Essay1607 Words   |  7 PagesIntro: Because education plays an important role in one’s development, I believe it necessary to critically analyze its role on negative teenage mentality. Despite education’s increased popularity in America and its evolution into a common, beneficial threshold of success and opportunity, the view of teenagers towards school still remains overall pessimistic, perhaps more now than ever before (Kohn).
