A Lot of Pressure in the Modern World

Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I

want to tell you about all the pressure that people seem to be

dealing with these days. It's something I've noticed a lot, even

though I'm just a kid.

First, let me tell you about the adults I know - like my parents

and their friends, my teachers, coaches, etc. They always seem

really stressed out and busy. My mom and dad both work long

hours at their jobs in an office. They leave the house early in the

morning before I wake up, and don't get home until after dinner

time. When they finally walk through the door, they look

exhausted.

My dad especially seems frazzled a lot of the time. He's

always checking his phone for emails from his boss, even at night

and on weekends. I've overheard him talking about deadlines,

sales quotas, budget cuts and things like that. It sounds really

stressful. My mom has it rough too - her boss is apparently really demanding and critical of her work. She's told me she lies awake

at night worried she'll get fired.

On top of their tough jobs, my parents also have a ton of

other responsibilities that stress them out. They have to keep the

house clean, pay the bills, make sure me and my little brother eat

healthy food and get to all our activities on time, and a million

other things. No wonder they're so tired and cranky a lot! I try

not to add to their burden.

My teachers at school also seem completely swamped and

under a lot of pressure. They have to make lesson plans, grade

tons of papers and projects, attend lots of meetings, and control

loud classrooms full of rambunctious kids. I know I wouldn't

want to be a teacher - they get really frazzled trying to make sure

we all behave and learn what we need to. Some of my teachers

have gotten really short-tempered and yelled at students when

the pressure gets too much for them.

And that's just the grown-ups in my life! Us kids face a lot of

pressure and stress these days too. My daily schedule is packed

from dawn until bedtime. I have to wake up crazy early to get

ready for school, where I spend most of the day sitting through

classes. After school, I usually have a few hours of homework to

do. Then it's off to soccer practice or dance lessons a few nights a week. By the time I get home, there's just enough time for a

quick dinner before I have to get ready for bed.

On the weekends, it's more of the same - running around

between games, performances, birthday parties, and playdates. I

hardly have any free time to just hang out and relax! I'm

constantly rushed from one activity to the next. Sometimes when

I think about everything I have to do, I get overwhelmed. I'm

honestly not sure how I'd handle it if I had even more

responsibilities piled on.

Speaking of responsibilities, I see a lot of kids my age who

have wayyyy too much on their plate. Some are expected to take

care of younger siblings after school while both their parents

work. Others have to do a ton of chores like cleaning, laundry,

and yard work when they get home. And that's on top of all their

schoolwork, sports, and clubs! No wonder they always seem

cranky and tired. I'd be miserable if I had that much to do at my

age.

Not only are grown-ups and kids today overworked and

overscheduled, there's also a lot of pressure in other areas too.

Like with technology and social media. My parents are constantly

complaining about having to respond to work emails at all hours.

They're seems chained to their smartphones and laptops. If my mom goes too long without checking her devices, she starts

freaking out that she's missing something important.

Then there's the added pressure of social media. I'm

honestly kind of glad I'm not old enough to be on apps like

Instagram and TikTok yet. From what I've seen, it seems like such

a headache! People are always obsessing over post likes and

comments, comparing themselves to others, and stressing about

their online image. It looks positively exhausting to me.

So those are some of the major sources of pressure and

stress I see all around me in today's world. Demanding jobs,

jam-packed schedules, tons of responsibilities, and the strain of

technology and social media. It makes me worried about what

adulthood has in store for me! How do grown-ups deal with all

that pressure without completely losing it?

I guess they don't always deal with it well, which is why so

many seem perpetually anxious and on-edge. That's no way to

live! If I were them, I'd make more of an effort to scale back, slow

down, and find pockets of peace and tranquility. Life's too short

to be miserable and overwhelmed all the time.

When I get older, I'm going to try really hard to not take on

more than I can handle. I'll be selective about my job and not kill
