Claim: In today's society, teens in school are pressured to do good, get excellent grades and keep up on various assignments. Education has the most important effect on teens as they move up through the grade levels, which progressively increase in difficulty.
Specifically, Junior year is the most challenging year for teens because colleges look at this year to determine whether if the student can go study at their campus or not. Students are also pressured to make decisions of their own in order to get into the college they desire, ultimately deciding their future. A majority of high schools have Honors and Advanced Placement classes, which students are free to take. However, most choose to not enroll in these classes, or enroll and suddenly drop out. The reason behind this is because of the tremendous work load, or fear of failure if the student is not yet enrolled in the class.
Some may argue that family or friends have more of an impact than education. While in some cases that may be true, teens are pressured to make more of their own choices and decide how their future is going to be.
