    Students experience a lot of changes in themselves and their behaviors between elementary school and high school. Adolescents are expected to take on a lot of responsibilities that they have not previously been accustomed to. The attitudes of students adjust to their new standards accordingly. Students end old relationships and start new ones. Social, educational, and physical changes can put a lot of stress on middle and high school students, which is why these years are usually regarded as the worst for students. It is not uncommon for students to lack the motivation that is necessary in order to succeed in school. Students spend the majority of their lives in school, so if they do not have the desire to succeed, then they are putting their futures in jeopardy. During these years, students begin to shape their new identities, which will continue to form as they become adults. It is normal for adolescents to experience confusion and rebel against the norms of society, which is something that middle school and high school teachers should expect. This is a crucial transitional period during which teachers must step in and try to motivate students to do well. It is important to form an environment in which learning is encouraged and pressure is minimized.
