 months of the year because you never wanted to shave.
14. Having no such thing as TMI.
15. Finding girls crying in the toilets.
16. Gossiping about the most mindless shit and yet still being incredibly riveted.
17. And finding literally anything to bitch about.

19. Seeing the first person bring their boyfriend to school.
20. Covering your jewellery for PE.
21. Having a cute but slightly impractical school handbag.
22. Taking these kind of group pictures.
23. And spending all day talking to your best mate at school, and then spending the evening on MSN to them too.
