Make academic grades less of a priority to become a successful citezen. There should be more to life than grades.

There are many students all over the United States that struggle with their academic grades. It causes stress in the homes of families everywhere, whether their child will receive a Presidental Honor Roll this year or barely manage to pass. Teenagers especially have a rough time, stressing over getting into the perfect University so they don't end up on the streets. Many people don't go to college and still live amazing, worthwhile lives but the youth of today does not see it that way. The system makes them believe that if they can't pass trigonometry, then they can't work with young children or be successful in their own business. Some students can't handle the pressure and end their own lives before they begin. Grades are not everything, what students can do should be more important.
