Fairly non existent I do believe. You'll probably commute to Lexington or Jackson.

how is the high school?

Probably not too great in the grand scheme of things, but I'm not certain.

taxes?

cheap

cost of living (electric,heating,ect.)

cheap

is there alot of crime?

Not rural for a a lot of crime.

I would like to have an idea what im getting myself into.

A cheap place out in BFE with not much to do. It's a good place if you're laid back and like fishing, hunting, and maybe smoking meth.

No problem! Like Dave Chapelle, I keep it real.

Honestly, I'm getting really tired of TN weather.

summer's humid?

There are worse places in the US, but it gets pretty brutal here IMO. Camden shouldn't be much different from the rest of west TN.

guess not alot of snow.

No, not much at all. But if a flake falls, expect schools to close and people to rush the supermarkets.

how about cold?

Not too much IMO. I don't even wear a coat down here. The thickest thing I ever wear is a hoodie or light jacket/windbreaker.
