Japanese students and video games

Well... There are a lot of kids who don't attend Jukus and there are a lot of kids/adults that they call NEETs, who don't go to school or work. Remember, High School isn't necessary in Japan. It's required that you pay a tuition to attend High School. However, many kids still attend it anyway. The kids who do go to schools and Juku find other times to play. My friend, tomo, moved back to Japan after living in America for some time. He fell into the American laziness and when he got back to Japan, he did nothing but play MapleStory with us from 5am his time until about 9pm his time. However, he had to quit for a few months because he had to study a mass amount of material so he could graduate middle school and apply for his high school preliminary exams (yeah, you have to pass a certain bar in Japan to be able to go to high school. I wish it were like that here in America...). He was gone from about October and just came back to Maple on Monday morning in Japan. Every day he gets to play Maple for only one to two hours and then studies for the rest of the time. However, right now he only has to catch up on his kokugo, so he doesn't have to do much. Lol

Yeah... They find ways to get around their studies.
