it's about time we get some low-achievers

i've been constantly reading and watching how some teens have been bred to be overachievers. they're so overscheduled and busy all the time. i was just watching "the paper" on mtv and was a bit perplexed. the show is about a high school that has an award winning newspaper and the teens were competing to become the "editor in chief" of the paper. the competitiveness and bitchiness that these teens went through because they all felt they were such hot stuff and deserving of the title was unbelievable. sometimes i feel like americans don't know how to relax and just enjoy life a little. i mean, the same way that it can be great to be an overachiever sometimes, it's also ok to be a low-achiever here in there, right? some teens need to feel like it's ok to chill out a little, take a break and do nothing for a little bit.
