Parental Pressure within High School Students

Parental Pressure within High School Students

I.     I became interested in this topic because my entire academic life has
been filled with pressure from my parents.  This pressure was mainly in school
and grades, and in high school, the amount of pressure increased dramatically.
This is because my parents  now realized that everything in high school counts
towards college.  When I first came to high school, my grades were not as good
as they were in middle school.  I needed a little time to adapt to high school
before I could improve my grades.  During this time, my parents became upset
because I brought home a report card that was not as good as they were expecting.
Then I really noticed the pressure getting higher and higher.  I did not only

other libraries.  BELS is a program that lists all the books in Franklin Lakes,
Wyckoff, and Oakland.  It is a network that unites the two public libraries and
the one in Indian Hills.  I then went to an article search.  I had no luck here
either.  When I went home, I went on America Online to try to find some articles
or any secondary sources.  I went to the article search and still found nothing.
After a few days, I asked the school librarian to help me find some books.  She
guided me to a section that had books about social problems.  Luckily, I found
two books on families and parents.  These were two good books, but I still
needed at least one more to fulfill my requirement.  I went to the Special
Services department and talked to a person there.  She gladly offe...
