Why is High School So Stressful?
I’m not even in high school and I’m completely stressed out about it!
My daughter is a sophomore this year and every day there seems to be one more quiz or one giant test after another. My daughter is very smart, but she does have to study to do well. On a typical day, that works out okay, she studies and she does well. However, not every day is typical, some days, she just wants to be a teenager and hang out with her friends! Who can blame her?
Today is the PSAT for all sophomores and juniors. I tell her not to stress about it, stay calm and do the best she can do. This is just a practice SAT after all and doesn’t count, colleges won’t see these scores. She is a perfectionist though and wants to score as high as she possibly can. She puts a lot of pressure on herself.
Oh well, it will be a while before we get the scores, and actually, I’m not stressed about her taking the test today, I’m just stressed about her getting to school on time!
