A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association states that 45% of teens suffer from stress caused by school pressures(American Psychological Association, Feb. 11, 2014). These pressures could include anything from getting good grades to becoming the best player on the field. Teens often stress about their workload assigned by the teachers, their school activities, and their jobs; wondering how they will have time for any other social outlet or more importantly, sleep. With nine to ten hours recommended for sleep and an eight hour school day, this leaves seven to eight hours for teens to participate in school’s clubs or sports,  work, eat dinner, do their homework, shower, spend time with their family, and to socialize with their peers. If teens continue to become stressed, they will give up and not apply themselves to their full potential, which could cause poor grades and a dislike of the school environment.
