High stress and high drama Beep! Beep! Beep! Your alarm clock goes off at 5 a.m., and you’re lying there in bed catching a few more minutes of sleep after going to bed near midnight trying to study for that chemistry test you have the next day. We teenagers go through a lot. We take on too much, and we end up feeling burnt out. So by the weekend, all we want to do is sleep and relax. I’m 16 years old and going to high school. High school is hard enough as it is. I stay in school for seven hours then come home and do another two to three hours of homework. I have other things besides school to juggle. For example, I play sports for my church basketball team and softball team. I also need my own personal time to myself or with friends just to relax from a stressful day at school. Other things that I’m going through are relationships and friendships. Just the other week, my friend and I got in a huge argument over something so dumb. And I know it’s dumb, because I can’t even remember what it was about. High school is full of drama. Especially when I’m dating someone; it seems as if everyone else is in the relationship, too. Not a lot of adults give us credit, considering all the stressful situations we get put in and all the drama that goes on at school and with friends. I think I’ve been handling it well, given Lindsay Worden |
