Liberty for the High School Student

Competition is becoming a key part of advanced take aim academics. It seems as if everyday it be puzzles harder to be accepted into the college of your dreams. This is causing high accentuate levels for teenagers. what with worrying about looking good, keeping friends, doing well in take aim, and the growing pressure to send off your life by the time youre 16, its amazing that we all gather innt gone crazy. Due to high stress creatord by homework, and lack of short sleep, high school students should receive lighter loads from schools. The students of today are stressed, non from the fictive bullying or peer pressure, but from homework and tests.Most of the stress is from academics as opposed to the characteristic assumption of bullying or social issues. States an article from Mind Shift. Parents assume that things like that are the cause of the stress, but the real problem is homework. Then there is the case of Nora. A normal high school student, pressured with doing acc urately in school. When she received her grade card and saw that she did not have a perfect 4. 0, she lost it. Her mother found her in tears, and realized that it was time to Logan 2 intervene. Nora had been increasingly irrit fitted and tired, and she in like manner suffered from headaches. She is not the only one.Students everywhere, including myself and friends of mine, are tired, frustrated and sick. While stress can be healthy for our body, as well as much can severely harm us. According to an article on the website WebMd, reviewed by Doctor Joseph Goldberg, oversize amounts of stress cause headaches, higher blood pressure, heart and skin issues and conditions, and depression- the list goes on. These symptoms are not notwithstanding found in adults, they are also found in teenagers. High stress levels early on in life will only lead to physical and mental problems in the future. The mental aver of teenagers justifies that our load is too heavy.It is not an unknown fact tha t students these days do not have a lot of free time. We wake up at six, go to school, spend all day working, have extra curriculars after school, and all in all, most students do not end up reverting home until around seven oclock at night. We are then expected to financial aid with dinner, help clean up dinner, and take care of other chores in the first place we spend two to lead hours working on homework assigned during the day. At this rate, the typical high school student is not acquiring to bed until close to 11 oclock. Thus, forcing them to cope with six hours of sleep per night utmost from what is needed.Sleep is extremely important for teenagers. It affects our growth, our mental health, and our safety behind the wheel- it is food for our brain. The National Sleep Foundation suggests that teenagers sleep for about 9 ? hours per night saying that 8 ? works for some. But in all reality, this is far from the amount of sleep teenagers are actually getting. The NSF found Loga n 3 that only %15 of teenagers are getting that 8 ? hours. So, how does this lack of sleep affect our behavior, and success in school? It is shown that lack of sleep causes self-assertive behaviors and a reduced immune system.Therefore, we are sick to a greater extent often causing us to sink school. It is also shown that it becomes harder to focus, and mind. therefore, we do not learn. How do teachers expect us to complete tasking assignments if we are unable to focus, learn, and listen? Our lack of sleep, and increasingly reduced amounts of free time indicates the need for less time-consuming work. Parents and teachers, somehow, have come to believe that all of this is shaping us for the real world. Please explain to me how raising our stress levels and, ultimately, harming our physical and mental health is helping us?Today, we are expected to be able to misrepresent an almost adult life by the time we are sixteen, but we need to spend more time learning and exploring all of o ur options. If it has become the norm to change majors three time before you graduate college, then something is severely wrong with current society. Teenagers who are over loaded with after school work are becoming less and less mentally and physically stable. High schools can coming a impudent style of teaching, and issue curriculums that include less after school work. Issuing new types of curriculums including less after school work would most effectively help resolve the problems.I highly interrogation that the cost of this solution would be very high at all. I believe that states could afford this. The widely distributed public will find the solution acceptable. When parents and teachers see how bad the situation is becoming, they will be able to convince policy makers to initiate Logan 4 the change. The parents of the students are the ones who really need to change. They are responsible for realizing the inclemency of the situation. As the writer of this piece I hope to show the public that times are changing and not necessarily for the better. It is my responsibility to show this.
