Having an identical twin always seemed to make me and my sister a bit of an oddity at school. Plus we moved a fair bit. I never seemed to make friends in junior school as we were never there that long. It wasn't until I started senior school in Rye when I was 14 that I made friends. My best mate was a boy called Gareth. We'd go fishing together. Make tapes and post them to each other in the school holidays. I think girls have a harder time at school "friend wise" than boys. Girls can be mean. However, I would consider my time at secondary school a happy time. As always, great thread.
