https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/surviving-your-childs-adolescence/201503/adolescent-excellence-and-managing-high-expectations This article relates to school because students can become overwhelmed and emotional with school work because of a teachers expectations. There are ways of managing expectations for school work and any other kind of work that a student may be doing. But school work is mainly what students are focused on. If you have high expectations for yourself on a test or quiz and you haven't met those expectations, you may become emotional or upset with yourself and your score. Psychology Today says that predictions, ambitions, and conditions are a huge factor in making expectations for yourself. These three things can help the outcome of the expecations be positive. With a positive outcome can help you make more expectations for yourself for other parts of your life. Throughout your whole life, you should have expectations set. I think that this article helped me learn a lot about setting goals and realistic expectations for myself. A long with being able to inform my parents on realistic expecations from them, too! Staying positive is also another thing that this article reminded me to do. With school work and other things going on, things can become overwhelming and immediately turn negative. Expectations can help turn that negativity into something positive!

Alex, I completely agree with the article you read. School is the main focus for a lot of teens because these days there are a lot more expectations and it can mess with our emotions and can be overwhelming. I think that the three things you put that can help the outcome of expectations be positive will work very well and if I get overwhelmed I will think about using these.

Alex, I completely agree with you. School is most peoples main focus, and it should be. I also agree with you when you talked about having high expectations for a test or a quiz, and if you did not meet those requirements that you set for yourself, you feel like you've let yourself down, which is definitely something that will cause you a high amount of stress.

Alex, I also agree with you about what you learned in the article you read. I agree that you need to have realistic expectation with yourself and communicating with your parents about not being too pressured. I think a big thing is staying positive too. If you stay positive then you won’t get so down on yourself.

Alex I totally agree with you about how children get very stressed over school because of some of the teachers expectations. But if you treat this stress right it is easy to handle. Also teenagers can handle this stress by distracting yourself and taking a break from the thing that is stressing you out.

Alex, I totally agree with you. I easily get upset when I know I haven’t met the expectations set by myself, my teachers, or my parents. This effects how I perform on a lot of tasks, especially tests and quizzes. I think it is very easy to get overwhelmed with school, sports, community service, learning to drive, etc. and all of the expectations from all the different people involved. I hate to disappoint people and sometimes I have to realize I can’t do it all!

http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/pressure-to-perform-high-expectations-from-teens-wealthy-parents/. This article is about teens having high expectations from their wealthy parents. How it relates to class is that some students may have parents with more income than others that means that they are going to have more pressure to succeed so they can be like their parents. Research found in the Journal of Development and Psychopathology, found that teens and children whose parents have a combined income of $160,000 per year or more experience two times more depression and anxiety than the standard national rate. Professor Suniya Luthar of Arizona State University, spent the past decade researching the subject of financially privileged children. She said that “she has seen firsthand that financially privileged children are under huge amounts of pressure to succeed having so much pressure on them sometime can cause stress, eating and food issues, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, and other self-harming behaviors.” On top of high expectations in school and extracurricular activities. Researchers believe that the driving force behind all the stress is overbearing parents with unreasonable expectations.

Payton, I agree with what you said about teenagers trying to live up to their parents. I also think that this could be less about financial standings of the parents but it might apply more to the high expectations of parents and how their parents feel they should be. I know that parents expectations can cause more stress than the students expectations for themselves.

Payton I also agree with you about what you said about kids having pressure to be as successful as their parents. I also agree with you about the decisions students make if they don’t succeed so they take drugs or alcohol. I also agree with your research about how parents are the ones that push us to our limits.

Payton, I agree with you about parents having high expectations for their kids because it is that way in our house. Also having high expectations can lead to cause stress and low performance. I think that most parents just want their kids to make them look good and push the child to do things that they don’t enjoy.
Sariah
2/26/2016 06:57:00 pm
Payton, I agree with you that the more wealthy your parents are the more stressed you are because trying to live up to their parents titles. I personally know someone who was raised by wealthy parents and was so stressed that she had a hard time doing things because she was always trying to impress her parents. But some people with wealthy parents take the stress very well and this does not apply to them.
Miaya
2/23/2016 01:07:06 pm
http://www.nymetroparents.com/article/Teenage-OverloadAre-Kids-Being-Pushed-Too-Hard- this relates to school because with how much work teachers are giving students and it can soon become stressful and overwhelming. Also, it relates to class because all teachers want students to push themselves to get work done and keep grades up and certain teachers have different expectation for different students. How to help with not being so stressed during school or with school work is to try and do extra things to help and get more involved like doing community service, volunteer to do things at school. I agree to this because doing community service and volunteering does help not being so overwhelmed with school.
Nikki

Miaya, I agree with what you have wrote about your article. When teens are given too much work plus the expectations that are given with them, it can become very stressful. Doing extra things to not be so stressed can be good but if it does not go as planned then it can just put more stress on us.

Miaya, i dont agree with you because when students are getting stressed trying to get their work done, then adding comunity servise to that and getting incolved in activities in school. I think that its just making their schedule a lot more bigger. when they are already stressed with home work i dont think that they will relieve their stress with adding more to their schedule.
Payton
2/25/2016 12:55:57 pm
Miaya, I agree with what you put about your article I think that students so get stressed about homework and school work. How teachers push the students to finish their work and to keep their grade up. Trying to so extra things and getting involved with community service will help to keep your stress levels down.
Makayla
2/26/2016 12:00:12 pm
Miaya, I agree with your opinions about this article. I think that this is a common issue because most teachers plan one assignment after another. I think that with the state testing standards it doesn’t help because teachers have a huge amount of things to cover in a short school time so they push to get things done.
Tristen Mullins

I agree with you because with too much work in school we become overwhelmed and it’s too hard on today’s kids. Getting involved in the community would help because it would teach the kids to become more involved with society like in real life you need those communication skills and connections to help you through life.
Gustavo
2/23/2016 02:57:34 pm
http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/pressure-to-perform-high-expectations-from-teens-wealthy-parents/- This relates to school because there are parents that push their kids to do everything like getting A’s in all classes, being a good athlete, or playing an instrument. Schools and teachers are pushing some of the students to be the best and at home, they get more pushed by their parents and that’s why all kids get pressure from their school or at home. Young people who their parents earn a total of $160,000 per year or more, experience twice the rate of depression and anxiety than those that are from well families. They start having eating issues and they get stressed out about activities or things that they like to do. I noticed that exercise and creativity are great stress relievers and healthy emotional outlets and that young people struggle to maintain a sense of well being. People that have more money, have a lot of expectations of people then others and I know that they get more stress than anyone else because of their job, business, or their children. Some people think about suicide because of all the depression and expectations that people want them to have so they can be successful in their future lives and never have to worry about people pushing them around like if they were their servants.
lane
2/23/2016 08:36:38 pm
Gustavo, i completly agree with you. Kids that dont live with a high income start having eating habbets and get stressed out about alot of things. when you get stressed out then you start to get bad grades in school then slack off at home when parents ask you to do something. I like how you said that people think about suicide to solve all of this stress but it dont fix anything. suicide is one of those things we just learned in health. We are trying to get people to cut down on thinking about ending their life.
Alex
2/24/2016 05:12:57 pm
Gustavo, I really like the information you have found from reading the article that you found. Parents and teachers expectations can result in better behavior or a better performance from their students, children, or atheletes. As long as the teen obeys the rules. I also agree that people that make more money could have more expecations than those who don't because they could be higher in the job field.

Gustavo, I totally agree with you on everything in your statement about your article. I do agree that when students get pushed too far at home or at school it makes them very stressed. I also think that it doesn’t necessarily depend on the amount of money your family makes but it could just because of how much of everything you get such as clothes or school supplies. I do agree that people with more money do have higher expectations of people.

I really liked the idea about talking to another peer or someone you know about finding a strategy to deal with your expectations. This can be very helpful because that person may have great advice from a past experience or maybe because they are full of good ideas!
Payton
2/25/2016 12:47:56 pm
Nikki I agree on what you wrote your article about how teens have different expectations then teachers, and how if a test or large project how they can give themselves a negative impact. I think that talking about the situation with someone that is not in the situation and how it would help find strategist is to deal with the stress is a good idea.
Avery
2/25/2016 05:56:13 pm
Nikki, I agree with what you said about having high expectations for yourself as long as they don't have a negative impact and I think that is very important for many people to remember. Having too high of expectations can be stressful and challenges you but if you have enough expectations to where you push yourself more is healthier way to expect things from yourself.

Hazel, I totally agree with you. Today students are way too pressured and people try to make them into a person that they are not. Testing today is very stressful for the kids and if they don’t pass they can get down on themselves. Like you said if they get too down on themselves they can turn to drugs, alcohol, etc.

They know what we go through with school and still put even more stuff on us at home. I believe students aren’t being themselves and are trying to be someone who is more funny or cool.

http://parentingteens.about.com/od/agesandstages/a/responsibility.htm This article relates to the class, because as a high school student or as teens we should be responsible in everything we do, showing that everything we do is done by ourselves. There should be high expectations on are work and are emotional state. At home you can learn responsibility by doing chores your parents assign, and when you’re at school you have responsibility like getting your work done and completed. When you grow up in a class you can either have good habits or bad habits, when you get in the routine of having good habits then you’re more likely to have good responsibilities. With bad habits you have got in the routine of those bad habits, like not respecting others and acting out. With the people that have good habits they should be rewarded for it, from like saying great job and you deserved it! My comments on the article would be that I agree when they say that for the people who have good responsibilities they should be congratulated. I also agree when they explain that you should have “household chores such as washing dishes and or doing laundry.” To build better responsibilities in your life.

The article I read was from https://storify.com/poeskesl/higher-expectations-of-children-and-teens-causing and this article relates to class by everything we do we do everybody is always expecting something like better grades, get a job, and go to college. How this relates to us in class is that were on computers constantly doing something but the internet is like a friend were going to need it to look at assignments, to find a job opening, and apply for scholarships for college.
Hally
2/26/2016 06:13:01 pm
Karrie, I completely agree with you. When students do things on their own they learn and will have good habits. If we do things ourselves, it helps us prepare and get ready for life after high school so it isn’t so much pressure. I you have bad habits, I think it will be harder or more challenging to do everything you are required to do. Like you said, I think chores are a great way to further your responsibilities and make sure you are ready for life after High School.
Billy
2/26/2016 07:52:00 pm
I partially disagree with you because I think there are so many expectations for kids to do, that sometimes we need a break when we are not fully responsible. For example, when I forget my cleats at home my mom usually will run home to get them for me. She understands that this doesn’t happen more than every great once in a while and I have a lot of things to remember. Basically, she cuts me some slack because I am not a repeat offender. Kids are so extremely busy that sometimes it would be nice if teachers would give them a break also. I work very hard in school and occasionally I feel like there is very little reward because my report card doesn’t have straight A’s. I agree with the employability grade because that at least shows my effort in school.

Carmen, I agree with your article stating that most of the pressure from school is to get good grades. I believe that having good grades is the largest and affects you the most out of any others. State testing doesn’t help that any, because without passing that you can’t graduate, which just stresses kids out even more.

I also agree that starting sports at a very early age puts the body in extra stress because you are just trying to be good. Which leads to trying to relieve stress by turning to drugs or alcohol.

Also, expectations in Digitools are high but they are reachable if you try as hard as you can and turn everything in on time. It will make you a better person if you reach your expectations.
Kiley
2/26/2016 04:36:12 pm
Aiden, I agree with your statement on how you said “Teachers are more acknowledgeable of the students who get the higher grades, then the students who don’t necessarily get the highest test scores, but study the hardest, are not rewarded near as much as the students who get the highest scores.” I agree with that statement because that’s a true statement. I see kids all over our school who try their hardest and rarely get rewarded for anything they do. I think it needs to been seen in our school so I agree with you.

When Anxiety Hits at School
Brandyn
2/26/2016 12:57:12 pm
Deana I agree with you because so many teenagers have to juggle so many different things and after a while we need a break from doing stuff all the time and so we can have some relax time instead of going all the time and making us stressed about school work, sports, and parents always telling us that we need to do stuff when we are exhausted.
Karrie
2/26/2016 12:59:16 pm
I agree with you Deana when you say that there is an increasing amount of stressed kids, with having pressure and the social media plays a big impact on the society. Also it makes since why there is so much anxiety in teens and kids these days because, we have more expectations required now in the day.
Anna
2/26/2016 07:55:54 am
The article I read was from https://storify.com/poeskesl/higher-expectations-of-children-and-teens-causing and everything we do we always expecting something more out of children and teens. My opinion is don’t always expect something good. You might want to expect something is going to happen but don’t expect its going good. We are constantly being pushed for a career, job, assignments turned in, school, and sports. Parents usually want us to get a job by 16 and it causes tons of stress and have to take care of bills and it’s just stressful. How do I know it’s stressful because I see my parents stress about bills every week. It’s very difficult to go to school early and stay after school to get work done and that usually easily 8hrs of school and then after that our parents want us to go to work and make money. We are probably working at least 1 hour. Then when we come home were going to have to do chores and all that other not so good stuff. Where is my opinion in this is, I think some people need to have less expectations for us kids.
Tristen Mullins
2/26/2016 12:09:22 pm
I totally agree, a teen’s life is not all schooling. Most kids in this school are farm kids. We live in a farming community. For instance when I get home it’s not like I get to sit down. Most of the time I get home and have to go straight to work. When the cows get out down below town I go down and help my older brother get them in because we are the only two hired men, although technically I don’t get paid. By the time I get home I hardly have enough time to shower.
Vegas
2/26/2016 05:28:02 pm
Anna, I agree. We hardly get any downtime between school, assignments, homework, sports, grades, etc. Also not to mention trying to balance all of that on top of a job. The sleep that a teen needs is about 9.25 hours a night so expecting us do all these things, correctly, on time, efficiently, and on the sleep that we need for our brains to develop, is next to impossible.

2/26/2016 12:00:47 pm
The site that I used was http://plymouth.wickedlocal.com/article/20140808/NEWS/140808700. I agree with the article that school is a lot harder than it was in the past. I know that when my parents were in high school they remember it being fun and learning the basic things that they would need to know in order to get a job. Now you need a college diploma just to get a job at McDonald’s. It’s ridiculous how much we need to know just to graduate. I believe that the requirements are way too high in schools. It used to be that your employer would teach you what you needed to know for that job. My Moms first employer in the medical field taught her how to draw blood and take basic vitals for patients and she was only a secretary at the front desk. She only had a high school diploma but it didn’t matter because that doctor could teach her what he needed her to know. Now you have to take a six month class just to draw blood, and another six just to take vitals. Most of the people in the medical field at my mother’s last job had been to college and gotten a degree while my mother had not, however they would have to frequently come to my mother about things that they did not know. Colleges seem to not even teach what we need to know for the job because if they did we wouldn’t have to learn once we got that job. In high school we are required to learn math that we will never need to know. I believe that we should just need to know the basic multiplication, division and some other basic equations to make life easier. There’s too much unneeded stress on today’s teens.
Brandyn
2/26/2016 12:52:38 pm
Tristen I agree with you because it is completely ridiculous that we need to have a diploma to get a job at McDonalds that says something about how much we teenagers have to go through to just get a job at McDonalds. I also agree with you on that we have way to high of requirements in high school and it makes it hard on some of us teens.
Karrie
2/26/2016 01:11:26 pm
I agree when you said that the students are required to work harder than the past, in the past you were required to still go to college, for your career, but as the economy changes and more jobs growth increase and Obama wants every student to graduate from high school then go forward in to college to get in a career or job that can benefit in good ways after college, to having a house, being able to pay things on time, which helps you for the rest of your life.

Sydney, I agree with your article and your opinion because it is true that high expectations can lead to depression. In my opinion if a teen is under a lot of pressure from both their family and their teachers that is not ok unless it is reasonable like if the teen isn’t getting their assignments in on time for no good reason then that is when parents should start putting pressure on the teen.
Deana
2/26/2016 08:39:12 pm
Sydney, I agree with you on making sure expectations are realistic and reachable. My article talked about juggling school, family, sports and other things in life and said we get stressed more these days because of all the things we have going on. I think the article you read kinda touches on that too. Its important to have reachable expectations because if we have too high of expectation then this is where we may begin to get stressed and have other problems.

My article is http://plymouth.wickedlocal.com/article/20140808/NEWS/140808700/12425/NEWS and it relates to our class because more and more teens are feeling pressured and isolated due to the raised expectations such as the state tests and things that we must take. Most people in our class are trying to juggle getting good grades, sports, homework, social media, etc. Teens are left with little to no down time, causing anxiety and/or depression from all the pressure that they are under. I agree with the article saying that school 20-30 years ago wasn't as hard considering my parents haven't even been able to help me since my late 7th early 8th grade math, proving that we are being taught much more then they were. I was surprised to learn that when the parents force their teen to get straight A's that the teenagers are more likely to fall into depression because my parents do force me to get straight A's and I never thought that could hurt my mental heath. Now I know to be more cautious and aware of that. I agree with the article when it talks about how the crime rate increasing, that it is more difficult for the teens to be outside without supervision causing them to not get enough Vitamin D. Although that isn't much of a problem here, it is definitely something that we need to be aware of for the future.
Tiffany
2/26/2016 10:46:26 pm
Vegas, I agree with your article about it saying that the raised expectation makes the teens feel more pressured. Teens start getting depressed because they may not be able to exceed the expectations that were set by their peers, family, themselves, or society. I think that there should be a certain limit to that. I do believe that they should have a little bit of high expectation so that teen will try to meet that but I think too much is just too much pressure on the teen and they cant handle it.

It also talks about how school used to be fun 30 years ago but now it’s not due to state tests and other requirements. I agree with this article because I get stressed over homework a lot and I don’t get as much free time like I used to. I think that there shouldn’t be so many requirements because it can put a lot of pressure on students like it did to that teen that was suffering anxiety which then lead to a suicide attempt. I think that if teens weren’t under too much pressure the suicide attempt rate would go down.

Hally, I totally agree with your statement that said “To go to Elementary School, to Middle School and onto High School Classes are a lot harder than they were when our parents were in school because of all the new technology.” I agree with your statement because the state is practically forcing us to use all this new technology that’s being invented. It’s hard because if we ask our parents they wont know what to do because they grew up in a totally different generation and they didn’t get taught what we do these days.

I think this article relates to our class because it says in the article that expectations and pressure can be positive, helping you to challenge or motivate yourself to do your best. So when Mrs. Miller assigns the Career Power Point and you think the due date is ridiculous just think that she is challenging you or motivating you. I think this article was really good for this DQ because it gives you ideas for managing your expectations and pressure. This article says “ Why place expectations on yourself?” and I agree with what they said about it the said that meeting high expectations is the only way to get the approval of others, Achievement is the only way to be happy, and Having high expectations of yourself pushes you to strive for, and achieve, bigger and better things. I think that after reading this article I have realized that maybe my expectations and my teacher’s expectations are just a bit different sometimes I feel like I am not pushing myself hard enough in Digitools, math, English, and science. But I do think that teachers push me harder than I push myself for sure but maybe that is because of my dad.

Cali, I agree with you about changing our expectations of ourselves to be higher. I think teachers and parents always have high expectations of us but sometimes with everything we have to do we don't expect much from ourselves because we have a lot going on and we are just satisfied with doing what we can to get by. it is probably a good thing that we have people pushing and motivating us at things that we wouldn't really push ourselves at.

Discipline carries over to the classroom because sports teaches kids to have trying their best on everything because they were taught that in sports by their parents or their coach. It also can teach the kid to stay in task and get it done and get the best grade they can on the assignments. It also teach the kid to have a hard work ethic in everything they are doing in their lives at home and or at school because of the discipline. Also they can get awarded for doing their work hard and getting it one time and getting a good grade. It is good in life because with discipline and living your dream you can get your dream job and get paid a lot. Michael Jordan he got cut off his basketball team and he had discipline and look at him now 6 NBA finals later and is the best player of time and change they game and one of the best athletes of all time. Also look at LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and more they is just a few who had a hard work ethic and great Discipline.

Wyatt I agree on having high expectations on your kid can relate to stress or maybe in some cases even hurting yourself. You can push a child to out there comfort levels to were they just don't care anymore and to where they just want to be done so they start hurting themselves for there outcome of the situation.

Rylan, I agree with your article about how you should push your child but don't push them too hard. When you push your child too hard, its just too much stress and makes them really nervous and its hard for them to handle it. When you challenge them a little bit it will make them want to exceed that challenge.

Rylan I also agree with you on parents should push there child but not to hard. Because when you push a kid to hard they get very stressed then everything starts to get harder on there daily activity. But I also agree on a parent should push there child hardly if there slacking in school or other school activities.

This article relates to class because a student might be peer pressured to do something a certain way or act a certain way during class. It isn't always your peers. Sometimes it can even be your teachers. Teachers may expect you to get a certain grade on a assignment or quiz or test and that can just stress the teen out even more than they already may be. They also may expect them to help everyone out with everything. Coaches also have high expectations of teens. They may expect them to make that goal or a shot or a free throw. This puts the teen under a lot of pressure and it can be hard. Although, sometime expectations from others are good because they may even challenge you to meet what they expect of you and make you even better. Another way this relates to class is because even you yourself may expect a lot. I think sometimes high expectations are good but sometimes, not so much. It can be really hard on yourself and put too much weight on your shoulders and get too nervous. Some people place high expectations on themselves because it can make you even better and they may think this is the only way to get others to like you. They may think that if they get an A on a quiz, that others might like than more. I place high expectations on myself all the time. I do this for my classes. I don't always go through with it though. I also do this for track and cross-country to make me a better runner. This article relates to class because in the article there is pressure to achieve certain things, and in our case it means turning in all our assignments on time and getting them done effectively. Sometimes that can be hard to do and the expectations for some people rise too high. They will get stressed out and their grades can drop even lower than they would if they were not stressed about it. At that point, the class expectations are too high. The article explains that you can set expectations for yourself just as well as others can set expectations for you. But not all of the expectations have to be negative, they can also have a positive impact on a student in class. When a teacher expects you to get things done in a reasonable amount of time you should be spending time outside of class as well so you can work on more than one thing in a given period of time. I agree with this article and admit that I set most the expectations for myself that I feel are too high and very few of the high expectations are set by my teachers. Parents are also the other thing that can expect too much of their children whether it is to follow in their footsteps or be something much better than they became. People also expect different things from others based on the way they act and behave.

This year’s Career Day was very interesting however I think there could be some things that could change. Like maybe taking votes from the student’s on what kind on a career they would want to see. I think if we could make this happen you will have a lot more happy faces on the students when they walk out the door. One of the things I did like about this Career Day is the number of careers to pick from. I felt like I had a variety to pick from but a lot of the careers where not from me that is why I think we should vote on who as in the students would want to see in the Career Day. The 3 careers that I chose for Career Day where Wild Land Fire Fighter, school Resource Officer, and A Truck Driver. The first 2 where great But the Truck Driver career kind of bored me and that’s okay because it told me that I would never want to be a Truck Driver in my life. The first 2 career involved a lot of action and that is why I think I was so entertained with them because I would love action and adventure in my career later on in life. Comments are closed.
