Exam stress!- Are Teens and children put under too much pressure?

[Robyn :)]

Ok so i am in high school at the moment, currently studying for my GCSEs. I am doing my english and spanish a year early so i am STRESSED already! Ok, so this column post is basically me ranting on about GCSEs and my lack of appriciation for exams (!) So heres the question- do you think teens and children are put under too much pressure in school nowadays? If yes, what do you think the goverment should do insted?
It is also said that more variety in what exams you can take should be offered. What are your views?
Thanks.
