  1. high class.
  2. Have you ever stared blankly at your home with the
  3. sentence and then and thought to yourself, how in the
  4. world am I going to finish all of this home
  5. working time?
  6. If you have, then you're a little bit like me.
  7. You can understand how stressful and overwhelming having homework can
  8. be ever since elementary school.
  9. I remember being overwhelmed and stressed out with all the
  10. homework my teachers assigned me at night.
  11. This being said I was extremely stressed and overwhelmed all
  12. the time.
  13. Homework doesn't only lead to stress, but it can also
  14. lead to reductions in your health and less time for
  15. outside activities.
  16. Having so much homework every night can be a very
  17. stressful thing.
  18. School is important part of growing up and making sure
  19. your grades are good and you're passing all of your
  20. classes is important.
  21. This being said, having so much stress on you can
  22. lead to depression and anxiety, stress, depression and anxiety all
  23. affect your mental health badly.
  24. If you're stressed, depressed or anxious, you are less likely
  25. to complete any work and you're more likely to failure
  26. classes than to pass them privately.
  27. Excessive homework can also lead to reductions in your health
  28. on top of depression and anxiety.
  29. Students who are more overwhelmed with homework suffer from sleep
  30. deprivation, headaches and weight loss, since students are generally drowning
  31. in homework to result in a spank up all night,
  32. trying to cram and finish all of our assignments.
  33. Having sleep deprivation, results in funny headaches and can also
  34. result in more stress because you're more tired and you're
  35. less likely to complete all of your work because you're
  36. sleeping during the classes.
  37. It can also lead to headaches and weight loss because
  38. of the excessive amount of time you're putting into junior
  39. assignments. Having homework does not only affect the health aspects,
  40. but it also affects your social life.
  41. And you're outside activities as well.
  42. Having too much homework can limit the amount of free
  43. time you have and as education is a very important
  44. aspect of life, having free time and downtime to relax
  45. or partake in sports or social like clubs are also
  46. very important aspects of lifestyle.
  47. Education is in the center of your life and it
  48. shouldn't be, but having overwhelming amounts of one more, it
  49. made me feel like that having less homework every night
  50. would benefit students greatly because we would have more free
  51. time for taking activities would be healthier and we would
  52. be less stress.
  53. All of these things can be avoided by simply having
  54. less or no homework every night.
  55. You may be thinking, well how can we solve this
  56. problem? Since we are just students?
  57. Well, here are a few things that we can do
  58. in order to try and fix the issue at hand.
  59. We can voice our experiences to parents or teachers.
  60. We can talk to administration in your school building or
  61. we can sign this petition Two for the Board of
  62. Education to try and reduce homework.
  63. This petition is on is on is on change dot
  64. org and you can sign it and will be sent
  65. to the Board of Education to try and get them
  66. to have more regulations on homework assignments and limit the
  67. amount of homework teachers are able to give students every
  68. night. Education is not the center of our lives, which
  69. is why having less homework can help us briefly.
  70. Thank you.
