Abstract: Vocational school girls' response to regulations, perception and coping logicis analyzed in two different approaches: body structure mode and body action mode in the perspective of the sociology of body. The study reveals that considering the shared identity as “poor students”, vocational schools no longer highlight students' academic performance, but focus on “rulesobeying” and “extracurricular activities”; Vocational schools set for students a foreseeable future, which is, however, rejected by vocational school girls who have their own career planning; Girls in vocational schools have perceived the school structural constraints, but have no power to defy them. As a result, they come out with two set of completely different coping strategies inside and outside schools. At school, they present themselves as “good girls”, abiding by school rules and regulations. Outside school, they appear to be “bad girls” who smoke, drink and have romance with “rogues” in bars and KTVs. They pin their hope on the outside of the school, longing for love, marriage and family. Hopefully, this study will bring a better understanding of the special group of vocational school girls.

Key words:  , vocational school girls, regulations and reconstruction, perception of structure, double logic
