Emotional Baggage?

Teenage bodies are bereft with emotions and their bodies are enduring intense changes that most definitely have an effect on their learning and interactions with peers and faculty. It can be hard to concentrate on homework or even in class if your body is uncomfortable or your mind wanders to what Timmy thinks of your new haircut. Just the same if a student gets a bad grade, they are much more likely to be emotionally devastated and give up on the subject at an adolescent age as compared with young children and adult learners. Interactions with ones peers and faculty are also subject to the intense emotional baggage every teenager carries. There are many fights both physical and emotional that happen during adolescence that can dampen a students ability to do well in their studies. Also, if a student doesn't like a  teacher or a teacher is mean to them or strict the student is liable to tune out the professor in future lessons.
