I went an all-girls Catholic school, and I loved it. We, the student body, as a whole, were snobs because we were proud to have been admitted into one of the hardest HS to get into in NYC. We were very sweet, supportive, nice, kind, and loving towards one another. There wasn't any Homecoming Queen competition, etc like in a "typical" HS. You were "well-known" in my school, not "popular". Sure, some girls were more liked than others because they had great personalities, but in my school, the smarter you were, the more admired you were. We really did base school elections on grades, overall school involvement, volunteer activities, etc. We were very ahead of our time, very mature. Since there were no guys to worry about, we focused on helping each other and never cut each other down. Teasing was extremely rare, and if it DID happen, it was frowned upon by your peers. I can't tell you how many girls were my cheering squad every time I announced I was on a diet!!LOL

I was well-liked because I was (and still am) so damned funny, wacky, and kooky!

My wonderful HS experience helped fuel my desire to belong to a sorority because I thought it would be the same, and it is...and it isn't...LOL I've figured out that there are others that still think of life as HS and always will. I love being a very diplomatic woman. My HS taught me a lot. My children will attend single-sex educational institutions for HS....
