Stress

Stress is defined as a mentally or emotionally disruptive influence. I believe anger is a form of stress that builds up over time, and is released in many forms. Stress can be caused by multiple people doing a number of things to anger you. It could be that you are going through a rough period in your life that may be causing you stress. Stress in it's extreme can kill you. That's why it is so important to learn how to handle stress and not let stress handle you. There are several inappropriate ways to handle stress, such as smoking, drug usage, overeating, arguing, fighting and drinking. One of the worse ways to handle stress in a negative way is to react in a violent way.

To handle stress in a positive way you should first, ignore people when they try to anger you, then you should try to go somewhere and cool down. Exercise is a great way to handle stress. Personally I handle stress by playing basketball in my driveway. You could also avoid the triggers of your stress, even if those things that stress you are people. You could meditate, learn a hobby, talk to a good friend and learn to laugh at things that you can't control.

Depending upon the way that you are taught to handle stress can determine the kind of person you will grow up to be. A child that lets the stresses of life beat down on him, becomes a teenage that can't handle anything. This kind of teen stays in trouble and doesn't do well in school or social situations. If this teen doesn't get help, he will grow up to be the kind of adult that doesn't accomplish anything good as an adult. He may drink to excess or beat up on people, but he will not be successful in life if he doesn't get any help. Conversely, the child that learns how to deal with stress constructively won't have any problems that he can't handle. He will make friends well and more than likely will be successful in everything that he sets out to do.

One of the biggest youth stress causes is peer-pressure. Another one is gender-bias. One of my biggest stresses is physical activities like doing a lot of chores or getting up at 6 a.m. in the morning to go to school. One kind of stress for males is who is the fastest runner or who gets the most girls. I think girls stress over who gets the most boys or who is the cutest looking girl.

In conclusion, stress can be defined as any obstacle in life that needs to be handled. Stress in some situations can't be avoided, so there are many ways both positively and negatively that people learn how to deal with it. Those who are taught positive methods to handle stress will be successful in life and those who don't handle stress well, will stay in all kinds of trouble.
