Even when I try to tell my parents how much pressure there is on me, I receive the "I had to go through with it, and I got through it just fine" response. It is irritating because personally, I feel a lot of pressure to excel, and I wondering where does this pressure to excel stop.

I am in the middle of teaching a depression/suicide unit for my 10th graders, and one thing I stress is a lot of the symptoms of teenage depression are commonly mistaken as "typical teenage hormones." Which is really unsettling because this means a lot of teenage depression goes diagnosed.

I strongly feel that high school became a big competition esp. between girls. You were popular if you had the nice name brand clothing, if you were skinny, and if you were dating a football player. Its sad that everyone is not seen as an equal and that even when your in high school you somehow get categorized into a group.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969630738144264442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720429045983154481.post-58254480924996074552014-02-16T19:31:50.918-08:002014-02-16T19:31:50.918-08:00I agree with you, teens have to deal with a lot mo...I agree with you, teens have to deal with a lot more than we give them credit for and it is only getting worse :-( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886714055352429626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720429045983154481.post-15157634159606870682014-02-16T15:12:50.954-08:002014-02-16T15:12:50.954-08:00I also agree with the stresses and pressure that t...I also agree with the stresses and pressure that teenagers face. I talked a little bit about it in my blog but I think as close in age as we are (20-25) to teenagers now (13-18) there are some HUGE differences. Social media exploded as did the use of smart technology almost about the time we were finishing up high school so we didnt really experience media literally in the palm of our hands like kids now are experiencing. I think that makes a huge impact on the pressures if you see the same things day in and day outAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700020345014341143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720429045983154481.post-76293734553505223902014-02-16T13:29:37.308-08:002014-02-16T13:29:37.308-08:00I agree that the media DOES have a lot to do with ...I agree that the media DOES have a lot to do with the pressures that children/adolescents face. The media enforces the idea of what it is to be "beautiful", "popular", "cool",etc. which is one of the major reasons that eating disorders and bullying exist. I agree that all the five discourses mentioned in this reading are present in today's society, and there are certain stereotypes people have for a teenager.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975697959896799628noreply@blogger.com
