It shall also be panned to mending the emotional and mental association that teens have with school by addressing topics such as burn out, validation, disappointment and stagnation; cultivating new talents whilst simultaneously not demeaning school and finding harmony with all aspects of their life; balancing the desire to succeed with the need to be present.
