A prison for teenagers who didn't do anything wrong, where we take even worse bullshit from the system than actual convicts. You spend your time trying to stay awake in class, trying to impress people you despise deep down, trying to make time for homework and sports, and chasing that hot girl you've wanted to fuck since 8th grade. Most people get the first 3 okay, but the fourth one is where it starts to fall apart. First, you'll try the "nice guy" approach, and when that gets rejected, you'll try the "popular prep" approach, and when she ignores you again, you'll go for that "asshole jock" approach. If you manage to sink this low, then maybe her shallow, bitchy mind will finally notice you. Even if you do have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, everything you do spreads around like wildfire, and if you manage to say 1 thing wrong, you lose your girlfriend, and most likely, all the friends you ditched to make your shallow relationship work. Then, there are your "friends". Everyone acts nice to your face, but the second you turn your back, they start talking shit about you. And you only know this because that's exactly what you do to them. To put it short, everyone in high school is an insecure, shallow kiss-ass conformist. Yes, even the goths and emos are conformists. If they weren't, they wouldn't be stereotypes. High school fucks you up like nothing else can.
On the first day of high school
My mom: Hey, high school's gonna be great.
Freshman me: Cool, I'll try to enjoy it
After I come back
mom: How was your first day of high school?
me: I hate everyone.

Get the High Schoolmug. In the UK, people attend high school from the ages 11-16, then move on to college if they pass their GCSE'S (leaving exams). Pretty much the same as US high school, but slightly better I reckon.
I've never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I think the representation of High School being a porthole to hell is pretty accurate.

Get the High Schoolmug. 
a place where everyone is broken up into separate tribes/cliques/crews/posses/etc. usually a clique would have this kind of layout: leader->advisor->members->new recruits->weakest links
the leader: the head honcho in the pack. he/she holds the power in the group. everyone wants to be his/her friend. forget him, he doesn't need you.
the leader's advisor: the best friend of the leader, keeps the leader posted on every happening inside and outside the clan. usually the guy to talk to if you need a favor from the leader
members: the "everyone else" in the clan. some are blindly loyal to their clan leader while others claim they're not followers, but in reality they're lost without the clan. they're usually at the beck and call of the leader
new recruits: the newest initiates within the tribe. they're like the little brothers/little sisters within the tribe. because they're new, they're usually exempt from most of the tribe's happenings. after a month or so, they're elevated to "member" status and thus lose some of the privileges they had as the new guys.
weakest links: the lowest part of the clan, they don't have a say in the tribe and are most often the pack mules/errand boys. they're desperate for someone who'll listen to them, so if you wanna become a member of a clique, talk to one of these guys and then work your way up.

If you wanna be popular in high school, then here's what you do:
-Find the weakest link
-Befriend him/her
-Start sitting with him/her at the popular clique's table at lunch (You made it to *new recruit*
-Gradually they will stop being bothered by your presence at the lunch table and will consider you as one of their own. (Congratulations, you made it to *member* status)

Get the high schoolmug. 1. Prepare to watch helplessly as all your hopes and dreams crash and burn.
2. Any one who tells you high school wasn't "that bad" or is "better than the real world", is a lying douche bag. But do not hold this against them, because they are obviously high school graduates. And after your four years of hell are up, you will automatically be transformed into, a lying douche bag just like the rest of the adult population.

Jean: Wow Liz seems to be taking her 50th birthday really hard.
Dorris: Yeah I know, she must feel like she did back in high school, like all of her hopes and dreams have crashed and burned right before her very eyes and it's too late to save them.
Jean: Oh Dorris, don't be so grim! High school was great!
Dorris *Thinks to self* Thank god i dropped out of that dump before it was too late.
