I read an article about high school kids at school. I found it interesting when I read about a survey in the article that asked high school kids how they feel during the day, and almost all of them respond with, “tired, stressed, or bored.” These feelings can affect your decisions and attention span. I thought that it was also interesting how when a researcher did a toll around the US and asked how you feel at school, the answer options were happy and not happy. 22,000 teenagers responded with not happy.
I think that it is important to live a healthy life and to not be stressed. I always come across stressed people during the day, and every time if my friends look sad and I ask them what’s wrong, it’s almost always that they’re tired or stressed. One of the many things that I like about Episcopal is that there are many fun clubs that you participate in that takes your mind off of schoolwork for 25 minutes. I like this for me because I find that I am getting stressed more often, and clubs are my way during the day to just forget about work that needs to be done. I chose this article because I have recently found myself not always being the happiest person at school, and I used to always be happy in middle school. I wanted to find out more about this and it lead me to the conclusion that it is simply just the workload.
I agree that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very surprised that 22,000 teenagers are not happy at school.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so true. 22,000 is a lot of unhappy teenagers. I think Episcopal tries to create a less stressful environment, but it doesn't always work.
