So in this post I'm going to explain some of the few differences between us and the rest of the world.
1 Highschool in Egypt is called secondary school and it's only three years.
2 The third year of secondary school is the most stressful so we study so hard during this year to get a high score to enter college.
3 The high scores are usually required to enter the faculty of engineering/ medicine/ pharmacy/ dentistry, which are the colleges that every parent wish their kid could enter which explains the stressful part.
4 Colleges are for free for anyone, and after the results come out, there is a sort of a score limit for each college, so if your results aren't enough, you either enter a private college which you pay money for or you see what can your score get you in for free.
5 There is no prom, but there is a graduation party.
6 There isn't any parties, but we go out alot and we usually have birthday parties.
7 Some teens do drugs and get drunk but they are discreet about it.
8 We date but nothing physical happens and it's also discreet as well, parents usually don't know.
9 We are up to date with technology, we don't live in the stone age like some people think.
10 A large number is fluent in English and French like myself.
11 Our weekend is on friday and saturday, but I go to a christian catholic school so my weekend is on sunday and friday.
12 We have events, like colour festivals and entertainment days instead of parties.
