The purpose of this article was to focus more so on coping with stress. The article noted that stress and coping are interrelated. As mentioned by Pestonjee, and Pandey (2013), “stress can be experienced in several ways such as having to encounter frustrating situations, when personal goals are thwarted or due to pressures arising from internal or external sources, e.g., when personal expectations of topping an exam are high or experiencing conflicts between goals or shifting to a new city for better job prospects while having to stay away from family or choosing between two equally good colleges” (p. 212). The author spoke on three models of stress, these include the biological model which describes the process of biological decompensation under continuous stress, the field Model, based on Lewin’s Field Theory which suggests that the mental experience of a person is a function of the interaction between environment and the self, and the transactional model that emphasizes the appraisal and perception of the situation as critical (Pestonjee, and Pandey, 2013).

Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. People get stressed for all sorts of different reasons and sometimes it's not always about big things. Studies say that teens are more stressed than any adult in today’s society. The expectations of today’s teens are set very high and parents expect a lot out of their child. Parents often times don't tend to realize how much their child is going through. The amount of papers and homework that students get, can make them feel like they're trapped in a hole and slowly trying to climb out of it, before the deadline hits.

Students under stress feel hopeless, sad and so depressed that it seriously affects their daily life. They just want to sit at home and not talk to anybody and procrastinate. The problem of stress should be taken seriously because of these alarming circumstances. Even though stress affects students, it is possible to manage stress at some level and decrease the negative impact on their health.

Whether stress is actually an issue for students continues to be a matter of debate. Although stress has several negative effects, in some situations, stress can be viewed as a good element for students. This referred to as good or healthy stress. According to Renee Jain, studies and research show that stress can benefit a person. For example, a study by the Stanford University School of Medicine found that in some situations stress can help one’s immune system. Moreover, other studies show that stress can allegedly improve one’s learning, decision making, and result in a positive mindset, as stated by Renee Jain. Stress can also be viewed as a way to allow students to understand adulthood and the idea that you have to work hard in order to succeed in life. While talking and interacting with other students, researchers may argue that students do not have enough time to study and complete school work. Despite these studies and oppositions by researchers, I and many others still believe that stress is a troubling
