The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day: Students Dealing with Stress


      Staff Writer: Nevan McFoy
AGCS students' normal stress level is 6, which is one is one above what could be considered a normal stress level. I went around at lunch and surveyed at least 50 people, and I asked these questions: What do you stress about? How does stress affect you? How do you manage your stress?
Most students when surveyed picked school as the top thing they stress about. Instead of how they look, social media, not sleeping, their weight, and all the above. I was surprised most people didn't pick all the above.
What do you stress about?

Most students in Avon Grove Charter School are affected by stress as seen below. With most being overwhelmed, the others mostly voted being angry all the time. When some people stress they feel nervous over things that aren't important at the time.
How does stress affect you?

Most students in Avon Grove Charter school manage their stress by listening to their music and sleeping. This makes students happy. The more peace and sleep they get by themselves allows their stress level to drop and make them less stressed than they were a few minutes ago because their brain finally had a time to catch up and relax to the thing they are doing. That's why most students prefer to sleep and listen to music because their brain can rest.

How do you manage your stress?

When I was walking around asking these questions. I also asked if they ever felt bad about the way you treated teachers or friends when they've  been under a lot of stress? 28 students said yes, that they have felt bad the way they treated others. About 14 students said they don't feel bad when they treat teachers and students badly in a mean crude way.
