What Do You Think of a Boys Only School?

We don't have them in our country. Sounds intriguing, maybe boring or what, or just 'normal' when it's all you know?
At a certain age (primary school) girls and boys coexisted separately mostly anyway...
It probably depends if you've had contacts with relatives, friends or neighbours elsewhere... And how the school actually was, one reads about all sorts of things too.. (both in 'mixed' and 'boys/girls-only' schools...)

I think one sex school isn't exactly a fab idea. I was in an all girls school, for 10 years actually, and it develops problems communicating with the opposite sex. I was already 16 when I left the school, and barely spoken even a sentence to boys because there were none around.

I wish I could dress up as a boy and go to an all boys school :

Co-ed school is part of the reason why I have SA to begin with. Girls sure love spreading ridiculous rumors and making each others' lives a living hell.

I was never in a boys-only school; however, during the tenth grade, I was placed in an all boys class for English, Chemistry, and Government because of some idiotic honors program thing. The administration's justification was that it would prevent distractions. I remember feeling much more uncomfortable in the all boys classes than in the mixed-sex classes. Many of the boys were incredibly obnoxious and/or arrogant. It was very intimidating. As far as distractions go, the boys in these classes spent more time "horsing around" than in the normal mixed-sex classes. I did not like it.

a place that i'm glad I never went, if there was no girls around i would have went insane, not because they are beautiful to look at but because 90% of my closest friends are girls and I couldn't live without them
I went to an all boys school. Not through choice. I didn't like it. Mostly because of the people. Like others have said, people were rough, arrogent and just messed around in most of my classes, until perhaps the last 2 years or somthing when I was put in slghtly better ones. Of course at the time due to being shy anyway, I might have thought girisl would make things even worse anxiety wise. But it woul have (at least I think) been a better atmosphere for me if there were. And of course it didn't hep me know any girls, having no access to any. Probabaly one reason for how I am in that way today.

My mother went to a girl's only school, she didn't have brothers or a father figure and now feels very different around guys vs females. It made her see men as this special and unavailable life force as weird as that sounds, and around any guy she will end up trying very hard and not being herself. They make her feel very uncomfortable, as well. I think it's a good set up for an abusive relationship for her. So I don't like the idea of one-gender-schools, they ill prepare you for your life and cause too much separation between the sexes. I feel like it can make relationships very detached because it gives this feeling of being on one side with the females, and de-humanizing males as this goal or idealist figure...
That partly is how it feel it made me feel about females haha. Although I am always myself.
And mikebird: I attempted "A levels" also, (didn't get them but stayed on anyway hah), and although for those 2 years it was slightly intergrated, it was only slightly, and there were still very few hah. And the few that were there of course had the more confident, trendy or whatever guys to talk to hahah.
