Why do parents always assume that school's the only stress in a child's life?

Ok I am in matric and I do agree that studying is important and all but my mom is driving me nuts. It's all she ever talks about. And when I try to explain to her that school work is not the only stress in my life she asks what other stress there is. But I can't tell her.

My friend is pregnant and I'm helping her through that. I might be pregnant. And I'm still trying to juggle school with all of this.

Help.

Here's the problem, communication with your mother!! You'd be surprised how much your mother probably would understand if you just took the time to share your feelings, and problems with her!!! Being possibly pregnant is a big thing, why weren't you using protection???? For a obviously smart girl to have unprotected sex, there is no excuse for that!!! Trust me when I tell you that everything you are doing will be put on hold, mayby even never happen if you have a baby at this point!! Sure you could go back in the future and finish, MAYBY, but for now life stops, because you have to make baby number one!! Please tell your mom, she can be your biggest support, yeah mayby she'll be mad at first, but thats only because she wants whats best for you, and having a baby right now is not it!! As far as your friend goes, it's nice to be there for her, but you need to worry about yourself, keep your boundries!! Call your mom! God Bless and Good Luck!

parents usually have more serious problems and cant relate anymore, but then again if your pregnant that will be a serious problem for your mom in 9 months
In today's day and age, children are far more sophisticated than ever. There is way more stress and it will get worse. If you think you are pregnant go to a family planning clinic as soon as possible. Educate yourself about safe sex and STDs since you are sexually active. Don't stress out. When you know what your status is then deal with the next step. Remember, don't get overwhelmed and deal with one thing at a time. If you are pregnant talk to your mother. Seek guidance from a counselor at the clinic. good luck.
more of less i think they just don remember their youth cuz they are stuck in their little universe and don't think about whats really go on around them. rather they think about them selves and they stress and drink them selves into an ealry grave. theres not much to do to make them understand then get them to go to a therapist with you. it not the most rational thing to do but it works.

the whole thing with your friend being prego is be supportive and help her juggle her life. for you. you should go to a clinic and find out for your slef. this is a life changing thing. the child will either make you the person you wanna be or break you and then make you live hell as you have to force you self to find your self. hehhe now i'm 21 and i have two lil hell raisers its fun.
you should talk to her before she know it from other people.....just tell her the you made a mistake and your sorry....tell her also what happen to you on the couple days on your life....just explain everything to her and its possible she'll be mad at you and reprimand you...just listen to her even though you dont want to....its normal that she'll be angry with you but sooner on later she'll think that you are her daughter and you need her help....and hope she'll be okey with it......its not easy to do thisv but its the right thing to do.......just be strong .....challenges is part of life....good luck girl
School should be the ONLY stress in a child's life, education is the most important part of growing up, you may not see it now but in later life when you are the employee instead of the employer you will bitterly regret it. You may think your mother is driving you nuts but believe me she has only your best interests at heart. You may think it to be 'cool' and emulate your friends but secretly they are sniggering behind your back at your stupidity. Being at school and being pregnant is a disaster and you need help quickly, speak to your mother you may find her to be more sympathetic than you think
Talk to you mom about this.
First of all, you need to get a pregnancy test. If you ARE pregnant, you'll have to learn how to deal with that as soon as possible. If you're not, that's one stress gone.

You sound like a good friend - is your mother aware that she is pregnant? If she is, you can explain that to her and she may be slightly more sympathetic. Also, explain some of this to her - if she thinks that the only stress in a teen's life is school, she is crazy. Tell her about self-esteem, body image, friends, etc. Good luck!
The only way your mother will know about any other issues in your life is you open up your mouth and say something!!!!!!!

The over all plan is; when a child is in school - there should be no stress. You're to enjoy your childhood, however, if you go off and do something really stupid (possibly getting pregnant) then you've created the stress yourself.

You're supposed to live a stress free life until you become an adult - then you have adult responsibilities.

Enjoy your childhood, listen to your mother and talk with her more.................
first of all you need to breath once in a while. trust me the oxygen flow helps. now, if you are pregnant and you already have a friend that is you can help each other to take some stress off. keep each other calm. then tell your mom about your friend. if you are pregnant you need to tell your mom about that too as soon as you know FOR SURE. if you dont want extra stress from being in a crap load of trouble dont say anything about you until you are sure you're pregnant. if you cant talk to your mom about it don't. just let her believe that she knows everything. talk to your friends as much as you can and be a teenager. get out and have some fun that will take your mind off of everything else (i wouldn't suggest anything that has to do with sex though) good luck!

- and remember to BREATH!!!
