The biggest, and worst pressure of a teen is the pressure to achieve a higher education and put themselves in massive debt for a piece of paper.

In japan, I believe if you ever got a 99 and not a 100 you'd be punished.

Nope. At least not most of them. That's just stereotype-speaking. You Japanese?

3 words - Look it up.

That's absolutely a stereotype, what the hell are you talking about?

I said if they go too far as in threatening them with things they shouldn't be threatening them with.

Subjective.

I think teen pressures are natural and fair, besides for the college financial pressures, as Dusty mentioned. Whether you like it or not, you spend your teen years getting ready for adulthood-- obviously there are going to be a lot of changes you won't like. I'm 18, so technically still a teen, but although I hated a lot of sh*t I've had to deal with in high school, I still appreciate the hardships as part of who I am. Once you learn how to deal with issues and then get over it (physically and emotionally, emotionally being the hard part for most teens), puberty gets way easier

I'm talking about that in japan, some japanese parents are so strict and that causes a lot of pressure on their kids. Even if there trying to help them become perfect, it can affect them academically. I did some research and I can correct myself that it was the females that were treated this way the most.

I think other than that most people are being wimps and need to learn to cope with ****. If your parents are pressuring you to get grades it's because they know you can; in which case it's really your fault for spending time doing whatever and not studying/doing homework. If you're friends are offering you drugs just say no, if they are gonna pressure you to take them they're ******* not friends. If you have family issues get over it, everyone does. Everything I've posted I've gone through so don't give me "its not that easy", if you're feeling overly pressured 99% of the time you're being a bitch and it's your fault anyway.

That is stereotyping. Only the most extremes push their kids to the max.

Also, don't think internet has the most 3rd person views, and can always be trusted.

Yet you believe pretty much everything that everyone says on it ù_ú

How about we just continue the thread with someone else's comments. Yes great Idea!

Scene 1: Well it is the way of life for a girl who messed up her life getting pregnant with a baby on her way. The pressure on blowing that sucker out is tremendous and I feel bad for that kind of pressure of pooping a human. #random

Scene 2: There is so much pressure when people try to show off for their loved ones by either doing drugs because they think it is cool or just want to look hot/sexy by looking to damn skinny or looking like a douchebag for that male/female friend. #dope

Scene 3: I do think it is to much pressure for us graalians to understand what type of pressure you are talking about.

Drugs are sooooo coooool.  

My pressure as a teen:
OH GOD MY TEST CORRECTIONS ARE DUE BUT I DIDN't DO EM!
Crud, forgot to post on every section of the forums.
Gotta play Zone later.
Gotta troll on Classic later.
Gotta be mean at school, then be really nice, then be funny.  

So we have all confirmed academic and financial pressures are very stressful, but do any others affect all of you?  

To be quite frank, the social pressure of today makes you tear yourself apart over whether to go by your own beat, or to march along with the rest of the band. For me its not only that but romantic or even sexual pressure, with all these women begging me to make love with them. I keep being torn apart between going up to my own standards, or catering to all my friends and lovers. Not to mention that my addiction to gaming keeps flaring near daily. Plus the 90's was wrong, nerds aren't the future.

Yet. ;)



Spot the part where I had you all saying "pfft, I wish!"
