Haven’t you had enough of school? We work all day long, trying to cram more and more information into our tired, teenage brains, only to be given endless piles of homework to do in our precious little free time as well.
Paragraph 2

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
Personally, the whole homework system has decimated my relationships with my family; if I’m not doing homework, I’m being nagged to do it. As a result, I get annoyed with my own parents purely because I’m so exhausted that my brain doesn’t seem to work anymore. Homework causes physical, emotional and mental health problems.
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
Research shows that 5 out of 6 teens suffers from anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Such issues are often caused by the stresses of everyday life – homework amplifies these problems.
