Also, being Scottish, and the only local schools being Catholic and Protestant, sectarianism was very prominent, with fights breaking out between both schools. And I don't mean a few pupils from each school fighting each other, I mean like hundreds of pupils from each school marching to meet each other, with claw hammers and chisels from the tech department, having full scale brawls after school that innocent pupils walking home (myself included) got caught up in, with the police having to come and split it up, all because they didn't approve of each other's beliefs. I try to distance myself from that too.
