Are high schools in USA like they are in the movies? It doesn't look like a fun place to spend your teen years, and I've seen many people telling mostly bad stuff about them.

And the main reason I'm asking is because I'm in my final year of high school and I realised it's been the best time of my life and I'm really really sorry all of it will be gone in two months. Plus, it's nothing similar to what I saw on TV.
