Topic:

Effects of under pressure to work hard in studies

In some countries, young people spend most of their time working hard in

their studies. They are stressed from the pressure of studies as a result of plenty

of homeworks and assignments given at school. They only have little leisure time

and get not enough rest every day. Pressure and stress works like a slow poison .

(John,S. 2010.Causes and Effects of Stress.  Retrieved 3 March 2014, from

http://www.studymode.com/essays/Causes-And-Effects-Of-Stress-466336.html ) Some people

said that stress is actually a normal part of our lives. In fact, this problem may

bring some negative effects to young people such as hard to concentrate on

other things, health problems and affect family life.

Firstly, young people who under academic pressure are normally hard to

concentrate on any other things happened on their surroundings. That person is

not able to think about anything else other than their studies. (John,S.

2010.Causes and Effects of Stress.  Retrieved 23 March 2014, from

http://www.studymode.com/essays/Causes-And-Effects-Of-Stress-466336.html ) They can be

bored with everything easily. They only concern about things related to their

academic works. This problem becomes even worse especially when tests or

examinations around the corner. They do not care about anything, but only busy

preparing for exams. This badly affect their spirit towards everyday life.

Besides that, putting too much pressure also contribute to some health

problems among young people. Stress is the main reason of being ill.( Ghada,L.

When young people are stressed for a long time, they can have

sleeplessness, headache, and loss of appetite. They can feel uncomfortable and

tired. (Jacqueline, 2009. Retrieved from 23 March 2014.

stress-affects-health-spirit-44360/)Stress is also really dangerous to their mood

may causing anxiety, lack of motivation, easily irritability, anger, sadness and

depression.( John,S. 2010. Negative effects of stress in students. Retrieved from 23 March

In addition, it can even damage our brain. Stress is the cause of losing cells in

the human brain. According to scientists, this event can occur in the

hippocampus part which collects our memories in our brain. This is the cause of

the beginning of Alzheimer disease.(Ghada,L. 2012. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN OUR

AGE ,http://ydy.yasar.edu.tr/wpcontent/uploads/2012/02/ERASMUS-EXAM-

WRITING.pdf)

Moreover, pressure and stress also affect young people’s family life. Since

their life is becoming hurry and busy, young people have no enough time to stay

with family.Their relationship with family members will be getting worse because

they do not have time to talk to parents and siblings and even show their love

and care for them. If this problem carry on for a long period, a gap may form

between young people and their family. Their relationship cannot be so closed

like they were last time. Sometimes, stress alsomakes them feel frustrated, lose

temper more often, and yell at people around them for no

reason.

In a nutshell, hard to concentrate on other things, health problems and

neglected family life are the negative effects for young people as a result of

putting too much pressure on themselves in their study life. It is obvious that

under pressure is a serious problem. What young people must do is managing

their time properly and get enough rest. I strongly believe that being stressed is

very dangerous and it brings us only unhappiness. We should do our best to

avoid it.( Ghada,L. 2012. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN OUR AGE ,Retrieved from 23 March

2014. http://ydy.yasar.edu.tr/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ERASMUS-

EXAM-WRITING.pdf) Remember to have some leisure time to relax and have

fun.
