My life in Japan was great, but I know people who had horrible experiences. In general this was due to the individual's expectations and flexibility. I loved the personality of the high school I worked at, despite the fact the students weren't that motivated. I stayed three years, for as long as my contract allowed. The young woman who replaced me hated the school, and I don't think she finished a single year.

There are just as many bullies and jerks in Japan, if that's what you are wondering.

Also I want to be a computer programmer, and I heard technology was big over there. Is it easy to get a job when you are young? Also, is it easy to move there, because I know nothing about moving country to country, also do you need a passport or whatever (don't mind my stupidity...)? Thank you very much.

There are nice people in Japan, but I don't know if that means Japan is "nice".
You need a passport, a college degree, a job and a work visa, and then you will be set.
