Most Common Mental Health Challenges for High School Students
High school is a minefield of mental health struggles for each and every high school student, regardless of their social status. The pressures placed on these teens continue to rise each year. A large contributing factor today is parents. They want their children to do well in high school so they can go on to have a successful college experience and be exceptional in life. Young people today are pressured to excel in academics, athletics, extracurriculars, volunteering, work experience, and more. The problem with such high expectations is that teens feel the heavy weight of this pressure, and it can be overwhelming to have so many expectations placed on young people who are highly susceptible to succumbing to and becoming overwhelmed by such pressures placed on them by both peers and parents. These pressures can easily lead to mental health issues, and some parents also unfairly take their personal issues out on their children, which can lead to even greater issues that can last a lifetime if teens do not learn to manage them in a safe and healthy manner.
