As you know when you're a teen yourself or maybe you have some other teens in your life, hormones are a real thing. They're going through ups and downs. Their emotions are all kind of wacky. So that means when you have a group full of teenagers in your class, there's often a lot of drama. Maybe people are crying, people are angry and it most of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with you. So if a student is having a hard time in your class, have some empathy and don't take it personally. Their bad behaviour or their bad mood likely has nothing to do with what you're actually doing in class. So just take it all with a grain of salt and kind of let it roll off your back if possible.
