Stress In Middle School

Stress was something everyone experience in their daily lives. It can be too much for some people depending on how they handle and it can lead to an “overload.” For example, my parents are mainly stressed about their job and taking care of my little sister, Natalie and I, while my friend, Serra is very stressed about schoolwork and band. She even had signs of stress like headaches and panic attacks according to “Stress in Children…”. Also, I read on articles that teens are having higher stress levels than normal; therefore, I was hoping if there were ways that schools could help these teens since this can or almost affect their future like I was in middle school. In seventh and eighth grade at Shadow Ridge Middle School, I was defiant against
my parents. I didn’t want them to tell me what to do, and I didn’t think that I could have good grades in high school or college. I felt like that I wasn’t smart enough, and I wanted to give up even though my grades were good enough to get good grades in high school and college. My friends gave me their support, but I still felt stressed because I feel the need to be smart or my parents would be disappointed. Soon, I got it all together and started to find ways to enjoy myself to relieve stress like listening to music, playing video games on my tablet, and reading. For these reasons, I wanted to do a log on stress.
