STRESS

10th grade isn't the most fun year, it's all about grades, work, and just pure stress. We have enough with pressure, anxiety, and finding ourselves. We're 15/16 now and it's hard because it's in these years we're trying to find out who we want to be and such, we're constantly told to "act mature and be more adult-like" yet we're treated as if we're still kids.

School is where you have to put on a smile and just do as told because if you complain you get that "we went through the same thing, you can handle it too" now see, that’s not entirely true, the school system has changed a lot. Even though we have the same books as you don’t mean we learn the same way. we got a lot of homework this week and even though we asked for more homework we didn’t mean give us all at once, and in addition to the after-school driving course, we don’t have much time.
Don’t even get me started with the stress that builds up, I hate stressing because it literally makes me ill. I get a headache and my stomach twists, it's not healthy being stressed but the school doesn’t care, because what's a little headache when you can't even change your C's to B's!

I get it, we need good grades to get into good schools and stuff, but stressing the life out of us is not okay.
