I've also heard the theory that High School is a person's first taste of semi-autonomy and is remembered fondly because high schoolers are yet to feel burdens like work and student loans (in theory).
But I still don't get why high school is much more of a thing over there than in other parts of the West.
I read this first as less 15 to 19 year olds being born and I was like wow, is it otherwise common in America for women to give birth to teens?
Honestly the American cultural fascination with high school would make much more sense if people were born as teens over there.

Born yesterday, graduate tomorrow
Not as much anymore, but even in the 80s and 90s, about 15% of babies in America were born to teen mothers.
Yeah but did they give birth to teens?
