In this throwback episode, we talk about our experiences of academic pressure and academic validation and how it makes us feel.

Beautiful Souls,Thank you for taking this break from your studies to center yourself. Remember that moments of rest and mental clarity are just as important as study time. Let me know in the comments how I can better support your academic journey. With calming wisdom, Michelle.

This week Dr. Nathan Kalman-Lamb and Dr. Derek Silva drop in to talk about 1993's The Program, starring James Caan, Omar Epps, and Halle Berry. This movie was way ahead of its time in its discussions of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), concussions, and race and sexual dynamics on campus. We talk about all of this and the cost to college athletes to play the game. About our guests:Nathan Kalman-Lamb's  scholarly work sits at the intersection of social theory and the sociology of sport, with a particular focus on labor, racism, and exploitation. His most recent book Game Misconduct: Injury, Fandom, and the Business of Sport, based on qualitative interviews with former professional hockey players and fans of the sport, uses Marxist-Feminist social reproduction theory to explore how the political economy of sports like hockey is predicated on an affective transfer from athletic workers to fans through the physical sacrifice that is fundamental to these 'games.'Derek Silva's areas of interest include sociocultural studies of sport, critical sociology and criminology, labour, racism, and inequality. My work can be found in the peer-reviewed journals Critical Sociology, Punishment and Society, Crime, Media, Culture, Sociology of Sport Journal, Journal of Sport & Social Issues, Policing & Society, Annals of Leisure Research, Social Science & Medicine – Qualitative Research in Health, Sociological Forum, Race & Class, Educational Gerontology, and in media outlets such as TIME Magazine, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, The Chronicle of Higher Education, ​Jacobin Magazine, and The Baffler Magazine. 

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...   - Even if we aren't adding more pressure to our kids, the world often pushes external achievements on them - how can parents push back against this.   - Why trying to problem solve with your child may seem like it's supporting them, but is actually perpetuating their anxiety.   - The one pillar you can use as a parent to guide all your interactions with your child that can help to defuse the pressure they feel, rather than inadvertently adding to it.   - Saying grades don't matter is like saying, “throw your sense of control out the window.” What to say instead.   - Our society glorifies perfectionism, but in reality kids who engage in highly perfectionist tendencies tend to have higher anxiety and internalize their stress, which can lead to missed signs that they need support.   - We describe a helpful thought exercise you can try with your child today.     WANT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT?

The episode delves into the pressures, stigmas, and barriers that prevent trainees from seeking help, combining expert insights with personal narratives. We also hear from Jack's partner and parents, who stress the need for systemic change and de-stigmatization of mental health struggles in medical education.    Description of Series  DWDI Special Series: Suicidality in Medical Training dives into the critical conversations around mental health, well-being, support systems, and the intense pressures faced during medical training. Through the power of storytelling, the series intertwines these broader themes with the deeply personal story of Dr. Jack Ruddell, a promising medical student who tragically died by suicide. Jack's journey—his strengths, struggles, and the complexities leading to his untimely death—forms the emotional core of this five-part series, giving voice to the loved ones often excluded from these conversations. Alongside Jack's story, the series incorporates expert insights and data from the literature, offering a human perspective on burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees. With a commitment to improving mental health awareness and reducing the stigma around seeking help, the series presents a novel approach by centering personal narratives alongside expert analysis. It also explores actionable strategies for improving medical training environments and highlights the importance of institutional responses after a loss by suicide. Our mission is to reduce shame, encourage help-seeking among medical students struggling with depression, and ensure that every medical school is aware of the postvention resources offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Over the course of our years studying youth culture here at CPYU, there are a host of films that have offered us helpful peeks into the adolescent experience. One of the most provocative of those films is 1985's The Breakfast Club. As the fortieth anniversary of the film is coming up, it's amazing how well the film still captures the realities of teenage life. Today, I chat with a couple of youth workers about how The Breakfast Club is still very moving, and in many ways timeless, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

About the lecture: Most cases of mental disorders worldwide start in adolescence, and rates of mental health problems are rising among adolescents. The important question is: What can we do to prevent the onset of mental health problems in adolescence? In this talk, Dr Marie Mueller will explore a promising but understudied factor for prevention: academic pressure. Adolescents cite academic pressure as one of the main factors influencing their mental health, but the evidence for this is limited. Can we reduce academic pressure in adolescents, and could this, in turn, reduce mental health problems? In this talk, Marie Mueller will define the construct of academic pressure, summarise the existing evidence for an association with mental health, and discuss open questions and challenges. About the Speaker Marie Mueller, Research Fellow in Psychiatric Epidemiology at UCL Dr Marie Mueller is a Research Fellow in Psychiatric Epidemiology at the Division of Psychiatry at UCL. She has a background in psychology (BSc) and cognitive neuroscience (MRes). In 2023, she completed her PhD in environmental psychology, in which she investigated the association between exposure to greenspace and children's and adolescents' mental health and well-being. In her current work, she studies the association between academic pressure and adolescent mental health (specifically depression, anxiety, and self-harm) in the UK and other countries (e.g., Sweden and Japan).

In this episode, we discuss a very important topic with you regarding the mental health state of our children due to academic stressors and pressures that are having difficulty managing.

This past week, Kristyna turned 21! (Although her actual Birthday was mostly spent doing work for our spreadsheet class...) We did find the time to go bowling and get cocktails with friends in the evening – which felt like a vacation! And, the day after, Kristyna actually went on a trip to Malaga with her mom and got to enjoy some sunny days by the beach. Other than that, we spent our days chasing deadlines after deadline, as all the final projects suddenly had to be finished. It was a stressful week to say the least. For this weeks main topic, we decided to take a look back and compare our high school experiences to our current university years. Lauren talks about the intense academic pressure that she was under during high school and how her relationship to grades has improved drastically. Thankfully! We also talk about how much more freedom we have now and how we can spend this time exploring different projects and finding our interests. We definitely realized that there were some significant differences in between our lives then and now. And a lot of that certainly also has to do with personal growth. Our traditional bookclub once again wasn't really a bookclub, since we didn't read much. (We blame university – this is not on us...) Instead we planned out our summer and dreamt about reading by the lake and going to outdoor car cinemas. We have a high hopes for the upcoming months! And, of course, we shared our songs of the weeks and played an interesting(?) game connected last week's songs competition on Instagram. Thanks for joining us on this episode – we hope you enjoy it!

Even if we wish they were, our children will never be immune from the setbacks and failures inherent in life. These setbacks could be experienced by our children very early on, whether they be in the form of friendship dramas, academic pressure, or internal self-doubt. Getting back up after a setback is what we call resilience. Resilience is therefore an important skill to teach our children. In this episode of Chatabout Children™, we bring in author Michelle Mitchell to talk to us about how parents can raise resilient children. Michelle Mitchell is an award-winning speaker, author, and educator who has incorporated years of grassroots experience into her books. After leaving her profession as a primary school teacher, Michelle focused on helping teenagers, particularly teenage girls, learn vital life skills to support them while at school. Her latest book, Everyday Resilience: Helping Kids Handle Friendship Drama, Academic Pressure, and the Self-Doubt of Growing Up, tackles the very interesting topic of teaching resilience to children and teenagers, and we ask her to talk more about this subject in this episode. Key Learnings:  - How Michelle transitioned from being a primary school teacher to teaching kids how to be resilient.  - Michelle explains “Resilience is the capacity to thrive regardless of the circumstances' and shares the importance and challenge of connecting with your child. - The seven characteristics of a resilient child - She shares some strategies on helping children develop resilience in their everyday lives, for both girls and boys.  - Addressing a child's “I can't” mindset - Teaching why it's okay for kids to start doing something poorly. -We discuss perfectionism in kids. Michelle says to parents and educators - It's all about connection. Connecting with our kids is vital. Kids need the loving support of adults in their life so that they are not afraid to take risks. In replace of being connected, sometimes we over-parent kids, whereas we really need to be focusing on connection and allowing our children to fail. So, sit back and enjoy this episode of the Chatabout Children Podcast with Sonia Bestulic as she interviews Michelle Mitchell. Listen to the original episode here.

What a wonderful interview! Michelle Mitchell is warm, compassionate and marvelously adept at understanding teens, and how to help in challenging times. Michelle shares with us her insights into the teen brain (ahhh!) and what they are really needing from us during the pandemic. It’s not what you might think-it’s actually about “leaning out” as Michelle says. This is an opportunity to build capacity through adversity.

She has been termed ‘the teenage expert’ by the Australian media and is sought after for her compassionate and grounded advice for parenting tweens and teens.

Alice Oseman has marked herself as a young talented Young Adult author with a webcomic and a few novels including Radio Silence which is the topic of this episode. This book features a range of issues every adolescent goes through with a touching storyline and a group of well-thought-out characters.

Over the course of my three decades studying youth culture, I’ve regularly asked parents about what they think are the greatest pressures facing teenagers today. Typically, parents will cite things like peer pressure, drinking, and bullying. What parents might not know is that while these issues are a concern for today’s teenagers, teens themselves are now saying that the most critical issue facing their peers is anxiety and depression. In a Pew survey of one thousand teens ages thirteen to seventeen, seventy percent cite depression and anxiety as the most critical issue facing young people their age. Fifty-five percent said bullying is a problem, fifty-one percent cited drug addiction, and forty-five percent mentioned drinking. And when asked about what’s at the root of all their anxiety, the number pressure kids say they feel is the pressure to get good grades. Parents, be sure your kids are expected to do their best, rather than some socially defined and idolatrous best.

If you’re a parent who’s concerned about your teenager’s academic performance, here’s some advice from the folks at the National Center for Education Statistics regarding factors that fuel high engagement in academic pursuits. Kids are more engaged with their school work if they have a high level of interaction with their parents, if they eat dinner with their family, if they are involved in extracurricular activities, if they live in homes with rules related to TV viewing, and if they attend religious services at least once a month. While these are all worthwhile activities, we must remember that many kids who pursue academic success oftentimes do so for selfish reasons. Ultimately, our goal should be to instill a desire in our kids to work hard to the glory of God as a form of worship that gives God great pleasure. In fact, that should be the motivating factor behind all of our life pursuits. Teach your kids that the best way to worship God in their academics, is to pursue excellence to His glory, and not to the glory of self.

With stress and anxiety off the charts among our children and teens, it’s important that we understand some of the more common causes so that we might focus on prevention in order to have to focus less on intervention and treatment. With studies showing that almost one in four kids will experience depression before they are nineteen, we need to know what experts are citing as some of the main causes. First, there’s the pressure to do well at school. Second, school exams are a cause for stress. Kids don’t want to fail or disappoint their parents. Third, there’s peer pressure. There is tremendous pressure to fit in. Fourth, there’s bullying, which has ramped up due to the 24/7 nature of cyber-bullying. Fifth, kids are feeling stress due to world events, including things like war and natural disasters. And finally, there are the stresses related to family difficulties, changes, and breakdown. Parents, be aware of these factors, and point your kids to Jesus and the peace that passes understanding.

Hello everyone, I hope you have been doing well since last week when I spoke to you all. Today I am talking about academic pressure from a variety of sources and helping you reduce the stress involved with studying at any level. I give you a bit of background as to the academic pressure I have come into contact with throughout my life so far, hoping to help some of you out there! Enjoy episode 5 x

In high achieving schools, the expectations of parents and teachers can be intense. Getting top grades puts kids under unhealthy levels of stress. And is it even necessary? According to school counselor and therapist, Phyllis Fagel, "It's not clear what grades even mean any more. In today's Digital Age, with this many variables [contributing to our kids' chances for success in the workplace] I think people are just trying to control whatever they can. And grades is one of them." Many colleges are beginning to broaden their perspective to include more than just a student's GPA when considering applicants. That's an important step in the right direction. Anxious parents may also be recognizing that grades, per se, don't define a child, but they're not sure what does. Annie talks with Phyllis about the myth of the Straight A student and how character development fits into success in the workplace and in life. About Phyllis Fagell (@Pfagell) Phyllis L.
