Stress and its effects on young people today. Many young adult now are as stressed as adults. There are many variations of causes to our stress, but some are lack of sleep, too much homework, multiple projects, school, teachers, parents, and peers. The main reason for our stress would be school. Many things happen in our life, and most of those events occur during school time since a young adult's life is basically in school. We get our assignments and projects from teachers at school, and sometimes, those school work can become too much for us to handle. There are needs for us to do our work, but most teachers seems to have an ideal image of us only doing their work, not having any other assignments for other classes. All these school work will and are preventing many students from sleeping. Since we do not have time to sleep, this eventually leads to sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation, it is when one does not get enough sleep and eventually leading to health issues, such as weight gain. If a student has sleep deprivation and has sudden weight gain or weight lose, this can affect their daily lives and their health. A student's image is important to maintain at school. In modern society were a person is judged by its cover, it can be fatal for a sudden change. Eventually, this change in their life will turn into stress, and this stress combined with our school work stress can lead to something deathly. There are certain limits that young people can handle, and unlike adults, young adults do not know how to handle a large amount of stress. If one does not know how to handle stress and grow tired of everything, they can look towards an ending solution, suicide, and today there is a high rate of young teen suicide.
** Should students be allowed to have cell phones in elementary, middle, or high school?**
I think that students of all ages and grades should be allowed to have cell phones in school. The reason is because the school promotes technologically literate students. If a school encourages technological literacy, then I think cell phones are also helping achieve that goal. Also, many school directors tell students that teachers are more "responsible" with what they do since they are older and more professional, but adults and students have no difference at all. You can find a lot more teachers using their cell phones in class than students now in this modern time.
Another reason why students should be allowed to use their cell phones is because it is our unspoken right. The school system takes away a lot of our rights as a student, and I do not think it would be fair for students if they took away cell phones. Also, cell phones are not only used to text or call our friends or family, but it is also needed for emergency situations, and if the school would take our phones away and an emergency occurs then we would have nothing to contact anyone. So I think students of all grades should be allowed to have phones with them in school.
