Expectation: a belief that someone will or should achieve something.

Back for the new year... it's 2020! This week our hosts Lauren and Rhys have a conversation with Lara and Melody about the pressure of the future teens feel at each present moment. The four 8th graders discuss high school classes, stress management, today's generation vs. their parents, and managing future expectations.
