We go to school for 7 and a half hours a day, and some high school students even go to school for a little over 8 hours a day. That’s MORE than some adults that are fully grown, and have a job. Our brains are still developing and growing. Our body’s are still growing and developing. Middle and high school students have 6 to 7 to 8 periods PER DAY. That’s a lot of classes. We have to not only do homework in each class, but we have to study for tests, bring things home, etc. While all this is going on we have extracurricular activities, appointments, etc. Teenegers have too much weight being held on their shoulders. Most teenagers get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep per night! That’s as much as the average American adult gets! This is crazy. We go to school for a immense amount of time per day, to hear teachers talk to us for almost an hour, with short amount of time periods in between. Does this sound normal to you? Something needs to change, and I am willing to try to begin it. Whether it is shortening hours of the school day by a few, or going in a few hours later, or taking one day of the week off every other week. That is something that needs to change. Teenagers have the most stress out of anyone! That’s a fact. Do you want us to be more productive? Spread this message!
