Too Much Pressure

Teenagers are constantly surrounded by pressure- pressure from parents, pressure from peers, pressure from teachers. This pressure can be either positive or negative, depending on the teen. A special few use the pressure as motivation and work even harder. However, most teens react poorly to this pressure, and start thinking "I have to study for 37 straight hours if I want to pass this test" instead of "I just have to study until I feel like I understand the material." One of the keys to being successful in high school is ignoring the pressure and just doing the best you can, something a lot of teens forget about.
