1. Introduction
Nowadays, stress is nothing strange for us because increasing amounts of stress can be found in every aspect of our daily lives.

This study will examine the effects of stress and will also identify the best ways to manage stress.

2.1.1 The effects of stress on physiological symptoms

The physiological symptoms of pressure are headache, loss of appetite and high blood pressure, which result from irregular work hours, overwork and loss of sleep. If you are under stress, your physical body will quickly respond and tend to show corresponding symptoms. For example, it is hard for you to fall asleep every night and it leads to a serious headache. Another one is that if you have loss of appetite, you may lose weight quickly. Some other impacts which are muscular tensions, back or neck pain and upset stomach can also make you uncomfortable (Mojoyinola, 2008).

It is known that not only adults have pressure, but also children in their early lives. A kind of stress called toxic stress is caused by extreme harmful experiences that may last a long period of time (Middlebrooks & Audage, 2008). The first effect is that the connection of brain circuits is impaired by toxic stress in early childhood, so the brains of children will not develop very well (Middlebrooks & Audage, 2008).
