You know these days stress among the nation is just everyday normal and it is not only us adults that stress. Kids are no longer kids, cripes at 11 little girls stress about no credit on their mobile or not having the latest and greatest hairstyle or clothes to keep up with the peers. And let me tell you, that has a knock on effect to the parents and their stress levels.
But in all seriousness this is no joke, the pressure these kids are under to fit in is huge and so we see increasing young people drinking and/or taking drugs at a young age to fit in or mask the emotional trauma, let alone teen suicides.
So please parents keep an eye on our kids and learn to identify changes in behaviour patterns.
Most of all talk to them.
Back to us. There are so many degrees of stress from a simple annoying work colleague to loss of enjoying your life to even serious health issues even death if left untreated, Yes it is that serious.
In today's economic climate with people out of work, not making mortgage payments, bill payments or even the simple everyday family support buying food etc has sky rocketed stress levels. It is common that stress can just be passed off as just simply hard times or just a worry at the moment but please if your friend is stressed. Tell them. Identify it and get help as it will easily turn to insomnia or another sleep disorder, depression and soon serious health issues.
Managing stress is about taking charge of your thoughts, emotions, your environment and the way you deal with situations. You want to have a fun balanced life with happy relationships.
Chronic stress will affect your body in countless ways, avoid it or help someone you may know suffering from stress.
