-How much Do I need for living in Tokyo and not pocket money for around 2 years(I will be taking an apartment)
-How can I get to japan and study there,Which exchange program?I live in Bahrain.
-Is Japanese people or schools nice to foreigners?
-How hard is Japanese schools going to be?

Most people don't know any kanji. But learning how to speak a bit will be very helpful.

A minor cannot rent an apartment on their own. Talk to your sponsor school, and they should have a homestay, dormitory, or other living arrangements for exchange students.
-How can I get to japan and study there,Which exchange program?I live in Bahrain.
That's kind of your job to figure out. Start searching.
-Is Japanese people or schools nice to foreigners?
Depends on the individual, but I never had a problem. Are people nice to foreigners in Bahrain?
-How hard is Japanese schools going to be?
Japanese immersion will be near impossible if you know no Japanese. Good to start now.
-If I can work hard for it,Should I follow my dream?I won't be having much free time for the next 1 and a half years.
I would probably try and get to Japan after high school, maybe a college exchange or as a job. It is not realistic to think you will be able to graduate from a Japanese high school.
