Many
teenagers today are stressed out by varying factors. While stress is a very
subjective matter i.e. something that you find stressful might not be stressful
to someone else, it is something that everyone experiences. Teenagers who are
at the peak of hormonal changes may find these situations hard to adapt to but nonetheless,
it is very normal.
One
of the main factors that cause students to stress is studies. To most, studying
is a chore; a mundane task that they should be rid of as soon as possible. They
don’t find joy in discovering new concepts or reading a History textbook, although
there are some who might. Adding fuel to the fire, many parents continuously
instil into their children that studies are everything in life. Without a good
degree, they would not be able to get a job that pays well and etc. It is
nothing new, especially when we live in an Asian community. Parents may force
their children to enter the science stream and to take subjects like Biology,
Chemistry and Physics in hopes of them becoming doctors, engineers or anything
related to the STEM field. Children with hopes of being professional athletes
or maybe something related to fine arts are shot down immediately with brooding
questions. How will you make a living out of that? Aren’t there enough actors
in the world?
