School related stress for me changed thru school, went from more a social stress in high school to a time management stress in college.....


High school and grade school I was always afraid of talking in front of everyone.I would get nervous and hated getting up and speaking in front of people, esp since I knew everyone, it's always harder to get in front of your peers I think. My emet wasn't really bad then so I didn't worry day to day about being sick. I did well in school as a kid so grades and homework were never a worry for me.


THEN, college came and my stress was more related to moving out of my parents house, working to pay for my living expenses, having time for class and finishing homework. I got my degree in engineering and the coursework was insane, sometimes homework problems took me 20 hours to finish, yes, you read that right. So I think as your priorities change, your stresses change.


Hope that helped!
