On May 24, 2008, The Wall Street Journal posted an article online about the stresses of high school students today. It focuses on juniors, calling junior year "the worst year." The article talks about how students feel so much pressure in high school, from parents and themselves, that they may choose to attend a less prestigious college, or not attend college at all, to avoid the stress that comes with it.

Do you think parents put too much pressure on their children to get perfect grades? Does the amount of homework high schools give their students prepare them for college or scare them away from the idea of a university? Give us your thoughts!
