So what do I do if my bus ride is boring?
Once school is let out everyday, I walk out the front door and hop onto my bus where I sit in my usual front-of-the-bus seat everyday and listen to music while everybody else is up out of their seats and yelling and cussing, while I'm always silent for an hour and a half. How do I survive another half year of this? I'm a middle schooler, and the highschoolers also get on the same buses as us, and so we usually are loud (not me) and ... yeah. Should I tell my parents to pick me up after school? Same in the mornings? BTW, I don't really like anybody on the bus even if I know them, but it's just I don't know, wierd.

I hated school bus rides but more for the bullying than anything else that takes place and isn't always seen by driver. Prime place for it unfortunately.
Listening to music is just one of your options. If you have a smart phone (and what kid doesn't?) you can download a lot of apps that could really help your memory and mental sharpness.
You can sign up for Words With Friends through your Facebook account. This game is the one Alec Baldwin nearly got kicked off a plane for refusal to turn off it's addictive. You can also download it as an app.
Essentially it's scrabble and you can play against other friends on the bus with the same application or random opponents from around the world and really improve your memory, reflexes, spelling etc. and have it be fun.
I also like Fruit Ninja. I'm not sure if you can get it on your phone as I play on a tablet. It's all about speed and reflex trying to slice fruit tossed at you with a sword and not strike a bomb that keeps randomly popping up.
Depending upon whether or not you have Internet on your phone you could read newspapers, magazines, or whatever sites you wanted.
Books on CD that you can load into your IPOD are also great as you can get any author you like, any subject and have it read for you. You can use it for fun or to study history or other topics you find interesting.
It may not be suitable for mom & dad to pick you up because the school is 90 minutes away. Due to work and commitments as well as distance you probably have to take the bus.
However, if you feel strongly that this particular bus is bad for you, are being bullied or just can't take what's happening on board there is a remote chance you can change bus numbers and get a new bunch of kids and driver.
It would probably only come about for you if you mentioned you wanted in with people your age and that the high school kids bother you.
See also if there is an option where you could take a route with about 6 other kids in a minivan setting as schools do have that. And no they aren't disabled kids nor those with issues. That's a stereotype.
The thing may come down to you having to try and focus for 90 minutes on your music and activity and zone out to distractions and try to make it through by tolerating some of the behavior (not bullying) just to get home but yes it's not easy.
Talk to your parents and explain how uncomfortable you are because of the high school kids, the noise, their behavior and foul mouths and that it's anything but peaceful for 90 minutes and see if they can sway an administrator to keep you on a school bus but a different bus and driver or minivan as you don't feel secure physically or otherwise on the bus.
