A Memory of Fornethy Residential School.

My memory of this horrible place was if you never liked any food you were made to eat it all, even if you were sick. I was very young at the time possibly between 6-9 years old 1976-79. The water was freezing cold when you had a shower. I used to wet the bed as I was so scared and upset of not being at home and I was made to stand outside my dormitory with my wet nightdress on and my mattress at the side to show everyone I had wet the bed. The only thing I liked about it was that you got to watch a movie on a Saturday night and I loved the wee hut that was like a shop in the garden, I used to hide in there. I remember going out for long walks even when it was pouring of rain and in the dark.
