Things change. At some of the older high schools where I used to teach had a smoking area for teachers and students that were 18.

Kids start worrying about college in junior high now. Actually, it's the parents. It can get very unhealthy as well.

My kid takes Pre-AP/AP in everything but her math and she's still ahead of most kids. We don't push her to do that and we tell her not to play the GPA game. Go to school, work hard, take the classes you are interested in and the rest will take care of itself. We're not dropping her sport so that she can fit in another 5.0 class.

Same with my kid, but we also remind her she's never gonna outwork the Indians and Asians anyways so there's no point in killing yourself with work.
