The Transition from Junior High to High School

by Dr. Mike Email

For many students the transition from junior high to high school is not a happy one. Once the initial newness wears off, the reality of new teachers and teaching styles, more homework and pressure from the grade 11 and 12 students takes its toll on the grade 10 students.

Grades start to fall, classes are missed on a regular basis, depression sets in, headaches start, body aches are common, and drug use, to forget, begins.

How can this be turned around?
