You're Not Alone - The most common high school struggles

Last week we asked you what your teen struggles with most when it comes to school and studying.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who wrote in. We were thrilled by the number of you who got in touch and shared your story with us.

Perhaps not so surprisingly, the vast majority of questions had something to do with motivation.

Well... really lack thereof...

Other common questions brought up the topics of stress and time management.

We hope that our responses shed new light on these situations. But if you’re keen for some extra reading, here are some articles we’ve found that specifically tackle these three big issues – motivation, stress, and time management.

Enjoy!
