Stress
Stress is a normal or general physical and emotional state that accompanies the stress response, and a physical and emotional reactions to a stressor, that any physical or psychological event or condition that produces physical and emotional reactions. I could only think of the last time I have faced the most significant stress I ever discover, and to be honest I was really young at that time, maybe it was fourteen years of age. This significant stress is based on a relationship with a twenty year old guy from my church, and we were having a relationship. My parents find out, and they want it me to dump this guy, because I was too young and the guy was too old for me. It takes about two month to get over it, and I was distressed trying to dump this guy, it gives me a hard time to dump him. I admire this guy so much, because he was the most adorable person I ever met. But thank God I overcome this stupid feeling, because it was not right at all and I have to obey my parents, it’s a must for me. When I faced stress, I would say that I never really show to anyone, I just pretend that I am okay and I hide this feeling especially in front of my friends and family. I just show it when I am alone or when my appetite is occur, I always keep those emotion to myself and I feel it’s the right thing to do. I released stress by talking to a pastor or preacher, a friend and sibling. When I hide the stress feelings, it really help me to deal with it and the stress feelings never bothers me when I wanted to do something important, it never bothers me when I’m not intended to think about it. There this one time when I got stressed so badly, it leads me to bad situation that causes headaches and fever. But sooner I deal with it so hard to let it go, but once I try to think about it, it causes me so much stress, I did the best I can to avoid those stress emotional when it comes to bad memory

    The term stress is the response of individuals to stressors. Stressors are events that threaten individuals and tax their coping abilities. I was in situations where my coping abilities where threaten. For Instance, last year I was going through a time I had major damages to my vehicle where I couldn’t drive for almost 2 months. I didn’t cope with it very well because I needed transportation to get back and forth to work; I was briefly going to school as well. During the 2 months all I wondered was, how I was going to get my car fixed and how was I going to come up with money. By doing that made things worst. Another stressor I’ve dealt with was, dealing with being unemployed for 6 months. It was times I coped with and other times I didn’t do so well with it. I didn’t worry about being unemployed at the beginning because I was fine financially and if I couldn’t find anything I could always reapply to my previous employer in 2 months. Things got worst when I found out we were moving once again and my mom didn’t have the money she needed to prepare to move again and started to worry me. The reason why I because, don’t like to see my mom struggle and as I embrace being the man of house I start worry about getting a job and coming up with the money to help my mom out. I attempted to try to get my old job back which I felt optimistic about the interview, but as I was waiting patiently for a phone call I never received one. So I decided to call them and they decided to go with another person for the job. I was very disappointed and lost focus on other things I had to deal with in my life.…

    Becoming a mother in her teenage years is not an ideal situation for most young women. Young adults in this age bracket are still growing, physically and emotionally, and are not always as equipped to handle adult situations as they might think. Teen mothers face adult responsibilities even before they give birth, and the obligations continue for years down the road. Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures, which ultimately takes a huge toll on adolescent mothers as there are many pressures put on her to resort to abortion, something that is potentially harming psychologically and physically. Additionally, this social stigma furthers the negative judgment from the surrounding people in the teen mother’s life including friends, family, teachers, employers, and strangers; this negative judgment may include a great deal of prejudice placed on the mother, implying their promiscuity, and the assumptions that they will get into drugs, and resort to welfare. Furthermore, teenage pregnancy and parenting interfere with education, resulting in limited employment options and difficulties earning the great deal of money needed for the additional costs of raising a child. The need to sacrifice many social opportunities that coincide with adolescence arises, as well as the challenges in keeping up with friends that are on completely different life paths than the teen mother. Also, difficulties maintaining stable relationships with the father of the child, and family members of the pregnant/parenting teenager emerge.…

    Mentally, the young mother is not an adult yet, either. Parts of the brain that aid in decision making and logic are not fully developed until around age 19. This, coupled with the fact that a young mother has less education and real-world experience than an older woman, means that pregnant teens don't always make the best decisions for themselves and their unborn children. Furthermore, pregnancy at any age is a life-altering event. But during the teen years, pregnancy means that many typical experiences and opportunities are missed--high school graduation, college, general freedom of choice. Young mothers must grow up quickly, taking on responsibilities that they may not be fully prepared to fulfill. In this respect, development must be accelerated to meet the challenges of parenthood…

    The most explosive information about our society surfaced recently. In answering a question in Parliament, the Education Minister easily pulled statistics revealing that every year in our small population of 1.3 million, over 2,500 teenage girls become pregnant; the majority of these unfortunate girls drop out of school; by age 19, over 1,000 girls in this country already have four children; and 50 per cent of mothers in Trinidad and Tobago are single parents (Maraj 2014). Furthermore, the solutions to decrease the high levels of pregnancy among teenagers still remain a challenge for Trinidad and Tobago. As a result, it has been destroying the lives of young girls for generations and the rate of these incidents has not changed significantly for the past fifteen years. Consequently, pregnant teenagers should be allowed to continue their education because it is their right to receive an education regardless of gender, ethnic, economic, social or religious background. Teenage pregnancy has risen significantly among secondary school girls in Trinidad and Tobago and is spreading rapidly due to, lack of sex education, absence of parental guidance, as well as ill-treatment.…

A series of bamboo sticks are set up in a line, with the people holding them in place on either side. Dancers move in and out of the sticks, trying to time their dancing as to not get caught between the bamboo sticks. Performers typically dance hand in hand, slowly making their way sideways along the bamboo line and even the best of dancers always tend to get stuck a few times, resulting in bunches of giggles and loads of smile.…

    Teenage pregnancy is a problem for all involved. It puts a great strain on the parents, especially the mother, and also on their parents who, more often than not, end up with the new baby in their family home, often having to look after it while the baby’s parents are at school, or out socializing and doing the things that teenagers do. Because teen parents are more likely to struggle to deal with parenthood, the child is also more likely to grow up with various problems.…
