Perception of one's high school days is very different for Americans and Indians.
From what I learnt talking to friends in the US (and of course from their movies), high school for American kids isn't usually full of fond memories. They remember the awkwardness of adolescent years, the group culture, being bullied etc.
From personal experience, from the many posts on facebook and again from talking to friends, most Indians remember their school days quite fondly and given a chance would love to go back to those days.
Why this difference?
