anilzakhanz, I agreed with you, most of us scare to be alone and lonely all the time especially those don't have any siblings. Advantages stay in the residential school, we can share our leisure time with our beloved friends. But, does this mean we only share the leisure time in the residential school period? I think if you are socialable kind of person, you go everywhere, everyone is your friends. This does not need to be must stay in the residential school, then you only can have all those happiness time with your beloved friends in the residential school. Cool

And for those who like their child to stay with you, make sure that you will not lose you attention to them. Children needs parents attention. Give them a bit freedom. Nothing more, nothing less. Childrem needs friends too. Don't just ask them to stay at home and that my friend, will invite a major problem....run away from home, involve in drugs, and etc. You have to know who are their friends, what are they involve in and anything else for that matter.

Zam, are you sure they must buy the form before entering the residential school? Zam, do you think you are good child? IF you parents say yes, will you say NO to them? No right? So, is there any choice for you to say NO that ' I don't want to say in the residential school?' At the end, you have to go and fill in the form unhappily right? So, does this mean you happy or unhappy? You feel force or not force by your parents?

The disadvantages are that you will miss you parents and family. Sometimes you will become home sick and what you miss most is your mother's cooking. But nowadays the students can easily call their parents anytime they like when they are longing for them. In some residential schools there are only for girls or boys, so they don't have the opportunities to mix with different sex groups. For the boys maybe they miss to tease their little brothers or sisters. They cannot go out of the hostel any time they like,they have to obey the rules provided by the headmaster or the warden or otherwise they will be punished. At times during the weekends they have to do the compound cleanings or any other activities together.
