Going back to school is pretty exciting for kids and teens. You get to go back to school to see your friends for the first time in months. You get to meet your new teacher (or teachers) and you get to find out where you will be sitting and who you will be sitting next to. For a lot of kids, they feel starting a new school year is another chance to redefine who they are so they can be more popular. I remember that feeling as a kid...I wish that I had known that I should have just been myself.
