Teen Relationships

"High School Sweathears" a phrase heard all too often. Come on people, we don't go to high school to find our soul-mates! on the other hand, many teens do end up finding that special person who makes their life complete. But just because it's complete doesn't mean it's always easy. Relationships can prove cause a tremendous amount of stress- especially to girls who do just about anything they can to try to please their "boo".

Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is an inevitable aspect of being a teen. Sooner or later every teen must deal with the effects of alcohol or drugs. Some teens choose to travel down that road- which may lead them to a lot of trying and difficult times. Others, on the other hand, may have to deal with a friend who has experimented with drugs or alcohol. Throughout high school a lot of friendships are ended- a great number of those come from peer pressure. on top of everything else in their lives, some students find the most trouble in saying no to a friend who wants them to do something they just arent comfortable with. Peer pressure has the potential to break friendships or worse- cause people to give in to something they know is morally wrong. Peer pressure truly is a majorly overlooked stress factor within a teens life

Jobs

A great number of teens feel the need to pick up a part-time job after school. Whether they use the money they make to help save up for college or spend on the weekends, it makes no difference. Teenagers undergo a lot of stress from school, but when you add a part-time job to the mix, life can get a little hectic. Being a teenager is a lot of hard work- especially when trying to balance school, work, and a social life all at the same time. Many teachers or parents dont take into consideration the tremendous amount of time kids spend at work only to get home late and work on their homework.
Though there are many downsides to picking up jobs in high school, there are also a lot of benefits. Kids with part-time jobs make new friends, gain responsibility, and of course- make money.

School

People always say "High School is the best four years of your life!". And for most, it is. But how about for those of us who seem to have too much on our plate? Most parents are oblivious to their teenagers schedule- therefore they fail to recognize why kids dont love school- or they can't fully comprehend why their scholar doesnt make straight A's on their report card. The truth of the matter is high school is tough!
First there's the horrible hours. Waking up at 6 am five days a week for four years in a row- sounds awesome doesnt it? uhh... no. But it doesnt end there- because school starts at 7:30 but doesnt end until 3. Yay, you just got to spend 7.5 hours copying notes and taking tests. The average kid spends about 1,350 hours a year in school! thats 5,400 hours once you're done!
And then there's the homework! Some teachers just arent sure when enough is enough! High school students have enough problems, but homework often times overwhelms teens. We spend enough time in the class room, give us some time to relax!
