Do you have stress?

5R3 (21) Ting Hoi Nam, Kelvin

What is the meaning of stress in your opinion? In my opinion, stress is a
negative feeling in our daily lives. Our stress can come from anywhere,
anytime. When we study in school, it can come gradually and affect your

whole day of studying; when you stay at home, stress will appear because
of your family; when you are alone, stress will appear because of financial
problems. We are always living under stress, but which kinds of stress affect
you the most in your secondary school life?

First, why does stress come from school easily? What are the things that
you care the most in your secondary school? They are your exam marks and
results. Your future will be affected by them. All students know that results

are important in DSE so they will try their best. However, competition in Hong
Kong is keen. It is difficult to do well. If you are lazy one moment, you would be
a loser. This stays in every student’s mind. Therefore, academic stress comes
easily.

Next, stress also comes from interpersonal problems. As the student’s
parents always care about marks in the exams, they don’t care about their
children’s feelings and always hope their kids to be top ones in the school.

Parents will give the best things to their children. They think this is good
for their children. However, their children disagree with what their parents
do, as they always push them towards a higher goal. Students have stress because
of it. Therefore, a lot of students get depression and anxiety. It shows

interpersonal issue is one of the causes of stress.
