Stress is such a common thing in a life of such a competitive society nowadays. So much so that it is almost impossible to not feel stress in our lives. Society has changed significantly from the olden days and it is right in front of us for all to see. As a teenager, I too feel the stress of a fast paced city life. There are many aspects that causes stress to teenagers and I believe that it is usually academic related.
Nowadays, news about university graduates failure to get a job even though equipped with inpressive achievements has everyone on edge. Teenagers fight hard to obtain good results so they can enter college and university and then have a job. I 'm sure you can see the mundane cycle right? And so, we have to work crazy hard, some goes to so many tuition that we don't even have sufficient time to rest or sleep. Thus, all our hobbies and sports are neglected in our goal to excel in our academics. And of course, for us pure science students, we juggle with so many subjects that it is difficult to keep track of everything. Especially nearing the exams, we feel even more stressed out.
I remember a few years ago, when my sister took a-levels in Taylors College, she was constantly in a bad mood. She was like a ticking time bomb, one wrong move she would lash out. Her routine everyday was just come back from college, sleep until dinner. After dinner, sit in the studyroom and study until God knows how late during the night. Her past year question papers are nearly the thickness of the Oxford dictionary and that is only for one semester. Of course she never finished it. Seeing her like this, I am afraid to go to college.I don't think I have the ability to study like her. But in the end, she got a pretty good results (as usual).
I guess that sometimes we just have to be smart and overcome our stress. I mean, people always say the bad days won't last and eventually the sun will shine again. So I guess we will just have to hold on to that hope and hope for the best.
