Replies drphilforlife Posted at 6:10 am on June 4, 2008 stress off boitch lol onle messinxxxxxx LudovicoTechnique Posted at 2:58 pm on June 3, 2008 The source of stress in my life comes from a couple things, the biggest problem for me is my parents ridiculously high expectations. Also theres the obvious ones such as college, fitting in, and, as of just recently, having a job. I've always felt like I'm the most stressed out of all my friends. I relieve my stress by just relaxing with my friends over the weekend or playing sports and occasionally drinking. Tavis Posted at 2:55 pm on June 3, 2008 School. Top on almost everyone's list. SHBueche Posted at 2:50 pm on June 3, 2008 I sometimes use alcohol to chill out too :) neverjeeps Posted at 2:50 pm on June 3, 2008 School is the place of most stress. I hate it that my parents don't know what i'm studying because when they were in highschool they didn't have to study as hard. They said that if they showed up to class they would pass, now I can show up everyday do all of the homework, go in for morning tutoring and still fail. And that all of these rules from school and the stucture is useless when we can see past it and know that we will not be using the skills we are forced to learn for the rest of our lives. Highschool and college are very different too. College is lecture when in highschool they try to have fun and fill the class with useless side projects when we could run through the information in a 10 minute lecture. SHBueche Posted at 2:49 pm on June 3, 2008 Thanks for the replies, yes, I probably am a little too old to be here (49 I hate to admit) but there is some great stuff here. Love the photo someone posted. Lightning Strikes Posted at 2:49 pm on June 3, 2008 Boys.

Allie Cat666 Posted at 2:47 pm on June 3, 2008 I get stressed a lot, but it passes. i try to keep it to myself when i am stressed, but then my dad realizes that something is wrong and he decides that he neeeeeds to get to the bottom of it. i would much rather be left alone, but parents just know when something's up. i will also try lying down and reading a good, relaxing book to get over it. also, u could listen to ur favorite song or do some homework. my main cause of stress is school and home. taraxgoesxboom Posted at 2:47 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from Energizer Bunny at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 This is a teen forum.   lmao, that man's sexy.
