What's your say on teenage pressures? - 3

So we have all confirmed academic and financial pressures are very stressful, but do any others affect all of you?

How can teenagers have financial pressures unless they have to provide for their parents or something? Even then, that's extremely rare. Peer pressure's definitely out there, but I can't imagine it being hard to ignore. Just takes a little bit of assertiveness.

In japan, I believe if you ever got a 99 and not a 100 you'd be punished.

This is the dumbest stereotype I've ever seen and the amount of people (i think it was 1 which is 1 too many) agreeing with or defending this statement is appalling.

People obviously don't have that assertiveness otherwise it wouldn't be an issue.

I feel that its the parents fault if they put that child under pressure by saying I'll kick you out or more at a young age causing them to feel that if they fail one subject there automatically not family material.

It's not the parents' fault, it's only natural to push your child to succeed. Don't be so melodramatic.

It's not the parents' fault if the child hurts themselves, however this example is in it's purest form emotional abuse.

Right.

Just wait til these dudes have to feel the real life pressures of:

-Rent / Mortgage
-Electricity
-Water
-Phone Bill
-Internet / Cable Bill
-Car loan / maintenance / upkeep
-Car Insurance
-Health Insurance...
-Food..

And the list goes on...

Enjoy the trivial pressures you guys are whining about while you can.

I don't see anybody whining, I just see honest examples of how teens go through peer pressure.

These aren't pressures, they're just bills.

It honestly doesn't feel like an issue anymore, I rarely hear anything about problems coming from peer pressure anymore. There are those minor things like taking shots at parties, but these are such trivial, fleeting pressures that really shouldn't even be discussed as a "pressure". I suppose it happens on a larger scale on weightier issues such as being pressured into prolonged smoking/alchohol/etc but the vast majority of people who truly don't want to can usually avoid it.

I'm pretty stressed out as of now with school and all. I do think we're put under loads of pressure, and some teachers just make it worse.

Wait until you get a halfway-demanding job. What's the worst that can come out of poor performance in school? Your Xbox One being taken away for a week and a scolding from your parents. If you have a job with any responsibility, you run the risk of being unemployed at any given moment and - bam - you're on the streets, struggling to pay rent. I can understand stress in school if you're looking towards a four-year university, but it's hardly "pressure".

I don't think teens are under pressure, I honestly think its the contrary, they're practically doing whatever they want these days.
