I don't know about high schools in other places, but here it is where everybody starts to either become serious or goofs off.... lol, anyway, I think schools are like miniature cities with all the different social structures, etc.... lol, adults are all like, kids don't know anything about the real world! but I think we start a whole lot earlier on the real world than they did... Anyway, just think of it as a place where this person pays that guy to do his homework and the girl over there is wondering if her boyfriend's best friend keyed her car, etc... It's just a big tangled up web of prejudice and popularity mind games... Sometimes I wonder if I should go back to homeschool... homeschool= better lunches, better schedule, no on the spot times, .... no social oppertunities.... hmm.... Anyway, it's basically the place where you go to see the most drama... lol, I'm not quite there though.. I'm in middle school, last year of middle school... (8th grade) Anyway, I hope this helped! Oh ya, and middle school teachers are almost always better than high school teachers.....

I'm currently a high school Junior. But here's a typical day for me: I arrive at school around 7:30 (I drive myself to school) and school starts at 8:15. Classes are an hour long, so I go to Chemistry, then English III, then U.S. History, and then I have lunch for about 20-25 minutes. After that, I have my Dual Credit Precalculus class (by this time it's about 1:15pm) and I have my 6th class free, so I am a guidance aide, and run things around the school for the counselors, and the assistant principal. Then my last class is Spanish II. The school day is over for me at 3:15 but it depends on where you go to school.
American high schools are very sport oriented. Football and Basketball are the 2 main sports played but in bigger schools, you have almost any team you can think of (i.e. hockey, lacrosse, rugby, bowling, swimming, diving, etc)
There is also a LOT of drama and LOTS of cliques. Preps, goths, emos, sk8ers etc. But there are loads of chances to go to social events (homecoming, prom etc) and just to hang out with friends. It's a great place to meet new people. But can be VERY overwhelming at times, I think this past semester has been the hardest ever, but then Junior year is the one that really counts.

I go to school in Canada. I guess that the courses would be a little easier than the schools in say England or places in Asia. In our school, we focus mostly on info tech and sports ( i'm in gr 10 btw)

It's not a really big deal. You want really good grades to get into a good college, but mainly people are trying to figure out how dating works, and trying to decide what to do when they grow up.

It's a snake pit!
The athletes & cheerleaders rule----despite the fact that they will all be lard-o 5 years later.
I HATED HS--it is so NOT like the real world at all!

Its probably like any other high school. A lot of english and math and history pushers.
