Stress

When talking about stress it can mean a wide variety of things, anything can trigger stress, and anyone can have stress. Everyone in their lifetime will encounter some type of stress at least once, its like we can't avoid it. Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action. Stress can cause serious harm on your body, can make your hair fall out, cause aches and pain in your muscles, can cause serious damage. When you are stressing you're causing your body to react and it is something people find things to better their time or ways to take stress out in their life. 


For adolescents stress comes with finding a college, studying for the SATs, fitting in, and if they will make into the college of their dreams, bullying, and society in general. Today, growing up I feel their is more pressure on you to go too school, and study your butt off to make it into a good school and get a good job. They just want to relax from time to time and hang out with their friends and just not stress about being an adult. I would completely agree, I got into a serious relationship, I had a job, paying bills all at 15/16 years old and I feel I missed out on my senior year of High School. In the end, being stressed about working and trying to make money to pay bills I still do at the age of 21. I can only hope my education and hard work pay off and I don't feel so consumed and overworked. Being stress has caused health problems for me I can't discuss, but i hope we can teach adolescents being worried about things they can't change and stuff that won't matter in 5 years and to just be a kid. No one should feel pressure as an adolescent to where they have so much stress it affects them and their every day living.
