essay 2 - STRESS

                Stress can be defined as a condition when human’s body reacted to a particular overwhelming condition. As human’s body can’t bear it anymore, thus it starts to show some unusual syndromes. Eventually, the main cause of stress is human’s mind, when they tend to treat some problem as an extremely important thing.  ”Stress is an ignorant state, it believes that everything is an emergency” may be appropriate to represent it. Have you ever felt overly panic or even insomnia when being chased by deadlines? Yes, some people may think these are usual syndrome. However, it shows common signs and symptoms of stress. Based on American Psychological Association, surveys showed that 82% of stressed people in America feel some symptoms such as headache, changing in eating habit, and easily get angry. Therefore, stress can give some impacts to people in modern society. The most critical effects nowadays are committing suicide for the changing in behavior and obesity for the changing in human’s physic.   

                Nowadays throughout the world, committing suicides are nearly common to be done as the result of overly frustration. For this case, let’s take teenagers as the example. Most parents will naturally ask their children to study a lot of thing to become a successful person in the future. Piano lesson, homework from school, joining language course, final exams, these are things that obviously most of teenagers will go through. However, is it not too much? Can their body stand it? 73% of 804 teachers in America believe that teenagers are more frustrated than before 10 years ago. Moreover, John Harkin, head teacher of Oak grove integrated college in Londonderry said that about 800 teenagers commit suicide in every year. It really takes a big role of their society life. Some of them commit suicide as withdrawal, whereas the others do it to show the world of their existence. Scientists found that some teenagers commit suicide because they had a big problem in their mind and can not share it to other people. Bad relationship between parents and their child, failed in school, and lack of mental health in school affect the teenagers stress level. They are confused how to handle it, over-depressed and choose to commit suicide. Therefore, stress is the main cause of those number of suicide incidents among teenagers.

                Recent experiments showed that there are relations between stress level and obesity. When under depressed, human’s brain will release a hormone that will activate a gene in fat cells. Based on the journal Nature Medicine’s study, scientists found that a stressed mouse will gain weight twice as much as normal mice, and stop gaining weight when the hormone being taken. For human, some studies also found that stressful people will easier get fatter, it is because the changing in their hormone and eating behavior. If in one night, you are busy doing assignments. When you feel hungry, will you chose to prepare a plate of salad or just order McDonalds? Based on experiment, under-stressed people will tend to eat more sugar and salt. They believe that it will give them more energy to continue their work, they need it. Eventually, this obesity’s problems are getting worse. The World Health Organization said that the number of obesity in the world will double to 2,3 billion in 2015. They are to busy minding their deadlines, no time to exercise and no time to take care of their food. Also because of stress, a hormone called neuropeptide Y that cause fat cells growing and multiplying, is resulting in the increased of obesity. It is really obvious that stress level can change human’s physic in term of obesity and also change their way of life in society’s life.

                As the conclusion, stress can result some critical impacts in term of changing how people behave and changing their physical appearance. As we can see, these problems are getting worse. Will you being controlled by your life’s matter? As nowadays, urban area is getting more modern. It means that there will be more pollution, people must live systematically, and stress level will be increased in the future. However in the other hand, scientists keep working on finding the way to reduce stress level. In order to avoid some particular physical problem and frustration, people must avoid stress. They can do some stress’s managements such as listening to music, relax, exercise and even shopping. But after all, it comes back to human’s mindset. If people can always think clearly, and do their activity in well organized way, they hardly become stress and frustrated in going through their life.
