If the likes of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[My So-Called Life]]'' and (especially) ''[[Heathers]]'' have taught us nothing else, it is that [[High School]] is Hell. [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Sometimes literally]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[~~Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|~~Azumanga Daioh]]''

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''

* ''[[Manabi Straight]]'' practically collapses under the nostalgia about the high school days.

* ''[[Manabi Straight!]]'' practically collapses under the nostalgia about the high school days.

* ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]''

* ''[[Sketchbook]]'' has elements of this. Even super-shy and eccentric Sora never gets hassled, unlike what would happen in [[Real Life]].

** Not to mention Kate, who would be a real bully magnet with her western looks and accent.

* ''[[Amanchu]]''

* ''[[~~Maria-sama~~ ga Miteru]]''

* ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru]]''

* ''[[~~K-On! (Manga)|~~K-On!]]''

* ''[[K-On!]]''

* ''[[Kare Kano]]'' - at least, the manga. Despite the overall theme, the actual high school life of the title characters is pretty cake, with any foe made into a trusty ally within a chapter or two. Souichiro and Yukino's biggest worries are often about not being at the top of the exam boards, the ending suggests that nothing really happens outside of high school anyway.

Line 35:

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* ''[[Saved By the Bell]]'' and most of its clones (''Hang Time'', ''California Dreams'', etc.) are the kings of this trope. Extra points for ''Saved by the Bell'' for having the ''principal'' as one of the gang.
