drawing the line



Pressure negatively
Affecting lives, so
Extreme.
Losing sleep.

Extreme measures for 
Expecting parents.
Pressured to look
A certain way,
Pressured to get
Good grades, or else
A look of disappointment.

Cheating scandals,
Extreme things,
Usually unacceptable.
We're pushed to
Our mental limits.

Cheating is
Commonplace,
We're disengaged,
Depression is rampant;
Unprepared and uninspired,
We sleep less and less.
So stressful.

Where do we
Draw the line?
