While there can be an upside to a boarding school education, many of us
ex-boarders remember abandonment, pressure to conform, lack of privacy and
other wounding experiences which it can be hard to acknowledge or share,
especially in a culture where it is the positive aspects of boarding school
that are mostly emphasized.
Guardedness and risk avoidance are not a good basis for intimate adult
relationships, and many of us grow up to find that the self-preserving strategies
which served us well at boarding school now hinder us from being in ‘right
relationship’ with ourselves or others.
