1. you are 13 years when you start Junior High in Norway, first year in JH is called 8th grade, you are around 14 when you enter the 9th grade, and 15 when you're in 10th grade.
you only go to JH for 3 years (8th, 9th and 10th grade), then you can choose if you wanna go High School, there is many choices when it comes to what kinda schools and lines/classes you want to go to, you can for example go to a design line, or a music line, or an sports line, that is basically normal school only with subjects within f.ex. music or sports.
in first year of HS you are 16 years old, 17 in second year, and 18/19 in your last year. High School as well as Junior High is only 3 years. Together you go 13 years in school (7 in elementary school). These 13 school years you get for free, you have to pay to get further education in other schools...

3. We have History in 1st year at HS (and probably at JH too, but can't remember much from then) we study suff like ancient Norway and old Egypt history, and basically history...
