It’s that time of the year when students start biting their fingernails! With the examination season upon us, it is natural to get stressed as there is an unprecedented pressure that is created by social media due to an information overflow and even a toxic mixture of unrealistic peer and parental pressure.
In today’s fast-paced world, information is readily available at the click of a button. This hardly gives time or space for reflection and assimilation of knowledge. In addition, constant comparisons between offline and online also creates a pressure cooker kind of situation for teenagers.
Panic attacks, tantrums, and dark circles around the eyes are some tell-tale signs you may have noticed. You probably remember your exam dates better than your birthday! Parents say “STUDY!”, but even spelling it is a stress!
Unfortunately, such stress can lead to a stage where you may think yourself to be worthless. It is like a vicious cycle that can negatively impact your performance and score.
So how does one cope in such a situation? First and foremost, sit back, think, and ask yourself:
- Are you alienating yourself from your support peer group and parents?
- Are you questioning your self-worth?
- Is sleep your worst enemy?
- Has your mealtime become a chore?
- Do you feel that you may not meet the expectations of your parents or social group?
- Do you have difficulty in focusing?
- Are you a time bomb waiting to explode?
You might have other symptoms of stress that are not listed here and that’s okay. No two people are born alike. We are all different and cope with stress in different ways.
