Is homosexuality common at boarding school?
The school I attended was a co-educational school. That is the boys and girls were in the same lessons. The only difference was they were in different dormitories and sports were single sex.
So place yourself in the shoes of a young child far from home. With nobody to cuddle them when they are sad or hurt. What happens - well these children have a few options.
(1) Crush any desire for affection and touch.
(2) Seek this from other children.
Many of us, who have attended boarding school from a young age, learn (1) and we will usually have gone through (2), been thoroughly humiliated then learn to do (1).
Bearing in mind that dormitories are single sex I think this answers the question of where (2) comes from.

MTM: You know affection is needed when it calls. It would only seem irrational to NOT express, partake, provide or receive something so natural as intimacy. And you don't even need to call it homosexuality or anything.
At some point, one has to decide which is more important: (1) the expression of something good that it enriches the participants or (2) the illogical prejudice of some spectators that it destroys (1).

The first time boarding can be quite intimidating and frustrating. All the school rules to follow and stuff. But after a while, you get into the spirit and begin to have fun. It just sorts grows on you! Growing up is not bad, but should take place in well balanced environment, stable and well structured way. For busy parents who cannot devote much time to their children, to join their children in boarding schools is a nice option, where the school can take up the responsibility.Girls Boarding Schools UK

Generally,children who are naughty and disobedient are sent to boarding schools to change their attitude and instill a sense of discipline.Boarding schools function on strict timetables and children are required to be punctual for all classes including academic and extracurricular ones.International Schools in Bannerghatta Road
