We can copy a picture from Google images and use it in a variety of ways. There are endless images and words on the internet, and it is all so easily shareable. I don't think that giving appropriate credit for work, ideas, or words is emphasized. For young people, this shareable world is the only one they've known, and this reality presents a particular challenge as they grow into the middle and high school years: plagiarism. That is, using someone else's words or ideas without giving proper credit.  Topics: [Parenting](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/parenting) [High School](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/high-school) [Plagiarism](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/plagiarism) [Continue Reading](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/what-parents-need-to-know-about-plagiarism) ###### 4 min read ## [The Current Landscape of College Admissions](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/the-current-landscape-of-college-admissions-1) By [Austin Martin](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/author/austin-martin) on Sep 22, 2022 8:00 PM [![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/College%20Admissions%20Blog%20Image.jpg)](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/the-current-landscape-of-college-admissions-1) In years past, many high school students and their parents followed a similar script as they planned for college: take the most challenging classes in high school to boost their GPA, be in as many extra-curricular activities as possible, earn the highest ACT or SAT score possible, apply to a college with said score, and get "in" based on the institution's formulaic criteria for admission. While this approach worked for many students to gain admission to colleges and universities in the past, the landscape of college admissions has changed significantly in the last few years.  Topics: [Teens](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/teens) [High School](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/high-school) [College Admissions](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/college-admissions) [College Readiness](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/college-readiness) [Continue Reading](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/the-current-landscape-of-college-admissions-1) ###### 3 min read ## [Mental Health Among Today's Teens](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/mental-health-among-todays-teens) By [Dr. Mike Hayes](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/author/dr-mike-hayes) on May 26, 2022 8:00 PM [![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/Teen%20Mental%20Health.jpg)](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/mental-health-among-todays-teens) In 2018, a global study was conducted in several countries around the world to assess the mental health of incoming college freshman. Based on data collected and analyzed in this research project, the [American Psychological Association reported](https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2018/09/freshmen-mental-health)that one in three college freshman "report symptoms consistent with a diagnosable mental health disorder." While their findings are alarming, they are not altogether surprising.  Topics: [Parenting](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/parenting) [High School](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/high-school) [Teen Mental Health](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/topic/teen-mental-health) [Continue Reading](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/mental-health-among-todays-teens) [Prev](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/page/1) [All posts](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/all) [Next](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12/page/3) ### Featured ### SUBSCRIBE TO RECEIVE MORE HELPFUL ARTICLES FOR NAVIGATING YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION ![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/WC%20Assets%20(Logos%20and%20Fonts)/Logos/Horizontal%20Academic%20Logo%20for%20Dark%20Backgrounds.png) Worthington Christian School is Columbus, Ohio's leader in K-12 grade Christian education. - BLOG MENU - [Navigating Ages 3-K](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k) - [Navigating Grades 1-5](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades1-5) - [Navigating Grades 6-8](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8) - [Navigating Grades 9-12](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades9-12) ###### Contact Us 614-431-8215 [info@worthingtonchristian.com](mailto:info@worthingtonchristian.com) 6675 Worthington-Galena Road Worthington, OH 43085 ###### Subscribe ©2020 Worthington Christian School, Inc.
