Uhhg. C’mon, it’s ok, calm down, deep breaths. Whoosh. Stress can affect your ability to do things.

To begin with, stress can cause you to have a hard time focusing. For instance, during a math test, I wasted the first five minute worrying about how well I would do. As a result, I was unable to finish the last three problems. If I hadn’t wasted that time being stressed – I would have finished! Stress caused me to lose focus and waste valuable time!

Furthermore, you may do things while you are stressed that can physically harm your body. For example, I left all my homework till Sunday night to do, and I became very stressed that I wouldn’t get it done before I had to go to bed. As I worked I unconsciously bit my nails and clenched my jaw. When I finished, my nails were no more and my jaws ached. Stress caused me to harm myself, and waste time, when I shouldn’t have.

Stress does bad things to you. Stressing out about things can only make them harder, so stay calm! Uhhg, now I want to get my science test that I have tommorrow over with!
