Going through the years of high school you start to grow up and mature into an adult. This for many teenagers, is when they want to start becoming financially dependent on themselves. But, with many high schoolers having to deal with challenging academic courses and athletics; those who juggle a part-time job overall have more stress. Stress is the complete feeling someone gets when they have too much to do and not enough time. Being at school seven hours a day takes up about half of your time if you are not counting sleep, which leaves you only seven hours to do all of your extra-curricular activities. When a group of teenagers who have a part-time job have so much to balance, they start to panic and not know what to do. Causing them to have high stress levels which can only be an effect of taking on extra responsibilities, a part-time job. After interviewing multiple high school teenagers who work on average 15-25 hours per week, they all felt that working a part-time job adds on so much more additional stress. One student in particular, Logan Beardslee, pointed out that, “The amount of stress put on me has grown immensely from when I did not have a job to now working 20 hours a weeks.” Many students like Logan compared how their stress was before they had a part-time job to now, explaining that hands down working has substantially added additional stress to their already stressful lives. Maybe it’s because its time consuming, or possibly the time usually being used to
Next, teenagers are constantly running here and there, trying to keep up with their schedules. From school, church activities, work, sports, friends, family, and any other sort of time consuming plans, they’re exhausted. A study done in 2014 showed that over 22% of high school students work a part-time job. They’ve also seen that working more than 15-20 hours per week, can affect their academic performance. Plus teenagers

Teenagers have enough stress as it is right? Adolescence is an awkward time of transition from childhood to adulthood which can be more than scary for most. Between spending time with family, making friends, doing homework, participating in sports or other recreational activities, and growing up in general, who has time to get a job? Although it can add to the stress of teenage life, getting a job has more pros than cons. My experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Morgantown Care and Rehabilitation Center has been a learning experience about responsibility, patience, and compassion.
In high school, students are at the age where their priorities are all about them and their whole world involves them, themselves and maybe friends. To say the least, their priorities are not well established or correct if they have any. When the student gets a part-time job, like at a fast food restaurant it helps put their priorities straight. The students start to realize in order to make the money they need to pay for what they want, they need to make time adjustment and make real priorities. Students will learn that in order to have this job they will need to work during the weekends since school during the weekday. Working they will

Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get
Thinking about getting a job in high school? Think again. According to studies done by WebMD Health News, students who work more than 20 hours a week had a lower expectation of academic attainment and were less engaged at school. They also had higher levels of substance abuse and deviant behavior "Working Long Hours May Hurt High school Students." High school is hard enough on its own without having a job as well. Imagine the toll this pressure is taking on these students' lives? Working in high school or having a job isn't beneficial because students are more likely to have low academic standards, engage in drugs, and have psychosocial well-being issues.
Furthermore, having a part-time job as a teenager encourages overspending. Because most teenagers still live with their parents, they have no bills to pay. This means that the money they are earning are their own money. Due to our society’s obsession with new things, these teenagers are driven to spend their money on useless things that will not help with their future. According to a recent online poll, 75% of teenagers that have part-time jobs spend their money on leisure items. (Logos) Instead of saving their money for college, these teenagers spend it on videogames, further hindering their academic
Stress is an ongoing dilemma that occurs in each and everyone’s life. It is a factor that is undoubtedly a part of daily living. Due to the trivial problems that occur in people’s daily lives massive amounts of stress can arise. People perceive and manage stress in many different ways. The causes and effects of stress are numerous and one’s ability to manage stress is vital in maintaining healthy living.
Psychological stress is a result of many factors and should be dealt with very carefully. Stress can be defined as “An excess of demand made upon the adaptive capabilities of the mind and body”.(Joseph 1). Another way of putting it, is that there are some things that put certain demands on us. The effects of stress should not be limited to unpleasant emotional states. Many studies have concluded that the effects on our physical health from stress can be extremely detrimental. These adverse physical effects include heart disease and formations of cancer. There are also some societal issues that psychological stress can hamper.
Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing surroundings. It has physical and emotional effects on us and can make good or bad feelings. As a good influence, stress can help motivate us to do something, or help us through the day. As a bad influence, it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression (overall, make you feel really crappy), which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomachs, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes. With the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, a job promotion (or demotion), or a new relationship, we experience stress as we change our lives to cater to
At one time or another, most people experience stress. The term stress has been used to describe a variety of negative feelings and reactions that accompany threatening or challenging situations. However, not all stress reactions are negative. A certain amount of stress is actually necessary for survival. For example, birth is one of the most stressful experiences of life. The high level of hormones released during birth, which are also involved in the stress response, are believed to prepare the newborn infant for adaptation to the challenges of life outside the womb. These biological responses to stress make the newborn more alert promoting the bonding process and, by extension, the child's physical survival.
Stress is part of our lives. We live with it, deal with it, and above all worry about it. Our way of life, the area in which we live, the economy, and our jobs can cause a great deal of stress. Not everyone deals with the same level of stress and there are several factors that can impact our lives and cause us to have higher or lower stress levels. We can have stress caused by Cataclysmic events which according to Feldman (2009) are events that can affect many people at the same time and are “disasters such as tornado and plane crashes, as well as terrorist attacks”. (p418). Other factors are personal stressors and can be caused by events such as a divorce, death or a loved one or the loss of a job. (Feldman, 2009). The
I know a lot of colleagues from high school that had jobs during their time as high school students. Work and school are two unusual parts of our daily lives in high school and including college. Time management is something that we had to learn if we were to survive college. But only being able to work part-time in high school were not as bad as it seemed like. We only had school five days a week and the other two days we could work part-time at our jobs. Unlike college where you could choose what days to
