Teachers, go easy on us... please?

 In case you didn't know, we are so very young. Only 12, 13, and 14 year olds (except you, Nick.), and yet, even though you already know this, you still give us tons of homework and deadlines. Must you give us so much homework? Our young brains cannot handle this much thinking. All right, I know what goes through your head right now: "Your brains can handle it, you're just lazy." That's what every teacher thinks. But, try to remember your highschool life. Try to remember the way you thought. Yes, you were thinking the same things we were, and you know it: we have too much homework!
 Don't believe me? All right, time to try a different approach.

"Teacher, teacher! Too much homework is bad for the skin."
 Do you want us to have wrinkly, pale skin at such a young age? Of course you don't, dear teacher. Now that you know that it's bad for the skin, will you still give us too much homework? What's that, dear teacher? You'll still give us tons of homework? T_T
 Time for yet another approach...
 
 "Teacher, teacher! I'm too busyyyy!"
 "No you're not. You're just too lazy."

 Well, it was worth a try. :)

 Hear our plea, Teacher, and at least lessen the homework... please?
