In the society today, school life is full of hassles, deadlines, nuisances, and demands. Yet studies have found that students of all ages experience some degree of pressure when attending school. Most of students spend most of their time on assignments, home works and projects. Although they have a little free time, they will choose to keep on playing at social network either choose to exercise at outside. This totally changes the young people’s lifestyle and effects their healthy. For this situation, what has affected the young people and effect for them? The causes are high expectation from others, concern to their future and family issues.

The young peoples have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Parents, family members and teachers usually have high expectation at them. Because they are expected to keep their grades up, they will feel stress and keep working hard without concern at their health. This causes worry in student’s life if they can't keep up with or exceed these expectations. This is especially true for students who are receiving federal financial aid, because they have to maintain a certain GPA to continue receiving funds from the constitution. Anyone who in long-lasting stress will have a higher risk of high blood pressure or heart problems. Stress might have a direct effect on the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attack.

Students have to be realistic about their chances of employing. Every employer will place the employee’s certificate at the first. This make the student’s more focus on their studies but the youths now a time memorize the information just to score in examination, they don’t carry out in their real life. This makes them less practice or move on without direction or study in a blind panic. They may get a flying colour in their test but when they graduated and come into society, they will realise that their communication skills and thinking skills are not enough for them to strive in

their career. Communicate is what keeps you on your toes during your work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to work when you'd rather be late because sleeping.

Family can greatly influence student's actions and create additional pressure in the process. Many students feel obligated to please their parents, especially college or university’s students might get stressed out when their grades aren't up to par because they know their parents will be disappointed. Parents may be a bit overprotective at first, because it's the student's first time away from home and in the process of learning independent. All of this added pressure can put a great weight on the student's shoulders. If they have a lot of responsibilities and worries, their emergency stress response may be activated most of the time. As long as they force themselves to be perfect in their studies, they have the high risk to get into mental problems. Long-term pressure can rewire the brain, leaving student to be vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

In conclusion, high expectation from others, concern to their future and family issues put the students under a lot of pressure to work hard in their studies.It’s important to learn how to recognize when your stress levels are out of control. Pressure can easily creep up on you anytime. Pressure affects the mind, body, and behaviour in many ways, and everyone experiences the pressure differently. It starts to feel familiar even normal. You can’t even notice how much it’s affecting you, even as it takes a heavy toll. So,we should learn how to manage our pressures.
