Pressure, Aug 13, 2007
I am a NHS alumni and there is too much pressure on the kids at this school. I graduated in the midst of a suicide - mania. One of the victims was someone I knew personally, and I happen to know that the pressure that teachers and administrators put on kids to go to a "great" college was a major factor in her decision to end her life. Yes, you get a great education, but only if you can handle a little pressure and stress.
