    Honestly the American cultural fascination with high school would make much more sense if people were born as teens over there.

        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.
