STRESS

A FACTOR TO CONSIDER

by Carlos Tarifeño Rojas

Stress is one of the most frequent problems that human beings have presented throughout their busy lives.

It is certain, that most stress derive from work problems. At the moment, many young people have personality conflicts and depression due to this.

Chilean College students are pressured to get good grades, and most of the time these pressures create stress, and some, bring about fatal consequences.

But not only university students are affected by these problems; in high schools and in some junior high schools, students, of any socioeconomic status, can be affected by stress, until the point of commiting suicide.

Why does this happen and how can we detect it early to avoid tragedies?

Many experts have researched this problem, but the issue is why the cases do not decrease but on the contrary, more and more are accentuated, causing statistics that no one can deny?

Cases of "Bullying and Moving" in Chile have increased, causing avoidable tragedies, if only authorities had made awareness programs, in order to detect these problems, and to avoid future misfortunes.
