I just graduated from Punahou just over a month ago, and honestly, I really did like it. The teachers are dedicated to their work and letting the students grow, not just focus on academics. I can see why some people have problems with Punahou, though the students aren't all like what we are sometimes made out to be. I have been to other schools before, and honestly, Punahou is where I felt most at home and have the fondest memories. Not only are there a wide variety of choices when it comes to study, but there is a wide variety of activities, environments, and people in general. Of course, the best advice I have to offer is don't stint yourself by being safe, try something new, but also have a few people (adults and especially of your own age) there to pull you out of trouble if you find yourself in it. Punahou is, admittedly, not for everyone, but do not just cross it off your list just because of what you hear.
