High school is the most pivotal part of our lives. It decides our fate as we move forward into our adult lives. In high school we make massive life decisions, make new friends, and find ourselves and discover who we are as people. Some people decide to take high school light, or don’t have the proper guidance to fulfil their full potential throughout high school. High school makes or breaks a student's future and if they are not careful, they could regret their high school career for the rest of their life.If students were to fall behind and get bad grades, it will begin to reflect on them as a student and a person, and colleges won’t want to accept that student.

Students get lazy, it’s life, but what makes kids stress out the most is being held down with a heavy workload. This heavy workload is usually caused by students who just want to put stuff off until later because in their mind, they think they have the time and it will be easier. The sad truth is, it’s not easier. I have experienced troubles with procrastination because of factors such as sports and work, and even though I still find a way to get it done, it puts our body and mental health in danger. Procrastination can cause fatigue on to the human body. I have procrastinated on my work, and when it’s bound to be due , I stress to get it done and stay up until 2am to get it done.

As school gets harder on us teens, we begin to stress so much, getting to the point where we even lack sleep and for some students, depression. As I have gotten older, I’ve experienced a significant amount of stress in my life. Whether it’s sports, or just plain school I’ve had it, and trust me it’s not all worth it. A simple missing assignment doesn’t ruin your chances of going to college or graduating high school, or taking an Advanced placement class doesn’t make you smarter than anyone else, or anyone else smarter than you for that matter. If a student can’t handle a heavy workload, they shouldn’t take advanced classes because of the stress they endure, or if they can’t prioritize assignments or school , they should stay in the regular classes, because the stress you get is not worth an extra point you get on your GPA, whether it's an A or a C. I unfortunately learned that the hard way, and ever since, I’ve lightened my load, a lot. Say you do take an AP class and you don’t get credit for it because you know you couldn’t handle it but thought you might as well do it. So you don't get credit for a class
