Stressed & Depressed - today’s high school students

[ss20ts]

I had a lot of homework and I graduated in the early 90's from high school. I just didn't do most of it. I wanted to have some free time. Between sports, clubs, and school, I felt like I put enough hours in. I wanted time to read books and magazines I wanted to read not ordered to read. I wanted to watch tv and movies. I wanted to have time to relax. I had a lot of family issues in high school and struggled immensely with my ADHD which caused depression. High school was rough for many students back then. I don't know many people in different ages who think high school was easy. It's definitely MUCH different than college. I didn't spend 7 hours a day in classes in college and then 3+ hours of homework 5 days a week.
