As I sat on the bus, I could hear the teenage boys around me talking about the fight they were going to have with their rivals.
Knives were mentioned. I shrank into my seat, terrified. Later, in an ungainly attempt at chivalry, these same boys would show the 'posh' girl — me — which school entrances we needed to use to avoid the 'dangerous' pupils.
This was the early 1990s and the thought of a knife was shocking. Especially, perhaps, to a naive former public school-girl like me. Like anyone, my school days shaped me for the rest of my life, but I had a sudden plunge from sheltered childhood into rather rougher waters.
