School's a bit different here, but what is technically "high school" here, which we attend from age 12 to 16-18 (depending on level), was stupid. I totally hated it. Everyone was in their "macho" stage which I completely skipped. I didn't really like anyone there, besides a friend I knew since kindergarten. A lot of classes were a waste and building was a dump.
I just did my thing though. Never got suspended or was even late (well, except the very first day lol) and I didn't care who I sat next to, they were unlikely to become my friend anyway. Only luck was that here we don't have that American popularity-contest/jock vibe. When we graduated I never said goodbye to anyone, just went and never looked back.
College and University were a godsend.
