Stress is an unavoidable factor in life today. Many factors can cause of stress for students and these can lead to several negative effects. The following essay will describe the reasons for student stress and the consequences of it. There are many reasons for young people experiencing stress nowadays. To begin with, most students are under pressure to do well in their exams. They not only have to study hard at school, but also attend institutes in the evening, which means their days are very full and stressful. Because they have such a high workload, they may not have time for physical activity, or sport, and as a result, they have increased feelings of stress. In addition to being busy at school and at institutes, they usually get homework. If they have no time to do the homework that their teachers gave them they may get into trouble, and this can lead to even more pressure and difficulty. There are some serious consequences of stress that is caused by being under pressure from schools, institutes and exams. If a student has worked at school all day and then attended another institute at night, this could lead to insomnia, because it is difficult to stop thinking and worrying about future tests or exams. This might become even worse if a student has not done any physical activity to make his or her body tired. Worrying and lack of sleep can lead to failure in tests or exams, which is a big problem for many students.
