Introduction
Education makes a man perfect. Everyone has to pass through three stages of education. These are – primary education, secondary education and higher education. In primary education children start to learn the basic knowledge. After that they come to the stage of secondary education. High school is the destination where students have to come to take secondary education. In this stage students are not children. This stage of education has a great effect on everyone’s life.
Teens that are going through high school are also going through one the most important times of their development. For many, this moment in life is a time in which a cross-road is approaching; determining the path that they will take after high school graduation. In addition to maintaining grades, there are barrages of different elements that burden teens during this time that can make their lives among the most stressful.
Education at secondary school or teen level is supposed to be the foundation towards higher knowledge in college. It is an investment as well as an instrument that can be used to achieve a more rapid economic, social, political, technological, scientific and cultural development in the country. The National Policy on Education (2004) stipulated that secondary education is an instrument for national development that fosters the worth and development of the individual for further education and development, general development of the society and equality of educational opportunities
