Stress

Stress is a thing that we as human beings cannot avoid in life. It can be inflicted by many causes. Peer pressure and parents expectations are two of them.
Peer pressure
We can be very stressed up when seeing our friend score higher marks than us in an examination.This is a very common sight in HCI. We will therefore need to work very hard in order to get the better of them in the next examination. In this way, it is a positive thing as it gives you the drive to work harder and achieve your goals. However, too much of it will lead to stress that we ourselves cannot handle. Therefore, our goals must be realistic in order to avoid this effect of overwhelming peer pressure.
Parents expectation
It is good to know that your parents expect you to achieve certain goals. This shows that they care for your well-being. However, this can also lead to overwhelming stress. Your parents care about you. They care for you so much that they they want the best for you. In other words, I can say that your parents are kiasu. They want you
to be top of everything which sometimes might not be good.
I would like to share an example here:
I saw in a newspaper that a 13 year old boy jumped down from a 7-storey building but survived. It is reported that the boy was scolded because he played truant.
A 13-year-old boy ending his own life because he was scolded for playing truant? If that is the case, many students would have died. Maybe he had some other problems he faced? Maybe it is not the because he was scolded for playing truant that caused him to jump? Maybe he was caused by an overwhelming of stress because of peer pressure or parents expectations? No one knows what is the truth behind it but one thing for sure is that what he did was extremely unacceptable. He shouldn't run away from his problems by ending his life. Instead, he should face them and try to solve them. If he cannot solve them he should ask his parents, teachers or maybe even friends who can provide a listening ear to his problems and try to help him solve them. This is the same case as Adeline Ng Ai Choo where she didn't want to tell anybody about her problems. Therefore, I advise you that before you do anything foolish please please please tell someone about your problems and that might actually save your life.
Way to keep stress level down
-exercise often
-take up some hobbies
Exercise can include swimming, jogging etc. Most importantly participate actively in your ep3 as that might be the only time you can destress.
Take up hobbies like collecting stamps, keeping pets, reading books etc, things that you can do conveniently at home so that whenever you feel bored or stress up you can immediately destress.
Okay I think I should end here. However, if you guys have any opinion to share feel free to post in comments. You can give comments on other ways to destress or other ways that can cause stress. Thank you.
