   Advice day: stress- dealing with it.
There are 3 main types of stress. Parental, Self: mental, emotional, and physical, and peer. What are we to do? It is had depending on who you and the meaning of the term “nature vs. nurture”. Well deal with stress everyday whether it is good or bad. Most stress is good. This is bodily stress, but let isolate how to deal with the bad stress.

1. Prenatal: Parental stress always affects us. This is the stress that, ether parents put on us or the stress that were endure ourselves from how our parents want us to be. With most teens that want to make there parents proud of them. Take for instance in the manga “Loveless” the main character (the name has escaped my mind) has to deal with that he has a “split personality”, to say, what his mother is doing to him is saying that her son is gone and in the place is him. I classify this stress as “Perfect image”. This stress is usually effects people from there parents wanting there child to be perfect. Grade, dressing, attitude, behavior. The best way to deal with this is ether confront your parents, family meetings, or some other solution that helps gets the problems out in the open.

2. Self: this form of stress is always linked together with it sub parts. Mental Emotion and Physical. In most cases this ends up badly. Mainly because when we experience emotional stress we want to cause bodily harm to our selves to coup with the pain. The most common for that is know or talked about is cutting. I will not go into detail with the way people cut because of personal experience, but it is best to know the signs. Usually the scars are found in places that can easily hidden, most common is long sleeves. Most self stress issues can be seen by others. Depression, loss of personality, acts secluded, abuse; drugs mainly. Mental stress can happen with the finding out of traumatizing news that in turn can have the same effects of emotional stress. Self stress is intertwined. The best way to deal with this is to write it down in a journal, dairy, vent to a friend, (with this if you are the friend do not over react and make it about you, help them focus on the problem and help them find an appropriate solution) or put it towards and interest; such as writing or drawing. The worst outcome will be suicide. Don’t let it get this far. There is nothing in life that is worth dieing over.


3. Peer: Peer stress is also known as peer pressure. This is, as we all know, the stress we our peers, friends, co-workers, people along the same age or generation, have us try or do things that we don’t want to. These are the most common amongst young adults. Trying to find a place to fit in or a place were they have a place of being wanted. This is the desire of many people. No one wants to be left alone deep down. We all need some one to go to when things get bad. This is were peer pressure comes in. when we go to our friend some times they want us to do something that we don’t want to do, usually this is a copping mechanism for them when thing get bad. In most cases the thing that the friend had us do can seem like the to get a way from the problem. This is usually tied in with Self stress and Parental stress. The best thing to find a place to were you belong is to write a list of thing you enjoy doing. Examine the list and find activities or clubs that ties those interests together. This allows you to find a place to were you can find people with the same interest and life long bond of friendship begin. The outcome of friendships tent to be good.
