What to Do If Your Teen Hates School
For multiple reasons, the academic experience of this generation of teens has become increasingly stressful.
Courses are more difficult and time-consuming, competition is greater, and the ever-present fear of not getting into college haunts many kids beginning in middle school. They frequently complain about not having enough time to enjoy extracurricular activities and also get their work done. In addition, social media, video games and other media are such an intense draw for kids that they struggle to prioritize non-screen aspects of life. They often use technology as an escape from academic pressure, creating a vicious cycle of not getting work done, which then results in even more stress as they fall behind.
