Parents and Teachers are a large contribution to this issue. Parents naturally will push their kids to become a better person and achieve high, but this sometimes becomes an issue. As parents say, We want you to be happy and If we can help you in any way ask usually are the ones who put the most pressure on their kids as theyre trying to be at the standards their parents want. Its obvious that teenagers dont cope with school and the problem is that parents and teachers are noticing it but dont do anything about it because thats what life is about but thats wrong. Most teenagers are constantly so stressed as theyre scared of failure as theyd be letting down themselves, parents and teachers. Its found that over 49% of students reported that their feeling A great deal of stress every day. A study called Perfection is increasing over time finds that young adults are under more pressure than ever from others which include parents. The surge for perfection from young adults are becoming unhealthy as theyre feeling they must excel in everything they do. Perfectionism can lead to such things as eating disorders, depression, high blood pressure and thoughts of suicide, which is becoming common in our community these days.
Schools like to say that they prevent bullying and care about the students health when in fact most schools dont. 45 percent of people will experience mental illness at least once in their lives and over million people suffer depression just in Australia each year. These are adults who are facing these issues, could you imagine how many young adults facing the same things every day but worse? Adults can handle these things
a bit better as well, young adults have no idea what to feel and are unsure how to cope with it. A study shows that at least 20% of teens experience depression before adulthood and that because of school. Depression is something that affects everyone differently and its something that people joke around about when in fact it can be life-threatening. The effects that come with depression are the mood changes every day, the loss for pleasure for activities that once were enjoyed, too much or not enough sleep, weight loss or gain, low energy, feeling worthless and guilty, trouble concentrating and intrusive thoughts such as death or suicide. Juggling these things is asking someone to breathe without oxygen, its impossible. Parents and teachers cant feel what these students are feeling which of course makes it hard but pushing on a student when its obvious theyre not in the right headspace doesnt help them cope anymore. This results forcing more and more onto their plate to which most students decide to give up on trying to achieve high and deciding to put little to no effort in. If you knew how these students feel day in day out, youd understand that this isnt something that can pass overnight and be fine the next day, its something that can stick with you for the rest of your life. This is how society is going wrong, cutting down on any bit of pressure will help a young adult to strive and achieve high when theyre in the right headspace. As someone who has dealt with depression as myself, I seriously understand that its one of the hardest things that youll ever face mentally, with school on top of it all its overwhelming beyond extent.
