What Can We Do About School Problems?
1 School life is an important period in our lives. Many pupils say that school is their second home. However, everybody understands that schoolchildren have problems.
2 To begin with, it’s the problem of homework. Pupils should do a lot preparing for their classes. They don’t often have enough time to do it during the day, so they work at night and don’t get enough sleep. I think they should be more organised, have regular breaks and take care of themselves.
3 Secondly, exams can be a problem. They can sometimes get out of control and make schoolchildren unwell.
4 Another stressful thing is marks pupils get. Schoolchildren have different interests and abilities. Some of them are good at sciences, others like arts. It’s very difficult to get only excellent marks in all the subjects. Consequently, pupils should concentrate better when studying.
5 School uniform can be a problem too. Without a doubt, there are some advantages in wearing uniforms, but pupils don’t like the idea, especially in senior classes.
6 All in all, I think there are a lot of problems at school, and we should try to reduce stress to get more success at school.
What Can You Do About Exam Stress?
1 Exam stress is normal, but it can sometimes get out of control and make you unwell. What can you do, then, to reduce stress and study for success?
2 To begin with, it’s important to make a study timetable and stick to it. As a result, you will feel more organised and confident that you have time to prepare well for you exams.
3 Secondly, you should take good care of yourself by eating healthy, getting enough sleep and taking regular breaks to do something fun. Consequently, you body and mind will stay healthy and you will be able to concentrate better when studying.
4 Another helpful suggestion is to study with a friend. Some people might find this useful as they can discuss any problems that come up. All in all, I think exam stress can be a major problem.
5 However, if you are organised and healthy and get help from others, exam stress will never be a problem for you again.

How to Resist Peer Pressure
Peer pressure can be difficult to deal with, especially for young people who want to fit in. However, there are several ways to resist it and stay true to yourself.
First of all, you should trust your own feelings and know your personal limits. As a result, you will feel more confident in your actions and be less likely to do something you do not want to do.
Another helpful solution is to choose your friends carefully. If your friends share your beliefs, you will reduce the amount of peer pressure you may experience.
Finally, it is a good idea to talk it through with someone you trust, such as a friend, teacher or parent. They might be able to give you helpful advice, as they probably have experience with peer pressure too.
To sum up, peer pressure is a common problem, but if you believe in yourself, choose the right friends and ask for support, you can deal with it successfully.
