Understanding Stress

Stress is a pain, anxiety, or frustration one may have with him self or his surroundings. I think in youth stress is different from adults. I say this because parents stress about this like bills, kids and work but kids may stress out about overwhelming school projects, friends, and certain home situations. Some children's stress is worst then parents only because they may not be the best student in school them to come home to constant yelling and screaming. Some people deal with stress differently. A bad way to deal with stress is smoking, drinking and any types of violence. Sleep is also a bad way to deal with stress only because, if you sleep when your stressed out that is your way of escaping the real world, but when you wake up you still have reality to face.Young people deal with peer pressure which for kids is the worst kind of stress. Peer Pressure is pressure from your peers making you do something or encouraging you to do something you don't want to. Even though stress may be bad there is good types of stress. A good type of stress would be the stress you get right before your about to give a report in front of the whole class. Some good types of stress are relaxing, reading and doing constructive creative arts with your time.

Talking Equality

I believe that this article is very offensive to Blacks and Latinos. This is offensive because it's saying that Blacks and Latinos are inferior to Whites and Asians. One of the general ideas of the the newspaper that Asian and Whites are accepted in to special admission schools over Blacks and Latinos. That statement is untrue because more and more people of color are getting into schools like central, girls high, CAPA , and others. Another general idea that caught my attention was the idea of 11% of Blacks and 10% Latinos were in AP classes while 24% of Whites and 34% Asians are in AP classes in high school.

Eventhough I don't agree with these numbers they are true. It shows that in time we've lost our strength and power. Our people made perfect buildings using math, some of these buildings still stand today over thousands of years later. This article shows us that we really need to make a change in what we are doing or we could end up being illiterate.
