Importance Of Pressure In School

Pressure! Pressure! Pressure! -Sharon K There are several reasons why students complain of too much pressure and stress, not only at school, but also at home. Looking at my own point of view and what I go through as a schooling child, I’ll explain different ways I find both school and home pressuring to me, and how I cope with these “issues.” School can be very stressful sometimes. One of the main pressure I find in school is to be able to maintain good grades. Most of the time I pressure myself when it comes to getting good grades, since my parents don’t really pressure me.

Thirdly, I try my best to do all i can on each test and make sure i covered each well and also pray for memory so as to be able to do all the tests I get in school well. Lastly, how I deal with myself not wanting to cooperate with someone else when I have a problem, I simply deal with it until i figure it out, but when it's too much, i ask for help, because I don’t really have any other

    According to “College Pressures” by William Zinsser, there are four varieties of pressures: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure.
