Problems & Struggles

High school, as fun as it is made to seem, is more often than not a stressful time for many people. High school is like a tug of war except you're the rope. It feels like everyone is trying to put their ideals on you or drive you towards the "right" path. I have always been a relatively good student and I plan on remaining like that for the rest of my high school, and college, days. But the social stress of people either wanting you to do something you don't want to or maybe just overall making your life difficult is hard. There will always be "bad" people and they are unavoidable. I've been offered drugs before and sure I managed to say no but with the stress of the classes and other things I definitely considered it so that I could relieve myself or relax, even if it is just for a short while. There's also the struggles at home that contribute to this stress. Whether it's financial or a health issue with someone from the family.
