I live in Brooklyn new york and to be honest i don't like it too much here, i already got held back in h.s twice, imo its just too boring, the teachers are great and they do there best to help you learn , its just i have no intrest in the subjects what so ever, well besides PA besides that i probably won't be using anything in school in rl, looking at school disgusts me, and i think im losing my hair because of it, and i'm only 18, i am more held back in school and don't even have many friends, but when im outside school i feel like i have a lot more energy and all my stress is gone, so then my sister asked me if i wanted to go to school in japan, what are they like, I'm Chinese and my Japanese is very bad, i only know a few from the movies and anime i watch.

japanese schooling is very strict and you will probably find it harder than american schooling.. my school just got back from an exchange trip and they said the days go from 8 in the morning till 6 at night with only one break for lunch.. so be prepared..

Japanese schools are very strict and you must wear a complete uniform with everything just so or you will get demerits. If you are not doing well in a U.S. school and don't speak Japanese perfectly, it would be a disaster to transfer to Japan. It looks like you are not applying yourself to your education and going abroad will only make your life more stressful! Have you had counseling? You need help in either study skills or perhaps you have an emotional problem? Please go see your school's counselor and set your life on a better course.

Why don't you go back to your mother country, P.R. of China?I bet you will feel more happy in there than Japan.

Hello, 21st century Holden Caulfield. You might wanna consider that many Japanese students are also having the similar problem that you are having. There are plenty of students who are held back by the atomopsphere of school and get estranged from going there. They stay in home hours and hours watching TV, plaing video games, using computers. In Japanese, they are called futokoji. A broader term for people reluctant to be engaged in social acitivity is called hikikomori. So, you would probably have the same problem that is bugging you righ now also in Japan.
