Wouldn't it be better to improve your poor English skills before worrying about learning a language as complex and different as Japanese?

Since they are more advance, you really have to catch up alot, and you have to know how to read, and write japanese. Not only that, but you have to get use to the culture too. Asian culture is way more strict than, american culture, and the asian culture is also more conservitive. I don't know if you know this, but over there you have to wear uniforms, and you don't go to your class, you stay in the same room, and the teachers come to you. When you go in the building you take off your shoes, and put them in a locker,and you have to wear slippers. You also have to get use to the lifestyle, and everything too. If you are late, in some school, what you would do is kneel, and they would actually hit you with a stick. So I think it's a very bad idea, so don't do it. I'm an asian-american, but my parents have gone to school there, so yeah..

You'd have to know fluent Japanese and probably handle a lot of paperwork and take a test (higher grades aren't free and you have to test to get into a good school) in order to get there. You'll be better off going to a university in Japan than high school (but you'd still have to learn Japanese).
