This article deals with high school students from Santa Maria and some of their perspectives concerning the schooling process. Santa Maria, as a university city, interferes significantly in the school life of young people. We take as reference for this article the research project “Educação e Juventude: jovens das escolas públicas de Ensino Médio de Santa Maria” [Education and Youth: young people from public secondary schools in Santa Maria], carried out in 2009, whose data are derived from interviews with 370 young high school students, involving schools in urban and rural areas of Santa Maria. The methodology of the research consisted of two stages, a quantitative one, in which data were collected and analyzed, and a qualitative one, which used “dialogue groups” as a method, a technique used in other investigations with teenagers that favors dialogue and juvenile expression. At first the text presents a broad discussion about teenagers and schooling processes; further, some data and analysis relevant for this search. Finally, we focus on and discuss two points: the “enjoying” being at school from the perspective of youth culture and the invisibility of this social segment in the school.
