The fake play button on the wall is probably one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen lol

“I thought High School Musical was a real thing.”
Me, an American: Me too. Me too.

High school in America is just a battle royal to see who has the most tolerance and mental strength basically. I couldn't imagine being sad to graduate but if you are, school must be pretty good

[meaniebeannie]

When I was in high school I was bullied a lot and was even suicidal at one point. The school administration didn't care much about these things and I just felt very alone. Now that I am out of high school I feel that I have more freedom to be myself and make genuine connections with people who really care about me as a person. In America high school can be such a rough time in someone's life.

You could get a culture shock just by moving to another state in the U.S.

I like how respectful this guy was while talking about america, he was super polite and funny

[TheOpinionatedNobody]

“Is it cheap in America or what” *laughs in crippling debt*

I was a waitress for many years. It's not rude to raise your hand, it's rude to snap your fingers. I loved when people raised their hand when they needed something. It made my job easier lol.

[vindictivetiger]

It's not rude to raise your hand to get the wait staff's attention. Screaming across the restaurant for your waiter/waitress is rude.

“The USPS is not consistent.” Yes, we Americans have noticed that too.

[novanppp]

In high school here in america, we lack structure and respect for one another so it is hectic beyond belief. It leads to many issues not being resolved such as bullying or many teachers not really caring about students. So many things as a result suffer. It is overall, a terrible experience.

[nicholasforrester]

No, I was a waiter, I was never offended if someone raised their hand, in fact I think it's polite. Thank you, 😊

[vaporeon]

How I see it
American's: Oh so Japanese highschools must be like anime

Japanese: Oh so american highschools must be like High school musical

Honestly things are so diffrent yet so alike in the same way

[zoro]

Getting whitening strips as a gift would honestly be kind of insulting in America 😅

“Shoving vegetables into a turkey’s butt and roasting it” 💀 this sent me over the edge.

[TeacherinTraining]

So, I can't speak to the experiences of many High Schoolers in the US, but my experience was absolutely terrible.

I was not part of any clique; I was a nerd in the late 90s, so I was treated like a disease. If I talked to anyone new, people looked at me with disgust. I was only able to talk to people I knew in Junior High, and even some of them abandoned me.

I don't want to talk about the things that happened physically, because *that* subject is never comfortable. Let's just say that I was relentlessly bullied, and leave it at that.

[falloutlover]

"Do American's not like high school?"

*Raucous oh wait you're serious

[jesshavok]

"You guys eat cookie dough!" ...I lost it, that was too funny, and honestly so true.

[grayh]

The way you describe high school seems to be like we treat college/university.

Really fun video. I think it was interesting about the "rude to signal a waiter with a raised hand". I wonder if that varies by region in the U.S.? Having spent most of my life in the southeast US (Tennessee, Virginia), I've been taught/found it's fine to signal with a *partially* raised hand and a smile/nod if you catch an eye - you don't wave a hand over your head like a third grader who knows the answer to a question about dinosaurs in class.

What I would consider rude is *snapping* your fingers to get the wait staff's attention. I would imagine that's frowned on in most of the U.S. I wonder if that's something considered rude in other countries?
