I reckon, but most of the time it's not done well or believably.
I think this ties back into the core rule of writing as found in the Anne books-- writing about "rich people" and having it be totally phony. :/
Story takes place in Bern, so why the HELL are Hector and Eliwood there attending high school?
HAH.
I can't relate or understand another way without extensive thought and constantly reminding myself about it.
My high-school experience did not involve hanging with friends much at all. It was a magnet school, and we all lived far away from one another, and all went our separate ways after class. None of us got cars at sixteen. We had to work around schedules to arrange a lunch date or a mall date. None of us dated. We didn't do any underage drinking or partying. Some times we went to museums for fun.
So, basically, the typical concept of "high school" life is completely foreign to me. It's nearly as fantastic as princes and dragons, and about as believable.
Then again, I feel the same way about most portrayals of college life.
