High school is a failed experiment in preparing young people for the adult world. All high schools in the country were built around 1960 and were designed to hold about half as many students as they currently do. Nothing seems to work quite right in a high school building. The heaters only work during the summer and the air conditioning only works in the winter. The asbestos insulation has all fagged out and the building becomes an oven or a meat locker, depending on the time of year. The plumbing is usually a disaster in high school, with drinking fountains never working but toilets that never stop running.
High schools are usually poorly run by a team of out of touch assholes, also known as Principals, counselor, teachers, and ex-Marine drill sergeants (gym teachers). These people seem hell bent on destroying all hope for students through tedious testing, poorly planned projects, educational videos made during the Truman Administration, and text books that mention the Soviet Union on every page.
High school is also the place where the stress of growing up and the stress of fitting in join forces to destroy even the strongest among us. Most of High school is not spent learning but involves trying to find friends who aren't complete douche bags, trying hook up with people of the opposite sex unsuccessfully, combing your hair, buying cloths in the effort that someone will notice you, working out so you will not get your ass kicked everyday, trying desperately to get rid of the zits that have taken over your face, driving a car that a homeless person wouldn't piss in or riding on an over crowed bus while choking on diesel fumes, while people you don't know make fun of you worse then your friends do, and on top of all of that, you must act like nothing is wrong in your life.

High school is a place where everyone acts like their lives are great but are really dead inside.

Get the learned the clarinet at school mug.A government institution designed to torment the minds of innocent children who could have had a bright future, if it wasn't for school.
This is what the average student such as myself goes through on a typical school day:
7:00 AM: As I arrive at the school, first period (Science) has begun. I take a seat at my desk and proceed to take orders by the "teacher", about five minutes in, his directions for the assignment are so boring, that I just put my head in my arms and go back to sleep. I am awakened by an idiot shaking my desk "for the fun of it". I sigh, and as I take out the tenth paper relating to my assignment, a student "accidentally" trips over my bag, and falls down, which ends up giving me detention for "tripping a student". This is such bullshit that I tell myself that I am not, under any circumstances, going to this detention. As I finish writing 10 papers about how the mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell, my whole arm is badly aching and turning red, I turn this into the teacher, who just shoves it back into my arms, for not writing the assignment in cursive. He tells me that he will give me another detention for not "doing the assignment". The massive amount of anger inside of me is barley being controlled at this point. Thankfully, the best part of class comes, the end of the period where people are packing up.
After lunch, the school day ends. When I get home, I go straight to sleep to make up all of the lost sleep in the morning.
