FOOD FOR THOUGHT
This week’s “Food for Thought” is from The New York Time Magazine, which asks the very important question- Why Are More American Teenagers Than Ever Suffering From Severe Anxiety?
“For many of these young people, the biggest single stressor is that they “never get to the point where they can say, ‘I’ve done enough, and now I can stop,’ ” Luthar says. “There’s always one more activity, one more A.P. class, one more thing to do in order to get into a top college. Kids have a sense that they’re not measuring up. The pressure is relentless and getting worse.”
Thank you for all of your support of East Greenwich High School, our students, and our mission to EMPOWER all members of our school’s community. Have a great week.
