Stress And Its Effects On Young People Today

          Stress is pressure or tension exerted on a material object. It is also known as "The Silent Killer." Stress is known as the silent killer because it can cause heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pain, and an irregular heartbeat. Stress not only causes that, but also causes acne to worsen and hair loss. Stress is also linked to six of the leading causes of death, which are: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, and suicide. Stress is very dangerous.
   

       
  Stress has made me overwork myself and lose sleep a lot during my freshman and sophomore year. The things that stress me out are projects, tests, service learning, keeping up my grades, trying to keep my parents proud of me, and getting all my credits. These six things have caused me to lose sleep and concentration. I always have to force myself to do better than I am doing now. Nothing is ever good enough, which is very stressful to me. Then I end up breaking down and crying because of all the stress I have. I just wish that what I do is good enough for everyone.

If There Were No Rules

          If one day I woke up and there were no rules, I would take this opportunity and do what i have always wanted to do. I would feed the people in need, give the homeless people shelter, travel the world, and buy my own land. I would not have to worry about any bills, because all would be free. 
          
          First thing I would do is I would be feeding the people in need all around the world. I would help everyone that has no food, let them eat, and get them healthy. I would make sure they had enough food supply to last them. I hate the fact that people say they are doing something about the starvation issues when there are still many men, ladies, and children still out there starving.

          Second thing I would do is I would give the homeless people a place to live. I feel so bad seeing so many people out in the streets with no place to stay. I would help them out because homeless shelters do not take all the homeless people. They sometimes get booked and end up not having enough space. I would make sure they are in a stable place to live and make sure it stays that way. 

          Third thing I would do is I would travel the world, but not just that, it would all be free with my very own private plane. I would travel to the places I have been wanting to visit since I was a little girl. I would first visit Spain, then Paris, and lastly Japan. Spain is just somewhere I have been wanting to go. It seems like a beautiful place to go. Paris is my dream place to visit. I would love to see the eiffel tower and the Paris Love Locks also called "Cadenas D'Amour." And then I would travel to Japan. I have been dying to go there. I would love to see how everything is back there and especially all the Hello Kitty. 

           Lastly, the fourth thing I would do is I would buy my own land. I would build my own dream house. It would be the greatest, beautiful-est, and comfortablest place i call "Home." I would have my beautiful big kitchen, big swimming pool with a waterfall, inside and outside basketball court, and big bedroom, with of course a walk in closet.  And that is what I would do is there were no rules.
