Ill Students get together for a chat before classes. Pressure: It's around us ev- eryday such as in school, in our homes, at our work and in our social lives. It's a very popu- lar ailment which causes much stress. It not only affects adults, but also teenagers, such as our- selves. In school, we must handle tests, doing homework and dealing with teachers. At work, we must meet up to the stan- dards of the boss or end up be- ing fired. At home we have the pressures of our parents who tell us what to do in life and in school. Much pressure is brought on by your peers. Friends may influence you to drink, smoke, take drugs or even cut a class. We must handle these pres- sures daily. Pressure isn't always con- sidered a negative aspect. Sometimes our friends, teach- ers and parents can encourage us to do things for our own good or that will help us later in life. Can You Handle It?!?!
