Ex Private school student: Idgaf who calls me posh, going to private school is a genuine privelage and the majority of private school students are posh. At my school navy and armed forces students went free so guess I'd be offended if i was called posh in that scenario but I wasn't, and consider myself incredibly lucky

They’re all so brave, thank you for sharing their stories.
