Overscheduled students
Students today are expected to have good grades, be apart of clubs and sports, volunteer, and still work. The expectations out of all of these things are crazy and makes students stress out. I actually read something one day that said that students today have the same stress levels as a mental patient in a psych ward. That to me is crazy and someone should do something about it. Everyone wants to be accepted and the best they can be that is the reason why we do all of these things. I keep my grades as high as they can be, I stay busy with organizations and clubs, and I still have to work to pay to do these things. Students my age are stuck at minimum wage jobs and always get taken advantage of by the older workers. Since we are the lowest on the "totem pole" we get stuck doing the crappy jobs within the job that suck and we still get paid the same amount. On top of that customers that come in treat us like we are beneath them which is wrong but to keep our job we have to put up with it. Then once I got my college bill and realized after working for a whole year saving up my money I could not even pay for a semester of college. Everyone thinks that students just have fun and party while students are actually working hard and trying to make it in the world

I agree with this statement one hundred percent. On my behalf I didn't have to pay for my college bill. My mother covered it for me due to me receiving a good amount of money for my Financial aid. So to me having to work a job to pay for my college big was non existent. I did however work a job to pay my own bills for my car insurance, gas and along with my cell phone bill. I worked a number of jobs throughout high school so I have that same experience working a job and having to do well in school as well.
