Agreed, and all these kids are the products of their upbringing and background. Non have probably come across kids from many other backgrounds and so, unlike adults who know how to curb their personalities to fit in, these kids appear to be almost caricatures of their home, family and education.

Harry M has come in for a lot of stick here. Why? He's at public school. Like it's his fault?

being a teenager, i disagree. its not going to public school thats the problem, its his attitude full stop, and he's a glory hunter, which in a team effort never does you any good. he may be aloof for all we know, editing can be awful!

Because going to a public school makes you arrogant C'mon now, I like Harry M, think he could win, but this just made me

On a side note, I did get the gay vibe from Lewis and thought he fancied Harrry M.. it doesn't matter why and it's none of my business, it was just a bit interesting

Don't stereotype him. I live near a public school and have found the kids no better or worse than those at the local grammar schools. In fact, some of the grammar school kids are SOOOOO arrogant that I'm sure they don't like to breathe the same air as us mortals.

I agree, that at times he does seem to confirm the stereotype but in my experience, that stereotype doesn't really exist any more.

16 - 17 year olds are not kids, they are young adults.

Lewis is quite a tragic character... I cringe whenever he tries to communicate with people. I did lol when the guy was showing him the rucksack, and lewis said "will it break if you drop it?" like its a bottle of wine or something...

Dara would have had a field day with lewis on the 'your fired' show.

I wouldn't have thought Harry M is the only Public School one though, there must be others? Harry H gives off an air of coming from a wealthy family. I don't think it's purely a public school thing, it's just a general air of superiority that people are perhaps finding unlikeable.

I think you misunderstood I said that the general stereotype is those from a public school are arrogant, which is, clearly bull. I actually went to a public school, and I wouldn't particularily call myslef arrogant! Sorry for the confusion
