So lately people at my school have been STRESSED OUT!!! Personally I don't get super stressed out about small thing but it feels like 95% of my the people in my class think the world is ending whenever the words "test" "quiz" "homework" "grade" "late" "due" "75" or "algebra" Which to be fair at times those can be pretty stressful words, but when you stress about them ALL THE TIME it becomes hard to even think or process new information.
Stress is our body's emergency system and is there to give us a quick burst of energy to get out of a dangerous situation.

For Example did you know that people who have constant elevated stress leaves are more prone to getting to having their stress manifest into physical illness. So if you been stressed and you wake up one morning feeling like your heads pounding and stomach is in a knot, it might be because you got too stressed for too long.
Here are a few quick facts about stress that might motivate you to take a deep breath and just relax:
