School isisnt about learning anymore, it's about passing with good grades
So true though...
FoodSlime4Life_ Lol agree
Getting good grades = remembering pointless information to jump through hoops, then promptly forgetting it all.
Purple Fire 28 omg so true
Totally true.
Each day just seems like an endless cycle. Get up at 6am, get dressed, eat, get on the train, sit at school till 4pm, go home, do 4hrs of homework, dinner, sleep 5-6hrs, repeat.
Same, I feel like dying :(
Right like I can’t wait until I get older

Same bc I'm really stressed bc I have a lot of homework and I also have 2 major projects and whenever I'm absent, I just put myself in a deeper grave
oh really i was thinking it was only me!
stay strong my friend 👊🏽
I suffer from it every day. I try to stay positive in front of people, but sometimes i cannot hold my tears fallling down. I try and try but it's pointless
I go through sleepless nights because I'm stressed over school
Hanna burchell Inside same here man
Same here, dude.
Me to and I'm only ten
You aren't the only one!
Same. I never know when my teachers are gonna get upset with me. Never know when there's gonna be friend trouble. Never know when I'm gonna forget to do something for homework. It's scary, and hard. But I have to try to trust that it's gonna be ok. That my teachers will be patient and understanding. That me and my friends will get along. That I'll remember to do what I need to do. And that I'll just over all have a good day. I totally know how you feel, but we just gotta trust that it'll be ok.
Students hate school not because they hate learning. In fact, we all love learning; you learn things even if you don't realize it. They hate school because of its system and how it works. It puts too much pressure and stress to students.
Correct, online school is only putting more pressure on other children, and some just can't take it.
@@AROD1131 plus they including me feel lost they can't learn stuff in online school
Exactly
No it doesn't. You're just lazy and spoiled and can't do a little work. You should get more homework.
@@The_Electric_54 stop it, you ran over all the comments saying the same thing, why are you doing this ? 😀
I get so stressed over school, because I am pressured into getting good grades and it makes me feel stressed ALL OF THE TIME. Sometimes I feel like I am just a huge failure, even though people tell me “no you’re not, your so smart” but that constant stress leads me to think I am failing😔
School treats you like robots
School makes you believe you will never succeed if you don’t have an A or A star
Come to germany grades are important
But still lazy and stressed out
True
Khaled Kalou yep me too
Yeah it all *sucks!*
I know right
I think that schools are just teaching the wrong way, they need to focus on actual human things.

@@The_Electric_54 So I need to learn multi step equations if I want to be a project manager? Okay, bud. That’s like saying somebody who wants to be a musician needs to learn and memorize the periodic table. Get real.

School: *YOUR HAPPINESS HAS BEEN EXPIRED*
Me: wow the world is so beautiful and I definitely don't want to commit suicide!
School: *"WHERE MY DOOMSLAYER SUIT AND BFG-9000 AND BFG DIVISON AT!"*
@@The_Electric_54 You can always change careers/jobs, but you can't get away from school
I love how calm she sounds
If that were me I would be yelling and lecturing the education system.
Because same💔
Schools fail to help kids to socialize and for many that creates lots of stress. It's not normal to be around 20 or 30 persons in a classroom and not giving them the chance to interact w each other. That creates a disconnection that generates distrust and fear of others. Workshop based on interactive activities are needed to help kids to learn good COMMUNICATION skills.
I am so happy when I get to work in groups at school for this reason :)
my class has 34 people ...when we try to talk during the class, the teacher always trys to make us stop talking, like dude u literally said in school u can make friends yet u want us to shut up!?
I once had massive social issues, and even went non-verbal for a while because during a 'transitional' age, when most people know how to communicate properly, I never learned how to interact with people. School thought I was clever because I was quiet, and never picked up on, or cared how I was struggling.
So yeah, communication is as important as math.
The grades should be replaced with only feedback
Exactly!
You should become president, ill vote for you
I feel like that’ll definitely remove a lot of stress
@@marksmoljo3717 I also feel like the American education system cares mostly about grades and not so much about the process of the students actually learning
@@marksmoljo3717 Dang😕
I have stress in school and enough to go around for the whole world. Every second of the day I’m terrified.

She's a high schooler talking to a large stadium of mainly adults, god I can't even talk to people at school idk, let alone that many... I think she has a pass here
Tiny The Weirdo I would hyperventilate because I have a huge fear of public speaking, which is ironic because my dream job is to become a movie actor
I agree that having good grades adds to stress. I have developed what can only be called an obsession with my English grade. I have had all 100s since the beginning of the year, and every time there is something to turn in for a grade I have a panic attack. This mostly stems from the fact that I want to establish a career as an author. I love my English class, but it stresses me out because it makes me feel like I _have_ to be the best. I can’t help but think that everything would be different if my first English grade had been even slightly lower than 100.
I feel exactly the same in regards to my English grade.
So true!
It won’t matter in the real world. Let that stress go. Look up john taylor gatto on UA-cam for the history of why schools were created. Striving to please these people is pointless and won’t help you in the real world. Schools are frustrating and hard because they are designed to brainwash you to be obedient and jump through hoops for authority figures. They aren’t for educating you or bettering your life. Take it from someone who was an overachiever who has been out of school for a long time now. It won’t matter later. What will matter is your ability to educate yourself when you’re done with school and your ability to unlearn all the lies you’ve been taught and truly educate yourself.
Don’t worry too much about your English grade
You will become an author
But your whole career doesn’t depend on your own grammar knowledge
You still have an editor
It’s hard because I try hard to get the very best on everything, and that becomes my best. My best isn’t my personal best, but the grade that I’m given. For one of my classes, we had to draw an entire world map by hand, and I lost sleep and energy and had so much stress over it, and I got a c, while people that didn’t do as well as I did got a’s and b’s. I was so sad for the rest of the day and couldn’t think straight. I am a person that is surrounded by people telling me that grades are the most important thing and that I need good grades in order to achieve greatness. I don’t know how true that is, but st this point, it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. I want to be a happy kid, but I can’t anymore.
i’m a freshman in college and i have had this struggle ever since i was in high school. sometimes i feel like school isn’t about learning anymore and more about just passing and getting good grades. we shouldn’t let school consume our lives. we should set boundaries so it doesn’t give us so much stress.
People are so worried about what she said about Africa, when you should be listening to the truth about school. It’s so stressful and I feel like teachers don’t completely understand that
I feel like if I relax I would become different from other people, and fall in the eyes of my parents, teachers etc. This Is why I burnout. Self satisfaction is everything for me.
Each second I'm outside of school I feel happiness.
Each second I'm inside school I always feel stress and anxiety.
I spend 12 hours sitting and learning
Wth i never learn
I spend 4.5 hours
This African girl...
When she would started going to school normally like us, she would also be stressed and would not like to
It's their only chance in life, they have no insurance (parents money and support, our countries public insurances) like we do, so I suppose that could stress some in their place out..?

Very well put! DONT FOCUS ON THE PRESSURE OF A GRADE.... BE MORE INTERESTED IN LEARNING! Great point!!
My parents are probably the biggest source of my pressure, if I get a bad grade or god forbid if I get a C on my report card I feel absolutely terrible and they make me feel terrible about it too, they act disappointed and I can't blame them but it's just too much. I just can't deal with this stress in my life. I worry constantly about my grades and I always think about how I can improve, I will fly into anxiety attacks over poor grades because I think I will grow to become a failure and I will never be good enough.

Overreacting. Fake suicide thoughts for attention. What's wrong with your generation
It’s like that for me. Sometimes, I can’t take it anymore. I’m too afraid to, and I don’t want to give things up. It’s going to get worse.. I know I’m too young and people with think I’m edgy.. I’m 12 and I can’t wait for it to get harder :/
I'm currently failing classes because of the stress to do everything perfect and to do the homework on the free time that i don't have. I thought I was supposed to learn in school but one hour on youtube can teach me more than stressful years of my life!
I thought ted talks were suppose to motivate me - this is just reminding me of my school like I don’t want to think about that

I’m a freshman in high school, and I can’t take it anymore. I go on social media and see all these kids my age becoming famous and not having to do anything but “make tiktoks” or “make UA-cam videos”, but then I get back to my terrible life and realize that I have to go to school, and deal with all this bs. My father died 2 months ago, and I’ve been taking it pretty hard, but my school could care less about what I’m going through. School is very inconvenient right now to be honest, I just truly do not want to go anymore. And yes, I know some people in other parts of the world would kill to be educated, but sadly I am just not one of those people who want to learn. I just want to travel the world and get a decent paying job, at somewhere where I can work the night shift. People say that’s not a good life to live, but I don’t care. That’s how I want to live. I don’t want to go to college, I don’t want to finish high school. And I do not want to go through what I’m going through any longer. I have had it up to my breaking point with school. There is no hope for me, and there is no hope that I will get my happiness back. It is 5:00am right now and I still have not gone to sleep. I have to wake up at 6:00am. So there is really no point in going to sleep. I guess this is just going to be yet another sleepless night. I go to one of the worst schools in my town, and the people there are just so horrible, they are all so mean and cruel to each other, I do not want to go there anymore. I do not want to continue this vicious cycle that we call life. I just cannot take it anymore. Please, if anyone feels the way I do, please reply to me, and tell me your story, I would love to hear🖤
Actually I just wanted to say that I’ll definitely pray for you and I’m so sorry for your loss
Hey i hope you’re doing okay. I know its been a year but I just want you to know you’re not alone. I feel the same way lately and its breaking me apart.

It wont matter in 10+ years
most of my highschool stress came from the socialising aspect.. I was so anxious in class everyday that I couldn't focus on my grades. looking back i spent a lifetime of time I should've used hanging out and identifying the mysteries of life and cracking jokes with friends on playing video games alone. this can go on a tangent about "the woes of excessive gaming" but I guess I would say hang out with your friends more instead of becoming a hermit.
I get really stressed because of grades and tests and I’m always just studying and I can’t relax or go out with friends because I always feel stressed about the next exam and I feel guilty that I’m not studying
It’s just terrible 😭
stressing over school, cause my mom forces me to go to every spelling bees, and stressed over bad grades, this is so bad, im just being forced, i love education but this is not how i do it, being locked in my bedroom and crying to sleep?..
I guess we all struggle with school and especially being pressured about grades that for me I start seeing nothing except that number judging me I keep comparing myself with everyone and end up procrastinating to escape stress and end up stressing way more. I think viewing school like said Adisa will give us new respectives and doing school for ourselves and our sake of knowledge instead of impressing or pleasing others will help us even with our grades in an indirect way. School doesn’t have to be this negative reality beating us but a blessing we get.
hi, if ur like me, stressed, crying over homework, I just wanted to let you know that you dont need to die. you dont need to be sad. sit there for a few more minutes, cry, and then you'll realise there's some hope. now get on with that assignment.
Education doesn't have to be a miserable experience as it is with most standard schools. Look into Self-Directed Education. And the idea that an impoverished kid in another country would love to take your place as a student in school, doesn't make your plight any less unacceptable. Also western compulsory education isn't exactly the beacon of hope you make it out to be. Watch the film: Schooling the World.
Watching this video was my assigned homework
I have above a 4.0 but I still feel not good enough and I realized that's never going to go away because people will always be better than me
I know how some people suffer, I myself suffered many times at school. But say to yourself you're lucky, cause if you stop school before being able to find a job (like if you have no diploma) and you have no alternative, you're really in trouble.
When I was at school, I experienced a lot of this stress as well. I put myself through it, hoping that good grades would give me success in later life. Now I am so burnt out from school, that 5 years later, I find myself so ill that I can not work at all. Where is the success?
Oh my goodness she is GORGEOUS!
too relateable
Everything that she said is exactly what i feel.
Thanks, Carley!
Especially in this pandemic, I've been very stressed about assignments, and with my social anxiety, I can't ask for help. I've been lacking the will to do anything. And since online schooling, I've been very tired for some odd reason. I've been out of it for the past couple months, and I've been pretty sad, despite the fact I have a great family, and have lots of things that should make me happy. I've also lost many friends. I was thinking of dropping out, but my parents would be very disappointed in me. I always just want to give up. And I do give up. Then I think of all the negative things my parents would say about me. Then I try to do all the assignments I gave up on, just to make my parents proud. I tried to tell them how I feel and I can't. I keep all my emotions bottled up inside of me. The only chance I get to vent is in the comments since they can't judge me in anyway except my story.
same situation except the dropping out part...
Me too ive lost so many friends and I dont want to continue with school anymore:(
I needed this today
School in a nutshell: Time to learn how to escape school to go to......*drumroll*.....MORE SCHOOL!!!
School is so important to me! My parents didn’t get the right education, and I want to be able to prove to them that I will succeed in school. Everyone in my family has good grades! Not trying to brag but it’s been 2 years and I only get straight A’s but the thing is people think school comes easy to me cause I am the “smartest” people sometimes stereotype! They think I don’t try because it comes easy to me! I stress so much about school because i am so used of getting straight A’s
Alright, as a freshman, I just wanted to say that I’m in a rut right now. I’ve been in high school for exactly 6 full days, and I’m already looking at 2 hours of homework every night. As someone that has never gotten lower than a 92 on a report card (and doesn’t plan on it), I breakdown when the most minuscule things happen in class, and I think it’s taking me apart. I used to go to school excited to learn new things and develop my skills in different classes, but now it just feels like pure stress, and I’m scared that if I let the stress get to me I won’t get good grades anymore, and what does that mean for my future?? My father was the first person in his family to go to college, and I want to continue the pattern, so how do I do that without the little stresses of excess homework, no free time, and loss of motivation restraining me?? I don’t know what to do with my life anymore.
Im a sophomore in high school i can completely relate to your situation. My grandfather went from living in a squatter home to becoming a major figure in the agricultural industry. He was able to give my dad the resources to go to a good college and he ended up going to UC Berkeley even though he went to a high school in a small Poor agricultural town. Now as I’m getting into high school I want to continue the progression of growth that my Family has had so I want to achieve even more than what my dad was able to accomplish. Freshman year I took the hardest classes offered that year and I was able to manage getting good grades which made my parents very proud, however, this ambition to take the hardest classes would be much more than I expected come sophomore year. Again I chose a very difficult and homework heavy class schedule. I was able to get through the first semester with a 4.5 GPA which made my parents very proud but as a I looked back on what I accomplished I felt nothing, I felt like I had accomplished nothing and I just met the expectations that I set for myself. I looked back on the memorable moments of my first semester and o could think of almost nothing. I was always rushed all the time to get my homework done that I was unable to just enjoy life and this rushed and stressed lifestyle made it difficult for me to maintain healthy relationships and make new friends. I feel like my parents think that i am going to be super successful in life and they are now thinking about college programs for me and other things like that but I’m afraid I won’t meet the standard that they believe I can meet. Now I’m in my second semester and I was afraid I was going to feel the emptiness and loneliness I felt the first so I tried to be more calm and not be so stressed but that has only caused more stress as I’ve been struggling to finish my homework on time. I’ve had constant breakdowns telling myself that I’m going to be a failure if I don’t get good grades and although my parents have supported me when I feel the most down I’m afraid I have to go through that same cycle of stress and emptiness when I have to start the school week again . I’m not sure what I’m gonna do since the school year is about to end but I don’t want to continue suffering and I just want to enjoy life. I just realized you wrote this comment thee years ago so I hope you were able to overcome your situation.
you're a junior now how has it been
@@casafuentes5586 how are you doing now? Are you not as stressed anymore? Did your mindset change?
how are you doing now as you would have graduated by now
Teachers literally think you have all the time in the world to revise and do homework, eg: my English teacher wants me to read for 35 minutes a day and if we don’t we get a detention, my private maths tutor wants me to do an hour of maths a day, and then I get like 3 pieces of homework a day and then I want to revise for an hour of geography and science as they are what I also need to get good grades in- btw I am in yr 9/ 8th grade, and I still dek when my GCSE’s start lol
Are you ok now? :3
Our world is getting so monotonic and boring.. has it always been that way or are we just starting to recognise that?
really sorry you have such an inconsiderate learning system at school. I hope something at some point will be done and next generations won't have to deal with that @Fatimah XD
it will be more stressing for upcoming generations

Exactlyyyyyyy and their is just so so so so much of stress I feel like I m getting crushed under it 😞😟
Stress is real
Cambridge Home School you got that right
I'm a freshman, and I'm an overachiever. By far, my marks lately haven't been very high, and I'm on the brink of collapsing. I'm so tired high school has me burnt out. I want to graduate, but I also want to drop out. I don't actually want to drop out, but I have so many passions. I just don't know what exactly I want to do with my life. I can't take this anymore it's so depressing.
I know I am smart and I know I can do it. I tend to have sharp thinking, great intuition and I don't give up easily. One thing I'm truly terrible at is school. I have a few subjects that I like: Biology, English, Psychology, but in the end I still have to study the other subjects as well. And I can't learn something I truly find interesting: about criminals, detective work etc.
Even doing school at home, I'm so stressed. We have 25 things due this sunday. I have so many essays due as well. I'm very stressed right now. This helped me a bit.
I just cried
Why can’t they just let kids be kids??
After school we should be socializing, hanging out with friends, practicing hobbies, experiencing the world! But we are stuck sitting at our desks all night doing endless pages of homework. That’s a major flaw in the system.
Homework should only be assigned if it was actually school work that was failed to be completed in class, and if the student had enough time in general to complete it in class.
Homework should not be assigned in heaps and piles because it is detrimental to student’s mental health. High stress, depression, and anxiety often are products of school. Student’s simply don’t have the time to do any self work or self reflection, nor time to process emotions properly because of the demand on time that school has on them.
On average, a school day does not end. The student wakes up, goes to school and studies/learns/does work, and then gets home and studies/learns/does work. It’s a draining cycle that doesn’t end.
Please. Let kids be kids. Let us enjoy our lives instead of miserably spending all of it on school work. Let us learn about the world and socialize after we spent a long day at school. Let us have time to process our emotions and do self work.
I recently moved to an entirely different city and am attending a new school from the second semester. I’ve only gone a few days so far but can’t seem to make any friends, because everyone else already has their tight knit friend groups. To me, it’s not so much the classes that make me dread school, it’s just how disconnected I feel from the whole school. When you have lots of school work, you often have your friends by your side and you help each other get through, but I have nobody at the moment, so I feel extremely lost and unmotivated. I dread French class because I don’t get most of the stuff my teacher says, and there’s no one who can help me because the people in my table all only communicate together and it makes sitting with them feel like dead weight. I honestly think I won’t be making friends anytime soon😭
I feel you, girl. Even in my college, it feels like no one from my class is emotionally connecting with me. They are helpful, but no one involves me in their groups. You won't believe it when I say that almost the entire class hung out somewhere and I wasn't even told about it. It hurts to be an outcast in one's class but I think we just have to accept it. After all, we can't just go around asking for validation and connection. But I have a few senior friends, and it's lovely to have them in my life. I am very grateful for that. I was just pointing things out from my class. I am very well satisfied emotionally now, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and that if I can get through this, there's hope for you too. Sending love.
Aww :( I can be your friend !
school makes me cry everyday...
I cry sometimes because of it
school doesn’t teach us about things that would help us in life, they teach us about how to pass our grades but not things that would actually help us survive
Last year I loved school so much then in September I still loved school new year I didn't love homework but I didn't stress then God was like it's time for you to go trough some hard time and I cry everyday I have everything mom and dad sister brother but I cry even tough I get good grades I put pressure for no reason I have to try to not cry in school and keep it inside cus it's not a good impression to my friends
Teachers in my school compares us because others complain about how hard it is to go to school when you have only few hours to sleep. They say that they do their lesson plans and etc then sleep for like 3-4 hours when we 'students' sleep for 1-2 hours because of the assignments, projects, reports and other school works. The other teachers would give their works to me because of how tired they are they say. Im always checking my classmates's homeworks, seatworks and quizzes and I can't complain because it is no help to argue with them. Im also the one who is assigned for putting some of my classmates grade on the class card. Im a student but I felt like im more of a teacher.
I am feeling stressed right now and i am watching this again.
Honestly I've heard this message so many times and it's just a guilt-trip. It sounds to me like 'you don't deserve to feel bad about school because some people in a far off country have it worse than you'. no thanks.
U know I love how when I go back to school I’ll have like 5 minutes to interact with my family before I go to school
The stress and anxiety I get from school is even worse now that I’m turning 16 in 6 days so now I’m going to have to juggle school a job homework and fitness
I have so many homework’s and quizzes in a week. I also have a Science project due on Friday and Reading Adventure due on Monday.
Im 14 years old, not embarrassed to say that, i think about school and sometimes even think about bad stuff, very bad stuff. Its because i dont know and i cant do those difficult tasks they request us to do..
I cry more over school over someone dying probably
I used to love going to school because I would learn many thing I was interested in. Now school is a place where you have to focus, put pressure on yourself to get the best grades. And that pretty sad to me because I always had to deal with the anxiety at school. The pressure I always had to deal with just made it harder for me to learn, so from 3rd grade to 6 grade(today) I started failing my classes so I got enrolled in home school. And another thing, all schools want every student to pass, but everytime someone had low grades like a D or sometimes an F on one or two subjects they would still pass them and that leads he students to more problems and so on. That is what I'm dealing with right now
I’ll be praying for you
good information
I wake up at 9 am, I go to school at 11 or 12 am, I stay at school 7 hours or 6 hours, I come home at 6, I eat than i am doing my homework the rest of my "free" time and I go sleep at 11. What a beautiful life I HAVE.. And I also struggle at school with bullies, fake friends and embrassment everyday. + Here in Romania we have hard school. Like what Americans are doing in 8 grade we are doing in 5 grade. And we have 7 hours/ 6 hours per day with 10 minute pauses each hour. I hate my life, I better die
American education is not that easy as it is frequently portrayed. Local schoolers also receive a daily dose of academic pressure, believe me.
how are you doing now? are you feeling better
Thanks for the vid. Another good source is the book "30 Days to Reduce Stress" by Harper Daniels.
that's exactly how I feel.
even though this was 4 years ago, my name is carley and i just finished 8th grade, and her name is carley and she was in 8th grade at the time. WHAT? also i needed this bc my grades went down a lot over quarantine and i’m terrified of how my parents are gonna react.
I can't sleep anymore because I discipline myself to stay up and do what feels like an endless amount of work, and having to stay along with the attendance 😩
The better grades you get the more your parents push you, I’m a a student but how do you get better than that? And I really stress over group projects because most kids in my class doesn’t even try. Usually I get stuck with someone that doesn’t do anything and I have to do the project all by myself! Why!
I hate how people keep up this thing where if you aren’t having the worst thing happen to you then your problems aren’t important. Just because I’m not a starving kid in Africa doesn’t mean that me having a crippling fear of passing my tests in school so that my parents will let me keep the things that I have fun with isn’t a problem.
When your school is making you watch this to do a assignment on how this is wrong
Wtf
I have almost drop out of secondary school, because of homeworks and my parents pressuring me to get good grades since I've come to Spain and Ireland I am originally from the Philippines
Stress: Peers
Fake friends
I failed 3 tests today I have another test tomorrow and a history test the next day...my stress is piling...
YES,of course we need to study to have a better future for but does not mean we need to sacrifice our childhood which will never come back !...
having anxiety and stress or etc,..in young age shows that we aren't doing right.why is the world like this?
:(
Also timing standardized tests is so wrong. I was doing my practice ap exam and i had to read a spanish article and answer question in like 10 mins and I got it all wrong but when I took my time I got it all right. Like- they’re measuring how fast you can work, not how well you understand the subject
your video may help student making a good rhetoric😊
I'm just so scarred for tomorrow maybe it's gonna be a surprise test?! Who knows I'm just a walking stress
To the person reading this, I wish you great success, happiness, health and love. Have a great day.
