Phelps One of the major problems facing teens of the twenty-first century is academic pressures. Academic pressure is any kind of pressure put on a person whether it s by parents, friends, or oneself to do well academically.
Most kids are naturally worried about getting good grades.
In high school, the big concern is getting into a good college. We have found that some parents have become obsessed with their child s schoolwork. Though the child wants to do well in school, their parents become so caught up in good grades that they no longer have fun. Also, when parents take pitty on their child s bad grades, sometimes they end up doing all of the work. Therefore, the kid s grades will go up, but he or she will not be learning anything.
