Yes. There is more pressure every year to succeed. The No Child Left Behind Act is playing havoc with testing and passing tests before graduation. DO statistics tell us that teenagers are stressing more every year?
You can have my opinion since I dont' know the statistics, I am 58, taught school for many years, remember my childhood, the answer is yes yes yes, save yourself. Life is predatory these days, it didn't use to be like that, too much lying and trying to take advantage of you at every point. Try to be as stress free as you can. I lost my health to stress and now that I am retired it is NOT fun,. Stress ruined meDO statistics tell us that teenagers are stressing more every year?
Agreed, the No Child Left Behind program is an exercise in practiced stupidity.
The students that could go ahead aren't allowed and the ones that can't get ahead (because of bad teaching or stubbornness) are pushed forward. That's a lot to stress about if you aren't completely apathetic (and who is?).
yes aloing with adults. just go look in some journals and it shows consistent rises in stress and mental problems for adults and children
