「 When a kid'sstress becomes distress 」
When a kid's stress becomes distress . "Stress","Stress", you can hear this word often , especially from the students .Where did the stress come from ? From school works , friends and parents or even because of girl boy relationship.Do you agreed .You know what DiStReSs is ? Worse than stress , leading to mental breakdown . The kids in S'pore and Japan get to distress easier as both countries are quite competitive , economy is going very fast .
Stress from school works .I think it is the major problem that cause Stress..A simple screening tool may show parents that a child who cannot cope in school or who has behavioural problems is actually distressed .Examples in June last year , a top pupil ,10 yrs old Lysher Loh died after jumping from a block in Bedok Reservoir Road. She is in Bedok West Pri Sch who was disappointed with her mid-year results and complaining about too much works .This can show us that she was having mental breakdown due to overload works .The sources of these stress may due to abundants tests and exams .The students could not take it anymore so they choose to die in order to solve their problems .
A quiet child may see to be 'good' , a playful as' naughty' and those cannot concentrate as 'stupid' .These are actually symptoms of childhood distress ,as different people express their stress in different ways .
Besides all the bad side of stress, the good side of stress is ...With a certain level stress can prompt a person to perform better .However above the optimal level, raising too much stress could cause their result to deteriorate .The person may be distress meaning mental breackdown could be happened.
Stress from parents .Some parents want their children to perform so they gave them alot of tuition .This will also cause distress to their kids
