Coping Skills Activities for Children
A student's ability to cope with difficult situations will greatly affect their social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. Children who learn healthy coping skills are better equipped to deal with complex emotions and have less disruptive behaviors in the classroom which is good for both that child and the classroom as a whole. These activities are a great way to introduce students to strategies that can help them regulate and calm down during stressful or anxious moments in their day.

Part Time Job VS School Work
Okay, so this is my first article and the title isn't perfect, but it is pretty explanatory of my story. So how do you balance your clearly important schoolwork with a part time job and do you even need that saturday job to begin with? My parents take each side of the argument, one says I spend too much time (around 12 hours a week) at work and I don't need a job at all and that I should be spending my time revising. The other says having a job is good for me as a maturing person and I need my job to help prepare me for the world. I like pretty much all teens, I have a job purely for the money, yes I need to study to go to university etc... but I have no hope of affording uni without a job.

I Wish I Learned That in High School!
The idea of going to school can sometimes feel tiring and quite mind-boggling. If education is one of "the best investments in the world," why do so many of us hate going to school? When we are tired, we prefer to stay away from school (if we could of course. But many of our parents would not allow us to do so). Even when we are not tired, we still prefer to not wake up early for school.

How to Not Fret About College Debt
Ahhh, the fresh air of freedom... You step onto college ground for the first day, living away from home, and independence fills your body! Suddenly you halt in your tracks and realize that first step is costing you about $14,000 (assuming the average amount per semester at most universities). You can't afford that; no one can afford that! You think about all the things you could be spending $14,000 on every seven to eight months... A brand new car every 8 months? A large house payment? Just about anything other than suffering in a classroom!
