Talking about STRESS
We recently talked about stress in our class. We talked about what can cause stress. And we talked about the effects of stress on people.Here are some causes that students talked about:
- when I don't have money
- when I have relationship problems
- when my children are sick
Here are some effects that students talked about:
- a person can feel tired
- a person can feel sad and cry a lot
- a person can feel angry and scream a lot
- a person can drink more alcohol or smoke more cigarettes
- a person can eat a lot more, or eat a lot less than usual
Personally, I believe it is healthy to talk about stress. Sometimes when you talk to friends about the stress in your life, you can feel like you are not alone with your problems.
That was my intention with this video. I hope it doesn't stress you out too much to watch it.

When you feel stressed out, what do you do to feel better?
