The teens are busy as well. Teens have to face a lot more stress and pressures than teens did 20 or 30 years ago. I believe that people expect more from us every day. It's funny how they say that you should enjoy being young and yet most of us are stuck in our rooms studying for a test or doing homework. School is a health hazard to teens.
Stress causes headaches, insomnia, migraines, fatigue, and so on.
Some students don't eat lunch so they have longer to study for tests. In my school there is a lot of stress in the atmosphere every day. From the stress of getting to class on time to finishing all your homework. The only problem with offering so many different choices is that most teens don't have time for extracurricular activities. The primary reasons teens don't have time for extra-curricular activities are simple.
