What is Stress?• Stress – How your body and mind respond to being challenged

and threatened– You experience stress when situations, events, or people make demands on your body

and mind.• Eustress – Positive Stress Ex. College Applications

• Helps you escape from a dangerous situation• Promotes your personal growth• Helps you accomplish your goals

• Distress – Negative Stress Ex. Unwanted Pregnancy• Stress can begin to take a negative toll on a performance

The Many Causes of

Stress• An event or situation that causes stress is called a

stressor.– These events make demands on your body and mind.

• Four general types of stressors are:1. Major life changes-

Takes energy to adjust to a new situation, may threaten your sense of security/self esteem

2. Catastrophes- Event that threatens lives, destroys property, may deal with psychological effects after the event

3. Everyday problems- minor but frequent “hassles”4. Environmental problems- Conditions in immediate

surroundings that affect levels of stress

With a partner please list examples of each major stressor

p. 15 of the packet. Put an example at each point of the

circle.

Every day problems Environmental

Problems

How Stress Affects Your

Body• The body’s response to stress occurs in three stages1. Alarm Stage

2. Resistance Stage

3. Exhaustion Stage

Alarm Stage – Fight or Flightpg. 61

• All stressors trigger the same stress response however the intensity of the response will vary with each situation

ALARM STAGE• During the alarm stage the body releases a

substance called adrenaline into your blood.– Causes many immediate changes in your body

• Ex. Heart beats faster breathing speeds up and muscles tense

• Attention narrows as you focus on the stressor

– These changes prepare you to either “fight” the stressor or “take flight” and escape.

– Fight or Flight response

Alarm Stage

4) Breathing rate increases.

5) More sugar released into blood. Ability of blood clot increases.

6) Flow of blood to skin reduced. Sweating increases.

8) Pupils open wide.

10) Lump forms in throat as muscles contract.

3) Flow of blood to brain increases.

2) Heart rate and blood pressure increase. 7) Flow of blood to digestive

system reduced. Digestion slows. More stomach acid produced.

1) Adrenaline released into blood.

9) Muscles tense. More energy produced by cells.

Fight-or-Flight Response p. 61

RESISTANCE STAGE

• During this stage, your body adapts to the continued presence of the stressor.

• The work that your body does during the resistance stage uses up a lot of energy. As a result, you may become tired, irritable, and less able to handle any added stress.

EXHAUSTION STAGE

• Your body can no longer keep up with the demands placed on it.

• Your physical and emotional resources are depleted.

• Exhaustion occurs only if a stressor continues for a long time—usually weeks, months, or even years.

E investigates: TEEN SUICIDE

Can you find the clues for a potentially suicidal teen?

Kelly was a 15 year-old girl who lived in the Midwest.

Her parents had recently divorced, which forced her to move to a new community of 3,000 people. She hated the small town atmosphere, and didn’t make any new friends. Her sister Tiffany, her only friend, was going away to college in the fall, which made her feel even worse.

Kelly was having trouble sleeping, her grades were failing, and she was crying almost everyday. She tried to tell her dad and new stepmom that she was feeling terrible, but they said that things would get better if she would just give it some time.

She gave her sister her birthstone ring and said she wouldn’t need it anymore.

Haley was sixteen and had been dealing with depression since she was 12 years old. She never felt ‘quite right’ in middle school, feeling like she didn’t fit in. She started using alcohol on a regular basis, and then marijuana.

Most of her old friends didn’t do this, so she started hanging around with a different group of teenagers. She put herself at risk by having unprotected sex with friends in the group. Since school didn’t seem important anymore, she started skipping classes.

She was sinking lower and lower, and thinking that it was not going to get any better. She told her mom that she accidentally threw away her prescription anti-depressant drugs, and needed a new bottle. Her mom got the bottle refilled.

She told her friends that “life wasn’t worth living,” and said she was going to run away the next weekend. Thinking she wasn’t going to be home, her friends didn’t call on Friday or Saturday. Her parents found her dead from a pill overdose. Saturday night in the park, after a long search.

Mike was a 17 year old who seemed to “have it all.” He was popular at school, had lots of friends, and his grades were always straight “A’s”. He was a member of the soccer and golf teams and president of a school club. He strived to be the very best that he could, since his father had died and he wanted to be a good example for his younger siblings.

He filled out many college applications, but because of a poor SAT score, just couldn’t seem to get admitted to the top colleges. His family thought that he should study harder and retake the test. Mike started to feel very anxious, sad, and desperate. He told his brother and sister that “it just wasn’t worth it anymore” and went for a drive. His pickup was found, totaled. He had been thrown 50 feet and died instantly of a broken neck.

The officer brought up the fact that it didn’t look like an accidental death. His mother denied that it was a suicide, insisting that her son had everything to live for, and probably just fell asleep.

Peter, 16 years old, never did very well at school. In fact, he was barely passing. He was a very talented musician, and wrote many songs about death and the life hereafter. He changed his appearance, colored hair, and experimented a little with drugs.

During his 9th grade year, he realized that his feelings about his friends were different. He felt an attraction to his male friends, but never addressed the feelings. He knew that they wouldn’t understand, and the worst thing in the world would be called a “fag.”

He started to use heavier drugs to help him handle the feelings. He bought a gun from one of his new friends. He wrote his last song, “I Found The Way,” after a long night of drinking. His dad found the lyrics and gun beside him, as he lay in a pool of blood.
