School (a group post -it note comments)
<br /> stress, hectic schedule, learn time management/scheduling, find relationships with
<br /> teachers or mentors, encourages life balance to be skewed towards academics, provides
<br /> resources for balance, counsel, sports, get a good grade GPA, loads of homework, school
<br /> often gives too much work, cuts back on sleep and often on time with friends /family, also
<br /> prepares you for when you grow up, and obviously teaches you a lot, school puts a lot of
<br /> stress, mostly negative on pupils who are already trying to balance their lives, school
<br /> unbalances life, stress, takes a lot of time, encouraging staff, pressure, if you're involved
<br /> good grades, good work ethic, hang with wrong people not good grades
<br /> Based on comments above, this group said the following would help them with School:
<br /> school shorter
<br /> limit homework
<br /> additional support for academic kids
<br /> additional check in with counselors, have the counselors more available
<br /> meeting with parents about safe balance
<br /> testing for mental or social issues to have a 504
<br /> Extra curricular Activities (a group post -it note comments)
<br /> keep focused on track, out of trouble, put too much time into them, dependent only on the
<br /> activity, they are a necessary force to learn/better one's self, add stress /or not, way to get
<br /> rid of excess energy, relax, expression, keeps you sane, outlet to let go of stress, helps
<br /> you build character, keep my life more balanced with exercise, music, etc., it takes up a
<br /> lot of time, but its definitely worth it, they improve your future by giving positive stress
<br /> and offering rewards, require a lot of time commitment, late practice- sports, reliefs
<br /> stress, require dedication, achievement
<br /> Based on comments above, this group said the following would help them with Extra-
<br /> curricular Activities:
<br /> advertise sporting events correctly
<br /> athletic coaches understand balance with homework, family
<br /> Youth Commission comes up with events, cross -town alliances
<br /> Friends (a group post -it note comments)
<br /> stress relief, motivation to do better in school, other activities, support, someone to talk
<br /> to, somewhere to go, stressing me out about school and future, and offering drugs, going
