I think that high school is about getting an education. This includes both the education that you get in the classroom and the one you get outside from the social aspect. I don't think marks are all that important unless you want to go to college, in which case their a means to an end. But the whole thing is about learning. Ideally, it should set you up with a hunger for knowledge and a love of learning for the rest of your life. That doesn't happen to many people anymore though, I fear.
A note about the whole learning to make friends etc. thing though. High school teaches you to make friends while you're in school. I had no problem making friends in high school. No problems at all making friends in college (even easier, because you're sort of separated by interest anyway!) But friends in the real world? I have no freaking clue how I'm supposed to find those. People I work with? My boyfriend's friends' wives? Random person at the grocery store? Maintaining my relationships from school is no problem because they're all advanced enough that we're totally comfortable around each other. But I might meet someone fun in the frozen foods section of Miracle Mart, but never see them again. It's not like we have homeroom together or something. I thought I was stressed in high school. Then I looked back at it and laughed when I got to college and was taking 21+ hours per semester (cause I'm just crazy like that?). It wasn't until after I graduated that I started having total stress-related panic attacks on a regular basis when I couldn't find a job, and then again when the job I finally found went south. And what you want to do with your life... hah. Of my friends in high school... one of them stuck with their original plan. A lot of my college friends stayed pretty close, but I went into a very specialized program. A lot of them left that program to do other things as well though, deciding that the equine thing just wasn't working for them career wise, and that ponies are better hobbies than jobs.
I graduated Summa c** Laude over a year ago from college, and I'm STILL working out what I want to actually do with my life.
