Students in high achieving schools are now an “at risk” group

No doubt that balance is important
“Communities touting the best-ranked schools are often the most in-demand among families. But this competitive environment can come at a psychological cost to those attending them. Emerging research is finding that students in “high-achieving schools” — public and private schools with high standardized test scores, varied extracurricular and academic offerings, and graduates who head off to top colleges — are experiencing higher rates of behavioral and mental health problems compared with national norms.”

teenage years are some of the biggest developmental years in your life. If you are under high stress for high achievement it can have some serious psychological consequences

Exactly what happened at my high school. I had my own issues but we had countless OD deaths.

Let kids be kids.
It is easier said than done and something I battle daily. However, I would rather my kid be emotionally and mentally healthy than be valedictorian of their class.

I can see it. These parents put so much damn pressure on these kids to be prodigies, not even just really, really good.

I’m sure most will become productive members of society once they realize no one really cares about you and it’s up to you to make your success and provide a better life for yourself, at least I hope so.
