Students at Plymouth High School become stressed out due to exams, the pressure of passing classes, and after school life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not only school, but other everyday activities can stress out students. Junior Cecilia Valdez said, \u201cMy boyfriend stresses me out the most.\u201d Not only relationships, but home life can also be stressful for students. Freshman Francesca Carten said, \u201cthings that are going on at home, things in my life, and when people say stressful things\u201d stress her out. Junior Veronica Orta said that all school related activities stress her out. Orta said that \u201cwork, school exams, AP testing, SAT, college, and if everything will work out, stresses me out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshman Elyse Lucas said, \u201cthe reasons that [school] cause[s] me so much stress is because if I don’t turn in one sheet of homework, my grade will fall and that will cause my GPA to fall, and I won’t get into a good college or be able to get a job that I will enjoy later in life.\u201d Students at PHS feel that homework and grades are a major factor of their stress. Orta said that having 5 classes \u201care a lot to deal with all at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students say that they try and control their stress with other activities. Freshman John Mills said \u201cI ask the teacher if I can go out in the hall for a moment or a will I listen to music.\u201d While Lucas said, \u201cI go outside and practice color guard because it distracts me from the rest of my problems.\u201d One can have different ways to control their stress. \u00a0Carten said that \u201cI try to do things that are relaxing or try to calm down.\u201d Students tend to focus on non-stressful activities when stressed.<\/p>\n

When students are stressed it makes them feel \u201creally mad or angry or upset,\u201d as Mills said. Freshman Callie Burch said that when she is stressed she \u201cwants to cry and curl up in a ball most of the time.\u201d While Burch wants to cry, Carten feels, \u201cunfocused, worried, and I can’t seem to sit still.\u201d Orta said when she is stressed it makes \u201cmy anxiety rises dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n

When students feel upset, worried, or stressed, they want to be left alone. Lucas said, \u201cWhen I am stressed I only want to talk to a few select people.\u201d Burch said that she \u201cwould rather be left alone, as people talking just gets too [stressful].\u201d Carten said that it \u201cdepends on what type of stressful situation it is. Usually I like to talk, it normally calms me down, but in other cases I don’t want people to talk to me because I might get mad and snap on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

To calm themselves down, student do multiple non-stressful activities. Freshman Mackenzie Winrotte said she \u201ctries my best and knows that I have done my best.\u201d Mills said that he \u201clistens to music or talks to someone.\u201d While Orta said that she \u201ctries to push through whatever I’m going through.\u201d<\/p>\n

PHS students have found ways to push through a stressful situation with calming activities.<\/p>\n
