The Stress of Returning From High School

By the eighth grade many youths are sent away from their homes in the village to boarding high schools for American natives. Most go to Mount Edgecombe, Miesitka, Alaska, others to Chimawah in Oregon. Many look forward to this experience as a chance to get out of their small, boring in quotes village into the hub of excited western living. In most cases they return home disillusioned about their seeming inability to fit into life outside.
