Is anyone else fed up with high school teens

Is anyone else fed up with high school teens?
I'm tired of the evil, mean, annoying jerks in high-school. I'm tired of the drama, and the way they talk about drinking, and drugs, and MTV! Its annoying, I hate it when they pick on me and throw stuff because they think its funny! This is the reason why I'm going to Japan after high-school, and out to the Air Force!(One of a lot, I want to serve my country too) Anyone else feel the same?

I'm older than you, so I have forgotten about most of this. But I see high school kids downtown when they wait for the bus after school. And I hafta say that they behave like total foul-mouthed morons. They call each other the filthiest of names and say very threatening things to each other. Maybe to them it is cool to be this tough. I just think they are friggin @ss-h_les. I fully sympathize with you and it sounds like you will make something of yourself. Unlike those idiots you put up with.

Omg yes, the standards in high school today as compared like 20 years ago is unbelievable, a mentally disabled person can go through high school easy.
4 :
um i'm one of those people but im nice.
5 :
Yeah, high school sucks. Anyone who says that high school was the best 4 years of thier life, was either the popular kid or drunk/high half the time to even notice anything.
6 :
i think there can be some mean high school teens but i think we have some nice ones around too as well.
7 :
the only thing GOOD about my high school years (which I have just completed, thank god!) is that I met the most amazing people in the world their (my best friends). keep your chin up man! it will be over soon, i promise! work hard and dream about your future! you don't need bums like those!

That's because high school is a cruel place of psychological torture and emotional dismemberment. Sometimes you gotta give it to 'em, though. I used to be the quiet one, the one everyone took advantage of. Sometimes you have to establish a real reputation for yourself. Not a bad one, a unique one. Throw sh*t back, and have a blast in Japan. Good luck, bro. :)

Not all high school teens are annoying or mean. Just find people who you enjoy hanging out with and stick with them, and ignore the rest.

No. Japanese schooling is better and the culture is interesting.

Weird.....Actually, wanting something away from Massachusetts is a good start, mainly because of the huge amount of Libs/Democrats. Wanting the experience of a different culture is admirable. Stay open minded, your going to go far in life.
4 :
You DON'T want to experience japanese school life, trust me. Most public school's look like they've been targeted by at least a dozen atomic bombs. Most schools are cleaned by the students, which mean that you can never find a clean toilet, or clean spot at all. The ventilation system works badly and most schools don't have any heat in october and november, only december which makes them freezingly cold. The teachers only give lectures, they NEVER involve the students in the teaching like we do it here in Sweden. No discussions, free thinking or anything that could even give you a hint that it's actual, living people sitting on the desks in the classrooms. Short version: If you're a robot uncapable of both creativity and freezing, japanese school is great for you. Otherwise stay away.

An 85 is a fine average to be an exchange student. "Top" academic students aren't the only ones who qualify. That one might even get you some scholarship opportunities if you apply early. If you go through a solid, recognized program, generally speaking your school WILL give you some credit for your year -- usually foreign language, social studies, independent study and sometimes even math and/or science. Work with your counselor to schedule around your year -- you may find you have to take a correspondence or summer course to graduate on time however. Colleges and universities love former exchange students and many offer preferred admissions and/or scholarship opportunities (YFU even has a list). The top three programs to try are AFS, YFU and Rotary http://www.yfu.org/ http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home http://www.rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/youthprograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx

You're right about it not being the same over here in terms of broadening your knowledge of the Japanese culture and language. I took Japanese my first year of college and it was nothing compared to when I lived there for a summer. However, go to school here. I believe SDSU has a program where you can study at Waseda University which is known for being very open to foreigners unlike Tokyo University. As for the other UC's and other Cal States, you'd have to research that on your own, but since it's public I doubt they would have a problem with you studying abroad for a semester or year and then just transferring credits. Why take such a huge risk at your age? Few people know where they REALLY want to live at your age. Since you speak Japanese, you wouldn't have a problem finding a job over there, because you would be fluent in both languages, not to mention you would have experience living in Japan from your travels. Your degree here guarantees your credibility in the U.S. if there's a chance you ended up not wanting to live there after college. You don't want to end up with a degree from Japan, then moving to the States looking for a job.
