Probably the only town in America where the local TV station chose to air Aljazeera coverage and commentary of 9-11 the week of the 10th anniversary.

Amherst can be distinguished from other towns in the U.S. by the same name in several ways: 1) the "H" is silent; 2) your neighbors' sexuality is made your business; 3) the monstrous sense of entitlement leaves visitors breathless and dumbstruck; 4) the clergy preach Legalism or Humanism instead of the Gospel; 5) defiance is the prevailing sentiment, and 6) the residents believe they are the holy standard by which all other humans should be judged.

Amherst, Massachusetts is the best place to make one's disrespectful, rebellious dreams come true.

A quaint town, about 25 minutes west of Cleveland, Ohio. It has a nice downtown area, and is an upper-middle class town. The fucked up school system really ruins the town, though. The preppy brats always make fun of you if you're not rich. There's stoners and emos who are only like that because of the constant bullying from the wealthy kids. It's not as bad as Avon, Ohio or Westlake, Ohio but it's still pretty a pretty damn awful place for poor people to live.
Meghan: Hmm... I think I want to move to Amherst.

Joe: You will regret it. You have to have a lot of money, and you must know someone within the system to be successful there.
Meghan: I think I will move to Oberlin now.

Joe: Oberlin, Ohio is wonderful! Amherst, Ohio is so bad.

Amherst High School is a low budget school made for people who drop out before they are even a Sophomore. Vape in the bathroom is the most popular thing, everyone will ask you for dip as soon as you mention anything about Copenhagen or god forbid Grizzly. Everyone is either a complete thot, drug abuser, nerd, band nerd, emo, or a fuck boy. Amherst High School is a 2/10 wouldn't get gum cancer again.

A school full of fake people. Most girls are orange, has small tits, no ass, and is just as much a whore as any girl they've talked shit about. Most guys are douchebags, going to eventually dropout, has huge gauges, does any kind of drug they can get their hand on, and probably will never get a decent, respectable job. Despite the epic fail for a football team, people are still proud of it, and players talk like their shit doesn't stink. A place where drugs fly around about as much as rumors do. If you like to jump on the Fucktard Bandwagon, Amherst High School is the place for you.

A shitty school filled with snobby white people who try to act ghetto. The school is famous for its abundance of "potheads" who smoke once a week than brag about for months and are obviously super badass for doing it. The school is also filled with sluts and manwhores who blame each other for their problems. The few chill people there are usually the ones people hate and dont talk to and the teachers suck more than the girls suck dick (a lot).
John: Oh my good dude I totally got high last month. Im such a stoner.

Ally: I know and sucked some guys cock last week! Going to amherst steele highschool is so fun.
