Should boys & girls attend separate high schools !

NO ! , I don't think boys and girls should attend different high schools !

Its would be hard to get use to the changes of different schools for the students
But students can choose to be in separate schools if they wanted to .
People don't really like to be around their own gentler to long for lost of reasons,
Some people have their boy friends or girls freinds around and like to be in school with them so they know what they are doing or if they are insecoue of them .


The changes of the school if the government decides to change and the students are seperated , it would brake out with a big problem people would get unhappy there would be fights and argiments with the students .

Some people are insecoue , some girls don't like to be around over gentler
for example girls think other girls are like "drama gueens "and can't stand being around them .

People would be starting to get bored of each other just seeing boys or just girls because they like to have boys like friend and have more boys as friends then girls .

there would just be big problems maybe they just choose to be in just their gentler and maybe if so students decide not to go to school and skip or stay home .
