Stress and it's Impact

The major causes of stress n my life would definitely be school and college. I'm so nervous about applying to colleges and getting into school that I am able to easily stress myself out. I am also very stressed with my job. I am a tutor 4 days a week for two different families and doing all the work they require me to do in the small amount of time sometimes stresses me out. I often have to take naps and relaxing breaks but with my busy schedule; there isn't really a lot of time for naps and relaxation. As of right now, when I get stressed out, I often pick up a book to read (usually for school) and read that. IT may not completely calm me down but at least I am doing something while semi-relaxing. Sometimes, I can't help but be stressed out. I should probably try and cope with my stress in a more effective way because it can be dangerous to my help. This is where in between classes I will result to laughing, hanging with friends, eating, or playing games (floor is lava, cops and murderers). I know it may seem childish but it makes me and my friends laugh and probably reduces stress for everyone all around.
Stress is dangerous to everyone in every different ways and can actually lead a person to be overweight or develop an ulsor/ high blood pressure. It can lead to depression and many other things. I think that America is probably one of the most stressful countries to live in because their is so much pressure in everyone's life. There is pressure to hold a job, look good, do well in school, have friends, fit in, have fun, do all your homework, take care of your chores, babysit on Saturdays and Fridays, watch all the right tv shows, update your facebook at least once a day, check your messages, run errands, wear the right clothes, fix your hair right, put on makeup, drive safely, follow the rules, read a book, and in all of this have time to take care of yourself. These are only the things that I do for my life; I'm sure it's very different for some people but if you are any similar to me; it's hard to do everything and keep a smile on your face. I try my best to positive and please everyone and to me- I am only pleased if everyone else is pleased. I mean recently I have had a lot of stress- my mom passed away a few months ago and it's very hard not to be depressed. I keep it fun with my friends and my dad. With these things, I am able to stay positive and happy.

Important Developments in the Brain

The first most important development in the brain would be the actual birth of a child. IF a child is born pre-maturely, they usually experience problems in their life that many other children would not experience because their brain is less developed than others children in the beginning years of their life and later in life. They include have problems paying attention, learning, opposing structure, planning, and hypersensitivity.
The second most important development would be the toddler stage in a young child's life. It is crucial for them to walk, run, explore, learn to reason, pay attention, remember, and make friends through their experiences. This will help a small child later in life with all sorts of things because these are the basic steps of becoming a person and being a person.
The third most important step in a person's life would be their teenage years. Teenage years are said to be some of the toughest years of a person's life which may mean that they are older and act more mature but at the same time their brain is still not completely developed to fit their lifestyle. They are very susceptible to drugs and alcohol as they grow up and many mistakes in a person's life will take place in the teenage years- the ones that are not completed with a full brain. It is important for a teenager to maintain healthy habits as they grow up so that their brain can fully mature the right way.
