Because of this, Sheffielders cannot swim outdoors, consequently, Penelope participated in other activities better suited for the weather: horseback riding on Sunday and Stephenhill Youth Club meetings on Friday- everyone I knew belonged to one youth club or another.

She notes that Sheffield teenagers seem to socialize more than RHSers, even though in England one cannot drive until 18. And because of the lower standard of living in Sheffield, most families can afford only one car: so at 18, most Sheffielders still do not get their licenses. In the fall, she enrolled in Tapton Comprehensive School. The major difference between Tapton and RHS concerns discipline.
