Why do kids in Japan have to go straight home after school

Why do kids in Japan have to go straight home after school?
Ok so when I read the manga Loveless and the the manga Girl Friends the people in it would say that they had to go straight home after school and if they didn't the teachers would get mad. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it because they don't want them walking around in public in their uniforms?

It might just be because of their culture.
2 :
to wok their dogs
3 :
Could have something to do with the uniforms; maybe so that they don't get them dirty? The schooling culture there is quite strict compared to North America, so they probably have different rules about all that stuff.
4 :
Because it's a manga magazine. How real are the depiction of U.S. High Schools on T.V. shows?
5 :
It's because they see American teens who are all so fucked up because they don't go right home and lack good parenting. They don't want to become like them.
6 :
It's probably to study. In many Japanese schools, they have clubs that require their members to stay after school for club activities. There's something like a "go home right after school club" (non official) where the students who did not join clubs just go straight home. Perhaps that specific school did not want their students to join clubs but generally, not all Japanese students go straight home after school, and they do hang out with friends after school too.

I think it was to keep children safe and out of trouble.

Study in Japan as a High School Student HELP

Study in Japan as a High School Student HELP?
It is my senior year of highschool and I graduate in three months. I have been studying Japanese for 3 years and I want to study for a whole school year in japan as a high school student. BEFORE YOU SAY THAT I CANT BECAUSE IM ALREADY GRADUATING READ FIRST! There are still lots of people who graduate highschool and still go to high school over there for a whole senior year. This is why I'm asking. I would love to go to Japan and study as a high school student and get in touch with my heritage (my dad is full japanese but he never bothered to teach me). If anyone could help me look up online websites to study abroad in japan i would be most appreciative. IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH A PROGRAM LIKE THIS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.

Well one, it's very expensive from what I hear, just a typical plain ticket on coach class to Japan costs around 2,000$. Your class fees (or any other fees relating to your education) will also costs some where in the low thousands. You must also take into account that living expenses are HUGE in japan, eating your 3 square meals a day will burn a MAJOR hole in your pocket if you're not careful. However if you and your parents are fine with the costs, the next problem YOU MIGHT encounter is the language, but if you have been doing japanese for 3 years, you probably have no problem :) But all in all, if I were you, I'd wait until sophomore year of college before I go, it will lighten to expenses immensely.

I like this girl, but I don't see her a lot. We were good friends in middle school. How should I tell her

I like this girl, but I don't see her a lot. We were good friends in middle school. How should I tell her?
We also went on a school trip to japan. We have a good chemistry, but i'm just worried that if i tell her over facebook it won't work out.

BE A MAN. Tell her face-to-face or on the phone.

Uhm, don't tell her over Facebook. Hiding behind a screen isn't exactly a big turn on for us girls. Call her up and hang out with her. One-on-one is more intimate and honest :] Good luck.
3 :
start hanging out with her in person more often, then after a few times just tell her
4 :
Tell her face-to-face. You can tell her on FB to meet you somewhere for you to tell her, but do NOT say it over FB. That way she can't tell if a friend hacked your account or dared you to say it and she can't tell how much you like her.
