The Pain Of Stess

As a student in high school I had been stressed a lot of times. When I am stressed, I became very confuse and sometime it lead me to smoke or drink, so I can just feel little bit relax from stress. But after all I realize it is pointless to do this to solve my problem. After I seen this is not helpful for me, I decided to interview some people about how they deal with their stress. Many told me that they excises, which can help them to forget the cause of their stress. Every time I think about my school problem and the lack of English I have I feel more pressure and worried, which can lead me to think hours after hours. Because of stress I only get 3hours of sleep a day, I know this is one reason that effect my education in a very negative direction.
High school is a big step to accomplish in a teen life. Teens have to work hard to get into agood college, as an ESL learner has to work twice more hard. As a young boy who grows up in the third world, I have a lot of stories and goals to dream about. I come to school like all other high school students and after go to work as a normal person who has to take full responsibility and take care of my family. This cause me to be stressed. I come to school every day just to get better life for my future.
Stress is a feeling or an emotion that interrupt human life. Many teens in school are distracted with their education because of academic difficulties or pressures. Stress not only effects education for teens, it also affect their physical health. Stress is very dangerous because it can lead a person into mild or severe depression and eventually to kill them self or to cause something bad.
Many people don’t really know when they are stress. Most of the time when teens are stressed they will be isolated from the other people, they just feel like been alone and ignore by everyone, which will cause the stress to build up more in their heart. May teen get stress because of this reason. According to this article “Adolescents stress – It can cause adverse effect in future" I have notice that they are many way that can cause teens to be stress. The biggest causes of stress: school work can be 78%, parents can be 78%, Romantic relationships can be 64% , problems with friends can be 64% and siblings can be 64%. All those can effect a big part of the cause of stress in teens life. In conclusion stress can be very dangerous for human. Many teens is stress because of school work or other issue. this give teens a lot of pressure which will cause them to have bad grade in school. As young Student i have seen how stress can effect my education and my whole life.
