Stress is sadly a word we hear way to often.\u00a0 Why are middle school kids already stressed out at this age you ask? Well it was my duty to find out.<\/p>\n<p>By asking some middle schoolers what stresses them out I gained a better understanding about what stresses us out. You may find the answers are so different yet all mean the same thing we are our own enemies. Here are some of their responses.<\/p>\n<p>-Tests and quizzes stress me out because they have a big impact on my grades.<\/p>\n<p>-Tests and quizzes usually stress me out because I\u2019m always worried I won\u2019t remember something.<\/p>\n<p>-Tests and quizzes stress me out because I don\u2019t usually have time to study.<\/p>\n<p>-My grades usually stress me out because I have an older sibling and I want to be just as good in school as she was.<\/p>\n<p>-Homework stresses me out because I always have to figure out how to get it all done in time.<\/p>\n<p>-My grades stress me out because they are really important to my parents and I want to live up to their expectations.<\/p>\n<p>-I always want to prove to myself that I can do something, so my classes always stress me out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So my conclusion to these comments? Everyone wants to please someone. We all want to be better than an older sibling, or show a parent that we CAN be that son or daughter they can brag about.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s in our nature, we are all competitive in our own ways.\u00a0 For some it&#8217;s sports that drive them to do well, others its grades. But they all come down to one thing\u2026 living up to expectations we set for ourselves. This shows that we are our own stress, we stress ourselves out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alexis George Every day has a new worry around the corner, something that we need to get done or do.
