Abstract :
Stress is a fact of life. Changes in our lives-such as going to college, getting married, changing jobs, illness-are frequent sources of stress. Changes that cause stress can also benefit in one’s personality development. New challenges in life, friends, and living arrangements help to create personal development opportunities. It is important to carefully consider the causes of stress. One can minimize the harmful effects of stress, such as depression or hypertension. The key is to develop an awareness of how a person interpret and react to circumstances. This awareness helps to develop coping techniques for managing stress. Life events such as marriage, frequent changing jobs, divorce or the death of a relative or friend are the most common causes of stress. Although life-threatening events are less common, they can be the most physiologically and psychologically acute problem. It is normal to have some signs of depression very often. Stress can have consequences far beyond temporary feelings of pressure. While one can’t avoid stress, we can learn to manage it and develop skills to cope with the events or situations we find stressful. By learning to cope with stress and by recognizing the symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicide, one will be better prepared to help not only one self, but also friends and fellow students.
