In the article “Anonymous social media- Understanding the content and context of Yik Yak” the authors : Erik W. Black, Kelsey Mezzina, and Lindsay A. Thompson argue that even though Yik Yak, an anonymous social medial aimed for college students does present potential abuse, it does not demonstrate serious threat to students.

They concluded that exam stress reduces immune function, potentially leaving the individual vulnerable to illness and infections. Immune function is also affected by psychological variables such as the stress of life events and feelings of loneliness. These long term stressors may make individuals more vulnerable to the added effect of short term stressors such as exams.

Over the last twelve weeks, many students have participated in their own Single Subject Design (SSD) contain stress levels throughout each week of the semester. Throughout this design, the reversal design method was used throughout the fall semester. In this study, there was many high and low scores on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which is calculated as the following: zero=4, one=three, two=two, three=one, and four= zero. Many questions were answered on a scale of never (zero) to very often (four) pertaining to how often have you felt difficulties were piling so high that you could not overcome them, been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly, and much more. So, also, this study was a process to see how effective some interventions helped reduce your stressful semester.

In conclusion not only is the death penalty a cruel and unlawful punishment, but when the right to live freely is denied it is also a violation of basic human rights. There are around 140 countries that have abolished the death penalty, with still no international law forbidding the use of it. Nevertheless, Canada has spent around 15-20 billion on the Criminal Justice system in hopes that it will help solve crime. In the end, most Canadians would agree that bringing back the death penalty is a dishonest punishment, with permanent results and in no way promises that it will help decrease the crime rate and keep Canadians safe.

A timed task is a heavy duty on itself. It’s challenging to remember a certain equation from a dozen of them, or to add another equation on top of another , or dig your memory to solve a problem and then get mixt up by the terms and so on so forth , and then the thoughts of failing surrounds you ether you complete it with a high score or give up and do what you can remember and that is not good. Lack of preparation for the test and not knowing what subjects they will include more. Testing is a failing factor for many students even though they studied the materials and did what they had to do to get prepared. Not being able to be calm while taking the test can make you fail. I read an article from The New York Times written by Kate Taylor on March 7, 2018 she says” At Stuyvesant High School, the most competitive of New York City’s specialized public schools, only 10 black students and 27 Latino students received offers this year” “ according to data released by the education department on Wednesday, black and Latino students made up only 10 percent of those offered spots for next fall at the eight high schools that administer the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, a percentage that has been essentially unchanged for

I, like many other students, have fallen victim to the panic-cram-panic cycle right before a final. Those nights full of cramming and binge drinking Red Bulls have resulted in missed questions on topics I had already known. My experience with that has been reported by a phycology professor at the University of Chicago, Sain Beilock, who stated that “stressing about doing well on an important exam can backfire, leading students to ‘choke under pressure’ or score less well than they might otherwise scoring the stakes weren’t that high.” The stress that is brought by this has also been proven, by Cornell University Medical School, to cause long-term damage by “…stunning the cognitive system that support the attention and memory skills everyday,”

The roles that childhood trauma has on adult social lives is tremendous. It is important for social work practitioners to closely abide by the NASW Code of Ethics when working with this population to combat resurfacing and unaddressed childhood trauma. When assisting clients social workers should pay special attention to specific values such as: dignity and worth of a person and competence. When clients seek service or they are mandated to receive service from social workers it is our job to keep the best interest of the client at hand and make them feel warmth and genuineness. It is hard for clients to touch on childhood traumatic experiences because some do not know what trauma is and when they let us in we have to ensure that we do not make

Stress and Test Anxiety in Schools: Are Test Scores Really the Most Important Factor in Education?

Feeling stressed can take a toll on your emotional health. At the time of exams, people develop this stress, and adults need better ways to help their kids cope with the stress. Parents need to understand the stress and be cooperative in any way.

This in-between phase is where stress is at its highest. The period usually occurs during our college phase because college is typically (not always though) a necessity in order to succeed. Standards are different with every job, but success in a field depends on willpower and perseverance. Stress affects everyone on different levels, where some thrive off stress and many do not. The symptoms of stress are slight, where most people might not even realize that they are even showing symptoms, so learning to recognize even the slightest symptoms may prove to be beneficial. After recognizing the symptoms of stress, these students and everyone else could take measures to relax or perform activities that relieve stress. These slight side effects, that may not be noticeable, are impairing individuals mentally, and if symptoms remain untreated, then physical side effects occur as well. Choosing to do well is stressful because it is guaranteed that there is a mountain of work in the way before an individual reaches success.

Thesis:  Today I will discuss about sources and effects of student stress and efficient ways to manage this emotional and physical strain.

Stress is no new phenomenon. It’s been around as long as man and has captivated scholars and physicians alike. With the growing demand for degrees in the professional world comes the growth of the number of college students. The relationship between stress and college students has become the subject of on-going research. Several studies show that stress in college students is increasing with time and the authors of those studies are attributing this to an increased number of students. Other research seems to indicate that it isn’t necessarily the stress that is increasing but the awareness of it. Increased awareness of stress, and its unique toll on individuals, allows colleges and students to recognize

That feeling of walking back from an exam or staying up all night cramming information is well known to any student who has been through college. It leaves one feeling overwhelmed like the week will never end. The feelings are held inside while friends and roommates accuse moodiness which leads to the meltdown that is inevitable. These times are a result of a common state known as stress. Stress is a condition in which the body responds to any kind of demand or threat caused by life factors which include pressure, work, school, major changes, and lack of sleep. This factor is very common in colleges, especially freshmen and can also be seen here at Trine University. Stress can affect both physical and mental conditions in the body, such as sleep patterns, eating habits, anxiety,

Which collects the health statistics of students from universities all around the world every second year, reported that 40.2 percent of Santa Clara University students identified that stress affected their individual academic performance during the last 12 months of their studies (Temple,2011). Temple (2011) reported a survey conducted in 2004 that assessed the overall well-being of 47,202 undergraduates nationwide. The findings were that 32.4 percent of students recognized stress as the main obstacle to their academic performance. This was said to be above the common cold, depression, death of a relative, sexual assault and eating disorders. Stress is “once considered as the nation’s number one health epidemic; prolonged stress can lead to ulcers, heart disease, stroke, major depression and to a shorter life span” (Temple, 2011).
