The teenage years are arguably some of the hardest years to overcome for today’s youth. Between physiological changes and the developmental need to exert independence, it may seem like teens do not need much guidance from their parents, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The thought of college can cause a lot of anxiety for both parents and students. Most people think students have plenty of time to prepare for college and then the time arrives!
It’s a good idea for students to start planning for college before their senior year. Ideally, students should begin their preparations by the midpoint of their junior year. Not only will this give the student an advantage, but it might even lower the inevitable stress level that is in the air during everyone’s senior year.
