Not only do we have to go to school, but there are sports, parties, chores and all that homework! There are just not enough hours for everything. So, how do you manage or balance to get all things done on time?

You have to prioritize. Obviously, homework should be first because your education is what will help carry you through your life and lead you to success, sports are important as well, especially when it comes to college applications and your overall health, doing your chores shows that you are responsible and it really helps your family. Frankly, going to parties should be the last thing on your priority list. You have time to see your friends at school and during practice. You should save the partying for those weekends that you don't have so many other things going on. My oldest son is 14. He is a freshman in high-school. He plays football and he is a wrestler. Right now, it is wrestling season, and it is a very demanding sport. He is at school by 7am for morning practice, goes to his classes from 8am to 3:30pm, then it's back to practice until 6:30pm. On those days when he has a tournament, he may not get home until after 10pm. On top of that, he has to maintain a his grades and keep his homework done. He also does lawn work for a few people, has chores to do at home, and has to watch his siblings when I have to work and they are out of school. Not to mention the social demands of hanging out with his friends; which is something that he normally does on the weekend once his chores are done and he has taken care of the yards he routinely maintains. He is a very busy kid, but since he has learned to prioritize things, he manages it all pretty well.
