Pressure, hardship, constant observation.
Advanced placement, late study sessions.
And way too many extracurriculars.
All the parents constantly nagging their children.

So many students cracking, can’t handle it.
They drop like flies, one after another.
Driving themselves to their breaking point.
They try so hard but it is never enough.

What started this trend? Who made the decision?
To allow the future generation to be
buried into the ground, by all the assumptions.
What else must the student have taken from them?

A student’s well-being, or overall health
Is all this pressure really worth that “good”  GPA?
