UK equivilant of High School in the USA, and some other countries.
Ages range from 11-18 (Years 7-13). Most students leave after their GCSE's in Year 11 to go to college or start working, others stay on in school and do the more harder A-Levels in Sixth Form (Year 12/13), which most then go onto university.

As much as I hate secondary school, I realize I need to succeed in it to do what I want in the future.

Sure, it's British and Scottish and MAYBE even Irish, but in Canada we call it secondary school too. It comes after Elementary School and Middle School, and in more eastern provinces, Junior Secondary.
Usually grades 9-12, or 8-12, 7-12, etc. sometimes too.
The equivalent of high school in the USA, secondary school is under-funded and under-staffed. Buying lunch is optional, and most people are forced to eat outside in all weather conditions because the cafeteria has around 10 tables. It's all catered but is very expensive to buy and not healthy at all. No uniforms or dress code unless people start dressing really risqué, and even then, there's probably no funding to make the uniforms so everyone just wears what they want. The teachers are nice on their good days and terrible on every other day but constantly hint at their small pay-cheques. Our electronics constantly get stolen and we have to get the RCMP in there nearly every day to arrest somebody. No homework because the teachers are too underfunded to get toner for the copier, and you usually end up sharing four to a textbook. It's terrible, really. The only thing we do is watch YouTube videos on the projectors.

Two students are eating lunch outside in -10 celsius conditions.
Student 1: "Today we had to do a science experiment with a voltmeter but the thing didn't work so we had to sit and watch it done on YouTube."
Student 2: "What do you want, that's secondary school for ya."

secondary school is the shithole that 11-18 years old have to to go to, this consists of year 7 that cant walk properly and get in ur way and have backpack the size of them like there going on a camping trip, year 8s that think they own the school and try and act ‘hard’ (dOnT mEsS) year 9s and all the girls are orange. And year 10 and 11s which are just working hard. now in secondary school alot of shit goes down. and i mean alot, there’s probably a fight happening in school every day of the week, there was one in my history lesson and i was laughing me arse off, year 7s that get bullied, push over, teased and more and say ‘but you were a year 7 once’ when you say something about them. everyone just goes crazy basically. lets talk about the school itself, now if you school doesn’t have brown stuff (drk what it is) on the ceiling and it is half broken, shit toliets that are broken and Radnor fizz, do you even go to secondary school?
day in secondary school:
year 9+ ‘oi look at that year 7 he lookes like a proper neek init’
year 7 ‘but you were a year seven once’
year 9+ *pushes year 7 other*
year 7 *starts crying*
year 9+ ‘oi look at that year 7 he lookes like a proper neek init’
year 7 ‘but you were a year seven once’
year 9+ *pushes year 7 other*
year 7 *starts crying*

British equivalent to torture. You are forced to wake up early, wear an over-priced, crappy uniform and sit through hours of mind control and brain washing. Most of the people at secondary school end up either dropping out or becoming severely depressed. Very few are actually happy in this prison-like institution, and even fewer make it out alive.

Your worst nightmare, the land of death and uniform policies. STRETCHY MATERIAL? GET IT OFF. SKINNY TROUSERS? GET RID. PLASTIC MATERIAL SHOES? IN THE BIN. They only care about uniform, no your education does not matter. GET THEM KNEES AWAY ITS RUINING LIVES.
Lilly: Secondary school is terrible
Katie: Yeah they only care about uniform
Everyone: AGREED, SECONDARY SCHOOL IS TRASH.

A school from kids/teens from 11-18. Throughout the years you turn into a chav. You loose your virginity and you probably do drugs and smoke. Year 8+ bully the new year 7s. One of the most shit places in the world
secondary school summed up is like this:
year 7: “oi what you sayin bruv ill smash your face in innit”
year 10: pulls him against the lockers
year 10: shut up you little cocky fuckin kid”
year 7: “ayo you can’t do nothin blud ill just tell innit”
year 7: “oi what you sayin bruv ill smash your face in innit”
year 10: pulls him against the lockers
year 10: shut up you little cocky fuckin kid”
year 7: “ayo you can’t do nothin blud ill just tell innit”
