While i was up finishing my paper last night at like 1 in the morning...i had an idea for this topic...

what do u think about the amount of stress that teenagers face? has it always been this high or has is escalated in recent years and why? what are your opinions?

my opinion: i think teens have to face more stress and pressure then before. Now, all that matters is getting into college to parents, and the put more pressure on their kids to do well. "Ok" grades are no longer enough to get in. You need to take good courses, do well in them, and do tons of extracurricular activities. suicide is now the 3rd leading cause of death among teenagers, and i think stress has a big part to play.
