For most people, life is never easy. That's especially true
for high school students.
Not only do you have the stress and worry of schoolwork
to deal with, you also have many problems of daily life to face.
Take the relationship you have with your parents for example.
课时作业(一)

When you were at primary school, your parents were probably your heroes. Whatever they did and whatever they said were always so interesting and funny, but as you grew older it's likely that you and your parents began to grow apart from each other. Their jokes began to sound awkward, and the last thing you'd want to do is to walk in the park holding hands with them. This is just one of the natural parts of growing older.
Life has many difficult stages, but the teenage years are probably the ones that are filled with the most problems. As this is the time of life when we begin to turn into adults, lots of new issues arise.

Now you can't just rely on your parents to do everything for you—you must be responsible for yourself and your own actions. At the same time, as your body begins to develop, problems arise that you never knew existed. Things like being worried about how you look in front of others soon become daily concerns.
While all this is happening, you have to plan for your future. As you come to the end of your school years, you have to make some really big decisions.
