Stress is a strain often caused by school and expectations. Homework, tests, and studying can all be causes of stress in a student\u2019s life. Read as students from Plymouth High School share what causes their stress and how they deal with it everyday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stress is a feeling that is described similarly by students at PHS. For instance, freshman Jewel Brown depicts stress as being a pressure that other people put on you or you put on yourself. While Senior Nadia Baca describes stress as the feeling of being overwhelmed with things such as school or family. Freshman Abby Kraszyk says, \u201cI would define stress as just having so much pressure put on me all at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feeling of anxiety can be caused by different factors. Homework, studying, school projects, and tests can all be something a student can worry about. Brown says, \u201cI get very stressed about school projects and homework. I get very anxious when I don\u2019t understand something because I fear that teachers will think I didn\u2019t try and get mad at me.\u201d Students often talk about how there are certain things in school that causes their stress and anxiety. Sophomore Jasmine Baird states, \u201cI can get very stressed out about school projects and homework. Having a lot of makes me anxious because I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to finish it all and I wonder how it is going to affect my grade.\u201d Grades can show importance to a student\u2019s life. Especially when they are worried about getting good grades.<\/p>\n

School is not the only cause of stress, though. Sometimes it can be those who are close to students, such as friends. \u201cMy friends do stress me out,\u201d Brown states. \u201cWhen my friends have problems it means I have problems.\u201d Disagreeing with Brown, Baird says, \u201cMy friends actually help me to forget about my stress and not feel so anxious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, there is always a way to relieve stress. There are different activities to do that distract and help students deal with the stress that is caused by school, friends, or family. Freshman Sean Bradley says, \u201cI read, write, sleep, and listen to music.\u201d Kraszyk rants to her friends or writes about how she feels. Baca says, \u201cI like to play video games and sleep.\u201d Students have a wide variety of different activities to choose from to help relieve stress and these are just a few of those choices. Stress and anxiety can have a huge effect on how students do in school, and the causes for this stress can come from school as well as friends and family.<\/p>\n
