High school students go through so much stress like academic pressure and extracurricular activities; some might go through job pressure. Nowadays students go through so much stress both inside and outside of school than in past generations.  

Students and teachers deal with stress very well. Science teacher Ajia Florence described how students’ common stress and how teachers play a role in students’ life to get out of those stressful situations by advising them, and how parents can become a way of relieving stress to the student. 

“So, it is very difficult to find the balance between school, personal life, work life as well as their athletics as well,” Florence said. “I think that every person is different for how they manage their stress levels, but I think it’s helpful for people to maybe take time, like personal time for yourself, even if you can take maybe a few hours throughout the week”  

Carson Ahearn ’26 has a lot of dreams in his eyes about the Air Force Academy. Ahearn said he wants to pursue engineering after the Air Force. He is now at the Made Academy and it’s stressful for him. 

“I also want to pursue some type of engineering down the line, so it is getting kind of nerve wracking with applying right now and then doing things in school,” Ahearn said. “I have a little bit of stress about SAT, because trying to prepare for it, I’ve taken, I taken it. I took it last year, and then I also took it again this year, because I, I paid to take it.” 

Vansh Bhugra ’26 said he is also stressed out with the future. He is not so stressed about his career yet, but school makes him stressed. After the summer, it’s getting a little bit hard for him to get used to school and the stress of last year’s classes in high school. 

“School, school is just school like, I struggle every now and then, but I’m fine,” Bhugra said. “Bad grades may make me pretty stressed. Homework, sometimes, studying, staying at home, not being able to do stuff I like, and that’s what makes me stressed,”
