As many of the high school students out there know, school can be difficult at times. Perseverance and determination are a students best friends during these times of disaster. Here are five of the hardest aspects of high school based on my opinion.

1. Time Management

Many times during my two years in high school I have caught myself wasting time on entertainments hubs such as YouTube and Netflix. These are killers, as I get off track with my homework and it takes me longer to complete it.

2. Workload

The transition from middle school into high school is devastating. The workload becomes humongous in high school, as classes get harder and more advanced. An average honors and AP course require 1-3 hours of time each night.

3. Peer Pressure

I am not talking about just drugs when it comes to peer pressure. Peer pressure includes all the things other people influence you to do. In high school every student encounters this and may do something they are uncomfortable with; that's why its best to be yourself and not follow other people.

4. Maintaining Grades

Along with the work load, maintaining a good GPA is extremely stressful. Tests and quizzes become more difficult and nearly impossible. Many students fail to cope up with their grades, and are therefore left behind by their peers.

5. Staying Strong

Finally, the toughest part of high school is staying strong and determined through all the stress and anxiety filled experiences. If a students can do this, there is nothing stopping them from a bright high school career.
