WHATS IN
1. What school activities do you feel anxious or worried about? How did you cope with that
feeling?
I’m probably more anxious and worried in academic situations like having reports or
recitations because it requires power and self-confidence to deliver the right and proper
information to my classmates and teachers, plus there there’s that lingering feeling that I might
fail or do a mistake. I don’t necessarily do anything to cope with the feelings, but sometimes
when I feel too overwhelmed I do some focused breathing before performing any of them.
2. How does stress affect your studies?
The studies are actually the ones causing me stress but when I am stressed I wander
around doing something else instead like slamming a ball, randomly watching 3 whole seasons
of a show, memorizing a quarter of a k-pop songs choreography, cleaning my room or maybe
cry, which are all basically considered as procrastinating. So in short stress affects my studies
real bad, because I tend to focus less on my responsibilities and go on comfort myself with
procrastinating and doing whatever I want.
3. What are the causes of stress among teenager?
The first cause of stress I would like to disclose is studies or academics. Our studies are
certainly important for us because its results would determine our future yet thinking about
those results with the context of us failing surely does bring us stress.
Peer pressure is also a cause of stress to us teenagers. In our adolescent stage we to
tend to be self-conscious and care about what other peers think about us, it is so because we
seek a place we could belong and fit in. If an adolescent gets left out there’s that lingering
feeling or thought that he/she will end up alone or be treated as an outcast. Teenagers really
hate looking pathetic that’s why most of them do something to impress other peers and as I
have observed most of those impressions are stupid while others are making fake facades
pretending to be people they are not. In any way, they are trying their best to survive life so I
refuse to judge what they’re doing. And lastly, I think most of my peers are stressed about their
“love life”. Some are in a relationship but are held back and pressured, some are stressed that
they don’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend because having one is like a “trend” and is “cool”, some
are stressed because they immediately want to get laid, and some are stressed because they’re
already caring a blessing in their uterus.
