Article: Teens are lazy and unprepared

From a students view, I would say that University bound teenagers are not very lazy, because we wouldn't be where we are academically if we were lazy. For this reason i would blame the Universities for going way to fast with the first year students because they are in a culture shock. First year students under go a huge culture shock. Thjis is usually their first time living away from their parents alone. They know find out they have many more responsibilities now other than school like laundry, bills, dishes, groceries, and cooking. They are also probably feeling lonely and yes may miss their family. Also, the style of learning is much different than highschool and people are getting use to it. For the profs to start off and expect so much from these people who are just adjusting to a new life is not fair to them. Second year when they are use to everything and how University works they are must more prepared and do alot better. These students if lazy would not be going to University so i do not believe they are lazy or they would have not gotten as far as they have. Universities need to accept what the first year students are going through and be less hard to allow them to get use to a new life.
