N2  - A longitude study was conducted with a 10% representative sample of one entry year cohort of first cycle secondary school students in Trinidad and Tobago. Three classroom groups were observed and students and school personnel interviewed. Results indicated that most students liked coming to school even through the number so responding  decreased each year. Experience in school evoked a range of feelings and emotions. Among the more positive was a feeling of belonging which was not prevalent among girls. The more negative emotions were fear, shame and a variety of other deriving from school based hurts.  More males than females spoke of events filled with fear and shame
