5. Rolling Up Your Skirt Was A Form Of Rebellion

Chances are, your school was pretty strict. They didn't necessarily smack your hand with a ruler but they might as well have with their disappointed looks and speeches, especially if you broke the six inch rule... You did everything you could to break the rules; you would briefly touch the hand of your love interest when you walked past each other in the corridor, girls would roll up their skirts so it was sitting above and not below their knee whilst wearing clear mascara for extra effect. Boys would tie the fattest knot they could muster on their tie and not even have the tip touch the waistband on their trousers. You guys were subtle, but you were slowly crushing the system.
